At the sight of such a peaceful scene, many students were envious. Who wouldn't want a straight-A student boyfriend who could provide guidance on various subject topics all the time? Especially since the top student's appearance was out of this world. He was absolutely impressive! "It must feel so great to date a straight-A student..." One of the students whispered enviously. "Wasn't the graduate name list posted a long time ago? Why don't you find a boyfriend from the list?" "Um... forget it. Someone like Kevin, who is handsome and smart, is very rare and hard to find." Her tone sounded as if it was such a pity. "Haha, you want to find someone like Kevin? How about you look at the gap between yourself and Tianna first?" The other classmate teased her in a friendly manner. "If I look almost the same as Tianna, then I won't have to worry about this. How nice would it be to be someone with nothing but just a pretty face?" "See, this is the
Tianna was in a good mood after receiving all kinds of compliments. Tianna knew that she had made great progress thanks to Kevin's guidance. Thus, she said, "Kevin, thank you for helping me practice these days. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made so much progress." Kevin put on a look as if it wasn't a big deal and said cooly, "You don't have to be so polite with your own boyfriend." Knowing that the two were about to start again, Candy immediately gave them a disgusted look and said, "Come on, show it! Show off as you guys want. I'll go first and leave the stage to Kevin to perform alone!" Candy quickly left the "battlefield" and ran back to her room to ask Cleveland to go shopping with her. Kevin only began with his real performance after she left. "Then, this time, could I ask for a little reward?" Kevin asked. Tianna glanced at him and said with some amusement, "Didn't you just say I don't have to be so polite to my own boyfriend? And yet you'r
Tianna stroked Kevin's head with one hand, tilted her head, and touched his forehead gently. She whispered in his ear, "Hey, stop acting coquettishly. If you don't stand properly, how can I kiss you?" Kevin was like a spring and bounced up suddenly. When he stood properly and looked like he was ready, Tianna couldn't help but laugh. "Seriously, you..." Kevin's eyes looked as if he was full of longing for Tianna. She was infected by her eyes and emotions, and unconsciously became nervous. Kevin was a head taller than Tianna. Every time they kissed, she had to stand on her tiptoes. Tianna held back her shyness and took the initiative to put her arm around Kevin's neck. She stood on tiptoes and kissed him without hesitation. Therefore, it turned out that taking the initiative was also quite interesting. Kevin felt at odds with himself. While enjoying the pleasure coming from Tianna's initiative, he also felt dissatisfied at the same time. Ho
Cleveland understood that Candy was trying to make him happy, so he gave her a big smile. He no longer cared about who paid the bill. After all, his money came from his parents. Even if he wanted to take care of Candy, he should wait until he could make money in the future. "That's right. It's good to smile!" Seeing Cleveland's relaxed expression, Candy relaxed as well. She immediately held his arm and started shopping with him. Normally, Candy would pay more attention to Cleveland. However, once she entered the shopping mall, she wouldn't care about things other than goods in the shopping mall. Cleveland had become a tool to carry things. "Miss, try this new model. They just arrived at our store." When the shopping staff saw Candy and Cleveland's expensive outfits, they thought they were honoured guests. The shopping staff were particularly enthusiastic. "Not bad. Take one for me," said Candy. She went to the fitting room to change cloth
Candy was disgusted. She didn't expect that her classmates would say such wicked words behind their backs. Didn't she always greet them with a smile? She now understood not to judge a book by its cover. She had no appetite now. However, she didn't want to ruin Cleveland's mood. "I don't want to eat in the mall. Let's go find a restaurant outside?" "All right." After returning home, Candy saw that Kevin and Tianna were still watching Dominic's new play. "Didn't you eat dinner?" asked Candy. "We had our dinner," answered Tianna. "Dominic's new play is pretty good. Come and support him." "Oh." Candy lacked interest. "Do you want to watch it with us?" Tianna invited her. "Never mind. You two watch it yourself," Candy said as she walked upstairs with the shopping bags. Tianna felt that it was strange. It was fine if Candy didn't want to watch other dramas. However, Dominic was their friend. According to Candy's personality, she wou
Since learning the truth, Tianna looked upset. Even when Kevin sneaked into her room, she didn't have the strength to drive him away like usual. "What's going to happen to me?" Tianna asked in reply. Kevin understood Tianna so well. He knew that this matter had a big impact on her. However, all he could do was to accompany her. It was impossible to travel back in time and change anything. "I haven't seen you smile recently," said Kevin. "If you are sad, you can tell me." Tianna felt ashamed. Her mind was full of the fact that she had been abandoned. She could digest such shameful things by herself in the night. How could she tell Kevin? "Nothing. You're too sensitive, aren't you?" Tianna said with a sweet smile. Although it was a joke, Kevin couldn't laugh. His heart became heavier. He wanted to save Tianna from this depressed mood. On the long night, Tianna was lying in bed for an entire night without sleep. Was she not good enough
