“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
After Nathan left with Eva and the children, the family dinner at Langley Manor continued.Old Mr. Langley looked upset, which made Elena feel a little awkward.James and his family kept checking in with her. It helped soothe Elena.Sue even sat next to her intimately.“I remember bouillabaisse being your favorite dish, Elena.”Sue placed the dish in front of Elena with a gentle smile. “You should have more.”“Thank you, Sue.”Elena smiled and started eating.There was no emotional change in her eyes.Bouillabaisse was a dish she used to enjoy years ago.However, she stopped eating it since that person met with an accident.Elena had her head lowered, so Sue could not see her face. Lucy, however, caught the look on Elena’s face from the side.She did not like the dish?Lucy gave this some thought and quietly nudged Hunter’s arm.Hunter immediately got the message and pushed over a plate of Tuscan kale salad.“Lulu recommends this dish, Aunt Elena.”Smiling, he said to E
He flung the documents onto the table. The look in Mason’s eyes was sharp and cold.“The warning isn’t necessary.”Tyler had clearly gotten orders from Aunt Wanda if he was secretly helping the three top magnates of North City.If Nathan planned to take them down, the implications would be huge.“Scope Investments has just only stabilized. We need to stay low for a while. We’ll pick an appropriate time to strike them.”Sean nodded when he heard this.Mason was right.What exactly was Aunt Wanda planning?As he was contemplating this, Sean said to Mason in a low voice, “Aunt Wanda has been setting up Eva Lane since before. Now that Eva has married into the Langleys, Aunt Wanda is ganging up with the three top magnates secretly.“Is she trying to destroy the Langleys?”Sean frowned. “How much does Aunt Wanda hate her daughter?”A bewildered look flashed in Mason’s eyes after listening to Sean.He did not understand it either.Mason used to understand the reason behind Aunt W
Eva smiled when she saw how adorable the children were.She lifted the brownies above their little heads and purposely swung them gently.“Look.”“Wow, brownies!”They cheered and gave her pitiful looks. “We want to eat them, Mommy.”“Go ahead.”Eva gave the brownies to them, and they quickly ran off with the brownies with bright smiles on their faces.The brownies were sweet. As Mia gently dug up a mouthful of melted chocolate from them, she could not help asking in a whisper, “Max, do you think something good happened to Mommy?”They were still growing, and Eva was usually strict with them when it came to sweets.Yet, she had bought them brownies today.This was unusual!Max held his hand to his chin like a little adult and nodded subtly.“Uh-huh. I think so too.”After that, they turned to look at Eva in unison.“Mommy, what’s the happy occasion?”Eva burst out laughing and poked them on the foreheads.“I can’t hide anything from both of you. I completed an order tod
