I just wanted to get drunk, so I smiled and said, "It's alright, I'm here to get drunk. Give me ten more glasses, don't worry, I have money."
The bartender didn't say anything else, just shook their head and made the drinks for me. I drank two more glasses and leaned on the counter, feeling dizzy all over, as if the entire bar was spinning. Suddenly, my phone rang. I took out my phone and looked at it for a while before realizing it was a call from Galvin. I squinted my eyes and answered the call. "Hello... Galvin, do you need something?" I chuckled foolishly and asked. Maybe my voice sounded different than usual, but Galvin became even more worried. He asked, "Where are you right now?" I asked directly, "I'm at a bar, do you want to come have a drink with me?" He immediately replied, "Okay, which bar are you at right now? I'll come right away." After thinking for a while, I finallyI am really unsure how to face Mr. Eugen. I still remember what happened last night, and it was my own initiative. Right now, all I want is to leave this place, to get away from Mr. Eugen, the farther the better. Luckily, I have already resigned from the company, so I don't have to work for the time being. I have already received the payment for the designs I did before, so I am not lacking money right now.I haven't decided where to go yet. I hailed a car and went to the bus station. I didn't stay at the station and directly boarded a long-distance bus that was about to depart, leaving this place behind. I don't care where I go, as long as I can leave behind everything here. I can't face this situation.After a few hours of a long bus journey, I have arrived in a small town to the south of the city. This town is also considered part of Galvin territory, but it's already close to the outskirts. Compared to the city center, the pace of life here is s
Today's weather is nice, so I decided to offer to walk the landlady's dog and take it for a walk on the beach to relax. As I was walking, I suddenly noticed someone next to me. It was Marc."Natalie, thank you for taking Zan for a walk today," Marc said shyly."No problem, I really like dogs," I replied.I have always liked pets, but Claude doesn't, so I never thought about having one. However, when I rented the landlady's house and saw her beautiful golden retriever, I instantly fell in love.Seeing Marc, I happily started playing around him, and I had a hard time controlling Zan.Marc immediately took the leash from my hand and said, "Let me handle it."I didn't object and handed the leash to Marc, saying, "I've been walking Zan for over half an hour, so you can take it back now."Blushing, Marc said, "It's okay, I think Zan wants to play a little longer."&n
I immediately raised my hand, wanting to slap Mr. Eugen, but he didn't look and accurately caught my hand, kissing my palm and saying, "Alright, stop messing around. Are you hungry? Let me cook for you."I really don't know what to do with Mr. Eugen. His face is so thick, I can't win in an argument, and he seems to not hear when I scold him. He does whatever he wants and doesn't listen to any advice. Taking a deep breath, I decided to completely ignore Mr. Eugen.Marc nodded and took Zan's hand, ready to go back. However, Zan was mischievous and suddenly ran in front of me. I didn't notice and stumbled a bit, almost falling, as I tripped on the safety rope around Zan's neck. Marc quickly reached out and held onto my arm, pulling me into his embrace, causing my heart to race."Are you okay?" Marc asked nervously, with a blush on his face.I immediately stepped back from Marc's embrace and said, "I'm fine. Thanks for catching me. Otherwise, I would have been embarrassed.""You're welcome
Mr. Eugen peeled a lot of crab and shrimp for me. Even if I was already full, my appetite wasn't that big, so there was still a lot left in my bowl. He didn't mind and just took what I had left and started eating."No, that's what I ate," I noticed that Mr. Eugen was actually eating what I had left. I immediately stopped him, but before I could finish my sentence, Mr. Eugen interrupted me, saying, "It's okay, I don't mind. What you've eaten is even more delicious."I watched Mr. Eugen eat what I left, feeling a strange warmth on my face. I felt that this action was a bit too intimate."It's up to you," I frowned. Since Mr. Eugen didn't mind, why should I? Even if I objected, I don't think Mr. Eugen would listen to me anyway.Mr. Eugen finished eating the rest of the food and then looked at me, asking, "Where am I going to sleep tonight?""Go to the hotel," I said. "There's a hotel nearby, and the environment is decent."When I first came to this town, I temporarily stayed at that hotel
The next morning, as I woke up, my eyes immediately went towards the direction of the sofa, only to find it empty. Mr. Eugen had already left, and I breathed a sigh of relief. As I prepared to get out of bed, I suddenly noticed a sticky note on the bedside table. It was from Mr. Eugen: "I've gone to a meeting with a client. Breakfast is prepared in the kitchen. I'll be back earlier today. Wait for me at home."Upon reading the note, I couldn't help but scoff in disdain. I turned around and tore the note into pieces, throwing it in the trash bin. Wait for him to come back? In your dreams.I woke up late and went to the kitchen to find breakfast. By the time I finished eating, it was already noon. I had no idea when Mr. Eugen would return, and I didn't want to see him, but I couldn't just run away either. Even if I tried to hide, Mr. Eugen would probably find me, and I didn't feel like going through the trouble. Although I had no intention of leaving town, I also didn't plan on staying h
Mr. Eugen poured all the dishes he made in the evening into the trash can. Then he took me to a seafood restaurant. When we arrived at the restaurant, there were many fresh seafood in the water tank at the entrance, all of them were very fresh. I couldn't help but salivate. I actually quite like eating seafood, but the seafood I had before was not as fresh and sweet as the one by the seaside."Do you still want to eat Chinese food?" Mr. Eugen opened the menu and asked about the dishes I specially ordered for tonight.I immediately shook my head. "No, let's have seafood."We casually ordered a few dishes. Mr. Eugen naturally put on gloves, peeled the crab meat, put it on a plate, and handed it to me, saying, "Here, aren't you hungry? Eat it."I looked at Mr. Eugen unexpectedly for a while. It seemed like it was a matter of course for him to peel the crab meat for me, as if he had become accustomed to it."You..." I hesitated and said, "Why are you treating me like this?""What's wrong?"
