"Mom. Don't I have to go to kindergarten today?" Lucas obediently sat down next to Nina and asked sadly.

“I’m sorry, Lucas. Aaron is sick. I want to stay here to look after him. You don’t have to go to kindergarten today.”

Lucas nodded and ran to Aaron’s bed.

“Aaron, wake up quickly.” He gently pulled Aaron’s little hand and said childishly.

“Mom, mom….” In his sleep, Aaron kept calling his mother.

“Mom, who is Aaron calling? I don’t know if she’s here or where.” Lucas looked at Nina with a pitiful expression.

“Good boy, Aaron, I’m here.” Nina kissed Aaron’s hand gently to comfort him. In his dream, he seemed to hear Nina holding his hand tightly, stopping his screams.

Leonard stood at the door of the ward and couldn’t help but feel touched.

“Mom, why are you Aaron’s mother?” Lucas asked.

“Because Aaron is sick.” Nina wiped Aaron’s sweaty forehead and kissed him. “I’m here, Aaron, don’t be afraid.” Leonard bowed his head and knocked on the door. Nina blushed slightly when she saw Leon

    “What kind of parents are you two? Too much; it’s already noisy at home, and you even quarrel in the hospital, no wonder you can’t even hold the baby.” The nurse came in just in time, just in time to meet Nina. She was blocked by her at the door for a while, scolding Nina, unable to hold back her tears. It was so humiliating.“You’re irresponsible as a father.” The nurse pushed Leonard away and picked up Aaron herself, “You go out for a bit; the baby is agitated, he needs to calm down.”Leonard was so stunned that he thought of kicking Nina out, but by then, she had already gotten into a taxi.“What a strange woman, obviously doing something, but still afraid of what others will say? Boring.”Aaron was in the ward, crying miserably. Leonard was outside, anxious as if he were an ant on a hot pan. Was this hospital okay? How could they not handle a child?“Why are you still standing here? I want you to go out because I want you to go find the child’s mother. In this situation, the child

    What should we do then? Hatice was so anxious that she looked like an ant on a hot pan. It seemed that Nina's situation was problematic. If it was before, she could still use her family's power, but now, she didn't want to alarm the people in her family. At this moment, Leonard called. “ What did you just say?” He hung up the phone and suddenly felt a little uneasy. Didn’t that woman leave the hospital at noon? How could she not be found?“Do you have a problem with your ears or hearing? Nina didn’t come to pick up Lucas tonight, she’s nowhere to be found.” Hatice shouted at the phone.“What?” Leonard realized the seriousness of the matter. “You arrange for Lucas first. I’ll send my subordinates to find her right away.”“Secretary Eric, help me call the flower shop downstairs. I want to find Miss Nina to talk.”Secretary Eric immediately burst out laughing when he heard that the general manager wanted to find someone to deliver flowers to the flower shop. Today’s tabloids just said t

    “Get out of the car.” He pointed the gun at the man in the car. The man calmly lit a cigarette and said, “Did you take that woman away?”Hearing his question, Henry understood that this person and the group of people inside were the same group. He panicked and wanted to pull the trigger, but his trick was immediately broken by the other person, who broke his arm. He was in so much pain that he couldn’t help but groan. The man opened the car door and kicked him three meters away.“Leonard, why is it you?” Henry looked at him as if he saw a ghost demanding his life, his face full of fear. “It’s me. it’s just that we won’t have the chance to meet again in the future, so you have to take a closer look.” Leonard used his sharp foot to stab Henry’s heart on the ground. If this kind of person just spoke without any evidence and handed it over to the police, the police wouldn’t be able to convict him. Lock him up for a few days and then let him go out to continue to harm others; he might as

    "Why did Adrian tell you? Don't you remember anything?" Leonard found that Nina said that every event mentioned Adrian, as if she was saying that everything in her life was inseparable from Adrian. "It's because I don't remember everything that year." Leonard lost focus, and the car slid into the bushes on the side of the road. “What's wrong?" Nina was scared.Leonard suddenly stopped the car. He didn't know what was wrong there, but the car wouldn't start anymore.He got out of the car to check but didn't find any problem, but he couldn't start the car, so he looked at the car and kicked it hard, then angrily turned back to the car."It's all your fault, We have to sleep in this deserted place tonight." Leonard looked at Nina through the rearview mirror and saw her hiding in his clothes like a scared little rabbit. It seemed that this woman didn't even know that she was only wearing that shirt."I'm sorry." Nina bowed her head. Thinking about today's experience, she was still sca

    "Miss, if you don't stop..." Nina suddenly seemed to realize something and stopped. "Are you lying to me?" Her gentle voice made the listener's mood extremely good. Leonard seemed to be ordered by the devil to put his hand on her neck and touch that soft hair a little.The atmosphere suddenly became unusually awkward. Nina, in his arms, had always tried to keep quiet, not daring to make a move.Leonard breathed a sigh of relief and turned on the music."Are you have something unhappy?" Nina asked softly."I... I have a lot of unhappy things, I don't know what you're talking about." Leonard mocked himself. He was ten years old, followed his grandfather and received all kinds of inexplicable training, then ten years later, he returned to his father but still received that training. He left the country at seventeen and was called back by his father to take over the chaotic situation at twenty-six. In recent years, he never had a private life that truly belonged to him. He married Tawny

