“What do you want to do?” After being chased for a while, the police finally spotted the sports car behind them, so they pulled the police car to the side of the road and stopped.
“I’m sorry, officer,” Nina said incoherently.
Adrian pulled Nina behind him. “I’m sorry, officer, that’s how it is.”
Adrian explained everything to the police. Despite being criticized by the police, he still brought Lucas back.
“What kind of parents are you to not pay attention to the child.”
“I’m sorry for bothering you.” Nina blushed and bowed her head.
To avoid traffic jams, the police asked Adrian to drive away immediately.
“Lucas, you’re too much. Why are you running around alone? Do you know how worried your uncle Adrian and I are?” Nina began to scold Lucas.
“I’m sorry.” Lucas silently bowed his head. “Lucas won’t do it again. Mom, you don’t have to be angry, okay? And Uncle Adrian too.”
“It’s okay, Lucas. It’s best if you don’t do it again. You’re still young. It’s dangerous to go around alone and get lost.”
“Uncle, do you know about that super precious toy? It’s an impressive toy.” Lucas’s eyes lit up.
“Then let’s go buy it now.” Adrian turned the car around and headed to Roberts Group, the exclusive item sold there.
“I’m sorry, sir. This toy hasn’t been officially released yet.” The salesgirl said shyly.
“Didn’t the TV commercial say that a few sets have been released? I can buy it for any amount, I want it now.” Adrian smiled and said firmly. For this exception, the female staff could only call the company. Because this toy set was personally in charge of Leonard from the design to the start of construction, the call was quickly transferred to him.
“Whose voice is that loud?” Leonard asked with a cold laugh.
“General Manager, we still don't know the other party's background. I'm worried that they're here to probe us. General Manager, what should we do now?"
"Not for sale." Leonard hung up.
"Sorry, sir, our manager said that this toy set is temporarily not for sale. Our general manager only has one set right now."
"What? Roberts Group, right? Then I'll go directly to your general manager." Adrian wanted to tell Nina that he was going out but was pulled back by Nina.
"Adrian, what are you doing? It's okay if you can't buy it, don't make things difficult for others."
"Nina, I just received a notice from the head office that I'll be temporarily taking a leave of absence. I have to report back to the head office tomorrow, so we have to return to Canada immediately." Adrian didn't dare to look Nina in the eye and said.
"What? We've only been here a few days and you already want to go back. Adrian, can you stay? I found out that I like this place like I've lived here for a long time. Lucas and I will stay here and wait for you to come back, okay?"
"No way." Adrian looked panicked as he hugged Lucas and pulled Nina out.
"Uncle, you don't have to drag my mother like that, she will get hurt." Lucas protested.
"Nina, you are my fiancee now. Of course, you will follow me."
"I've always listened to you, now I want to be my boss for once. I like this place and want to stay. Adrian, can't you give in to me?" Nina pleaded.
Adrian's face was serious for a long time before he asked deeply: "Nina, you don't want to come back with me?"
"Adrian…."
"Okay, I respect your choice. I agree with you, I will quickly handle the matter there and come back right away. If you need anything, call me immediately. Nina, I absolutely won't force you to do anything." Adrian finally agreed with Nina, letting her and Lucas stay in this country.

"Hey, Assistant Harry, please take care of the sales department for me." Leonard was worried that something was wrong, so he sent his subordinates there to see what was going on.
"General Manager, the sales department said they left two minutes ago. Oh right, General Manager, there's one more thing. Today, the members of Gelex Group received a notice from the headquarters that they will be returning, and our project will be put on hold for later."
“What? Put it aside? They are dreaming. Don't stop, I will publicly call for investment." Leonard had just finished speaking when his cell phone rang again. When he saw that it was Paige, he immediately hung up. He had loved Paige before, but after divorcing Tawny, he had ignored her. But she had not given up on him in the past five years. Not long after, his cell phone rang again, this time with a text message. "Leonard, I have been wanting to go back to my country for the past few years. How are you? I miss you so much, your birthday is in a few days, and I wish you a happy birthday in advance."