Therefore, he decided to continue to work hard. Of course, since he knew that he could not defeat Tianna in cold jokes, he would not humiliate himself again. He decided to change his strategy. "Cough..." Kevin pretended to cough, trying to attract Tianna's attention. Tianna was so engrossed in eating the steak, she didn't even raise her head. There was no other way, Kevin began coughing like he had a serious illness. He coughed for a long time as if he was going to cough his lungs out. Only then, Tianna gave him a slight look. "What do you want now?" Tianna asked helplessly. Sometimes, Kevin was like a child. He didn't say things directly. He liked to first catch your attention. Only when your eyes were fixed on him, he would start "performing" proudly. "I'll perform a magic show for you," said Kevin, with a bit of complacency and pride. Tianna saw him holding two silver bangles in his hand. This person had been staying by her side all this tim
It was a complete defeat. "Hmph, someone thinks he's so amazing!" Candy said with hatred. "It's not a big deal. Didn't I become an honorary graduate while dating?" Kevin looked at Candy calmly and joked. "Work hard, I have faith in you." Candy clutched her fork hard, afraid that she lost control of herself and poke Kevin's face. "This doesn't make sense. Kevin, you bully!" Candy broke down and said. Tianna was amused by the two of them. She persuaded, "Alright, Candy. Don't bicker with him. It's not like you don't know what kind of person he is." "I don't understand. Tianna, you're so good-tempered. How can you tolerate him?" Candy was angry. Tianna smiled and said evilly, "Because he never fights back with me." Candy was dumbfounded. After staring blankly for a few seconds, she roared again, "It's unreasonable. Even Tianna has been affected by Kevin!" Kevin was defended and felt happy. He looked at Tianna and smiled. In the
"Okay." Grace agreed and said, "I have something else to discuss with you." When he finally heard this sentence, Zaden knew that there must've been something going on. "What's the matter?" As they talked, they went into the lounge. Zaden also specifically told the secretaries that no one was allowed to come in and disturb him before work in the afternoon. These words made the secretaries' eyes turn red. Since he had ordered them to keep everyone out of his office while he was inside with a woman, it was hard to control their imaginations from running wild. "How's your investigation on my surrogacy?" Grace asked. Zaden had thought that Grace's patience was wearing thin, and so she had sought him out for an update on his progress. Feeling a little ashamed, he said, "I'm sorry. There hasn't been any progress so far. You know that information on surrogacy is highly secured. It won't be so easy for my subordinates to investigate it." "It's okay. You
"Stop!" Grace made a gesture and said, "I'm going to the Empire Group. Do you want to go with me?" "Oh?" Gentry was flustered for a moment and then realized that he had almost gotten himself in trouble. He quickly said goodbye. "Sorry, sorry for bothering you. It's my fault!" Grace shook her head helplessly. She went to the kitchen to bring the toiletries she had prepared for Zaden, and set off for the Empire Group. Grace took a cab, as she didn't have the nerve to ask her chauffeurs to give her a ride. This was the first time Grace had taken the initiative to go there. She didn't know whether she was going to meet Zaden or not, but the staff at the front desk had changed since the last time she had went to deliver food and she didn't know when it had happened. Hence, the new staff didn't know her at all. However, when she saw that Grace was dressed up very beautifully and elegantly, she guessed that Grace must be someone important. Naturally, she didn't d
This time, Grace took the initiative. She stood on tiptoe, hooked her arms around Zaden's neck, and took the initiative to plant her pink lips on his. The chaste kisses turned into lingering kisses. Zaden had always restrained himself very much. Every time he met Grace, he always felt that he was on the verge of losing control. "Well, I can't believe that you are so obedient today. Go to sleep. If you kiss me again, I might not remain chaste. You won't have a chance to sleep even if you want to," said Zaden. After going to bed, Grace took the initiative to cradle into Zaden's arms. Just like Dulcie acting like a spoiled child, Grace had also put all of her heart and soul into Zaden, like a spoiled child. The next day, there was still no sign of Zaden at breakfast in the Andrew household. "Oh? Dad's gone again..." Dulcie said regretfully. Douglas found that his sister was upset, thus he comforted her, "It doesn't matter, Dulcie. Daddy need
