"Nathan ...." The woman mumbled while staring at the screen without blinking. Her eyes were complicated, and her brown eyes glowed sadly. There was regret combined with annoyance. Until the interview ended, the woman was still stunned. She leaned her body on the sofa, her memory wandering to the past, the times when she had made the wrong decision.Sonya, all because of Sonya, who had influenced her. Suddenly, she longed for the person who used to fill her days. She longed to meet the man who had loved her in the past, who had always spoiled her. But that woman didn't have the courage because she had wounded that man.The woman stared at the picture of a very intimate and happy couple whose photos were widely circulated in the entertainment media and social networks. She stared intently at the woman in the picture, her gaze filled with jealousy and hatred."I should be the one next to Nathan, not you!" She muttered in annoyance. Then, suddenly, she smiled when she saw Nathan's pictu
"What is it, darling?" Nathan asked curiously, his face turning serious. He was distraught that something was bothering his beloved wife.Nina sighed before finally saying, "Nathanny, yesterday we did interviews with various media, and our photos were spread everywhere. I'm afraid it will hurt us. I'm worried about arousing the anger and jealousy of those coveting you.""Oh my, love. Who would want a cold, haughty, arrogant, and cruel man like Nathan, plus impotent too, hehe." Nathan chuckled as he kissed his wife's cheek."I'm serious, Nathanny. In addition to what you mentioned earlier, you are every woman's dream man: handsome, dashing, a wealthy, successful businessman. Which woman doesn't want to live well and become a respectable woman?""In fact, there are women like that," Nathan argued."Oh, yeah? Who?" asked Nina innocently."Her name is Nina Alice Maxwell Evans, a daughter of Irish nobility. She is a special woman who will never be dazzled by wealth or position and is willi
“You...” Nina was silent for a moment, and she remembered that during the collision incident, the person who helped her also called her in the same way. Unfortunately, this man was wearing dark glasses, so Nina could not see both eyeballs, but his voice was the same.“How is Miss. Evans?” the man asked, breaking Nina's confusion.“Oh, it's fine. I'm just a little surprised. Since I'm married to Nathan Wilson, usually people address me as Mrs. Wilson or Mrs. Nathan, but you addressed me by my surname.”“Oh, sorry, sorry, Mrs. Wilson.” The man quickly corrected, “Please take a seat.”The man pulled out a chair and invited Nina to sit down. Then he went around the large table and sat in the opposite direction to Nina so that they were facing each other.“I've heard of your company's reputation, and I've checked out some of Nittany's products and plan to use them for our programs.”“Thank you for your trust, sir ....”“Brian Aran,” interrupted the man, “just call me Aran.”“Yes, Mr. Aran.
“Dad...” Nina murmured, her voice barely audible, but Aran could hear her.“That's a picture of Dad twenty-five years ago. Maybe you weren't born then, Alice. But Dad said he was married to your mother.” Aran explained about the photo Nina was holding. Nina was speechless, the young woman sobbing.“Then you are...?”“I'm your elder brother, Alice, from a different mother, but our fathers are the same,” Aran explained with a smile.“Brother...?” Nina shook her head, very confused.Aran nodded. He took a deep breath and told her about their father's origins.Arthur Maxwell Evans Ó Neill Meisceall was the son of Henry Martin Maxwell Ó Neill Meisceall, the fifth Baron Maxwell, one of Northern Ireland's noblemen. As was the family rule, Sir Arthur was betrothed to Saoirse Collin, also a lady of noble birth. But the two did not love each other, even though they had been married for three years, and their son had been born.When Brian Aran, the son of Arthur Evans and Saoirse Collin, was th
“So he's...” Nathan paused. If it was true that he was Nina's brother, then he was coming to get Nina, and that meant... Ah no, Nathan couldn't imagine taking Nina to Europe and leaving him behind, no matter what, he had to be with Nina.“Emmy, give me Mr. Aran's contact information,” Nathan ordered, wanting to speak directly to the man who claimed to be Nina's brother.“Hello, good evening. I'm Nathan Wilson, Nina Evans' husband.”“Oh, Mr. Nathan. How's it going? Is Alice all right?”“Alice?” Nathan was a little confused and not used to the nickname.“Yes, your wife. Nina Alice Maxwell Evans. Alice was our father's favorite nickname.”“Are you sure my wife is your sister?”Aran was silent for a moment, then sighed. ”Well, Mr. Nathan, tomorrow we meet at the hospital to do a DNA test. Then we can prove whether Alice is really my sister or not.”“Alright, tomorrow I will accompany my wife to do the DNA test,” Nathan replied. “However, I have another question that is bothering me.”“Ho
“Oh God...” Nina muttered as she closed her mouth. The woman was stunned to read the results of the DNA test between herself and Brian Aran, a strange man she didn't know at all.Nina was stunned for a long time, and she couldn't believe it. The test results showed that the relationship between Brian Aran Maxwell Evans and Nina Alice Maxwell Evans was paternal half-sibling.Likewise with Aran, although the man was very sure that Nina was his sister, he was still amazed. This scientific evidence was extremely accurate and irrefutable. Aran slowly raised his face, looking at Nina. She was also looking at him with teary eyes.Suddenly, Nina rushed towards Aran, “Brother...”Aran immediately welcomed, hugging his sister, but the tears between them could not be stopped. Aran had long known that he had a younger sister. His father had told him everything.As for Nina, she never thought that she had a sibling or a brother. It all seemed like a dream to her. With that result, it was possible
“Rebecca, wait! What do you want?” Sonya immediately chased after Rebecca and pulled the woman's arm.“What are you going to do?”“I want to talk to that woman, and I need to see Nathan.”“Idiot, do you think Nathan will listen to you?” Sonya stopped Rebecca.“What do you mean?”“If you tell Nathan what his wife did behind his back, and you have no proof, how will he believe you? He'll sue you for defaming his wife.”Rebecca was stunned, and she looked at the couple from a distance. “Then what are we going to do, Sonya?”“Follow them, then take pictures and videos. Because that will be evidence.”Rebecca nodded. She immediately took out her cell phone and secretly recorded and photographed the couple, who were busy looking at the goods in the shopping center.Having had enough, Rebecca returned to Sonya, who was waiting for her. Sonya immediately looked around. She was secretly amazed at the man with Nathan's wife. The man was perfect. There was a desire in her heart to get that man.