Leonard glanced at the message and immediately deleted it. This woman had been trying to keep in touch with him. Speaking of his divorce from his wife, Leonard suddenly thought of the girl with black-rimmed glasses, Tawny. Her death had made Leonard live in regret and self-reproach for the past five years, without even having the chance to make amends with her.

"Lucas, don't you want to go to school anymore?" After Adrian left, Nina suddenly felt relieved, she felt like she was starting a new life. A life that truly belonged to her.
"Mom, can I not go to kindergarten? There's nothing to play there. I want to stay with Mom." This morning, Lucas suddenly acted spoiled and refused to go to kindergarten.
"No, Lucas, you have to listen. I want to find a job today." Nina smiled and stroked Lucas's little head.
“Okay, you go find a job. I’m going to school.” Lucas reluctantly put on his clothes.
After sending Lucas to kindergarten, Nina immediately started looking for a suitable job everywhere, but as soon as she heard that she had a child, people didn’t want to hire her.
“The flower shop across the street is currently looking for a flower delivery person. You can try.”
Nina sadly bowed her head and walked out of the shop, just as she was about to give up, a girl kindly told her the news.
“Really? Thank you.” Nina hurriedly ran to the flower shop, just as the other person said, the shop was currently short of flower delivery people.
“This job is very hard, can you do it?" The flower shop owner was really a kind person.
"It's okay. I like this job." Nina smiled like a blooming sunflower, making people feel full of sunshine.The shop owner nodded with satisfaction. "It can be done right now. This bouquet of forget-me-nots is for Roberts Group, remember to sign for it carefully." Nina took the bouquet and walked towards Roberts Group."Excuse me, do you know this person?" Nina pulled the guard to point at her notebook and asked."Leonard Roberts. This is our general manager." The guard widened his eyes, finding it hard to believe that there was someone who didn't know the CEO of Roberts Group. The guard conveniently took out a magazine cover, on which was a picture of Leonard, a handsome face that made everyone admire.Nina let out a soft cry, suddenly feeling a little scared. How could the first day of work be so hard? But no matter what, she couldn't give up halfway.Nina held the large bouquet and walked into the first-floor area."Ma'am, please wait a moment. Who are you looking for?" She was about
“Are you awake?” The gentle and soft voice sounded like a blessing from heaven. Nina opened her eyes and saw a strange young man sitting in front of her hospital bed.“I…. where is this?”“This is the hospital. I almost bumped into you just now, so the CEO ordered me to take you to the hospital. Moreover, the CEO said that you are not allowed to come to the company to send flowers anymore.” The man’s words filled Nina’s stomach with resentment.“Nina, you are really good. You can make Leonard sign the receipt.” The flower shop owner's eyes lit up with admiration. Although Nina had gotten Leonard's signature, she also encountered many difficulties.“Do you know why I still can't find a flower delivery person? Because most of my bills are from Roberts Group and Leonard, as you can see..." The salesman said softly. After Nina heard that, she felt scared all day yesterday. If that unexpected event hadn't happened, she would have returned home in a mess. Why is that CEO so arrogant?"Nina
"Nina. What's wrong with you?" The flower shop owner saw Nina limping, and he hurriedly ran over to help her."I'm sorry, boss. I'm a little uncomfortable and want to go home first."Although he didn't know what happened, seeing the tears on Nina's face, he didn't ask much. Turning back, he handed her a bouquet of sunflowers: "Cheer you up a bit.""If it's work, thank you, I'm fine." Nina laughed loudly. She took this bouquet of sunflowers and walked out onto the street.The weather was very good, the temperature was moderate, and the bad mood from before was quickly washed away by this warm air. Putting on the phone's earphones, there was harmonica music, it was her favorite sound. If it was before, when she encountered such a thing, her first reaction would be to call Adrian to complain. But now she wouldn't do that anymore because she didn't want to live off Adrian, she wanted to be able to build her world. So when Adrian wanted to find a maid, she didn't need a maid.Nina found a
