Nathan sneered after hanging up.It was done.When he saw Nathan in a good mood, Finn smiled as well and spoke up, “Rachel Lovette will be so mad when she finds out about this.”Lovette Group had put in massive effort just to get into the European market.However, her efforts went down the drain with only one phone call from Nathan.Rachel would never live this down.Nathan smiled nonchalantly.It would be better if she knew about this. The more furious she was, the better.What would make this situation even better was if she went to that woman for help. It would give Nathan a chance to catch her!“Continue watching her, Finn. Inform me the moment they do anything.”“Yes, Mr. Langley!” Finn nodded. “Don’t worry about it.”He had gone through so much with Nathan and had always been reliable. Nathan nodded.That was when someone gently knocked on the door of the study.Mia stood at the door holding a small plate with four muffins arranged into a flower shape.Nathan imme
The next day was Monday, and there was the weekly morning meeting at Langley Corporation.Nathan got up early and left for the office.The Langleys were present at the meeting that morning.Even Hunter and Elena were there.The meeting room was filled with people. Hunter led Elena to where James was sitting with a big smile on his face.“I’ll get you some tea, Aunt Elena.”He gave Elena the best green tea offered in the meeting room.The scent of tea lingered in the air, and there was a smile on Elena’s face.“Hunter, it’s probably time I gave you some responsibilities too.”When he heard this, Hunter quickly waved with his hands, meaning to decline.“Langley Corporation’s overseas branch is imperative to the company. I’m still young and still not prepared for such a heavy responsibility.”There was admiration in Hunter’s eyes. “I feel better with you watching over it, Aunt Elena.” This child.Elena did not say more. All she did was glance quietly at Nathan.She would no
Elena had always been a decisive person.She brought the project documents and went straight to Robert’s office.Her father was the chairman of Langley Corporation!Elena walked into the office with a grim look on her face. She placed the documents on this table.“Dad, I need you to sign this.”“Let me have a look.”Robert took the documents and read them, but he put them back with a frown.“Just let Nathan sign them. Why would you bring them to me?”These documents did not require his signature.Besides, Nathan had been the one taking care of everything in Langley Corporation for the past few years.It had been a long time since Robert got involved with minor matters like this.Elena looked even more upset at being rejected by Robert.“He refused to sign them.”“Why?”“It’s because this project requires us to work with the Silvas.”Elena told Robert angrily about what her assistant had found out.“Dad, the three top magnates are wary of us because of what Langley Corpo
Mia rubbed her cheek unhappily after being kissed by Nathan.“Daddy, your saliva is on my face.”“Are you sure?”Nathan looked at her in surprise.“Yes!”“Alright, alright. I won’t kiss you anymore.”His little princess immediately looked upset.She hugged Nathan’s arm and looked at him with big, watery eyes. “Don’t do that. I want Daddy’s kisses.”Her daddy was a naughty man!How could he refuse to kiss her anymore? Hmph!Nathan could not help kissing her again on the cheek when he saw how adorable she was.The look in his eyes softened, and an adoring smile appeared on his face.Eva quietly left them alone.Fathers always had a soft spot for their daughters. No father had ever escaped from that.The piano room was once again filled with music. This time, the father and daughter were playing it together.Eva smiled.How nice.Meanwhile, at Opaque Villa, Tyler’s men walked inside respectfully to hand him the latest news they had gathered.“This is what we found out ab
Mason drank another mouthful of hard liquor inside the office.He wanted to get drunk, but he did not feel drunk at all after drinking so many glasses.Hah.Even the liquor was against him.Mason struggled to stand as he stumbled.The office door opened when he reached out for more liquor.Queenie walked in quickly.She was in a plain, white dress. Her makeup was light, making her look docile and sweet. There was a blur in front of Mason’s eyes.Was that Eva?Did she come to see him because she missed him?He stood quietly where he was. When Queenie approached him, he grabbed her into his arms.The man’s embrace was safe and warm. He hugged Queenie tightly.This delighted Queenie.Mason was finally hugging her!Mason whispered in her ear. “Eva, you’re finally here to see me.”Queenie was dumbstruck to hear Eva’s name.Did he think she was Eva?Eva still had a place in his heart!When she heard him call out to Eva, Queenie pushed him hard.Mason stumbled. He took a
Eva could not help shaking her head when she heard his words.How else could things be between her and Nathan?They got married only because of the children.Eva took a gentle breath at this thought.Old Mr. Lane patted her head softly when he saw her this way.“You shouldn’t be overthinking things.”“Now that you’re husband and wife, you’ll be spending your lives together. Don’t be so stubborn over little matters and live your life well.”Eva felt complex emotions when Old Mr. Lane said that.Should she listen to him?Even though there had been a slight change in her relationship with Nathan, it was very minor.It was not that easy for her to fall in love with him.Eva knew that very well.All she wanted to do now was to make sure her children were living a good life. When it came to relationships, she felt nothing.The children were enough for her.Eva held Old Mr. Lane’s hand cheekily at this thought.“I understand, Grandpa. Don’t worry.”She was doing quite well now
Mia pulled Eva over to have a seat.She pointed at the soup and the bacon at the side with a proud look.“Look, Mommy, I grilled the bacon myself.”“Really?”Max said, “I wonder who was the one who helped with flipping the bacon.”Mia stuck her tongue out adorably at Max when he exposed her.She did not let him help her!They pulled Eva over to sit, but Eva did not move.She stood where she was and stared coldly at Mason.“Why didn’t you say anything before taking them away? What do you want?”Mason felt a little dazed when he heard her words.Eva’s voice was cold. It was like a knife that stabbed right through his heart.Was she mad at him?Why had he forgotten that their relationship was no longer the same as before?It was normal for her to be mad.If this was before, she would never talk to him this way.Mason began mumbling at this thought.“When have I ever asked for your permission when I wanted to take the children with me?”Eva was taken aback at this.It wa
Randy took the menu to have a look after Nathan was done ordering.“Hey, you love these dishes too. How about if I order them as well?”Smiling, he ordered a few more dishes before returning the menu to the waiter.Nathan did not object, and they began chatting.It was then that two waiters passed them by as they chatted.“Hey, did you see that pair of twins, the boy and the girl? They’re pretty.”“Where are they?”“They’re seated at the table by the window. They're really good-looking children. That man is handsome, and the woman is pretty. They’re a really good-looking family.”“Stop ogling them. They can be the most beautiful family in the world and they still won't be yours.”The waiters left while laughing.Nathan frowned.Good-looking twins who were a boy and a girl. Could they be his children?His eyes searched the tables next to the window, and he immediately spotted four people seated at the table.It was Eva, the children, and Mason Young!What was he doing ther
