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
His cool voice snapped Eva out of her daze.“Ah!”The woman’s scream filled the room.“Why did you walk out without wearing anything?!”Eva blushed furiously and turned her head away quickly. She buried her face in her palms and forced herself not to look at him.Nathan found it funny to see her this way. However, he did not dare to laugh out loud but coughed gently instead.“Fine, I’ll get my clothes.”“Hurry up!” Eva pushed him to be quick as she shut her eyes tight. “You have to put on your clothes after showering no matter what, even if it's just your pajamas!”She was completely against seeing his muscles when she least expected it.It was embarrassing!“If that doesn’t work, just wait for me in the bathroom and I’ll get your clothes for you!”“Alright.”Nathan laughed and agreed. “I’ll go put on my clothes.”Eva heard some rustling. She kept her head lowered and her eyes shut. She did not want to listen or think about what he was doing.However, she could not help
The first thing Eva did when she woke up was to look beside her.It was empty. Nathan had already gotten up.She yawned and was about to go brush her teeth when Nathan pushed the door and walked in.He was wearing a black high-end bespoke suit matched with a tie of the same style. The Patek Philippe watch on his wrist looked shiny and matched his elegant good looks.“Why are you dressed up?”Eva scratched her head. “Do you have an important function today?”Nathan glanced at her. He sounded amused. “You didn’t forget, did you?”“What did I forget?”“We’re going to your father’s house today,” Nathan reminded her.“Oh!”Eva hit herself on the head. “I totally forgot about that. This is bad. I didn’t prepare anything!”This would have completely slipped her mind if Nathan had not mentioned it.Going over to her father’s house?Eva’s pretty brows furrowed slightly.Should she get some high-end gifts and get this over with?She did not like that family anyway.Nathan found i
Eugene got anxious. Nathan did not embarrass him, and all he did was speak coolly.“I’m sorry. I don’t drink black tea.”“Oh, I didn't know that. Queenie told me that both you and Mr. Young enjoyed black tea, so I specially got it for both of you. How about… I'll make another type of tea for you. What would you prefer?”Nathan smiled.“Anything but black tea.”Mason raised an eyebrow when he heard this.This was directed at Mason.Mason enjoyed black tea. It nourished and warmed the body. Black tea looked mild on the surface, but it packed a punch after drinking it. It was a tea that sat very well with him.He did not expect Nathan to disregard the tea with a second thought.Mason put his cup down, and his tone sounded a little cold.“Mr. Langley must be used to good tea and no longer appreciates ordinary tea like this.”“That’s right.”Nathan replied casually, “Tea reflects the person who drinks them.”Only an inferior person like him would enjoy ordinary black tea like t
Queenie got even more arrogant when Mason stood protectively in front of her.She was right. Mason did have a place in his heart for her.Queenie felt gleeful when she saw the look of disbelief on Eva’s face.“That’s right. I wasn’t wrong about you, Eva. That’s all there is to a slut like you.”“Shut up!”Eva yelled at her before turning to look at Mason.She found him more of a stranger than ever before.He was the one who humiliated her by getting together with Queenie, and now, he was claiming that she was the one who abandoned him.There must be something wrong with him!She did not really know Mason anymore.While the three of them were facing down one another, the children watched worriedly.“Mommy is getting bullied, Max. We should go there right now.”Mia pulled Max along to give Eva help, but Max held her back.“Don’t.”He whispered to Mia, “We shouldn’t give Mommy more trouble. Look, Daddy’s here.”With their daddy around, nothing would happen to their mommy.