On the second day, as soon as dawn broke, she completed the discharge procedures. Nina planned to take Lucas to kindergarten. Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped out of the hospital door, she met Leonard's assistant, who looked at Lucas as if he had seen his savior."I finally found this boy." After saying that, he quickly wanted to go forward and hug Lucas."Mom..." Lucas hid behind Nina."What are you going to do?" Nina asked cautiously."He is my savior. If I don't find him, I will be unemployed." The assistant's words were incoherent. "You are the mother of this child, right? Come with me.""Let go. I'll call the police." Nina picked up her wallet and desperately hit the man. This situation quickly caused panic among the people around and someone called the police.“Police, this person seems to have a mental problem, he wants to take my child away.” Nina hugged Lucas and hid behind the police.“Hey…” The assistant was currently defenseless, no matter how he explained, he couldn’t
Leonard wanted to ask more, but at this moment, Aaron had already escaped from his grasp and ran away.It turned out to be the nun from the orphanage.“Mr. Leonard, we are very grateful for what you have done for the orphanage. Aaron, come out quickly and thank him.” The nun pulled Aaron’s small arm, but he still refused to come out.“Madam, I want to ask about Aaron’s situation,” Leonard spoke his mind, the thought of adopting Aaron flashed through his mind, making him extremely excited. “Aaron, go out and play.” She pointed at Aaron, speaking nonstop.“Aaron entered the orphanage more than four years ago, a pitiful child abandoned in an ordinary hospital, doesn’t like to talk, has an introverted personality, and is a bit autistic.”“Can I adopt him?” Leonard suddenly exclaimed, his words shocking everyone present.“CEO, there’s no need to be like this. You’re the single CEO of the Roberts Group, and you adopted a child who doesn’t look very good? If the media finds out, they’ll writ
“Your parents aren’t coming?” Lucas, who had no one to play with, was happy to see Aaron sitting in the corner, thinking that he had found his friends. “My mom isn’t coming.”Aaron didn’t even bother to look back. Lucas was worried and thought to himself, “They’re so busy, why didn’t you say anything?” After a long while without hearing Aaron speak, Lucas finally couldn’t help but ask.“I don’t have parents,” Aaron said very unhappily.“How is that possible? My mom said that every child will have parents.” Lucas looked at Aaron seriously and said, “She said that we all have parents.” These two little angels, although their circumstances were different, were the same. Lucas didn’t know what their parents were, but he didn’t want to admit it or didn’t know at all that he didn’t have parents either.“You go.” Aaron finally couldn’t stand Lucas anymore. But Lucas didn’t care at all. “Oh, how did you get this toy?” Lucas glanced at Aaron’s hand, which was holding the toy he had always want
"Mom, I don't want to eat this flavor of biscuit. Can you change it to another flavor?"“Mommy, I want that flavor.” Lucas stood in the cart for a while, pointing at this and then wanting that.“Lucas, you’re still young. There are many things you can’t eat. Be careful; you won’t be tall when you grow up.” Nina warned her son. “Also, eating too much sugar will cause cavities. Black teeth are embarrassing.”Lucas pulled down his hat, jumped out of the cart, made a face at Nina, and ran quickly to the other stalls.“Miss, can I ask…” Leonard heard the conversation at the end of the stall and immediately ran over. He originally wanted to ask what a child of this age liked, but he didn’t expect to meet Nina.“Why you?” Before he could finish his sentence, Nina pushed the cart out.“Mommy. Why are you walking so fast?” He pulled Nina’s shirt.“Because I met a bastard.” Nina carried Lucas onto the cart and hurried to the checkout counter on the other side. Leonard didn’t want to let her go,
Three days later, New Star Kindergarten welcomed a new student, Aaron."Everyone, we have a new student today." The teacher led Aaron out to introduce him to everyone. Lucas, sitting below, recognized Aaron at a glance.How could it be him?Furthermore, the teacher also led Aaron to sit on the chair next to Lucas's chair. This was a challenge for Lucas. Of course, Aaron also recognized Lucas, but he didn't pay attention. The other couple looked at everyone, his eyes and his father's had different ways of doing things, but the results were miraculously the same, although no one put him in their eyes, let alone he was the loser."Ah, aren't you the boy from the orphanage?" Having arrived at the orphanage, everyone recognized Aaron, but in fact, everyone had no other intentions, but they unexpectedly angered Aaron.He raised his little arm, angrily picked up a toy, threw it all over the ground, and even pushed a child down. At this time, the teacher and the babysitter were not in the roo