“Mr. Nathan, wait!” a woman's voice called out. Nathan turned around. Victoria was rushing towards him. Nathan frowned. What else was she looking for? It was a good thing he hadn't fired her; if it hadn't been for Nina's request, Nathan would have fired her.Victoria's appearance had changed considerably, as she had been demoted to an ordinary employee. But for Victoria, this was better than losing her job. She was grateful that Nina was willing to forgive her and advised Nathan to give Victoria one more chance.“What's wrong?” asked Nathan, looking at his watch.“I'm sorry, sir. I have some information to share,” Victoria said.“Information? What information?” repeated Nathan.“About Sonya and...” Victoria hesitated to continue.“And what? Please don't beat around the bush. My wife is waiting,” Nathan insisted.“And Miss Rebecca Jones.” Victoria got straight to the point, “I saw Sonya with Rebecca earlier, I'm afraid they're planning something bad for you and Mrs. Nina.”“Rebecca...”
Nathan was stunned, "Sorry, what does that mean?""Well, sir. I'm the president director of a company in Belfast, so I can easily give you a position in my company, so you're not jobless here."The man said proudly. He was the husband of one of Nina's cousins who had no role in O'Meisceall Castle. He could attend the event because his wife had received an invitation. After all, her father was one of Lord Arthur's cousins."Oh, thank you for your kind offer," Nathan replied with a smile, although deep in his heart, he was annoyed because they indirectly accused Nathan of living on his wife's family.As Aran happened to overhear the man's conversation, he felt obligated to set the record straight."Haha, what did you offer Sir Nathan Wilson earlier?" Aran laughed as he approached Nathan and the man; of course, Aran's laughter drew the attention of the others, so they all turned to the three people."As you all know, the Wilson family is one of the Crazy Rich families in New York City. S
"Tan, you should go back to Philly." Grandpa Wilson asked Nathan to come back. Nathan was stunned to learn why his grandfather was asking him to return. The grandfather explained that he had already agreed with Nathan's uncle and aunt to celebrate Nina's pregnancy because this was their first great-grandchild and their first grandchild."Geez, I wonder what's wrong, Grandpa." Nathan laughed at his grandfather's explanation. But I'm sorry, Grandpa. My wife and I won't be able to return anytime soon, as this is a vulnerable time for my wife's pregnancy. She'll be exhausted from the long flight."There was a sigh from Grandpa Wilson. "Is Nina not doing well?""Oh, everything is good, Grandpa. I don't have to worry here, because the Castle has family doctors and nurses who keep a close eye on her, and the food for my wife is specially made with the right nutrients for her gestational age. Also, here I don't have to worry about people having bad intentions towards my wife."Nathan reminde
"What's important, what's important Nathany?" asked Nina in confusion."Honey, we've been making love all month, not a single night off.""Are you bored, Nathany? Or tired?" interrupted Nina quickly, both of them a young couple who were still very passionate about sex.Nathan chuckled at his wife's comment. "How could I be bored, baby. You know, I often ask for more.""Hm, so?" Nina was confused by her husband's attitude."I'm just wondering for this month, the previous months I used to take a week off at the beginning of the month, waiting for your monthly guests to finish, but this month...""Nathany." Nina gasped at her husband's mention of monthly guests. She quickly got up and grabbed her cell phone to look at her monthly calendar."Oh my God! Nathany!" Nina squealed as she covered her mouth."What's wrong, baby?" Nathan woke up and tensed up."My Hubby Baby, I'm six days late," Nina said happily."Oh, really?" Nathan was surprised. Nina nodded as she showed him her menstrual cal
"Dad..." Aran murmured, his eyes filled with tears as he saw his father looking strong and healthy. It was indeed a miracle. Previously, his father looked helpless, let alone able to walk like that; just to get up, he had to be carried.Lord Arthur smiled at Aran and Nathan warmly. He went to his seat in the center while Nina sat on the right next to him. Nathan sat next to Nina. Aran sat across from Nina; he was to the left of his father."I'm sorry you waited so long. My baby Alicia fell asleep," said Lord Arthur, smiling. He looked at Nina, who was also smiling embarrassedly."It's okay, Dad. I'm so happy to see your condition now, it's a miracle." Aran said enthusiastically."That's right, Aran. We're going to celebrate Lady Maxwell's arrival, as well as the confirmation of her title and the recording of her name in the Maxwell family register."Lord Arthur said excitedly. He ordered Fred to prepare everything, and his face lit up. Since it was a little late, he immediately ordere
