Mike was still dumbfounded, but as he tried to follow Laura's gaze, he began to understand."Is he your ex?" Mike whispered back, and Laura nodded."Hmm, okay. I'll teach you how to reply elegantly." Mike said as he embraced Laura intimately."Laura, darling, thank you for accompanying me here," Mike said, his voice making it intimate and quite audible to the surroundings, including the couple not far from them."What do you want to look for?" replied Laura with a smile as she snuggled into Mike's arm."I'm looking for a limited edition jewelry set at this store," Mike said as he stroked Laura's hair. The two of them walked past two pairs of wide-eyed people watching them."Isn't that Laura?" said the girl beside Benny. The man didn't answer, but his eyes couldn't leave Laura and Mike."Just broke up with you, already got a handsome guy. She's not as innocent as you think, Ben." Daniella said sarcastically while Benny remained silent. Meanwhile, Mike and Laura circled the window, disp
Mike looked at Laura, wondering if she still hadn't gotten over the ex who had clearly betrayed her. "Why Laura? Are you still crying over him?" Mike repeated his question. "Huh, you're a smartass. Who would cry over him," Laura said as she wiped away her tears. "So why are you crying?" Mike asked again to clarify; this time, he looked directly at Laura, "Don't tell me it's a glare." Laura laughed as she punched Mike on the shoulder, and he chuckled. "I feel relieved because I finally know who the real asshole is," Laura said with a sigh. "How long have you been dating that guy?" Mike asked casually. "Almost two years," Laura said. "Two years, but you don't recognize what kind of guy you're dating?" Mike shook his head, he felt strange about this girl. "Maybe it's because he's covering himself with a mask of falsehood, I thought he was a tame sheep but he's a savage wolf." "That means your love for him hasn't gone deep enough," Mike argued, "look at Nina and Nathan, they haven
As it turned out, Mike contacted Bill, asking him to prepare the instruments for tomorrow night's events, but he asked Nathan's assistant not to tell Nathan and Nina, as it would be a surprise for them, to make it even more memorable. Mike mentioned the details of his plan.Bill agreed, and he immediately contacted the WO handling the event to add Mike's plan to their event concept.After talking to Bill over the phone, Mike smiled at Laura. "You get ready, and I'll help you make it easier to deliver the gift to your best friend.""Actually, I've also forgotten. Nina and I used to make it together. We tried it many times. When it felt right, we kept it, and then we'll play it when one of us gets married."Laura smiled when she remembered her silly idea with Nina. Nina was so sure she would be the first to perform the song because she had been single for so long while Laura already had a boyfriend. Who would have thought that the single girl would get married first?"I'm curious to see
Laura was astonished by Mike's sudden appearance at such a crucial moment, even though she had seen Mike's car drive away."Yes, I did leave but didn't go home; I went to outwit that bastard," Mike replied with a smile."What do you mean?" asked Laura in surprise, "don't tell me that you already knew that asshole was here.""Sorry, friend, unfortunately, I did know that asshole was waiting for you here.""Huh? How did you know? Do you have psychic eyes or supernatural powers?"Mike laughed out loud at Laura's words, "You read a lot of fantasy stories, huh?""Uh, Mike, I'm serious; how do you know?" Laura grumbled with a frown."Well, but don't pout like that, okay? You'll get prettier," Mike joked with a chuckle. "Do you remember when I asked you if you lived here?"Mike said seriously. Laura nodded. "I looked up when you said your room was on the second floor, and I saw that guy standing before the window watching us.""What, seriously, Mike?" Laura urged, and Mike nodded. Laura's ba
"Nathan!" the girl shouted, half running and hugging Nathan. Not only Nina and Aunt Sophia were surprised, but Nathan was equally surprised."Christy?" asked Nathan in surprise, "how did you get here?"Nathan suddenly looked at Mike, who was scratching his head. "Sorry, Tan, I can't hide from this kid," Mike said defensively."Nonsense, I'm not a kid, I'm an adult," Christy said, glaring at Mike."Adult? But your behavior is still like a child, run directly, hug without permission, just make people surprised," Mike babbled, "see that sister-in-law and Auntie so confused."That's when Christy turned to Nina, and the girl's mouth rounded in surprise. "Oh, you're... Nina, right?""Hi Christy, how are you? We meet again," greeted Nina with a sweet smile; actually, she was still unclear who this teenage girl was, but Nina could feel that she seemed to be from Nathan's family."Do you know each other?" asked Nathan, confused, as did Mike."We met at the airport yesterday," Nina said softly.
"Sorry, Madam, you can't just walk in; according to the rules, you must wait until you can enter."The security guard insisted on detaining the woman."Fuck you, what rule? I don't need permission; the rule doesn't apply to me. Don't you know who I am?" the woman snapped haughtily."Sorry, Madam, I'm just doing my job. So please let us see your ID to make sure.""Insolent! You're just a lowly security guard; I can even fire you!" the woman scolded while girdling her loins. "Listen up! I'm Sonya Carter, wife of your boss, Nathan Wilson."The two security guards stared at each other. Sonya grinned, feeling victorious, but one of the security guards said something that made the woman mad."I'm sorry, Madam, we've never heard of Mr. Nathan having a wife, so please wait a moment. I'll confirm inside.""Sassy! You should be taught a lesson!" Sonya raised her hand high to hit security, but it was held back by the other hand, which was firmly restraining her."Let off! Who are you?" Sonya saw
The two security guards dragged Sonya out by force, the woman swearing, which again attracted the attention of the other employees, who stared at Sonya while whispering."Let off! I can walk alone!" snapped Sonya, but the security guards ignored her. They continued to hold Sonya's hands and pull her outside. Once outside the office area, the two security guards let go of Sonya's hands."Bastards! Watch out! you're all going to regret this!" Sonya yelled, but the security guards ignored her and returned to their duty stations.Sonya was so angry she stomped her foot and threw herself into her car. The woman was desperate because she had to pay her debt to Nina today, or she would lose her villa in New Jersey."Where are we going, Madam?" the driver asked."The bar," Sonya replied briefly, closing her eyes and thinking about how to avoid losing her villa. The villa was a gift from her grandfather, who had warned Sonya to take good care of it."Grandpa..." muttered Sonya. She quickly ope
Nathan sighed before finally taking the call and greeting the caller."Hello, Nathan. Where are you?" came the voice of a man on the other end of the line as Nathan took the call."Why are you asking me where I am?" Nathan asked back."This boy is so disrespectful. Ask what and answer nothing," grumbled Mr. Wilson, Nathan's grandfather."Hehe, sorry, Grandpa. You don't usually call me at this time of the day. It's Monday, and it's a busy day." Nathan replied diplomatically."Yes, I know it's a busy time, when aren't you busy? Weekends are still busy, right?""Well, you know," Nathan joked with a smile, "so what's the most important thing you have to say?""Hm, you're Tan. When can you relax? You're like a robot." Mr. Wilson sighed heavily; deep in his heart, he felt sorry for his grandson."Isn't this what you wanted? Didn't you want a Nathan to raise Wils? Now your grandson is fulfilling all your hopes and wishes, right?""Never mind, don't keep cornering your grandpa," Mr. Wilson sa
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