“I have something to ask you for help.” Leonard’s voice was almost hoarse.“What’s the matter?” Paige asked.“Go change into some simple, comfortable clothes, and then come in here and pretend to be Aaron’s mother.” He originally wanted to find Hatice, but thinking about how familiar Aaron and she were, he might recognize her.Paige was a little startled. She was also surprised to hear that Leonard had adopted a child, but she didn’t expect him to treat this child so well. She glanced at the sleeping Aaron and was extremely surprised. This child looked like Leonard.Paige changed her clothes and waited attentively for Aaron to wake up.“Dad,” The little boy finally woke up and opened his eyes. “Is my mother coming?” In his small life, it seemed that there was only waiting left.“Here, your mother is here, she has been waiting for Aaron for a long time.” Leonard immediately pulled Paige in front of Aaron, at this time, after a night of running around, Nina had just arrived at the door
"Hatice." Emery's fingers gently caressed Hatice's delicate face, slowly reaching her lips. "Lying here, without thinking about anything, isn't it very comfortable?" He coldly smiled, forcefully covering her lips, taking away her breath.So, pitiful Hatice was like a fish thrown ashore, struggling to breathe, until she couldn't bear it anymore, Emery released the oxygen tank.He put on white gloves, and took out a syringe from his chest, "You absolutely can't blame me, on the road to revenge, I can't forgive any obstacles." He coldly wanted to stab the syringe into her hand, but at this moment Hatice struggled.Her face was pale, under the dim light, she looked unusually beautiful. Emery had never looked closely at this girl, but at this moment, he could smell her scent. Then his heart suddenly beat hard, his nerves froze, and in a flash, the thought of killing was replaced by pity, and also in this short time, the nurse entered the ward.Emery quickly took back the syringe as if noth
“Mr. Leonard." The doctor's voice was serious. "After checking, all the bone marrow of your company's employees is not suitable for Aaron."Leonard sighed, looking very tired. "Is there any news from the bone marrow bank?""Not yet."Leonard was silent for a while, then he went to his son's hospital room. He cautiously pushed the door open, but because he was sick, Aaron seemed especially sensitive, so he immediately asked in a low voice: "Who is it?""It's Dad." Leonard tried to smile."Dad, I want to go home." Aaron's dry lips moved. "Dad, hug me.""Wait until you get better, then we can go home." Leonard came to his side and gave him some water."Dad, I want to see Mom." Leonard didn't know how many times Aaron had said he wanted to see his mother, but Hong Kong still had no news about Nina."Okay, I have a good idea that can help you see your mother, but You have to cooperate." Leonard took out his cell phone and called the assistant. Five minutes later, the assistant brought a
Tsviliov Group, because of doubting Emery's way of doing things, Hatice wanted to meet him directly to clarify everything."Emery, what is your purpose in the end?" Hatice asked coldly."Miss, this is the company, not my office, is it okay for you to suddenly barge in like this?" Emery said coldly."Okay, let's go outside and talk."The two of them walked to the parking lot."Do you have any plans?" Hatice asked.“It’s up to you, what the Tsviliov family is plotting is none of my business, if you want to ask, ask your father, right?” Emery sneered, looking at Hatice with a smart but extremely stupid gaze.“Okay, you don’t need to say anything, I’ll tell Leonard everything.” After saying that, Hatice turned around to leave, but Emery suddenly blocked her way.“If you tell him now, you’ll kill your father. And do you think he’ll believe you?” Emery took a step closer, Hatice took a step back, and suddenly her foot slipped, she screamed and fell down the stairs.In the moment she fell, H
