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.
Meanwhile, at Cloudy Hills Estate, Eva was happily tending to the flowers in her garden.Nathan had filled the garden with Arabian Jasmines and Lady Slipper Orchids. There were also the crab cactuses she had planted.These flowers were high-end and valuable, and there was no room to be callous with them.Yelena helped her out at the side.It was then that an unwanted guest arrived at Cloudy Hills Estate. It was Mason.He was holding a huge batch of seedlings. They looked like crab cactuses, and he was walking toward Eva with a bleak look on his face.“Eva.”He handed her the seedlings and said softly, “These seedlings are compensation for you.”Compensation?Eva glanced at him coldly. She immediately realized what they were for.He was here to compensate for the crab cactuses Queenie had destroyed the last time.Unfortunately for him, she did not want them.“That's not necessary.”Eva rejected him coldly, saying, “I’ve said it before, Mr. Young. I never want to see you her
Eva had managed a flower shop for many years, and putting a bouquet together was not difficult for her.She had a beautiful bouquet of tulips and lilies in her hand in less than five minutes.Eva looked at it with satisfaction. She handed the bouquet to Yelena and quickly went off to change.She could not be wearing her dirty work clothes to see Nathan’s sister.After Eva changed and got the bouquet, Nathan had also arrived in his car.She brought the bouquet into the car and showed it to him with a smile.“What do you think?”“Not bad.”Nathan replied casually and stepped on the accelerator.Meanwhile, on the North City Second Ring Road, a black Porsche Cayenne was speeding along. Hunter and Lucy were seated inside.They were also on their way to the airport.Lucy was dressed appropriately and looked quite classy. She turned to Hunter and asked curiously.“What's your Aunt Elena’s temperament like?”“Normal.”Frowning, Hunter explained, “Aunt Elena is Grandpa’s only daug
The cold look in Nathan’s eyes shot straight at Elena.She was unperturbed and grabbed the bouquet in her hands tightly. She looked coldly at Eva with a small smile.“I’m sorry, I already have a bouquet. I don’t have space for another.”Eva nodded when she heard this.“That’s okay.”She put away her bouquet in embarrassment, looking disconcerted about it.It seemed like the third sibling of the Langleys would not be easy to get along with.Nathan noticed Eva’s embarrassment and frowned slightly. He took the bouquet from her.Huh?Eva looked at him in slight surprise. There was a cold look on his face.“These flowers look lovely. They'll look nice in a vase on our living table.”Nathan swept a glance at Elena, Lucy, and Hunter before speaking coldly.“You put this bouquet together with your own hands. It’s a waste to give them to someone else.”Elena’s face fell when she heard that. He was directing this at her!She glared frostily at Nathan. There was viciousness in her
“Now that Elena’s home, I’ll be taking Eva and the children out for a meal.”Nathan was about to leave with Eva and the children.However, Robert quickly stopped them.“It’s rare for our family to get together. Stay, Nathan.”Our family?Nathan snorted coldly. “I don’t think so.”He did not stay and left with Eva and the children.Robert wanted to continue talking him out of it, but Old Mr. Langley waved him down.“Let him leave. He won’t be happy if he stays back.”Old Mr. Langley looked coldly at Elena before walking away with a huff.The atmosphere was tense, and Elena bit her lip. She stayed quiet.Inside the Black Rolls-Royce, the children sat on each side of Eva.The car sped quickly on the road, and the children did not look very happy.They must have been affected by Elena’s attitude.Taking a deep breath, Eva wondered if she should be comforting the children.They were intelligent children who had high emotional intelligence. They were usually obedient and under