    “Someone wants to touch you?” Tommy put down his coffee cup, his face full of fear. Who has the guts? The Roberts family here is a powerful family that covers the whole country. Hopefully, this is just the CEO's mistaken feeling. If someone thinks so, then the other party's background must be very formidable.“Recently, all the newspapers and media have been targeting me. Negative news is non-stop, but I can't find the source of these newspapers. This is the first time such a situation has happened, so I suspect that there are people from the underground world. This task is for you. Go investigate and see if there are any clues. When there are, we will wait for the rabbit to catch the turtle in the jar. On the contrary, I want to see who has the guts.” Leonard stroked his little finger, his face fierce.“Okay, I know, CEO,” Tommy said softly.---“Teacher, where is my mother?” Lucas cried so much that his eyes were red and swollen. “My mother doesn’t need me anymore?”“No. Lucas, some

    Hatice tried to calm down. She adjusted her thoughts a bit, looked at Nina, and slowly talked about Tawny.“Tawny is my best friend. Also, the noble young lady of the famous Matthews Industrial Group that year, although she is a rich young lady, Tawny always dresses very simply and has a gentle temperament, but that is also the reason why she was divorced by her husband. She is too gentle.” Hatice thought about this and felt strangely indignant.“How could that be?” Nina exclaimed.“That’s right. But there’s something more tragic. Tawny was kicked out of her husband’s house and then found out that her family had gone bankrupt overnight.” Hatice was a little worried that her best friend had had an accident, and when she needed help the most, she couldn’t be there.“So who’s her husband?” Nina asked.“He’s…” Before she could finish, Hatice’s phone suddenly rang loudly several times. “I’m sorry, I’ll take the call first.”“So it’s work…” Hatice finished speaking and hung up immediately.

    Esmeralda put her arms around her shoulders, her face cold. She originally wanted to take Lucas to the exchange, but suddenly, the child had a serious fever.Standing in front of her red Ferrari, she suddenly thought of someone—Adrian. But before she could think of where to go, a dark figure suddenly appeared in front of her. She was terrified and retreated, unable to avoid the opponent's pressure. The opponent's attack was a series of kicks. In the martial arts world, only Courtney used this attack, but it was said that she was currently a member of the Dragon Blade Gang."Courtney," Esmeralda shouted. The opponent flew up and kicked her away. Even Courtney appeared, it seemed that tomorrow there would be a melee."Esmeralda. What are you doing sneaking around our company in the middle of the night?" The person called Courtney said."The world is so big, can't I go to your company?" Esmeralda fixed her hair."Your White Tiger Gang has always been petty thieves. Tomorrow is my young m

    "I don't know, Nina, do you want to tell me?" Leonard asked with a smile.Nina shook her head in frustration, facing happiness, she suddenly didn't dare to try.Seeing her hesitation, he asked: "Are you afraid?"Nina knew she was afraid of heights, but she no longer had this bad habit after saving Lucas."Or let's go car driving." Her weakness defeated her."Okay, I agree to whatever you want today."At that moment, Leonard's phone rang. He went to another place and said to his assistant in a low voice: "Those people will take advantage of these days to attack, we will arrange everything well and wait for them to take the bait."Her heart was heavy, no matter how much love, there was no way to dispel the pain and anxiety in her heart. Leonard saw through her strangeness."Nina, are you hiding something from me?""No, I'm just a little tired. There's still a lot of work to do tomorrow, let's go home early and rest a bit."Leonard looked at her seriously, then nodded silently.---In Em

    "Nina, I'm sorry." He apologized as soon as they spoke, "These past few days, I've been harassed by the media. But I'll do my best, no one can stop us. Tomorrow at the Day nine Hotel, we'll hold our engagement ceremony there. I'll send my subordinates to pick you up.""Day nine Hotel?" Nina slowly read these words in her mind, suddenly her thoughts became chaotic, she felt something flowing out of her nostrils, she reached out and it turned out to be fresh blood. Why did this name sound so familiar, where had she heard it? She muttered, almost fainting."Nina," Leonard shouted through the mobile phone."I'm fine, I'm a little tired, tomorrow..." She tried to maintain her last bit of consciousness.Nina persisted in saying that over the phone and immediately fainted.This time, the white world was different; there was a man's silhouette there, he was turning his head back…"Leonard." She was surprised to see that it was Leonard. Did they know each other before?Leonard coldly pushed he

