Yvonne considered it for a moment. No matter what, it was a children's party today. Stephen had brought Britney with him too. He probably wouldn't play any tricks in front of the kids. On the other hand, if she didn't allow him to enter, it would only show that she had a guilty conscience. Moreover, the children might also be affected.After thinking it through, Yvonne finally made up her mind. "Let them in. Watch over Elvin with Lloyd.""Okay."Soon, Curtis led Stephen and Britney into the house.It wasn't until Britney had joined the fun with the other kids that Curtis warned coldly, "Today is all about the children. Please don't cause any trouble, Mr. Anderson." Stephen spared him a glance before he raised his eyes and looked at Yvonne, who was standing in the distance. Yvonne met his gaze, but she looked away and walked into the living room. It was obvious that he wasn't welcome here. Stephen's expression darkened. After a moment of hesitation, he strode over.Yvonne was i

When all the guests had left, Yvonne took a piece of cake to Elvin's room and put it on his study table. She thought for a while before apologizing to him in a soft voice. "El, I'm sorry that I didn't let you join the birthday party tonight ...""No worries. I don't like to play with them either." Elvin picked up the fork and ate two mouthfuls of the cake. "Mommy, do I have to avoid him from now onward?" he asked all of a sudden."El, he isn't a good man. I'm afraid that he'll hurt you, so—""Okay," Elvin interrupted, letting out a yawn. "Mommy, I'm sleepy."Yvonne was stunned. "Alright. Rest early, then."After stepping out of his room, Yvonne lowered her eyes and stared at the remaining portion of the cake, lost in thought. She didn't know why she had a sense of foreboding; she was starting to regret bringing Elvin back to the country. Right then, Curtis walked over to her in a hurry and handed her a delicately packaged gift. "Have a look at this." His expression was solemn

Caleb's reply was straightforward. Noah thought that he could hit it off with him, so he was feeling extremely good. However, his mood was ruined the next second when he saw the message pop up on his phone. "Mr. Noah, I want to see you. Can you come over?" Katie wrote. Then she sent her location to him. Noah took a look at it and realized that it was a bar. After he'd received the news that the newly-appointed regional CEO of Rising Sun Group wasn't Katie but Amy, Noah had lost all interest in Katie. He didn't think that there was any need for him to waste his time on a useless woman. Hence, Noah ignored Katie's message. …The next night, Caleb showed up on time. Noah was extremely pumped up. He even offered to pour a glass of wine for Caleb. "I'm happy that you could make it tonight, Mr. Turner.""How can I not come when Mr. Noah is paying for the meal? But aren't you afraid of being criticized for meeting with me during this time?" Caleb smiled. "I wouldn't have looke

The next day, Katie woke up in the messy bed. When she recalled what had happened last night, she couldn't help but blush. Noah had left, leaving nothing but a pleasant smell in the room. Katie sat up, pulling the blanket with her. Seeing the stain of red on the sheets, she felt both scared and blissful at the same time. Although she'd lost the position of regional CEO, her relationship with Noah had progressed a step further. When they'd been immersed in the amorous moment yesterday, Noah had whispered "darling" in her ear over and over again, saying that he would be responsible for her. Didn't that mean that he was going to marry her? If she were to become Noah's wife, she'd be Mrs. Anderson! That's definitely much better than being a regional CEO!The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. She pulled the blanket over her head and sniffed Noah's scent. …For the next seven days, Katie didn't go to work. Since Amy couldn't reach her, she had no choice but

It wasn't until a while later that Noah finally continued walking forward. "Mr. Noah, is there someone you know in that private room?" asked his assistant curiously."Yes."If it hadn't been for the waiter who'd taken drinks to that room, Noah wouldn't have caught sight of Yvonne's side profile when the door had opened. It had never occurred to him that he'd run into Yvonne having a meal with Amy when he came out for a social gathering. "Ms. Miller?" Noah repeated in a low voice, his lips curling into a smile. "This is interesting," he thought. If Katie found out about this, she'd probably be furious. …The next day, Amy went to work as usual. Her assistant came to her in a hurry and reported, "Ms. Lawrence, Ms. Jones has come to work."Looking at how nervous her assistant was, she asked, "Isn't that a good thing? What's with your expression?""It's indeed a good thing, but ..." Her assistant scratched her head. "Something seems to be off with her. You'll know it once you

