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
It was time to go home for students. However, for adults, the night was still young. There were people everywhere on the streets and in cinemas. It was the first time Candy was out late. Plus, she was not with Kevin and the others. She was excited. "Let's watch the movie you like today!" Candy took the initiative to say. The two of them bought popcorn and coke, then walked into the theatre with their hands entwined. Candy was excited all night until Cleveland sent her home. She was reluctant to part with him. However, when she remembered that her parents were in this house, Candy didn't dare to make trouble at all. "Thank you for sending me back." Candy hugged Cleveland and said, "Happy birthday." The two stood at the door of the house, staring at each other foolishly. None of them took the first step to separate from each other. Candy was so nervous. She was afraid that the door would open at this moment. Candy couldn't stand this anymor
"That's enough. Don't describe it in such a... detailed way," Tianna said sweetly. The two of them were laughing while talking about private affairs. Suddenly, Candy's phone on the bedside rang. She picked it up immediately and found it was a text from Cleveland. There were only two brief words, "Good night." Candy replied to him with a "good night" and giggled with her mobile in her arms. "Don't laugh like that. I'm going to get goosebumps," Tianna complained. "Haha... You and Kevin disgusted me so many times. It's time for me to get revenge, right?" Candy said happily. "Yes, yes, yes. Then, you'd better listen to Cleveland's words. Have a good night." When the excitement passed, exhaustion slowly swept over. Tianna and Candy fell asleep after chatting for a while. The next day, Kevin found Candy coming out from Tianna's. He complained helplessly, "Why did you sleep in her room again?" "It's none of your business! You're jealous of
"Just a chat?" Tianna teased. "Of course it's not that simple. He secretly kissed me just now, just on my cheek." Candy said proudly. It was not easy to show off in front of Tianna, so she wouldn't miss it! When Tianna heard Candy's words, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. All the students gathered together to play games or do outdoor activities. After dinner, the sky gradually darkened. Although there seemed to be no difference on the surface, people could feel that something had changed from earlier. Every student with different kinds of thoughts was excited about the arrangement of the summer camp activities. Tianna was setting up the sleeping bag and the small blanket in the tent. Seeing Candy sitting motionless next to her, she urged, "Candy, stop playing with your phone. Come and unpack your things." Candy was texting Cleveland, asking what was the current situation and how they planned to do the exchange later. "Why hasn't my brot
Tianna struggled to get away, but then she remembered what she had just said. There were tents everywhere. If she made too much noise, she would attract others' attention. By then, they would know that she was with Kevin... They would think of the unthinkable. Kevin had known this, which was why he dared to act rogue. That was an uneasy night. Tianna was bullied by Kevin. Although she had kept her bottom line all the time, she was almost eaten up by Kevin. Kevin took a lot of advantages. On the other side, Cleveland and Candy were different. Cleveland was a modest gentleman and a kind-hearted man. Plus, he and Candy hadn't dated for a long time, he wouldn't behave like a rascal as Kevin did. The two of them laid in the same tent and chatted with each other in a low voice. Candy was a little excited and kept talking. "Tell me, what do you think Kevin and Tianna are doing now?" Cleveland suddenly asked. Candy was dumbfounded. Although she a
Since they started dating, Kevin had become accustomed to finishing Tianna's food for her. He would finish everything she couldn't eat. Fortunately, the Japanese food was delicate and the calories weren't high. Otherwise, he would have to work out tonight. After eating the Japanese food, the two of them held hands and walked around the hotel. This helped to digest the food, as well as satisfy Tianna's curiosity. She couldn't stop praising this hotel. The scenery was vividly beautiful. Tianna felt like she was immersed in Japan. She didn't complain about being tired after walking for a long time. "Tianna, Kevin, you are still walking around!" On the way, they met their classmate. He greeted them warmly. Tianna was holding hands with Kevin. When she met someone she knew, she was a little embarrassed and wanted to let go of Kevin's hand. However, Kevin held her tightly and did not give her a chance to let go. "Well, we've just finished eating. We're just hang
Kevin opened his eyes. He reached out and prodded at the space beside him, but no one was there. "Tianna?" Kevin rubbed his eyes as he walked out of the bedroom. He saw Tianna working around in the kitchen. He suddenly sobered up. Wasn't this the picture he dreamed of? Still, he had wished for Tianna to stay in bed long enough for her to be the first thing he sees every morning. "You're making breakfast already?" Kevin asked in his cute and slightly hoarse morning voice. Tianna looked at his attractively messy hair and smiled, "Breakfast is almost ready, it'll be done after you've finished preparing yourself." "Sure." While brushing his teeth, Kevin started eyeing himself in the mirror, secretly thanking himself for not waking up ugly. "Wow that's a lot of food." Kevin said after he was done washing up. He looked at the food on the table and was reminded that Tianna was the perfect one. Thankfully, she's his. "No," Tianna said as she ges
"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
