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
Nathan showed Eva the invitation after receiving it.“Do you want to go?" He looked at her in concern. “I can reject the invitation if you don’t feel like going.”It was not his grandfather's or father’s party. This was just Sue Evans.They were not obligated to attend the party.When she saw how nonchalant he was about this, Eva shook her head in exasperation.“Let’s attend it together on that day.”She was his wife now, and she could not avoid such things forever.Eva would need to face all this one day.Nathan smiled when Eva accepted the invitation. There was a happy glint in his eye.Eva smiled and said to him, “By the way, I’ll prepare her birthday present. I’ll put together some flowers personally and deliver them to Sue.”They would need flowers and flower baskets as decorations for the party.Nathan and Sue were considered from the same generation, and it was difficult to get an appropriate gift for her. Flowers seemed like a good idea.Nathan nodded approvingly.
Sue looked upset, and the look in Hunter’s eyes turned dark.The birthday party would be a joke without fresh flowers!Even Lucy did not express much.James frowned when he saw how unhappy Sue and Hunter were.“If you find it difficult to reach out to her, I’ll talk to Nathan.”Sue nodded. She said nothing, but she still looked upset.This was all she could do for now.The flower suppliers refused to supply her with fresh flowers with the excuse that they had run out of flowers.If they refused to reach out to Nathan and Eva, the birthday party would lack flowers and that would be embarrassing!James called Nathan on the phone.“Nathan, I need to talk to you about something.”“Go ahead.”“Sue’s birthday party has to be organized properly, but the flower suppliers told us they're out of fresh flowers due to huge demand. Does Eva still have any stock?”Hah.This was the call he had been waiting for.Nathan clutched his phone slightly and said coldly, “She does. Do you want
The guests begin to fawn over Nathan and his family. The attention had been taken away from Hunter and Lucy.Lucy was fine with it, but Hunter frowned.That family had taken the spotlight from them!He watched as the guests approached Nathan to chat, and Hunter clenched his fists.It was not long before Sue began noticing this.That family of four stole the spotlight again!Sue’s rage seethed inside of her, and she quickly went over to them.Nathan and Eva had the children with them, and they were chatting with the guests.“I can’t believe you’re here, Mr. Langley.”Randy smiled as he came over to them. He gave Nathan a glass of red wine. “I thought this was going to be a boring party.”“Of course, I'd be here.” Nathan clinked classes with him. “I'll always attend any birthday party of the Langleys.”“That’s nice.”Randy drank the red wine in his glass and smiled at the children.They were outstanding-looking children. It was not difficult to see why Nathan doted on them s
Today was Sue’s birthday.If Nathan and Elena really started arguing here, they would not be the only ones who would be embarrassed.James and Sue looked anxiously at them. They were trying to figure out what to say when Robert spoke up coldly, “Enough!”He berated Elena, “What are you talking about?! What did I teach you both? A family needs to stand together if they want to prosper! Who are you trying to show off to at a birthday party?”Robert lectured them without holding back. Elena lowered her head in resentment and admitted her mistake.“This is my fault. I’m sorry, Dad.”“It’s good of you to admit this.”Robert turned to Nathan, and his tone became softer. “Elena isn't wrong. You have to let go of things when the time is right. You’ve taken care of the company for so many years. It’s time for you to relax.“You’ve just only gotten the children back. It'll be good for them if you spend more time with them.”Nathan understood this.“I know.”He looked impassive about t
