“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
About ten minutes later, Nathan received Finn’s report.“I’m sorry, Mr. Langley. Tyler Sullivan gave us the slip. We lost them.”Finn finished reporting in fear. His head was lowered as he did not dare to look at Nathan. He kept staring at his feet.Their men had actually failed!Nathan did not care about the process. All he wanted were the results. It was impossible that he would not be angry.“Alright.”Nathan replied coldly, “Continue searching for them.”His voice got frostier, like a dagger to the heart. “If you lose them again…”Before he finished, Finn quickly bowed and made a solemn promise. “Don’t worry, Mr. Langley!”Finn left immediately after that.He would not be able to face Nathan if he were to fail at tracking them down.Nathan stood coldly where he was after Finn left. He was frowning while contemplating something.Eva sighed gently.Was he worried about Wanda’s conspiracies and schemes?It was only normal for him to get worried after seeing how generous
Eva asked softly, “Have you always had gastric problems?”“Yes.”Nathan nodded subtly as his finger gently rubbed against the glass.He had been busy taking over the company, and there was also socializing to do when one was a businessman. Nathan did not eat or rest at regular hours, which eventually made him suffer from gastric problems.Nathan had never taken special care of this.Every time he suffered from gastric pain, he would just get Finn to hand him a couple of pills. He would continue with work after taking them.Nathan had gotten used to this.Eva suddenly felt angry when she saw Nathan’s blasé attitude toward this.“Why would you drink if you know you have this problem?”The petite lady sounded stern while Nathan just shook his head nonchalantly.“It’s not every day that I get married.”This was the most important day of his life. It was only normal that he wanted to drink on this occasion.Moreover, there were many guests, and he had to entertain them.Eva was
The Langleys were taken aback, and Old Mr. Langley was the first one to burst out laughing.“Haha! It’s good to wake up late! We’ll have more children running in the house soon!”He looked adoringly at the children who were sticking close to Eva. They made him feel happy.This was a great-granddaughter-in-law that he approved of. She came from a good family and gave Nathan twins the moment she married into the family. She deserved a lot of credit!The children were just so lovable.If they could only give birth to two more…Old Mr. Langley’s thoughts were written on his face, and Eva’s cheeks burned.Mia looked up with her bright eyes that looked as pure as an elk in the forest. She said sweetly, “Mommy, I’d like a younger brother or sister.”“Mommy, I’d like one too. Can you and Daddy give us a younger sibling?”Max hugged Eva.Even Eva’s neck turned red when the children began begging her for a sibling.Nathan smiled without helping her out of this. Eva glared at him.He
Eva informed Yelena to pack up their things after bringing the children into Cloudy Hills Estate.Yelena was surprised but smiled and nodded after that.“What would you like me to help you pack, Miss Eva? I’ll put them together now.”“It would mainly be Max and Mia’s clothes and things.”Eva gave her detailed instructions. “I’ll be coming back often to take care of the flowers. For myself, I’ll just be packing some clothes over.”“Alright, Miss Eva. Leave it to me.”Yelena went upstairs to start packing. Old Mr. Lane heard them talking and came downstairs with a walking cane.Eva quickly went up to help him when she saw Old Mr. Lane coming down.“Are you moving to Nathan’s place now?”“Yes, Grandpa. I’m going to pack our things first.”Eva could not bear to leave him, but she followed Yelena upstairs after informing him about it softly.She was worried about leaving her grandfather here by himself, but she could not bring him along to Nathan’s house, nor could she allow him
Back in Thriving Dragon Bay, Eva and the children were already getting dizzy looking at the huge villa.Their luggage had been settled, and they were in the middle of picking rooms.Mia pulled Max along with her excitedly as she carefully inspected the middle of the living room.“Daddy, Mommy, I want the room on the second floor.”She pointed at the middle room on the second floor and said to Nathan and Eva, “It has the best sunlight.”Mia loved it when her room was warm and toasty.“Can I have the room next to Mia?”Max pointed at the room on the left. “It’s easier to help her look out for the stairs if I’m nearer to her.”What a little gentleman he was.Eva rubbed his head gently and turned to look at Nathan.The children needed his permission for their rooms.“Don’t worry, the rooms have already been cleaned up.”Nathan nodded gently. There was a loving look in his eyes.The children had stayed at Thriving Dragon Bay before and he knew which rooms they wanted to pick.
Nathan quickly adjusted his emotions.He frowned slightly at the sight of the broom in Eva’s hands.Was she unhappy with the cleaning of the domestic help?Thriving Dragon’s Bay’s domestic help was not allowed to be so irresponsible with their work!“Do you need to be cleaning up on your own?”His tone was cool as he stared at her. Eva looked at the broom in her hand and realized what he meant.Nathan had misunderstood.“It’s not the domestic help’s fault. I’m the one who has an obsession with cleaning up.”This was Eva’s habit. Even if her room had been cleaned up nicely by someone else, she would still clean it up again with her own two hands.She did not look like she was lying, so Nathan nodded.The children woke up after their nap, and Nathan had also kept his emotions in check. He planned to take Eva and the children around Thriving Dragon Bay.“It would be nice to visit the place.”Eva’s fingers fidgeted as she agreed to it.This was Nathan’s territory, and she was
After Eva returned to the room, Nathan frowned and began contemplating something. After he was done with his work, he headed downstairs to pour her a glass of milk.The milk was warm and was perfect to drink before going to bed. It would help with a good night’s sleep.She must be exhausted today.Eva took off her clothes very quickly inside the bathroom.“It’s so comfortable to be having a hot shower.”Eva hummed happily.After she was done showering, she felt all the tension leaving her body. She wrapped herself in the towel and reached out habitually to the right.There was nothing.Oh no! She forgot to bring in her pajamas!She must have been too exhausted to remember that she was no longer at Cloudy Hills Estate!“Am I supposed to sleep with only a robe on without my pajamas?”Eva shook her head hard.“Forget about it. I’ll just put on some clothes first and get someone to deliver the pajamas to me.”She poked her head out worriedly. Fortunately, no one was in the roo