I snorted, but my hatred towards Mr. Eugen diminished a bit. Since I met Mr. Eugen, although he concealed his identity, he has never done anything to hurt me. On the contrary, he has helped me a lot. Now I am slowly calming down from the impact of knowing that Mr. Eugen is MK. I have become more objective.I've seen Mr. Eugen's kindness towards me, and I'm not ungrateful. Maybe I shouldn't have been so extreme before he did something to harm me. After realizing this, I feel much more relaxed. My tense body slowly relaxes, and I rest my chin on Mr. Eugen's shoulder. Neither of us speaks, and suddenly the atmosphere becomes strange. There is something that makes me feel scared, as if it is slowly growing.To break the tension, I take the initiative to divert the attention and ask, "Why did you intentionally make the food taste so bad tonight?"I've always been unable to understand why Mr. Eugen did that.After hearing my question, Mr. Eugen paused for a moment and I felt a slight drop. H
I feel like all the air in my lungs is being sucked away by Mr. Eugen, and I'm almost suffocating. I had to forcefully push him away before he finally let go of me."Are you awake now?" Mr. Eugen raised his head and looked into my eyes gently, asking, "If you're not awake yet, I don't mind continuing with you."Before Mr. Eugen could finish his sentence, I interrupted him, "No, I'm awake now."I have no doubt that if I dared to say I was still asleep, Mr. Eugen would continue to kiss me. Mr. Eugen is an Alpha, and all the self-defense techniques I can think of right now are useless in front of him. So in front of Mr. Eugen, I am very passive and can only be led by him, whatever he says goes."Well, since you're already awake, then get up quickly." Seeing how cooperative I am, Mr. Eugen, who originally wanted to get some benefits for himself, said somewhat regretfully, "I'll go make breakfast, you have ten minutes to
"Nat, where are you?" Mr. Eugen asked with concern.I completely forgot. I've been so focused on Spring lately that I haven't even taken a break. How could Mr. Eugen not have noticed that I've been gone for so long today?When I saw Mr. Eugen's phone call, I felt nervous. Hearing his concern for me warmed my heart and made my nose feel a bit tingly. I even felt like crying a little.
"After that day, Elsie never came to the hospital again, and I continued to accompany Spring in the hospital while Mr. Eugen still took care of her with me every day.On this day, I received a call from Novia. Seeing Novia calling me on her own initiative, I couldn't help but be surprised. I glanced at Mr. Eugen who was resting next to me, and walked outside the ward to answer the phone."Novia?" I had a slight worry in my heart when it came to Novia."Do you have time to talk?" Novia's tone was a bit impatient, and she quickly said.I looked in the direction of the ward. Spring was sleeping at the moment, and Mr. Eugen was by her side, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to leave for a while.I agreed and said, "But I'm worried about Spring. Can we meet somewhere around the hospital?"When Novia heard my suggestion, her tone suddenly became even more hostile. "Hmph, pretending to care. That child is not yours, I don't believe you really care about that child."I heard Novia's tone an
I returned home, feeling physically exhausted, but I just couldn't fall asleep.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Spring lying weakly in the hospital bed, waiting for a blood transfusion. After finally managing to doze off for a little while, I even dreamt of Spring crying and looking for their mother. I woke up drenched in cold sweat, unable to fall back asleep.I know something is not right with my current state. It seems like I have truly become attached to Spring. Even though I know Spring has their own mother and is not my child, I can't control my emotions and treat them as if they were my own.I glanced at the time and realized it was already afternoon. Feeling a bit hungry, I got up and made myself a bowl of instant noodles. As I looked at the steaming noodles, thoughts of Spring came flooding back. How is Spring doing now? They must be happy with their biological parents by their side, right? Despite thin
"Since you're back, just in case Spring gets confused, I'll make Spring call her Miss Natalie from now on," Mr. Eugen spoke again, a hint of pain in his eyes.Hearing his words, my eyes widened involuntarily. Does it mean that because Spring's mother is back, he won't allow Spring to call me mom anymore? I looked at Elsie sitting by the bed, watching Spring, and my lips started trembling."Spring!" I couldn't help but call out, but I was afraid of waking up Spring who was sleeping, so my voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.Elsie's lips curled up slightly, pretending to look innocent, and said, "Murphy, you really hired a good nanny this time. She has such deep affection for our Spring, I'm really happy about it." Elsie's tone was praising, and her eyes towards me were filled with admiration, as if I were just a nanny.I was taken aback and looked at Mr. Eugen. Elsie mistook me for a nanny, but what about
