Eva returned to the main house and lay limply on the sofa.After visiting several investment companies, she was mentally exhausted even though it was not really physically tiring.She relaxed for a few minutes before calling Nathan on the phone.After he picked it up, she heard his deep voice that was as melodious as the cello coming from the other end of the call. She felt refreshed by it and slowly smiled.“Thank you, Nathan. I did it. Convergence Investments has agreed to invest two million in my project.”“Congratulations.”“Let me buy you and Finn dinner tonight to thank both of you for helping me out!”Eva said this with a smile. She was enthusiastic about it, but Nathan’s face fell at the other end of the phone.She wanted to buy dinner for him and Finn?Nathan was the one helping her. What did this have to do with Finn?Finn was perking up his ears to listen in to the conversation when Nathan turned to look at Finn thoughtfully.There was a cold glint in his boss’ ey
“Congratulations, Eva.”“Mommy, congratulations to you.”Smiling, Eva picked up her glass to return the toast to all three of them. “Thank you.”Nathan and Eva drank the red wine while the children gulped down their juice.After that, all four of them began digging into their meal. The children were still too young, and Eva patiently helped them peel the shrimps, deshell the scallops, and prepare the crab meat.The children ate happily, but she did not eat much.She suddenly noticed her plate was filled with crab meat that had been peeled for her. She looked up and saw Nathan staring at her.This made Eva feel a little awkward.“You should eat too.”Nathan clinked glasses with her and coughed softly. “What are your next plans?”When it came to talking about work, Eva immediately became focused.“I’ll be reclaiming the land and planting boutique flowers, of course!”Eva began talking about it excitedly. “I’ve already decided on the land to reclaim. It’s not far from Cloudy H
Nathan’s arm was on her waist.Half of his body was on hers. No wonder it felt so heavy!Eva pouted as she carefully moved his arm away.The moment she lifted it, the man opened his eyes in a daze.“Morning.”Eva felt her cheek turn slightly hot when she looked into his deep eyes.Memories from last night begin to flood into her mind.Did she… let him kiss her?She also said she would let him take advantage of her when she was in a happy mood?How embarrassing!She turned to look away in embarrassment and accidentally caught him smiling.“Stop smiling!”The woman was mad, which only served to amuse Nathan even further.“Fine, I’ll stop smiling. Are you happy right now? Can I take advantage of you again?”Eva gritted her teeth in anger when she heard his teasing tone.She clenched her fists and glared at him.“How could you take advantage of the situation?!”“I didn’t.”Nathan sat up slowly. The blanket slipped off of him to reveal his exquisite collarbone.It was sex
Eva gripped her phone hard and lowered her voice. She asked icily, “What do you want?”Woah, that was a huge reaction to Raven.Raven smiled. “Don’t be nervous. I was just told to ask you why you didn't use the 300 million given to you and chose to get investors instead?”Eva snorted coldly.“What does this have to do with you? I don’t want anything from that woman!”The 300 million Raven was talking about was the money delivered to Eva by Raven and Tyler on her wedding day.Inside the underground garage of Cloudy Hills Estate were all of the luxury cars Wanda had given Eva. The property and car deeds were all inside the cars, and even the bank card with the 300 million was in there.However, Eva never touched any of it.She did not care for them at all.Eva did not want anything from that woman!Raven smiled when she heard Eva being so resistant against Wanda. “This might have nothing to do with me, but Aunt Wanda won’t be happy with you acting this way.”“Her unhappiness h
It was 5:30 pm when Eva parked her car outside Elite International Bilingual Kindergarten.A few minutes later, all of the kindergarten children rushed out in excitement with Miss Cheney and Miss Linderman watching over them.Eva immediately spotted Max and Mia, who were next to Miss Cheney.“Mia, Max!”She smiled and waved at both of them. The children immediately rushed to her side when they heard her voice.“Mommy!”They called out to her in unison and jumped into her arms.Eva breathed in gently, taking in the sweet scent of milk on them. She kissed them on their cheeks happily.She brought them into the car, but the children looked left and right in search of Nathan.“Where’s Daddy?”Mia gently tugged on her braid. “Why didn’t Daddy come to pick us up?”They had gotten used to Nathan chauffeuring them to and from school recently.It felt strange not to see Nathan around.Eva closed the door and explained, “Your daddy is busy with work tonight. He can’t pick you up.”
“How about another round?”A smile appeared on Nathan’s lips as he provoked Julian with a taunting look.“Hit me!”Julian clenched his teeth. “I don’t believe I won’t win something tonight!”He went head-to-head with Nathan and insisted on continuing the poker game. Tristan and Connor could not help covering their eyes.They could not bear to see the results!It was past eight in the morning by the time they were done.Julian was depressed as he entered the room Finn had prepared for him and fell onto the bed head first.“You’re inhuman, Nathan Langley!”He howled sadly. “How could you take my money like this? I’ll never play poker with you again!”His howling echoed all over Dragon Court, making the other three burst into laughter.This rascal always said that after losing money, but he was the one who insisted on playing poker every single time.All four of them had stayed up the entire night. Now that the game had ended, they returned to their rooms for some sleep.Mean
Someone was already reaching out to Max to join a professional team?Nathan raised his eyebrow slightly.“Who is that?”“It’s this person. He says his club is called KR.”Max quickly gave his contact to Nathan.Nathan forwarded the information to Finn.Three minutes later, Nathan received a comprehensive document detailing the background of KR Club.KR Club was one of the biggest gaming clubs in the country. They were ranked sixth on the esports club rankings and were quite well-known.This proved Max’s ability and talents in esports as a club like this was interested in him. They even approached him personally to join them.His son was outstanding!Nathan smiled and rubbed Max’s hair gently.“Not bad. You’re pretty incredible.”“Of course! It’s because I’m Max Lane.”Max puffed up his little chest. “I’d like to join a club and become a professional gamer too, Daddy.”Huh?Nathan looked at him and carefully contemplated this. He nodded in agreement.This little guy did
“We’ve memorized everything!”The children replied in unison and began reciting what they memorized out loud.A smile appeared on the tutor’s face while listening to them. The tutor nodded in satisfaction.Their studies were progressing well.Eva rubbed her cheeks numbly outside the door.When their lesson was over, Eva pulled the tutor aside while the tutor was walking out.“I’d like to find out about the children’s lesson progress.” Eva looked at her seriously, “Please give me your honest feedback.”“No problem, Mrs. Langley.”The tutor smiled and said, “The children have a photographic memory and are very good at remembering information. They can remember lessons very well if they focus, and it makes their study process even easier.“They also have strong comprehension and are good at problem-solving.”The tutor concluded, “It has been many years since I taught such intelligent children.”Were they that amazing?This excited Eva as she smiled and walked the tutor out.