After the birthday party, Elvin was transferred to SunnyLight Kindergarten, which was around six miles away from his previous school.SunnyLight Kindergarten was naturally not as good, but it was the best kindergarten that Yvonne could find within the designated range. Elvin had gotten used to getting up half an hour earlier for school after doing so for several consecutive days. However, it wasn't the same for Lloyd. He literally went out while yawning every morning. Today, the weather was gloomy. Lloyd had slept in. When he woke up, he didn't even have time for breakfast and immediately took Elvin to school. While he was driving, he yawned so much that even his eyes watered."Curtis must have done this on purpose. Who in the world would go out for missions at this hour?" he muttered in his heart. Upon dropping Elvin off at the kindergarten, he habitually said, "Mr. Elvin, be obedient at school today. If you need anything, you can look for me with your watch. I'll be staying

Jax's music video was about the lives of a scientist and a female robot on an isolated island. Most of the scenes would be given to Yvonne, and she needed to express the changes in her emotions, from being indifferent to having an emotional breakdown. There were no lines for the female lead in the video, and the emotional changes needed were going to test how professional the actress could be. Jax cared a lot about looks. He not only wanted a beautiful female lead but also one who was capable. That's why they hadn't been able to find someone suitable in the entire entertainment circle. On the other hand, Lukas had always been inclined toward Ariel, who'd performed the best during the screen test. In fact, Lukas had been waiting for Jax to give in. When that happened, he planned to introduce Ariel to him, and things would then be settled.However, Jax had brought Yvonne with him today. After Yvonne had gone for makeup, Lukas walked over to Jax and said, "Are you serious about thi

Yvonne turned around and asked, "Yes?""Simone had one music video that went viral previously. Was the masked female fighter in red you?"Hearing that, Jax came forward and rested his hand on Lukas' shoulder. "You noticed it? As expected of my director!"Lukas smiled. "If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have said something like that to her just now. Jax, you deliberately made a fool out of me.""How is that making a fool out of you? It was a surprise I'd prepared." Jax raised his brows. "Moreover, my taste has always been good. You're the one who didn't believe me.""Yes, you're right. I've failed to see how amazing Ms. Miller could be." Then Lukas moved his eyes to Yvonne and bobbed his head slightly as a sign of apology. "Ms. Miller, I apologize for what I said in the morning. I shouldn't have doubted your abilities as soon as we met.""It's okay, I accept your apology." Yvonne turned to look at Jax and said, "I'm leaving now. Let me know if you need anything else.""Alrig

Stephen was sitting opposite Elvin in the VIP room of the paternity testing center.Julian put the snacks he'd bought in front of Elvin. However, the little boy didn't even spare them a glance and kept his eyes fixed on Stephen expressionlessly.Standing aside, Julian watched them staring at each other and felt a little unreal. The more he looked at them, the more he thought that Elvin was the mini version of Stephen. He didn't know that even an imperial temperament could be inherited. If it had been any other child, they definitely would have cried all the way after being caught by a group of strangers. However, Elvin was different. He entered the car on his own and said, "I'll go with you. Don't hurt Lloyd." Not only did he not panic, but he also wanted to protect someone who was more than 20 years older than him. Julian couldn't help but steal a peek at Stephen, wondering if he'd been as smart and sensible as Elvin when he was a child. Right then, a series of hurried foots

When Stephen arrived, gloominess and sadness filled the atmosphere in the whole mansion. Ariel's face was covered with tears. She hurriedly went over to him and said, "Stephen, go and see Grandma quickly. She ..." It was Ariel who'd called him earlier. At that time, the doctor had been performing CPR on Elizabeth. However, there was nothing else that the doctor could do. The family had been told to prepare for the funeral arrangements. The room was filled with Andersons.Elizabeth was lying on the bed with her dying breath, fixing her eyes on the ceiling. When Stephen walked closer, Philip silently moved to the back to make room for him. Elizabeth couldn't say anything. She struggled to flit her eyes from Stephen to Ariel. Stephen could guess what she meant by that. She was telling him to make his promise in front of her before she went the way of all flesh. However, Stephen had only just found out about the existence of his son. He couldn't help but hesitate. How could he
