"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 previousVicky 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
After leaving the Hansom house, my palms were still icy cold. The thought of my missing child made me feel deeply troubled. Mr. Eugen conveniently brought me into his car without saying a word, and gently patted my shoulder to comfort me.Coming back to my senses, I glanced at Mr. Eugen and said, "I really appreciate what you did today." If it weren't for Mr. Eugen arriving in time, not only would I have been unaware of my child's whereabouts, but I would have also been severely beaten by Vicky.Mr. Eugen looked at me calmly and took my hand into his own. A hint of concern flashed in his eyes as he looked into mine and said, "Please don't act impulsively like today in the future. If I hadn't arrived in time, do you know what Vicky would have done to you?""I'm fine, Vicky wouldn't dare lay a hand on me." I felt slightly uncomfortable under Mr. Eugen's gaze, so I averted my eyes and said, "Can you let go of my hand first? You're hurt
After hanging up the phone, I couldn't help but furrow my brows. I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I sensed a hint of disappointment in Claude's tone during our conversation. It must be my imagination though. Claude probably just wanted to get rid of me. The thought of Claude made me lose my appetite for dinner."Claude?" Mr. Eugen casually asked, but there was a hint of darkness in his eyes."Yes, he said he wanted to talk to me in person," I replied nonchalantly."Do you need my help?" Mr. Eugen asked."It's alright, I can handle these things on my own," I declined. I felt that it wasn't necessary. I didn't want anything from Claude, and he had no reason not to reject me. Besides, even if Claude didn't want to separate from me, Vicky probably wouldn't agree, right?"Well, call me if you need anything," Mr. Eugen didn't insist, after all, it would be better for me to handle this matter
"Mr. Eugen, I still prefer that we only have a professional relationship. Please don't read too much into anything else." I controlled my emotions and spoke with a serious expression. Right now, all I want is to find my son. I don't want anything else, especially not getting involved emotionally."Spring's condition is unstable, and he really needs you. I just want you to accompany him for a bit," Mr. Eugen continued, his face filled with concern."But if you want to take care of me, I'm also willing to be taken care of," Mr. Eugen teased, causing my face to blush again.I feel like I'm always being led by Mr. Eugen, which frustrates me and makes my face flush with embarrassment. "Who wants to take care of you!" I said angrily, but the blush on my pretty face didn't fade away."One day, you'll be willing," Mr. Eugen said confidently.I was taken aback and didn't know how to continue the conversation
As I walked into the familiar office building, I made my way to Claude's office. It was clear that Claude had been waiting for me for some time. I didn't want to waste any more words with him, so I directly and coldly expressed my intentions. I didn't want to be delayed any further.There was a momentary disbelief in Claude's eyes, and he paused for a few seconds. "I won't reject you," Claude said.I looked up in surprise and caught a glimpse of longing in Claude's eyes. What was he saying? He was deeply in love with Vicky, and he had even kicked me out of the house for her. How could he possibly have any longing for me?"Nat, I won't separate from you," Claude said, looking into my eyes with sincerity.Claude's confident tone made me feel somewhat ridiculous. Now he was saying that he wouldn't separate from me. He had already heartlessly kicked me out and let Vicky take my place. How could he be so shameless?
Claude, what exactly does he want to do? I grit my teeth, given the current situation, I have no way of knowing the whereabouts of my child. At this moment, I despise Claude, this demon, more than ever.But Claude doesn't want to separate from me. Perhaps I can rely on Mr. Eugen to solve this problem. However, this shouldn't be my first choice. I only want to ask for his help when it's absolutely necessary.When I came out of Claude's office, the receptionist had a respectful look on their face when they saw me. I didn't have much of an impression, I don't need others to show me respect, nor do I care about the insincere flattery of the people here.It's still early, so I decided to pay a visit to Galvin's company. Since I have already accepted the project on the villa development, it's no longer just my own matter. This big project in the hands of Mr. Eugen originally belongs to the company, but now Mr. Eugen wants me to take charg
I feel that humans are creatures of habit. I got off in front of Mr. Eugen's villa and I'm not sure why I chose to come here. I only lived here for a while, but being here now, I feel a lot of familiarity. Even the feeling of my fingers on the door has a habitual bend to it."Miss Fowler is back!" I hadn't even knocked on the door yet, but I could hear the maid's excited voice."Mommy, mommy!" Spring, in the arms of the maid, looked at me with joy, not even blinking his eyes. It seemed like he couldn't believe it, his clear eyes even had a hint of tears, stubbornly looking at me, afraid that I might suddenly disappear."Spring," he had gotten thinner since his illness, and I couldn't help but feel heartbroken when I looked at his pale little face. I had originally wanted to correct him and tell him to call me Miss Fowler, but at this moment, I couldn't bring myself to do it."Mommy, mommy," Spring finally felt that his mommy was by his side, and his little hands opened, wanting to rus
"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
