"Thanks, Dad. But I already have my own plans," Sonya said softly, smiling at her father."What plans, dear? Are you going back to New York?" Mr. Daniel asked cautiously, but Sonya shook her head and smiled."No, Dad. I promised myself I would leave the glamorous world that has blinded my eyes and heart, I will start with a simpler life that is closer to nature.""What do you mean, Sonya?""Earlier, when I was really feeling desperate, I met a little angel who changed my outlook on life, and then I had a long discussion with my best friend, Jenny.Finally, we agreed: Jenny and I will open a ranch business. Before that, I will first learn from Jenny's uncle, who has become a successful ranch businessman in Texas. Jenny has contacted her uncle, and he is welcome. He will help. Just wait until I'm ready.""So, you're moving to Texas?""Right, Dad. But before I go there I'm going to Detroit first to meet the Harris family and drop Mom off, doesn't Mom want to go home?" Sonya smiled as she
"Where are you, Sonya? Don't try to betray me."Richard's face was red. He had contacted Sonya many times, but the woman's number was not active. Richard had indeed cut off communication with Sonya for some time, but it was for the time being until the situation was safe.Now, he heard the news that the Wilson family was having a big party in Philly, which meant that Nathan and his family focused on the event, so he felt that his supervision was starting to loosen up. Richard also had a plan, but Sonya was going to spearhead it. Unfortunately, she couldn't be reached. Had she changed her number?On the other hand, Bob has received information from his father about Sonya, a detailed explanation, and access to Sonya's apartment. Bob was very happy to hear the news about his sister. He hopes that Sonya has really realized and wants to change herself for the better.Bob immediately checked Sonya's apartment and contacted the organizers of a charity bazaar to auction off Sonya's belongings
"What is she doing here?" Mr. Carter was wide-eyed, his eyes unblinking at the woman among the guests. Suddenly, Mr. Wilson followed the direction of his friend's gaze."Sonya?" muttered Mr. Wilson."Did you invite her, Wil?" asked Mr. Carter.Mr. Wilson shook his head. How could he invite Sonya when the relationship between grandfather and granddaughter was not good? Besides, Sonya also hated Nathan and Nina, so it was very unlikely that he invited her."Shameless bastard! Coming uninvited, dressed inappropriately too." Mr. Carter grumbled while looking at Sonya. The woman was indeed wearing casual clothes. Sonya wore jeans and a T-shirt paired with a denim jacket and sneakers. In stark contrast to the scene of the guests wearing formal attire, almost all the female guests who came were wearing evening dresses, and only Sonya herself wore jeans.Grandpa Wilson was silent. There was something strange about Sonya's appearance. It was common knowledge that Mr. Carter's granddaughter was
"Sonya, wait!" called someone whose voice Sonya knew very well. The woman stopped her steps and slowly turned around. A man rushed towards her. Sonya immediately ran towards the man. The two of them embraced tightly, and Sonya's tears were unstoppable."Dad, grandpa really hates me, he won't even lift his face to look at me."Sonya could no longer contain her sadness; Mr. Daniel also felt very heavy; even the middle-aged man's eyes were wet."Patience, Sonya. Patience," Mr. Daniel consoled as he stroked his daughter. "With time, your grandfather's heart will melt. Earlier, when you were heading to the bridal venue, your grandfather lifted his face and his eyes never left watching you.""Really, Dad?" Sonya raised her face, and Mr. Daniel nodded."That means he still cares about you, maybe because of his prestige and still wants to see how serious you are about changing."Sonya sighed at her father's explanation, "but, I really want to hug grandpa one last time before I leave, Dad..."
"Apparently you're here?" Christy barged in, stunned by the dimly lit room and even more surprised to see Mike and Laura making out."Tsk, you bully brat, what are you looking for us for?" snapped Mike."Are you guys really dating?" asked Christy, still dumbfounded."Yup, tonight we pledged our love, and we're going to follow Nathan and Nina. Right, baby?" Mike looked at Laura intently. She nodded with a smile."Oh, congratulations then, you'll be my sister-in-law too, Ra." Christy put her arm around Laura."You should introduce Laura to grandfather, uncle and aunt, Mike.""Sure," Mike replied, glancing at Laura. They returned to the party room, Christy entering first and rushing to Nathan and Nina to tell them the news, while Mike and Laura walked casually holding each other."Oh, really?" responded Nathan, and Nina smiled happily."It's true, Tan. I saw Mike propose to Laura in a very romantic setting." Christy described the romantic atmosphere of the room."Wow, Mike is quite a ro
"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
"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
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
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?"
