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
More people began surrounding them, and Lucy looked at Eva in grievance.“Why are you treating me this way, Aunt Eva?”Eva clenched her teeth and asked, “When did I push you?”Tears welled in Lucy’s eyes. “Just now, you…”“Don’t you dare malign me!”Eva looked at her angrily. “You know very well what really happened!”Lucy paused when she heard this.Was she about to mention Mason?There were many people around, and if Eva made any mention of her relationship with Mason, not only would James and Sue be angered, but even Hunter would not let her off!Lucy began to panic.It was not long before Hunter came rushing over when he heard that something had happened to Lucy.He immediately spotted her among the crowd and ran over to her.“Are you okay, Lulu?”“I’m fine.”Lucy leaned into him pitifully, her hand gently touching her tummy. “It just hurts from the fall.”“It’s fortunate that you’re fine.”Hunter was relieved. He checked her thoroughly before he finally stopped wor
Lucy was exasperated with Hunter and quietly cursed him for his actions.She quickly tried to stop Finn when she saw him about to get the surveillance footage. “I fell because I wasn’t careful. I mistakenly thought it was Aunt Eva because I was too worried about the child inside me.“Please don’t be mad at me over this, Aunt Eva.”Lucy acted apologetic about this.If she admitted her mistake first, this could still be viewed as a misunderstanding even if they viewed the footage later.That way, no one would blame her for this.However, Eva looked at her coldly.Lucy was clearly trying to get her in trouble!“Why would I be mad?”She smiled coldly at Lucy. “Although, with so many people watching this, it'll be difficult for me to explain to others about what happened if we don’t investigate this thoroughly. It might even cause embarrassment to your Uncle Nathan.“Which is why I think it’s best to clear the air about this.”The paler Lucy was, the colder Eva was with her words
The woman smiled demurely when she heard Nathan’s question.Eva looked at her and saw that she was dressed quite classily and elegantly. Her smile was soft and sweet. Eva could not help glancing at her a few times.The woman said, “I’m here today because I heard it’s Sue’s birthday. I came to see her.”“Oh.”Nathan nodded and introduced her to Eva, “Eva, this is Rose Lawson.”Eva immediately understood their relationship.Rose was a Lawson.The Lawsons were family friends of the Langleys, and Rose had been overseas all these years.However, she had returned.Rose smiled and shook Eva’s hand. There was a warm smile on her face. “You must be Eva. I couldn’t make it back in time when I heard Nathan was getting married. What a pity.”“That’s alright. We got married in a rush.”Rose smiled when she heard this.“Time passes by really quickly. I can’t believe the young boy from when we were children is married.”Young boy?Was Nathan younger than her?Eva looked at Nathan in sl