"The thing is, I'm suspicious of my wife and brother," Nathan said while looking at his brother-in-law. His handsome face looked serious. Aran's face was no less serious seeing his brother-in-law like that. Suspicious of what?"What does that mean? Suspicious of Alice? Suspicious in what way?"A series of questions rolled out of the young nobleman's mouth. Nathan sighed, explaining that Nina was young, energetic, and not a typical spoiled woman who liked to complain. Since childhood, her mother had trained her to be independent. She always endured any hardship without complaining. If it was just going up and down the stairs, it wasn't something she could complain about.Ever since Nathan had known Nina, she had never complained about anything to him. They did like to discuss things, but not as complaints. However, Nathan remembered that Nina had complained that she was often tired, felt tired easily, and wanted to laze around in her room. That happened a few days before the collision,
Nina and Nathan were stunned. Important news? What important news? Wasn't dinner still an hour away?Nina and Nathan rushed to meet Mr. Fred, the man Lord Arthur had personally sent to fetch Nina to his private quarters. Nina was stunned, her heart beating erratically. She had been waiting for this: meeting her father as a daughter and father in person.Nathan could feel his wife's anxiety. He patted Nina's shoulder gently and then grasped Nina's hand, which began to feel cold. Nathan nodded with a smile of support."Come on baby, it's the time you've been waiting for. I'll carry you all the way down."Nathan stroked his wife gently. Nina nodded, the support from her husband calming her down. Nathan carried Nina down the stairs, and even though Nina refused, Nathan immediately carried his wife."Take your time honey, I'll wait for you in front of the pavilion until you get back.""What is it, Nathany, you can rest in the room," Nina refused."No-no. I don't want to see my wife exhaust
Suddenly, Nina leaned closer to her husband. "Nathany, am I dreaming?" she whispered."Why, darling?" Nathan replied in surprise."This building in front of us is like an illustration from a fairy tale." Nina looked up at the tall building before her, several towers rising on three sides. Light shone from every window in the solid natural stone building."Ancient European castles are like this, dear. Illustrators create images based on real images that have existed, then they add imagination to enrich their creations." Nathan explained as he looked at the ancient yet majestic building."Why are you standing here?" Aran approached them, who still hadn't moved, even though the vehicle that had taken them had already left."We're amazed by the view of this castle, brother. Isn't that right, honey?" Nathan replied with Nina's nod. "Apparently, the castle is quite old.""That's right," Aran smiled, gazing at the magnificent castle. This is one of the many old castles still inhabited, about
"Afraid? Afraid of what, my love?" Nathan was stunned. He looked at his wife, and there was nervousness on that beautiful face. "Isn't this the moment you've been waiting for, meeting your real father"?"That's right Nathany, I really miss Daddy, but I don't know what to do, what to say? I'm afraid I'll become a stranger to my own father." Nina sighed softly, question after question running through her mind."You know, Nathany. I've never felt a father's embrace, I don't know how to deal with and be devoted to a father."Nathan was silent at his wife's words. However, he was more fortunate than Nina because Nathan lived in complete love with both parents for eighteen years so that he could feel a father's love. Whereas Nina's father left her when she was only one year old, and there was no memory left in her memory about her father."My Love, don't worry. Although you have never met Daddy and have no memory of him, but believe me, the inner bond as a child and father will guide you. S
"Will, look at that!" said Mr. Carter, his eyes not leaving the young couple dancing amongst the other couples. Grandpa Wilson followed the direction of his friend's gaze; Nathan's grandfather was stunned."Christy? Who is that young man? Could it be her college friend?" muttered Grandpa Wilson."That's your granddaughter, isn't it, Will?" asked Mr. Carter for confirmation, and Grandpa Wilson nodded."Do you know who the young man is dancing with your granddaughter?" asked Mr. Carter again. There was a ripple of excitement on his face, and Grandpa Wilson just shrugged his shoulders."That's Bob, my grandson," Mr. Carter replied with a smile."Oh, is that Bob?""Yeah, that's right Will. I haven't had a chance to introduce him to you yet, he's been busy studying abroad, when he came back I put him in charge of the company under Nathan."Grandpa Wilson nodded, but how did these two get along and know each other so well? Both grandfathers were surprised. They had tried hard to bring Natha
