The connection between Claude and me makes me feel insignificant like dust. How can I dare to ask for someone even more outstanding than Mr. Eugen? With Mr. Eugen's status, he can have any kind of woman he wants. Why would he choose someone like me, a woman who has been abandoned? Moreover, I am his nephew's wife. It would be so scandalous if this were to get out. I don't want to fall into the same embarrassing situation as before.
"Natalie, don't you feel how I feel about you?" Mr. Eugen continued. His words and the affectionate expression on his face surprised me. When I think about how Mr. Eugen risked his life to save me at the casino and went through great lengths to make the food I love, the answer is already clear. But I can't give Mr. Eugen any response right now. I just want to find my child. Looking at all the dishes on the table that I love, I feel like I can't taste them anymore. "I'm full," I said, putting down my bowl.I heated up a bottle of milk for myself and drank it before going to bed. I want to take good care of my health because I still have my own life and cannot dwell on the past.Not long after, I fell into a deep sleep. I don't know how long I slept, but suddenly I saw my child waving at me, saying, "Mom, mom, come find me, I want my mom."I tried to chase after my child, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't catch up."Spring!" I suddenly woke up, sitting up in bed, gasping for breath.After waking up, I realized it was just a dream. But for some reason, the name "Spring" came out of my mouth. After waking up from the dream, I couldn't fall back asleep. It was just a dream, but my child still hasn't been found.I looked at the time, it was only four o'clock in the morning, and the sky wasn't completely bright yet. I wiped away a cold sweat and my eyes were filled with worry. I sat on the bed, hug
The nanny didn't notice my change in expression, she was focused on looking at Spring on the small bed: "Spring doesn't look like Mommy, he must look like Daddy."Suddenly, I thought of the woman I met at the entrance of the villa area earlier. I kept wondering what kind of man could match such a woman. But if it's Mr. Eugen, then it's definitely possible. Could that woman be Spring's mother? I recalled the security guard's strange expression and felt that this possibility was highly likely.The security guard has seen me before, seeing me frequently entering and exiting Mr. Eugen's house, so there might be some misunderstanding. So after seeing Spring's biological mother, he showed a strange expression. My thoughts became even more complicated. If my guess is correct, then what is Mr. Eugen thinking? The child's mother has come to find him, how will he react?I couldn't help but think of the last time he came to me on our anniversa
Spring's attention shifted to the photo in my hand as he followed my movements. He exclaimed, "Mommy!" as he pointed at the photo. It suddenly dawned on me that he was referring to the person in the photo as his mother. Spring has always been wary of strangers, but he has always been particularly affectionate towards me. Could it be because Mr. Eugen told him that I am his mother? My hand holding the photo trembled slightly as I looked at Spring, and my emotions became complicated."Spring, are you hungry? Shall we go and have some milk ?" I didn't want to stay in this room any longer. Every time I look around, I immediately think of Mr. Eugen.Upon hearing the mention of milk, Spring put down his toy and his eyes lit up. He held out his hands, indicating that he wanted me to hold him, and his little feet tapped impatiently on the floor, eager to find his own bottle. Despite having something on my mind, seeing Spring's adorable expression, I couldn't help but smile.I handed Spring o
As I walked away from Spring, I couldn't help but notice his resentful tears. My body froze, but I didn't turn around. Instead, I quickened my pace. Spring had Mr. Eugen to take care of him, and he would soon forget his sadness. I tried to convince myself of this.I reached the outskirts of the villa area and glanced back. To my surprise, Mr. Eugen hadn't followed me. I felt a slight sense of disappointment. It seemed that Mr. Eugen wanted to be with Spring's mother, so he wanted to keep his distance from me. Well, that's fine. At least I won't have to constantly avoid him anymore.Images flashed through my mind. When I wanted to end my life, he told me he would help me seek revenge. At that time, he approached me in the name of MK and said his condition was that I had to be involved.When I discovered that MK was actually Mr. Eugen, I tried to escape, but he kept chasing after me. He even got injured while protecting me, risking a confrontation with the thief.When I purposely made t
Mr. Eugen led me outside, holding my hand tightly. Every step we took seemed to possess a magical power, causing my heart to beat in rhythm.Mr. Eugen drove me to the nearby famous seaside restaurant. As soon as we got out of the car, a gentle sea breeze blew through my hair. Facing the sunset, I looked out at the vast expanse of the sea, and my mood instantly brightened."Nat, let's go," Mr. Eugen pulled me out of the car and walked towards the restaurant."Mr. Eugen, this way please." The restaurant manager immediately greeted us and led us to the third floor.If this seaside restaurant is considered famous, then the third floor of the restaurant is even more renowned. The location on the third floor is highly sought after, with many people waiting in line for six months just to dine here. I had also made a reservation here before, planning to celebrate my one-year wedding anniversary with Claude, but Claude never
Mr. Eugen's heartbeat was strong and powerful, and I could feel it as I touched his chest. It was as if I had been shocked, and I wanted to pull my hand back, but he wouldn't allow it. He kept my hand pressed against his chest.Mr. Eugen asked me, "Nat, do you feel it? It's beating for you."This time, I felt like I couldn't escape anymore.Finally, Mr. Eugen let go of my hand, but my heart couldn't calm down for a long time. What did he mean by that? Was he confessing to me? And what about Spring's mother? What was he thinking? Just thinking about him going out with Spring's mother yesterday felt like a stab in my heart, and suddenly, I felt cold.The dinner came to an end, and Mr. Eugen stood up and said to me, "Nat, I'll take you home."I originally wanted to refuse, but it was inconvenient to get a taxi here, and everything Mr. Eugen had arranged tonight made it impossible for me to refuse. So,
"Nat, do you still dare to ask me what you want?" Mr. Eugen suddenly had a look of grievance.I felt my heart about to jump out of my chest. Facing his hopeful gaze, I didn't know where the courage came from, and I pressed my lips against his. However, as soon as I made contact with his lips, he immediately responded and we once again engaged in a passionate entanglement.Unbeknownst to me, there were a pair of eyes not far away, staring intently. But we were so engrossed in our kiss that we didn't notice his presence at all.I was overwhelmed by the kiss, and finally, before I lost all strength, I felt liberated."Nat, this is the best birthday gift." Mr. Eugen whispered in my ear, right at the most sensitive spot. Immediately, I felt a blush spreading, even my ears were burning.I quickly pushed him away a bit, the shy blush making me look particularly charming. "You should go back." I said, witho
I spent some time playing with Spring, and time flew by quickly. Before I knew it, the sky outside had started to darken. At that moment, I heard the sound of keys opening the door, and Mr. Eugen walked in with a look of anger on his face. However, as soon as he saw us, his expression instantly returned to normal. I didn't know where Mr. Eugen had been, but I could still feel the lingering coldness on him."You're back?" I decided to ignore these details for now and asked him with a smile.I held Spring in my arms, and when I saw Mr. Eugen, I could see a bright light flicker in his eyes. "Yeah, I'm back. Did you miss me?" His tone was still very gentle, as soft as a feather, tickling my ears and leaving me defenseless.But how could I answer such a question, especially with Spring here? "No," I denied nervously, but because it came out too quickly, it ended up sounding awkward, making Mr. Eugen laugh."Nat, do you k
"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
