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
The next day, Eva woke up to a handsome face.She rubbed her eyes drowsily.“Ah!”With a yell, she quickly moved to the side to put a distance between Nathan and her.How did she end up sleeping in his arms?!One of his arms was even on her!Eva flung his arm away with a blush. Nathan suddenly opened his eyes.“Are you ditching me right after making use of me?”“I didn’t do that!”Her face turned red very quickly. She got out of bed and grabbed her robe to head to the bathroom to brush her teeth.Nathan stared at her slender figure, and a flash of disappointment appeared deep in his eyes.He had actually woken up earlier.However, he did not get up because he wanted to enjoy her warmth in his arms.He felt a little sad now that she had left his arms.Nathan got up slowly after Eva was done. After they were done cleaning up, Eva and Nathan headed downstairs for breakfast.The children were already waiting at the table.“Mommy, I poured milk for you and Daddy.”Eva went
James and Hunter entered the chairman’s office, and it turned out that Robert had some free time.“Dad.”“Grandpa.”Robert smiled when he heard their voices and waved them over.“What are the two of you doing here?”“It’s about Hunter.”James explained, “I think that Hunter now has ample experience after learning the ropes out there. It’s time he picked up management skills at the headquarters.”Robert nodded when he heard this.He had seen Hunter’s performance during this time.“Grandpa, I’ll make sure to work hard if I can get into the headquarters.”“That sounds good. Hunter is all grown up now.”Robert took a sip of his tea and agreed to this. “I’ll mention this in the shareholders’ meeting later.”“Thank you, Grandpa!”Hunter and James looked at each other. They were delighted.Robert still had a soft spot for his eldest grandson.Once Jack got demoted, there would be a vacancy for his position. James would speak up and mediate this for Hunter to end up with the pos
Lucy put away her phone and looked at Mason, who was next to her.He was still as warm and gentlemanly as usual, and there did not seem anything wrong with him.She breathed a sigh of relief.Mason had attended her wedding, and since then, she had been worried about how he was doing.She had secretly come to Scope Investments to see him as Hunter was out today.Fortunately, Mason looked to be in a stable condition. He had even shown concern for her in private. This touched Lucy greatly.She would do anything for him.“Hunter has gotten into the company’s headquarters, Mason. What should we do next?”Mason slowly put down his cup when Lucy asked the question.“Just focus on being Mrs. Langley.”He paused before looking at her tenderly. “Also, try your best to get pregnant with Hunter’s child.”She did not have much time left.Lucy understood what Mason meant and nodded.“Don’t worry, Mason. I’ll do as you say, but…”Biting her lip, a troubled look appeared on her face.“W
Eva continued to stare at the paper after the children went off.Expanding the land would bring her a lot of profit, but she did not have enough capital.Even if she applied for a loan, it would not get approved in a short time.This was making her anxious!Eva looked upset, and she was frowning. Nathan came to her side.“What’s wrong?”“Oh.”Startled by his voice, she shook her head. “Nothing.”Nathan and her got together because of the children. When it came to work, it was considered their personal issues. They should not overstep that boundary.Also, she was not willing to get a loan from him.When Eva did not reply, Nathan snuck a glance at the paper in front of her.It was filled with numbers and words like ‘roses’ and ‘butterfly orchids’.Was she calculating the flower orders and the supply cost?Frowning, he looked at it for two minutes before a smile appeared on his face.Nathan knew what this was about.The silly woman was troubled over her capital.He left qu
The news report stated clearly that Eva started with a company that sold flowers. It did not garner much attention then.Not long after that, she bought Lane Enterprise and became the CEO of the company. During that time, Lane Enterprise operated as usual with a market value of ten billion maximum.However, she soon bought over Lovette Group.Eva purchased the assets of the Lovettes, and her company grew rapidly with a breakthrough to 50 billion. Moreover, she had the support of Langley Corporation, which increased the company’s market value by three to four times.That was the beginning of her amazing capabilities.She was worth a market value of over 300 billion.The news report was exaggerated and not based on any truth, which made it even more embarrassing for Eva. Nathan pinched her face and kissed her on the cheek.“What an amazing person my woman is.”He gushed at her, “You’ll probably end up being better than me if you have enough capital.”“That’s impossible.”Eva gl
The children cheered happily when Eva agreed to it“Yay! We can finally watch our Disney movie!”They were happy about it, which made Eva feel good to see them so cheerful. Even Eugene smiled and said, “You should take the children out for some fun. It’s the first day of the company’s listing and a good day to do something fun.”Everyone agreed, and even Nathan nodded in approval. Eva smiled as they drove to Disneyland with the children.They started the day with the children’s request to watch the movie.The children loved the movie, but it was a little boring for Nathan and Eva. Fortunately, the plot was somewhat interesting, and the popcorn was delicious, which got them through it.When they walked out of the movie theater, the children were still feeling enthusiastic. Eva decided to let Nathan and Eugene take the children to have fun at the theme park.Eva was pregnant and could only be their photographer.They had a lot of fun that day, and the children had innocent yet be
