Spring is still young and doesn't quite understand the difference between "mom" and "miss". He blinked his bright eyes and looked at me with a puzzled expression. I noticed Mrs. Eugen's mocking gaze, as if she was looking at a woman who was scheming to climb the social ladder. I felt a sinking feeling in my heart and my expression turned cold. Before I could say anything, Mrs. Eugen sarcastically said, "Natalie, you can't use the term 'mom' casually, don't you agree?"
Seeing that I was unhappy, Mr. Eugen realized it was not good and immediately spoke up in a serious tone, "Mom, Spring likes Natalie. It's just a term of endearment, let him call her that." Mrs. Eugen's face became even worse when she heard him speak up for me, and her gaze towards me became even more sarcastic. "Just a term of endearment? Murphy, today you let Spring call this lady 'mom'. What will your Luna think?" Mrs. Eugen said angrily. Before Mr.Everything that happened before, I'll just consider it a dream. Now that I'm back, everything should go back to square one. "Mr. Eugen, our relationship was a deception from the start, and now that the deception has been revealed, everything should return to its original state," I said softly.Since I can't push away Mr. Eugen, I might as well stop trying. However, I feel cold all over, like a block of ice, as if none of his actions can catch my attention.Mr. Eugen's face darkened, his deep pupils staring at me intently, as if trying to see into my soul. "Nat, are you in such a hurry to distance yourself from me?" Mr. Eugen asked.The coldness in his eyes made me feel a bit panicked. But there are some things that need to be dealt with quickly. "Yes, I do want to distance myself from you," I nodded, my face showing indifference and detachment as I spoke."Okay, very good!" Mr. Eugen suddenly smiled, but there was a
"Yes!" I replied insincerely. Although I feel sad right now, I believe these emotions will dissipate soon."Damn it!" Mr. Eugen stared at me angrily for a moment, then he rubbed his forehead and carried me towards the inside of the room."Mr. Eugen, put me down!" I was startled. Before I could struggle, the next second I was already thrown onto the bed, with Mr. Eugen's angry face pressing down on me as if punishing me.I looked at Mr. Eugen with tears in my eyes and pleaded, "Mr. Eugen, please don't!" I didn't know if my current state would make Mr. Eugen want to bully me even more.In the end, Mr. Eugen couldn't bear to see me suffer. His actions slowly became gentle, weaving a gentle trap that I couldn't escape from."Mmm..." I couldn't help but hum. Hearing my voice, Mr. Eugen couldn't resist anymore.I don't know how long it took, but Mr. Eugen finally finished. I was exhausted
Last night, I hardly slept a wink. Exhaustion washed over me after Mr. Eugen left, and I decided to tidy up before taking a rest. However, as I lay in bed, I found myself tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep no matter what I did. Rubbing my temples, I suddenly felt unsure of what I should do next. I quit my job because of the villa situation, and besides design, I don't think I have any other skills. But with Claude and Vicky around, it seems impossible for me to find another job like that.Fortunately, I had done a few designs recently and still have some bonus money, so I don't have to worry about my livelihood for now. However, I still need to find my child, and there will be even more expenses when I do. I don't want my child to suffer with me, so I can't just sit around and do nothing.Just as I was contemplating the future, my phone suddenly rang. It was Galvin calling.I answered the phone, "Hello.""Na
Before Galvin came, I was worried about this matter. I didn't expect Galvin to solve the problem for me as soon as he arrived."Great." I agreed without hesitation. I really need a job now, so I thanked Galvin sincerely.I knew how many designers there were in the company. This time, Galvin came to me specifically to design a wedding house for the new couple. Besides saying thank you, I didn't know what else to say."I'm glad you agreed." Galvin seemed relieved. He said, "The house for the new couple is quite close by. Shall we go take a look now?"Since it's work, I certainly won't refuse. So the two of us went out together. The new couple's house was indeed nearby, about a 20-minute walk or less than five minutes by car. Only the wealthy could personally ask Galvin to design their wedding house. Looking at the huge villa in front of me, I knew the new couple had money and what they wanted was a design that suited
I approached and Novia opened the car door and got out. "Novia, why are you here?" I asked with confusion. But it wasn't until I got closer that I could see clearly how Novia looked. She appeared disheveled and distraught, as if she had been crying for a long time. Her tears hadn't dried yet, and her eyes were swollen and red."Nat, I've been heartbroken!" Novia came over and hugged my neck tightly, crying loudly.I was taken aback. What had happened between Novia and Mr. Eugen? My mind was filled with questions, but seeing Novia's tear-stained face, I decided to bring her inside first."How long have you been crying? Your eyes are so swollen," I said as I guided Novia to sit on the couch. I brought her a towel to soothe her eyes, but it didn't seem to work well, so I decided to boil an egg for her."I'm so sad, Nat," Novia sobbed, her eyes filled with sorrow.I paused for a moment, holding the egg
"Nat, you're such a kind person!" Novia expressed some awareness, partially closing her eyes, and said with a smile.Observing her disheveled appearance due to intoxication, I swiftly guided her to lie down. "Go to sleep, and please stop talking."Novia drifted back into sleep, but for some reason, I couldn't manage to fall asleep myself, no matter what I tried.Throughout the night, Novia vomited multiple times in succession. I was grateful that I had refrained from consuming alcohol. If both of us had been intoxicated, I couldn't fathom the state our home would be in. Thankfully, Novia finally woke up in the morning, completely sober this time."How did I end up here?" Novia appeared somewhat confused, unaware of her whereabouts."You drank at my place and then passed out," I explained helplessly.Novia felt a bit embarrassed, and she vividly remembered the events of the previous
Vicky was stunned by the beating, but she remained stubborn and refused to reveal the whereabouts of my child."If you don't speak, I'll smash your face and see if you still have the right to stand by Claude," I threatened her.I knew Vicky cared a lot about her face. It was with this pretty face that she could stand by Claude. Without this beautiful face, how could she still show off her power and dominance?Vicky looked at my hand, which was directly aimed at her face, and she was immediately terrified. The servants next to us were also shocked, never expecting that I would come forward and hit someone."What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and stop her!" Vicky angrily shouted when she saw that the servants were just standing there dumbfounded. The servants finally reacted and tried to come forward and stop me.I glanced at them coldly, my eyes filled with a chilling gaze. "Claude and I h
As soon as Mr. Eugen spoke, Vicky was immediately brought back to reality. All her arrogance and dominance from before vanished in that moment. Vicky's biggest concern was Luna's identity on this level, but Claude had given her all his love without giving her the status of the mistress, leaving her feeling illegitimate.On this level, I have always suppressed her.I noticed that Vicky's eyes turned red. I didn't need to think to know how much she hated me, a discarded werewolf, daring to assert my dominance over her as Luna.The servants around us visibly panicked, instinctively looking towards Vicky, as they all answered to her. Vicky tried hard to conceal her resentment in her eyes, looking at Mr. Eugen with a sense of grievance. Her gaze swept over me, full of hatred."I'm sorry, Mr. Eugen, but all of this was my idea. Please don't blame them." Vicky clearly knew that she couldn't afford to provoke Mr. Eugen, imm
"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
