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
The door was decorated with roses, and a beautiful bouquet of flowers congratulated the couple on their marriage, leaning beautifully against the elevator. It wasn't just Nina who was surprised; Nathan was as well, and this was beyond his design. Nathan did plan a surprise for Nina but in the elevator and the decorations in her room.Nathan read the greetings and senders of the flower board wedding, listed by the staff and management of the apartment. Nathan smiled as it turned out that his being a resident in the apartment was quite appreciated.Just as Nathan was about to press the elevator button, two people arrived carrying a bouquet and a lei, a circular bouquet of congratulations."Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson," said one man as he shook Nathan's hand."Welcome, Mrs. Wilson; we, on behalf of the management and security staff, welcome you as our new resident," a woman said as she draped the lei around Nina's neck."Thank you. We look forward to seeing you all tonight." Nat
Everyone at the time was surprised; some thought it was Nina's father or other relatives, but not Aunt Sophia; she noticed the man, and immediately her eyes filled with tears."Congrats, sweetheart. I'm sorry I couldn't be here this afternoon; I'm still on the trip from Sydney; I just arrived here.""Geez, uncle. Must be very tired, after traveling a long way.""It's okay, dear. I'll be very sorry if I can't be there on your special day. You are so beautiful, and you look just like Katy. I was in a daze, and I thought you were Katy."There was a sadness in the man's words. His longing for Katherin Thompson, Nina's biological mother, almost made him forget himself when he saw Nina in a wedding dress, just like his mother used to be. Whether by coincidence or not, when Nina's mother got married, she also wore a wedding dress of the same color as the one Nina was wearing now.Nina hugged Uncle John tightly; her heart was in turmoil, and she seemed to feel the presence of her mother again
Nathan was confused about what happened to his wife. He turned around to look for Mike because Mike was also involved in tonight's event, but he couldn't find him. When Nathan was about to contact the event organizers, another surprise occurred.In the center of the main stage was a screen on which various photos of Nina and Laura appeared, along with a girl singing.Nathan sighed. Now he understood why his wife was shedding tears, especially hearing the song lyrics that contained a friend's sincerity. Nathan immediately embraced his wife and invited her to sit down, enjoying a particular dish from their friends.Nina didn't blink at the screen; she smiled as she sang along, but her eyes were already wet. On the side of the screen, the curtain opened, and a girl wearing a baby blue dress was playing the piano while singing. Now everyone present could see the girl and knew that she was a very close friend of the bride because it was also seen in their photos.Today.The sky is so clear
