Yuna had to admit that Spencer was really famous. While working at the research center, she had heard the hot news of Spencer having two illegitimate children at least five times. Then, she heard something else.“Spencer has just gotten the deal to be the ambassador for TN Group’s new product not too long ago. Do you think that would be affected?”“Based on how efficient, strict, and merciless Mr. Jenkins is, I think he would most likely lose the deal.”Yuna could not help but worry about Spencer when she heard what they said. After all, it was due to her children that Spencer found himself entangled in such a situation.Just when she was lost in her thoughts, her phone rang.When she saw that it was Cedric calling, she immediately got out of the research center to answer the call.Donovan was silently observing every move she made. It seemed like he was plotting something again.“Cedric.”“Surra, I am here at Jefton State. I’m staying at a hotel. When will you be done with
Cedric still had a long face. Yuna’s attempt to persuade him did not placate him. Instead, he said, “The children are not sensible, but he is an adult. Should he also fool along with them? Spencer, you should be thankful that things are still manageable now. Otherwise—”Before he finished his sentence, Spencer hugged his arm and said with great sadness. “Cedric, I know I was wrong. I really do.”Cedric was speechless.Yuna pursed her lips and smiled.Spencer continued acting like a spoiled child. “I’m really sorry. I won’t do it again. I was too careless this time because I love the children very much.”Cedric scrunched his nose and shook him off. “Don’t make me feel disgusted.”Seeing that, Yuna took the chance and said, “Alright. Cedric has forgiven you.”Spencer immediately smiled and sat on the chair properly.Cedric took a sip of his coffee, then asked sullenly, “How is your manager planning to deal with this?”Spencer quickly sat up straight and answered obediently, “It’
Yuna was reminded about her promise to visit Grandpa Jenkins, though she hadn’t foreseen Yvan taking it upon himself to remind her about this personally.“What? Are you going to stand there and lecture me about my interactions with different men? Besides, how did you even find out that I had met another man?” she scolded.Yvan glared at her as he replied, “I have no interest in your affairs. Get in.”She felt uneasy as she stared at his back. She asked herself, “Did he spot Spencer entering the MPV?”While en route, Yuna caught sight of an old cake store and promptly requested, “Michael, could you please pull over?”Yvan cocked a brow. “What are you doing?”“This is one of Grandpa Jenkins’ favorite bakeries. Do you really expect me to visit an elder empty-handed?” she replied as she exited the car.He scrutinized the bakery while she stood outside the car. A distant look filled his eyes as he inquired, “Grandpa is fond of this old bakery?”Michael shook his head. He wasn’t sure
Arthur’s eyes instantly lit up with delight when he heard this. “That’s great! Yvan has a place nearby, Yuna, so think of it as doing me a favor and make some gnocchi for me, please?”Yuna was stunned, but she couldn’t bear to watch the old man go hungry when she saw the pitiful look on his face. Thus, she had no choice but to compromise and head to Yvan’s place to cook.Arthur had a pleased look on his face as he ate the cakes and watched the pair. He pointed at Benson and praised him. “Clever man.”“Of course. How could I possibly not know what you’re thinking when I’ve served you for so many years?” Benson replied after chuckling.Arthur might be happy that he had created an opportunity for them to be alone, but he was still vexed. “What is that boy thinking? There’s no guarantee that he’ll be able to remarry.” His vexation grew when he thought about Daisy and how Yuna would leave the country at any moment.“No obstacle could stand in their way if they’re truly fated to be, so
“It’s fine,” Yvan replied indifferently.Yuna scoffed but couldn’t be bothered to argue with him. After all, she hadn’t made it specifically for him, and if it weren’t for Grandpa Jenkins, she wouldn’t have even offered him a single bite. She stood up and packed the remaining gnocchi. The man observed her with a raised eyebrow and a slight smile, but it was fleeting.They returned once more to the hospital and were about to enter the elevator when they heard Daisy’s voice. “Yvan?”Yuna stood beside him, clutching the container of gnocchi. The good-looking pair looked like a married couple who had come to visit someone at the hospital.Daisy was intensely irked by the sight of this. Seeing red, she walked up to Yvan. “Didn’t you say you were taking care of something, Yvan? Why are you with Yuna?”Upon seeing her hurt expression, Yuna raised the container in her hand and said gently, “Please don’t misunderstand, Ms. Bailey. Grandpa Jenkins suddenly wanted to eat my cooking, so Mr. J
“I could smell it from outside, Yuna. I didn’t think you were such a good cook. No wonder Grandpa Jenkins missed your cooking. Yvan and I can rest easy now that you’re here to resolve his eating issue.” Daisy praised the moment she walked in. It was clear that she was implying Yuna was just a cook.“What do you take Yuna for? A hired chef?” Arthur’s tone was cold.“Don’t get me wrong, Grandpa Jenkins, that wasn’t what I meant,” Daisy hurriedly explained.“Good, because if we were to talk about rank, Yuna is more important to me than you,” Arthur retorted arrogantly.Yuna was stunned as she didn’t expect Grandpa Jenkins to defend her, whereas Daisy had paled upon hearing his words.“Grandpa,” Yvan started to say to save Daisy from embarrassment.However, Arthur wasn’t going to give him the chance. “Don’t interrupt my meal.”Yvan had no choice but to relent, seeing as his grandfather had a good appetite. Daisy could only bite her tongue and glare hatefully at Yuna.The calm Yuna,
Yuna merely smiled at Daisy's calling dibs on Yvan. She raised a brow and said, "Hmm, then you must properly cherish your man, Ms. Bailey. Don't let him go that easily."Upon that, the doors to the elevator opened, and Yuna strode away, clicking her heels.Daisy wrestled with the impulse to follow her, but with determination etched on her face, she begrudgingly decided to head back. Half an hour later, Yuna returned home. Nathaniel was playing with his favorite tablet on the sofa while Natalie was playing house with Sherry in the play area.Nathaniel looked up. "Mommy, you're back."Natalie placed her toys down and ran over. "Mommy."Yuna sat down on the sofa, hugging Natalie while checking up on Nathaniel. Nathaniel looked apologetic. He said, "Mommy, I'm sorry. Please don't blame Aunty Sherry. I was the one who wanted to try it out. I only took a small bite before she realized and quickly fed me allergy meds. I'm fine now.""There is no next time. This is Aunty Sherry's first
As Yuna returned to the research lab, she immediately immersed herself in her work, determined and focused. Donovan, harboring resentment, saw this as a golden chance and decided to approach her."Yuna, Mr. Jenkins came to look for you again today. It's too bad you're not here. He was furious as he felt that you were neglecting your duties. Why are you still in a good mood sitting here working?" Donovan mocked. "Although we're work partners, Mr. Jenkins is the one paying us. If he isn't happy with us, will he still support our research?"Rose said curtly, "Deputy Fang, you're exaggerating. Mr. Jenkins doesn't think that way.""You're just an assistant. How dare you talk to me in this way? Do you believe that I can kick you out of this team?"Yuna stood up and approached Donovan, blocking his view from Rose. She said coldly, "If you can kick her out, does that mean I can do the same to you too?"Donovan was a little taken aback, not expecting Yuna to say such a thing to him."Yuna
