On this side, after Nolan left the restaurant, he became more and more angry.
He had never been hit by his dad before, but this time he got slapped because of that woman, Alessia.
Ever since he met Alessia, he either got slapped or was on the way to getting slapped.
Nolan didn't drive home but went straight to the bar.
Feeling depressed, he didn't feel like chatting with people or flirting with girls anymore. He just sat in the corner, drinking heavily one glass after another.
Until he got half-drunk, he accidentally turned his head and found a woman sitting in the empty seat beside him.
The woman wore a green long dress and a beige fisherman's hat, also drinking heavily one glass after another.
But her figure seemed somewhat familiar.
Finally, Nolan belched and recognized the person in front of him.
On the second day, when they were about to leave, Alessia still felt a bit uneasy. She repeatedly reminded the two kids, "When you reach the Carter family's old residence, don't talk nonsense." Christian playfully made a gesture of sealing his mouth shut, "Alright, Mommy, my mouth is even tighter than a walnut." "Hehe, Chris, when the walnut is ripe, its mouth will crack open," Eleanor teased. "Hey, I just misspoke," Christian playfully stuck out his tongue. He wouldn't admit to his little scheme. However, when Christian's gaze fell on Alessia's serious face, he quieted down. Words aside, antics aside, he would never deceive Mommy. Christian stepped on the steps, tiptoed, and planted a kiss on Alessia's face, "Mommy, don't worry, you're always my favorite person." Alessia smiled, pinching Christian's l
One hour later. In the principal's office of the Royal Baby Kindergarten, Director Fraser and the security guard stood side by side in front of the principal's desk. The principal, with gentle eyes behind her glasses, was on the phone. After saying a bunch of kind words, she hung up. Director Fraser cautiously asked, "Principal, did Miss La Rosa agree to send her two children to our kindergarten?" The principal nodded, "She agreed." Director Fraser breathed a sigh of relief, and the security guard wiped the sweat off his forehead. Curiously, Director Fraser asked, "Principal, why did you insist on inviting Miss La Rosa's children to our kindergarten?" The principal replied, "Because those children are outstanding. The boy is already a black belt in taekwondo at such a young age, and he excels in various sports. The girl is a
After doing all this, she turned to Mr. Patel and said, "Remember, everything I did today was at Margaret's request. If you have any objections, you can go find her. Also, my children have go to Royal Baby Kindergarten, and we don't need any help from your vice principal mother. Got it?" "I g-got it." Mr. Patel timidly raised his head and stuttered in reply. He never expected that this beautiful woman would be so terrifying. If he had known, he wouldn't have left the house today. Satisfied, Alessia narrowed her eyes and turned around, only to see Dominic standing at the entrance of the men's restroom, looking at her indiscernibly with a mix of emotions. Bad luck. Pretending as if nothing had happened, Alessia brushed past Dominic, but heard him say, "Wow, blind date? The man is not bad." Alessia felt a little uncomfortable. She hadn't expected Dominic to be in the lobby
Dominic looked at David and instructed, “Give me the keys. You follow with the others.” "Yes," David replied. Dominic took the car keys and drove behind Alessia. As the car kept moving forward, Alessia drove while talking on the phone with M. Before long, M's voice came through the phone line. "Boss, although the west suburban steel mill has been abandoned for a long time, there were indeed some cameras left when it was relocated. I'll switch over the feed right away." "Okay," Alessia responded briefly, her eyes fixed on the phone. Soon enough, the feed came through. Inside the warehouse-like corrugated iron building, seven or eight social youths dressed in a shabby manner were sitting around playing cards. On the ground were iron rods and large fruit knives. In another feed, outside a c
Alessia remained silent, her face showing a complex expression. If she told Dominic that Chris was missing, Dominic would definitely become suspicious, especially since there was still another ‘Chris’ in the old mansion. But upon further consideration, she couldn't be so selfish. She couldn't let Christopher be in danger just because she didn't want Dominic to know about Christian and the others. After all, having one more person searching for Christopher could mean finding him a minute earlier. "I...," Alessia was about to speak honestly when several cars drove into the steel factory gate. The door of the leading car opened, and out stepped David. After getting out of the car, David reached in and lifted a little boy out. And the boy he lifted out was none other than the missing Christopher. David jus
Milo gritted his teeth. The woman was right. If he missed this opportunity, he would be destined to be poor and destitute in his next life. But if he didn't agree, he would still end up destitute. Why not take a gamble? Milo finally made a decision. On the other side, Nolan was still enjoying the admiration of the crowd. "Nolan, you're so handsome! Your driving skills just now could rival professional racers." "That's right, Nolan, I think you could even participate in official professional racing tournaments." Nolan accepted these praises with a smile, his face filled with enjoyment. Just then, the crowd was parted by someone coming from behind, and in came Milo, dragging his injured leg. "Milo, aren't you going to the hospital? Don't tell me you can't afford the hospitalization fee?" "Sigh, Gabe is s
Milo and Gabe were both tense, their eyes fixed on the middle of the hillside where the two cars were about to collide. They dared not even breathe. As seconds ticked away, just as the black one was about to collide, the white sports car swiftly reversed. However, even though her reaction was quick, it was still too late. The rear end of the black sports car was about to hit the front of the white sports car... It was over. Milo took a deep breath, unable to look, and closed his eyes. The feeling of almost seeing the dawn, only to be plunged into darkness again, was tearing his heart apart into pieces. It felt like his heart had been punched hard. In Milo's mind, he could already see glimpses of his next life. Dragging his injured legs that couldn't do heavy work, sitting in the fields doing strenuous
Harrison furrowed his brows. In fact, he knew that Margaret wanted to use Alessia to facilitate cooperation with the Patel Group. He also understood Nolan's personality. While there was a reason behind the incident, it didn't justify Alessia's treatment of Nolan. As a member of the Ramirez family, making sacrifices for the family was expected. Nolan was the only male descendant of the Ramirez family in this generation, so it was natural for his cousin to make some concessions for him. As he contemplated deeper, the anger in Harrison's eyes began to condense. Just then, the door of the operating room was opened. Nolan, lying on the hospital bed, was wheeled out. Margaret immediately stepped forward, anxiously grabbing the doctor's hand. "Doctor, how is my son?" The doctor replied, "He is out of danger n