    "I was the man in that story, and the woman was Tawny. At that time, he was young and didn't like her at all. When I learned that Matthews Group went bankrupt and my ex-girlfriend came back, I divorced her and kicked her out of the house, which is why she had an accident." Leonard took a deep breath. "I'm so sorry for her."Although Nina also thought that it might be so, when she heard him say it with his voice, she was still startled. No wonder Hatice hated Leonard so much. What he did at that time was reprehensible, but was he happy to be tormented by his conscience for five years? After all, the dead cannot be brought back to life.Nina hugged Leonard and gently stroked his hair."Nina, if you were Tawny, would you forgive me?" He said."Yes." She didn't think about it at all. "Everyone makes mistakes. It's good to know that you're wrong and be able to correct your mistakes. If I were Tawny, I would forgive you.""Thank you." Leonard looked at her affectionately, tears welling up i

    "Paige, wake up." Her father urged her earnestly, "What's the use of doing this?""I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear it. Go away." Paige calmly picked up a vase and threw it straight at the door. A moment later, she suddenly opened the door. "Dad." Paige's entire face was covered in tears. "Go beg Leonard, beg his father. Please." She begged."Paige. Wake up." Her father shook her hard. "He doesn't love you. This matter has been settled for five years, why are you still so stubborn? Listen to me, daughter, let go.""I don't want to. He said that after divorcing Tawny, he would marry me. I've waited for five years. Because of him, you went to France to study design. For him, I tried my best to change myself. How could I give up? I can't just admit defeat like that." She grabbed the door frame and slowly slid down. "Why did he lie to me?"Seeing her daughter's extremely sad appearance, her father felt heartbroken. He walked over and hugged her.---Nina looked in the mirror

    "Is Shanley the mastermind behind this?" Nina asked."Shanley? He wasn't the mastermind, but he was the one who tried his best to deal with the Roberts family because the Roberts family were his enemies."Nina wanted to ask more, but Esmeralda ordered the guests to leave. "You should quickly go back. Remember that tonight's matter absolutely must not be known to Leonard, otherwise you and your son will die miserably."Nina glared at her fiercely and went out.—After a day of being unconscious, Hatice finally woke up. In her daze, she felt that her mouth and tongue were unusually dry.“Thirsty….” She found that wanting to say something was much harder than thinking. She spoke softly, but the wound on her abdomen was aching. Emery, who had been taking care of her, heard her words and immediately walked over.“Are you awake?” Under the dim light, Emery’s entire body seemed to be surrounded by a layer of halo, but in Hatice’s mind, his image suddenly became unusually fierce.“Don’t come

    “Dad.” Leonard just entered the door, his son immediately ran out to greet him. “Son.” As soon as he saw the little treasure, all of Leonard’s worries immediately disappeared. “Dad, when will you marry my mom, so she can come live with me?” Aaron hugged his father and asked. Leonard kissed his son’s cheek, “Soon. When the time comes, you have to be good, don’t make your mom angry.” “I won’t make Mom angry.” Aaron raised his head and said, “Dad, hurry up and marry my mom, I’m worried, she’ll leave.” “Go? Where?” “I don’t know either, anyway, you have to bring her back quickly, the sooner the better.” Aaron said seriously. Leonard put Aaron down, turned on the TV, “The gunfight has been paused for the past few days because the leader of the Dragon Blade Gang, Kenneth Roberts, has been arrested.” Leonard was shocked to learn that his father was arrested. Or was it because of personal matters? Recently, the news about the Dragon Blade Gang has been increasing.He carried Aaron int

    Meanwhile."Auntie, didn't you say you wanted to take me to see Uncle Adrian?" Lucas asked."Uncle Adrian isn't here right now, you can only play with me." Esmeralda sighed. The woman still refused to take action to get Plan A, so she could only resort to this last resort."But I want to go home, my mother will come to find me," Lucas replied."I think you will have to stay here for a while until your mother gives us Plan A." Esmeralda caressed Lucas's small face. "Don't worry, you have a place in Adrian's life, so I won't hurt you. But the prerequisite is that you don't cry."How could Lucas, who was as smart as he was, not understand? He suddenly became scared, afraid that he would never see his mother again."It will be soon," Esmeralda said, handing him a carton of fresh milk.—“Hey, someone just saw Leonard bring Nina to the company.”“This girl is amazing, she has already seduced our boss in such a short time.”“Haven’t you guys found any clues from the charity party last time?

    Paige stuttered, unable to explain the reason.“Paige, thank you for telling me that Tawny is not dead, so I can rest assured. I will take her to the best hospital, you don't need to worry about the rest. That way, I can live peacefully with Nina.” Leonard looked at Paige and said coldly.Paige was completely confused, she didn't expect Leonard to say that. She originally thought that he was with Nina only because he felt sorry for Tawny, but now?“Do you have anything else?” Leonard asked Paige.“Aren't you with Nina because of Tawny?” She tried to probe.“After so many years, you still don't understand me, you always judge me based on your emotions. Paige, wake up.” Leonard walked out of the hospital room.“Leonard. Leonard.” Paige chased after him.“That’s right, I’m engaged to Nina. I hope you can come to bless us.” Leonard paused.“What?” Paige stood still, the thing in her hand fell to the ground, “Are you lying to me?” Hot tears rolled down her cheeks, awakening Paige’s emotion