The silent confrontation was still going on, and Zaden was waiting. When would Moira give in? Moira was also waiting. When would Zaden be gracious enough to let her go? However, perhaps these two people didn't know each other very well. They both had naive expectations that were absolutely wrong and impossible to achieve from the beginning. "It's so cold..." Moira murmured in a low voice. As she spoke, a puff of white vapor immediately appeared in front of her lips. Even though kneeling down like this was not a big deal, Moira had always been pampered and had grown up a spoiled child. She had never suffered this kind of hardship before. Her body could not bear it either. She only felt that her legs were on the verge of losing its strength and becoming numb. The rain grew heavier and heavier, and the wind and rain swayed. Flowers in the garden were beaten into a mess by the rain, as so was Moira. Moira's body had reached its limit, and she could not catch h
"Plop—" Moira's kneecaps hit the ground, the sound of it ringing crisp. Grace was dumbfounded. She looked at Moira, who was kneeling in front of her, and could not say anything for a while. As for Zaden, there was not even the slightest expression on his face. "What, what are you doing?" Grace asked. She instinctively stood up from her chair as she took in the scene before her, at a complete loss of what to do. Moira glanced at her. Sometimes, when one's ego was at one's feet, one becomes more able to take humiliation than usual. She replied with indifference, "Why are you so agitated? I'm not kneeling at you. Don't think too much of yourself." Moira looked at Zaden and said, "Zaden, I beg you, please have mercy on the Coulson family. No matter what you demand, as long as I can do it, you can demand it!" Zaden frowned and said, "Kneel further if you want to. You're an eyesore right now." Mercy? For someone like Zaden, mercy had always bee
"No, Mother, if Zaden takes over the Coulson Group, then we..." Moira could not continue speaking. She did not even want to imagine what would happen. "You understand now? I thought a donkey kicked you in the brain!" "That... That won't do. I'll go beg him right now!" Moira shouted. Now that things had come to this, it was obvious that Zaden's target was Moira. Although she was extremely unwilling, she would have to make a stand against him now. No matter what she would have to experience, she had to protect the company. She could not lose everything. She rushed to the Andrew family villa, but Moira was not even allowed through the main entrance. "Let me in!" Moira began making a scene outside. She made such a ruckus that it was difficult for the people inside to ignore her. "Mr. Andrew, Miss Coulson is causing a scene outside, this..." the butler informed Zaden "Let her be," Zaden said expressionlessly. This was not the first
Grace frowned before cutting Moira off. "Moira, there's no use in talking to me like that. I just want to know who it is. Tell me the truth!" "Do you think I'll tell you just because you want to know?" Moira scoffed before retorting, "Who do you think you are?" "Does this mean that you admit you used Mr. Yale's name to deceive me?" Grace quickly latched onto the loophole in Moira's words. "Hah, I didn't say that. You're just making things up." Moira was still as stubborn as a mule. She once again diverted the topic so that she could insult and ridicule Grace. All sorts of vulgarities came through the call, and each minute that passed only pushed a person's limits even further. Grace felt nothing at Moira's words. However, Zaden, who was next to her, did not want to hear any more of it. He was on his last straw, so he grabbed the phone to end the call. "Are you stupid? Just letting her scold you like that?" Zaden asked, his tone sour. "As long a
"Mr. Yale and his wife are quite old, so having children has been difficult for them. In the beginning, they contacted many surrogacy agencies. However, Mr. Yale was extremely cautious when it came to picking a surrogate mother. This caused a lot of trouble to the agencies since the surrogate mothers they suggested never met his standards." "Later, Mr. Yale thought about going abroad to find a surrogate mother. However, right at the critical moment, he suddenly found out that Mrs. Yale was already pregnant!" "The pleasant surprise caused them to give up their search for a surrogate mother. After all, Mrs. Yale wasn't getting any younger and they both went through a lot to get this son, so that's why the Yale family treats him so preciously." As Zaden listened to the report from his subordinate on the other end of the call, his mood grew complicated. The only way he could clear his mind was to focus on the fact that the night wind had blown his body cold. To be h
Mr. Yale's word of thanks was like a knife stabbing into Grace's heart. How could she be worthy of his gratitude? She could not take it anymore and felt like returning to the car to escape the situation. Mr. Yale withdrew his hand in embarrassment. Even he, who was usually slick and smooth, could not find the right words to say at this time. Zaden tried to smooth things over by saying, "I'm sorry, she was one of the victims too, so..." "I understand," Mr. Yale said with a nod. "We understand and more than anything else, we thank you, Mr. Andrew. You've worked hard today. We won't take up any more of your time. You should go back early and rest. We will definitely drop by next time to properly thank you." Zaden nodded and turned to get in the car. Dulcie was all worn out from crying too long, so she was curled up in her seat and fast asleep. Zaden asked softly, "What on earth happened before I arrived?" Grace suddenly turned teary-eyed. The tear