Leonard didn't say anything more, hugged Aaron tightly, and ran to the hospital."Dad, where's my mom?" Aaron lowered his eyes and asked sadly.Leonard was asked like this, and his heart suddenly felt empty, not knowing how to answer."Your mom is busy.""Dad, am I going to die?" His mouth was dry, and his voice was hoarse."Don't say that." Leonard loudly reprimanded his son. "I won't let you die.""Dad." Aaron's voice gradually became smaller. Even so, he could still feel his father's warm embrace. Finally, he was no longer an unwanted child. Halfway there, Aaron started to vomit, Leonard was so worried that he didn't care about anything, just stepped on the gas and drove."Aaron, calm down, we're almost at the hospital." He didn't know what was wrong with his son, but he always had a bad feeling in his heart."Dad, I'm not feeling well." Aaron lay down on his father's passenger seat, curling up.Finally arriving at the hospital, Leonard hugged his son tightly and ran straight to th
“Mr. Emery, you just took office and you want to spend so much money?” Hatice asked suspiciously.“The plan is written very clearly.”Hatice looked at the content of the plan, the plan said that he wanted to establish a social relations company, and then use this relationship to cooperate with Roberts Group’s projects.“Roberts Group probably won’t let us do that, if we want to compete then we should do it fairly, why are you making things difficult for yourself.” Hatice didn’t know what Emery was thinking. She knew that Roberts Group’s plan A involved many aspects, so if they cooperated it would be troublesome but the benefits would also be huge…“Do others have any opinions?” Hatice’s father didn’t pay attention to his daughter’s words."If you can bring benefits to the company, we definitely won't object, not to mention that Roberts Group's Plan A is a big fat piece of fat, it would be a waste if we don't participate." The others felt that this plan had a lot of potential, so they
"Mom, why do you want to leave Uncle Leonard?" Lucas suddenly stretched out his little hand, gently caressed his mother's face, and asked in a low voice.Nina smiled helplessly, and after a while said, "When you grow up, you will understand."Lucas obediently lay in Nina's arms without saying anything more, the night wind was still a bit cold, so he pressed his little body tightly into his mother's arms, and asked flatteringly, "Mom, being held by me, do you feel a little warmer?"Nina smiled happily, as if all her worries had disappeared. "Thank you, son, it's so warm."Leonard kept calling Nina but no one answered. He drove along the road around the hotel, out to the main road to look for her, but still couldn't find her and the child. He didn't understand, why Nina suddenly left like that, was it because his actions today were too sudden? Hong Kong is so big, where could she go?Furthermore, she was not used to living here yet, would something happen to her? To prevent any accident
There was no joy, but only dissatisfaction."How is it? Aren't you surprised?" The girl asked with a smile. Leonard snorted in disdain."Mr. Leonard, may I ask if this is the owner of the Cinderella shoes you want to announce?""Of course, it's this young lady, but Mr. Leonard hasn't married Miss Paige yet." Nefertari pulled Paige with one hand, and with the other hand pulled Leonard to the front of the stage.Suddenly, Leonard felt that he was being set up by someone else, so he used force to push Nefertari's arm away, asking rudely, "Where did you hide Nina?""Nina? Is she okay?" Nefertari's face revealed an innocent look.Leonard looked at everyone coldly, then suddenly rushed out."Leonard," Paige shouted."Nina," Leonard called out to Nina as he ran, he felt that since he met her, he had to run to find her. The kidnapping case or the charity ball until now."Leonard, stop." Hatice also chased him from the corridor."Hatice? Where is Nina?" He grabbed her shoulder and asked."I as
He tenderly held her in his arms, kissed her hair, and smiled happily. Regardless of whether Nina was that girl or not, he would no longer search and wait, because he had found the girl he wanted.Nina heard his heartbeat, her heart was empty, regardless of whether he considered her the girl eight years ago or not, now she just wanted time to stop at this moment, because after tonight no matter what happened, she would never come close to him again.Leonard bent down, took off Nina's shoes, and gently helped her put on a pair of pink shoes, these were the shoes that the girl eight years ago left behind.In a flash, Nina also felt that she could become that girl, otherwise, how could these shoes fit so well?"I had an accident five years ago, so I'm not taller now, it's probably just a coincidence that I fit into these shoes." Nina's words made Leonard stop, he understood, that no matter what, this pair of shoes had been here for eight years, perhaps its owner no longer fit, and in thi
