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
Mike gasped; he immediately turned around, and a man with a cold face whispered in his ear. Mike glanced at Nathan, who was still in euphoria on the dance floor; he quietly sneaked to follow the man."How's it going, Bill?" asked Mike once he was in another quiet room."Lots of paparazzi and headhunters hanging around outside," Bill replied."O, shit! Nathan and Nina will be out soon," Mike grumbled, "how did they find out? Did anything leak out?""They're used to hanging around places like this, but it looks like they've smelled this party." Bill and Mike were silent, both trying to find a way to get Nathan and Nina out without being seen by the photo and news hounds."Is there a problem?" asked Nathan, who suddenly entered; Mike and Bill were surprised. When Bill whispered, Mike was caught by Nathan's sharp eyes.Mike and Bill couldn't argue anymore; Mike told them about the paparazzi, and he and Bill were trying to find a solution.Nathan was silent for a moment, and then he looked
"Ah shit, it turns out they didn't all go in. There are still one or two wandering around outside," Nathan muttered softly, quickly pulling Christy to his side to swap positions with Nina. Fortunately, Nina also wore a mask, so part of her face was covered. They slowed down, Nathan had given the code to Nina and the others to calm down."Good evening, Mr. Nathan Wilson," one of them greeted in a friendly manner."Good evening," Nathan replied with a smile."Are you from Mr. Michael Wilson's engagement party? And how was it, sir?""Yes, I did," Nathan replied again. "It went well and was quite simple but exciting.""Who were the guests, sir?""It was limited to Mike and Laura's close friends and family representatives," Nathan explained."When are you getting married, sir? Are you seeing a woman? Is this your girlfriend?"The newscaster grilled Nathan and looked at Christy, who was walking beside Nathan. Nathan smiled. He had expected to be asked this question."Me? You'll know when th
Sonya's eyes did not blink. A social media account from one of the news portals had a picture of Nathan, the young and handsome boss who had just attended the engagement party of his best friend, Michael Wilson."He said he was on a business trip but attended the party; it's tonight, which means he's still in town," Sonya muttered. She squinted her eyes, reading the excerpt of Nathan's statement and the headline in the news. This handsome boss is close to an undisclosed woman; who could that lucky girl be?"Close to a girl? Who? Doesn't Nathan always seem to be alone?" Sonya was getting increasingly curious, and there was a bit of worry in her heart about whether she related to Nathan's sudden blocking of all facilities to her.Her blood boiled even more when she read Nathan's quote; Later, when the time comes, you'll know."Sonya's face turned bright red; who was the woman Nathan was hiding from? Were they getting married? "No! I have to prevent their marriage, and it's up to that j
"What do you mean, Christy, don't be careless!" Mike warned Christy, knowing his sister could be careless at times. "Tsk, I'm just trying to remind that woman not to bother Nathan anymore. Let Nathan live a quiet life, married to whatever woman he loves." "Don't be so careless, Chris; you don't know who Sonya is," Mike argued. "I know who she is. She's a shameless woman who just wants to blackmail Nathan. Nathan's had enough, five years of being milked, our brother's worked hard, she's the one who's enjoying squandering the money." "Okay-okay. I know you're angry, but leave it to your brothers. Nathan has his plans; don't let your careless actions derail his plans. You keep doing what you're doing, pretending to turn a blind eye." "It depends," Christy said, "if I don't see her, maybe I'll keep quiet. But don't let her meet me. I'll chop her into BBQ." "Hehe, just because you're good at karate, you want to BBQ, Sonya. Stay calm. If you go to jail, I'll be the one in trouble. You
