Lucy walked out of the bathroom after coming to this decision.Hunter was in a bathrobe outside, seated on the sofa. He was enjoying some wine.Lucy’s expression changed to a shy one as she went close to him. “It’s getting late, Hunter. I'd better stay the night.” Hunter was delighted. “Sounds good. I’ll arrange a room for you.” …It was late at night at Cloudy Hills Estate. Eva had already gone to sleep.Her phone suddenly rang furiously, startling her awake.She quickly picked up the call and heard Mason slurring from the other end.He sounded like he was drunk and could not speak clearly. He could not even utter a proper sentence.Frowning, Eva asked, “Is there anything you need, Mason?” Mason was too drunk to respond properly. It took him a lot of effort to say, “Eva, we need to talk…”Before he could finish, there was a slam. It sounded like he had dropped the phone.After that, there was a muffled bump heard from the other end of the phone.It sounded like he ha
Nathan headed over to Cloudy Hills Estate early the next day.Eva hardly slept last night, and there were dark circles under her eyes.Nathan did not comment on it when he noticed them. All he said was, “You should get ready. We’re going over to the Lane household later.”“Why are we going over there?”Eva looked a little down. She seemed tired as well.Nathan felt a little helpless about it. “We shouldn’t be planning the wedding in such a careless manner. We have to do this the right way and get married in a proper and legitimate manner.”Eva was taken aback. That was when she noticed the car outside was filled with gifts.She was astounded to see that.There was also the fact that she had not mentioned her impending marriage to Eugene.Old Mr. Lane appeared. He was happy to see Nathan treating the wedding seriously and formally. He gave Eva a push. “What are you waiting for, silly girl? Hurry up and get dressed.”“Oh, okay.”Eva was left with no choice but to get dressed a
Queenie looked like she was sleeping next to Mason, but she had already woken up earlier.She pretended to be asleep because she wanted to find out what Mason's reaction would be.Queenie began to feel worried when he made no sound or movement.She had no idea how Mason would handle this situation.This was not what she wanted!Queenie began to feel anxious and decided to pretend to wake up.Sensing her movement, Mason's gaze slowly fell onto her face.They ended up staring at each other. Queenie initially looked blank, but her cheeks suddenly flushed red, and she looked extremely shy.“You’re awake?”She sounded coquettish, and her tone was soft. Anyone who heard her would have felt weak in the limbs.Mason had no idea what to say to her. He spoke up hoarsely, “Last night…”Queenie bit her lower lip as she looked shyly and sensuously at him. “You called me last night when you got drunk. I brought you here to rest for the night, but you suddenly…”She paused and did not con
Eva smiled when she heard that.To Mia, her daddy was probably the best in everything.However, it was true. That man was outstanding in every way!The doorbell suddenly rang.A stylist’s assistant quickly went to open the door.Lucy was seen dragging her complicated dress into the room.Her chest was puffed up, and her face looked exquisite. She walked haughtily.Eva was surprised to see her, but she quickly frowned.What was this woman doing here?She clearly did not want to see Lucy, which was why her reaction was cool. “Is there anything you need?”Lucy looked her up and down. When she saw that Eva had not even put on her wedding dress, Lucy said, “You’re really slow, aren’t you? The wedding is about to start and you haven’t even worn your dress.”“It’s alright as long as there's ample time.”Eva replied nonchalantly.Her attitude upset Lucy.She turned to glance at Eva’s wedding dress.Eva’s dress was handpicked by Nathan. The design looked simple as Eva had not yet
The bride had exquisite features, and the light makeup on her was stunning.Her brows were immaculate, and her eyes were filled with life. She had a tall, straight nose and pretty red lips. She was a perfect match for Nathan Langley, and it was quite apparent with her standing next to him. They were the epitome of a match made in heaven.The entire hall turned silent.After that, numerous people began exclaiming, “That bride is gorgeous!” If Lucy was an elegant bride, then Eva was an absolutely stunning presence.Those with a sharp eye immediately recognize the wedding dress on Eva. “Oh my god! If memory serves me right, that wedding dress is the final work of a great designer from Milan, Mina. It’s worth more than five million! "There's only one design in the world, and it was previously bought by a known collector. The princess of X Country wanted to borrow it for a party, but her request was rejected. I can’t believe the dress is making an appearance here!” “Also, that tia
However, he held back the impulse!After they were done toasting the main table, the newlyweds began entertaining the other guests as each pair went their respective ways on the left and right.Eva was a little worried. “What should I do? I can’t really hold my liquor.”Nathan smiled. “I know you can’t. I’ve made preparations for that. You’ll be drinking water and other non-alcoholic drinks after this. Don’t worry.”Eva was relieved to hear that. It also warmed her heart to know that he was being considerate of her.She had no idea a cold and distant man like him could be such a gentleman!Next, she followed Nathan around to give toasts to various guests.However, Eva did not expect Mason to appear at the wedding!He was seated at the table near the door with Queenie. Mason was in a suit, and he looked dapper and gentlemanly. He did not look too different than he usually did.Queenie had made the effort to dress up as well. She looked quite like a socialite.When they saw Eva
Mason clenched his fists tight.Queenie could feel his body trembling. She quickly grabbed his hand and said softly, “Have something to eat, Mason. It’s not worth getting angry over someone like her.”Mason said nothing. He picked up a glass of liquor quietly and gulped it down.He wanted to drink. The hard liquor burned his throat, and his heart fell apart from the pain. This was a memorial for the love he once had for Eva.All Mason wanted to do was get drunk!Eva no longer cared what happened with Mason.There were many guests at their wedding, and Nathan led her to give toasts at each table.Eva was smiling graciously throughout and was polite to everyone.She was beautiful, charming, and poised, which earned her plenty of praise from the guests.Nathan’s heart softened at the sight of her.It was at that moment when two unwelcome guests appeared at the wedding.The man had a carefree attitude and a devilish smile on his face. He acted like an unbridled rich boy.As for
“She left back then without asking for anything. How could she get rich in such a short time?!”Pamela acted like she was entranced as she could not stop mumbling about this. She stared at the huge screen with a dazed look in her eye. Her nails dug deep into her palms.This could not be true!The dowry Wanda gave Eva was enough for everyone to know that even the Lanes were not good enough to work for Wanda.She had been gone for so many years after abandoning her husband and daughter. How did she get so much money?Queenie was also staring at the screen. She felt like she was about to go crazy.Why was that slut so lucky? Was it because she was the oldest daughter of the Lanes?Without Eva, could Queenie have ended up being the one to marry Mr. Langley? Would all those gifts be for her?Slut! That damned slut!Unlike the Lanes, Robert, who was seated on the table, rubbed his chin happily when he saw Eva’s massive dowry. He nodded gently.This daughter-in-law of his was not ba