I walked towards the nearby sofa with a sense of disappointment and sat down. I listened as Spring called Elsie "mom," and it made me feel uneasy. Spring was just a child, and he quickly got tired after playing for a while. Elsie gently tucked him in and then sat down next to me. However, I couldn't help but notice that she was sitting a bit far away from me, whether intentionally or unintentionally."I never expected that taking care of a child could be so exhausting. You've really been through a lot these past few days," Elsie said, with a hint of playfulness in her voice. I was already quite delicate-looking, but at this moment, I looked even more adorable and pitiable.So Mr. Eugen had been involved with a woman like her before. I suppose every man would be attracted to a woman like her, right? Even if he left, he probably wouldn't easily forget her, would he?My expression couldn't help but turn unpleasant. Elsie had come back, and judging by her appearance, it seemed like she wa
I felt a warmth in my heart. Even though I appeared confident in front of Mrs. Eugen, deep down I felt a bit insecure, thinking that I didn't really deserve Mr. Eugen. But Mr. Eugen's unwavering attitude truly made me feel secure.I couldn't help but turn my head and saw Mr. Eugen smiling at me."Murphy, you are really clueless," Mrs. Eugen said with a disdainful look, disgusted by my persistence. But knowing that today was not the day for any outcome, she left in a hurry.After Mrs. Eugen left, I didn't feel relieved. My mind was still filled with Mrs. Eugen's and Novia's words. Before I could think too much, Mr. Eugen looked into my eyes earnestly and said, "Nat, don't overthink it. I like you, and if you're willing to give me a chance, I would be really happy. I love you. The luckiest thing in my life is being with you."I knew Mr. Eugen liked me, really liked me. But I couldn't ignore Mrs. Eugen's words and I co
As Mrs. Eugen walked in and saw me, a disdainful expression appeared on her face. She looked at me mockingly and said, "Miss Fowler, I thought I made it clear last time. I never expected you to still be clinging to my son."Upon hearing Mrs. Eugen's mockery, I felt a bit angry inside, but I didn't show it. I simply smiled politely and responded, "Mrs. Eugen, this is between Mr. Eugen and me. He is an adult now, and even though you are his mother, you have no right to interfere with his freedom to love."I promised myself that I would face whatever challenges came my way, so this time, I wouldn't run away."I have every right to interfere, and it's not up to you to decide. I've seen women like you, who just want to climb the social ladder," Mrs. Eugen said contemptuously. "If you have any self-respect left, you will leave immediately. We don't welcome you here.""I'm not leaving, and you don't have the power to make
"Are you two together?" Novia exclaimed incredulously.Mr. Eugen, standing beside me, admitted openly, "As you can see."I felt my body stiffen, not expecting Novia to suddenly appear. I knew Novia had feelings for Mr. Eugen, even though he had made it clear to her. The current situation made it difficult for me to avoid suspicion."Novia, I..." I tried to explain, but it seemed that no matter how I explained it, it would be wrong.Novia looked at me with a cold smile and mocked, "I trusted you as a good sister, but you're secretly stealing my man. You're really something."Novia's words were sharp and pierced my heart deeply. "Novia, it's not like that, me and..." I tried to explain, but Novia interrupted me coldly.Novia questioned, "Natalie, if you dare to do it, you should dare to face it. You and Mr. Eugen are together every day. Have you been planning this all along?"Novia
I carefully examined Spring's features, and indeed, he looked so much like me. I took out my phone and switched to the front camera, looking at myself in the screen and then at Spring. The more I looked, the more I realized how uncanny the resemblance was. My heart started beating faster, just as the nurse had mentioned. Spring and I truly looked like mother and son. As I held the child in my arms, my inner turmoil only grew stronger.If Spring is my child, why hasn't Mr. Eugen told me about it? Could there be another hidden reason behind this? However, whether Spring is my child or not, I must resolve my doubts. While Mr. Eugen is still not back, I dialed the phone number of the detective agency I used before."I want you to verify some information."After hanging up the phone, I felt very nervous. Looking at Spring in my arms, I couldn't let go of him.When Mr. Eugen came back, he placed the take-out box on
