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
When he saw Eva leaving, Nathan quickly carried Mia in his arms and followed behind.Mason got flustered.He called out to her. “Eva, are you leaving just like that? We haven’t had cake yet.”“You can have it on your own, Mr. Young.”Eva walked out of the restaurant without looking back.Mason clenched his fists as he watched her slender figure walk away.Why?Every time he thought that she finally cared about him, Nathan would appear and give him a hard dose of reality.He was nothing to Eva!The family of four quickly left the restaurant. Finn was surprised to see them walk out and came up to them.Mr. Langley was supposed to be with a client.Why did he end up walking out with Mrs. Langley and the children?However, he had worked with Nathan for a long time and immediately sensed that Nathan was not in a good mood. He was smart enough to choose to be silent.“Go in and accompany Randy Lake.”Nathan instructed him coldly as he led Eva to her car.He would be driving th
Before Queenie could finish her sentence, a bodyguard raised his hand up high.A crisp slap was heard. Queenie’s head tilted to the side from the impact, and she felt the corner of her mouth hurt.There was a bloody and salty scent, and Queenie felt something warm on her mouth. After licking it, she screamed like a pig about to be slaughtered.“I’m bleeding!”Nathan glared coldly at her, and she immediately shut up.It hurt!This man did not sympathize with her just because she was a woman. He took action when he felt like it, and even Mason was nothing in his eyes.Queenie was really scared.When he saw her finally acting obediently, Nathan spoke to her coldly.“The next time I hear you bad-mouth Eva, it won’t be just a simple slap.”Queenie trembled.It was then that Mason approached them.He was just done with dinner and even had a couple of bites of the cake. By the time he realized it, Nathan’s men had already caught hold of Queenie.She was someone he was making use
Mason raised his eyes to look at Lucy when she asked him the question in concern. He did not say anything.She had no right to question how he lived his life.“Why are you here?”Lucy was reminded of something when Mason asked her the question. She gave him a box that she had been holding.It was exquisite and had a nice feel to it.Mason looked at it from under the street lights outside his house. He frowned at Lucy.“What’s this?”“It’s your present. I picked it specially for you. It’s a pair of cufflinks.”Lucy smiled warmly at him. “Happy birthday, Mason.”Oh, they were cufflinks.Mason did not say anything. He nodded gently and put the box into his pocket.“Thank you.”He felt a little dizzy from drinking too much and was stumbling.Lucy quickly helped him up.“Why did you drink so much? You should take better care of yourself."She shook her head slightly and helped him inside the house. She helped him to the sofa before going to get him a glass of hot water.Lucy