Hunter was brusque with them, but Queenie was unperturbed. All she did was look back at him arrogantly.Hah!Hunter felt uncomfortable with the way she was staring at him. He was about to lose his temper when he heard her sneer, “Stop showing yourself off as a Langley for now, Hunter Langley. "I’m here to propose a lucrative partnership. I believe you’re aware that the product sold by Lane Enterprise right now is a hot commodity. Are you interested in being a part of it?”Lane Enterprise’s floral series?This perked Hunter’s interest.He knew about it, and he was very interested as well. Eva’s product was doing crazily well in the market while he, James, and Sue could only watch as she profited from it. There was nothing they could do.What could they do about this?Hunter sat opposite Queenie and Camden. He looked at them carefully before finally speaking up, “Do you have a way of getting into this business?”“Of course.”Queenie gave Camden a seductive look. Camden immedia
James sighed heavily and said in a low voice, “Your Aunt Elena has been forced out of the country by Nathan. There’s nothing we can do about it. Your grandfather has sided with Nathan, and she has no choice but to stay in Europe.”Europe.Hunter clenched his fists.Elena had been in charge of the family business in South America, and her connections were there. Sending her off to Europe meant that she had to start from scratch.Nathan was pretty ruthless to leave Hunter and Elena with nowhere to go!James was glad to see Hunter being furious about the situation. Hunter turned toward James again and asked, “What about Ruby, Dad? She can’t have been chased off as well.”It had been days since Hunter managed to contact her.There was some spark between them, and Ruby did not mind that he was divorced. She was the only woman whom Hunter felt something for in North City.James clenched his teeth at Hunter’s expectant look and nodded.“She was forced to leave the city after Sebastia
“I hope you won’t harass us anymore, Wanda Emerson.”Wanda laughed coldly at the other end of the phone when she heard Eva’s words. Eva’s words sounded more like a joke to her instead of a statement.Once she stopped laughing, she said tauntingly, “You must be imagining things. This is just the first step.”What?This was just the first step?Eva burned with fury instantly as she said with clenched teeth, “I’ve already done what you told me to. What else do you want, Wanda Emerson? I won’t give in to you!”She was not Wanda’s puppet who could be pushed around. She was a human being, a person who had a soul and was made from flesh and blood!Wanda should stop threatening her!It was as if Wanda had heard the determination in Eva’s voice. Wanda’s fingers gently fidgeted as she continued coldly, “If you don’t listen to me, I’ll lay my hands on Nathan Langley instead. It’s easy for me to poison him if I want to.”Eva lost her last strand of reason at this point.Why did Wanda hav
Eva was lying silently in bed back in the bedroom. She had not recovered, and she felt quite exhausted because she did not sleep the night before. All she wanted right now was to have a good rest.Nathan opened the door gently.“Eva.”He called out softly. Eva quickly sat up and hurried up to her to help. He did not want her to exhaust herself.“Did I disturb your rest?”“No, you didn’t.”Eva sighed gently. “My mind is occupied with something, and I couldn’t sleep. Nathan, can you chat with me for a while?”“Sure.”Nathan sat next to her, and his palm gently brushed down her hair. She felt ticklish and laughed softly.They were silent for a while before Nathan spoke up.“Didn’t you have something to say to me?”“I did.”Eva lay next to him and said in a low voice, “I thought about it last night, Nathan. Lane Enterprise has just begun developing, and our foundation isn’t stable. "If Langley Corporation is able to work with Lane Enterprise, it'll be a big help to us. I’d st
Eva did not notice Rose. All she did was clench her phone tight.She was waiting for Wanda’s answer.Why did she want Eva and Nathan to have cross-shareholding? Even if she did that, she would only own 5% of Langley Corporation’s shares. Why did Wanda want her to become a shareholder of Langley Corporation?Multiple questions appeared in her mind, and Eva felt like her head was about to explode. However, she took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down as she listened quietly.Wanda was silent for a few minutes before saying coldly.“You don’t need to know the reason.”A simple sentence was enough to destroy Eva’s hope. She clenched her teeth and forced herself to calm down as she growled at Wanda.“What did the Langleys ever do to you? You’ve been plotting all of this from the very start. Are you trying to use me against the Langleys?” Wanda sneered when she heard this. “You guessed right.”Her laugh was cold. It was like a dagger that stabbed right through Eva’s heart
Scott chatted with everyone for a while before pulling Nathan away to talk in private.“I need help, Nathan.”Scott said to him in a low voice, “What should I do when meeting the parents for the first time?”Meeting the parents?Nathan looked at him in astonishment. When he saw how serious Scott was and how he did not look like he was joking, Nathan began to advise him carefully about this. “You need to make this grand and prepare gifts that they like. Also, be polite and respectful. Any other things are fine. The most important thing to do is to leave them with a good impression.”“Alright.”Scott made a note of everything Nathan said. Nathan smiled teasingly when he saw how seriously Scott was taking this. “Why are you so anxious about this?”“Of course, I am. She’s perfect in every way. I don’t want to lose her.”Scott’s eyes were filled with adoration and happiness when he replied this. Nathan felt happy for Scott when he saw Scott looking this way.As long as Scott was
Nathan was being honest.After the trial ended and Jadora was out of the picture, the floral series became a hot commodity in the market. Client demand had soared several times over.“The cosmetics market yields a high profit, and Langley Corporation has always wanted a piece of the pie. But Lane Enterprise got into it first. If you’re agreeable, I would love it if our companies could work on it together.”Moreover, they were husband and wife.Nathan would not be able to trust another business partner completely, but it was different with Eva.When Eva saw the adoring look in his eyes, her decision to get him to invest began to waver.Did she really want to do what Wanda said?Even though she had no idea what Wanda wanted, she was sure that Wanda wanted to attack Langley Corporation. She would be relentless about it.Getting Eva to obtain shares from Langley Corporation might be the first step in Wanda’s plan to destroy Nathan.Eva could not allow this!She clenched her teeth
