It was then that the police arrived as well.Mason and Lucy explained everything to them.He said coldly, “Sir, you have to investigate this thoroughly. Even though the child was found, this was not a misunderstanding. He took the child with him without permission. This was done on purpose. When I found them in the basement of the shopping mall next door, that man quickly ran off.”The police immediately promised to look into this.After the fiasco ended, Mason left with Eva and the kids.Mason glanced at Eva, who was in the back seat, while on their way back. He asked softly, “Did you offend anyone recently, Eva? Something seemed off about that man’s attempt to kidnap Max.”Eva shook her head. “Nope.”If there really was someone she offended, it would be Nicole Pileggi.However, how would Nicole know that she would be visiting that shopping mall?Eva could not figure it out and said nothing about it.Mason did not continue asking when he heard her answer. He knew she must st
Lucy was shocked. She was about to turn away when the clown called out to her, “It’s me, Lucy!”The man took off his clown mask while speaking and revealed his face.It was a handsome face but one that had arrogance and eccentricity written all over it.Lucy was astonished. “It’s you, Hunter Lynch!”“Yes, it’s me.”Hunter smiled. There was a fanatic look in his eyes when he looked at Lucy.He had liked her for a long time and had been trying to court her.However, Lucy had never made time for him.Lucy did not expect Hunter to be here, and she did not miss the adoration in his eyes.Hunter was a Lynch. The Lynches were powerful, and it satisfied her pride to know that such a man was interested in her.Unfortunately, she could not reciprocate his feelings.It was because her heart had room only for Mason.It suddenly dawned on Lucy. “Were you the one who took Eva’s kid?”“Yeah, it was me.”Hunter did not deny it. There was a chilling look in his eyes as he said condescendi
The next day, Eva received a call from Finn. He informed her that Nathan was leaving the hotel and returning to North City.However, he needed a few types of flowers for medicinal purposes. If it was convenient, he hoped she could deliver them personally.Nathan had always been generous, and his orders were huge. There was no reason for Eva to reject it, so she agreed.She began moving the flowers into her car in the morning. By the time she was done, she suddenly realized something.North City…It had been five years since she left!Five years ago, she was conned into that hotel by her so-called mother. She lost her virginity because of it, and it almost destroyed her life.That woman had never shown her face for the past five years.If it was up to Eva, she would avoid that place which had brought her nothing but sadness.However, in order to survive and for the sake of her kids, she no longer allowed it to bother her.Eva quickly packed everything into her car. It was then
Two hours later at North City, Eva finally arrived at the address given by Finn with the flowers.She was now looking at a luxurious estate villa in front of her.The architecture was Baroque style, and it looked like a castle standing tall under the blue sky.There was a huge grassy field at the gates. It came with a private garden and an outdoor swimming pool.The landscape was garden-inspired and looked absolutely gorgeous.It only took a glance for one to recognize that this was the work of a famous designer!Eva took in the scenery in front of her. She was tongue-tied by what she was looking at.This was too… luxurious!Finn came out to welcome her personally. His attitude toward her was quite friendly. “Thank you for making the trip, Miss Lane. You must be tired.”Eva tore her eyes away from the sights and waved with her hands. “It’s fine. I’m alright.”It took four hours to travel to and fro. It was indeed tiring, but it was worth it.Soon, Finn ordered someone to mov
He put down his book and went into the bathroom.Inside the foggy, limited space, he saw the woman on the floor, looking quite pale.The usual cold expression on Nathan’s face wavered slightly. He quickly strode toward her and crouched in front of Eva.“Are you alright, Miss Lane?”He reached out to gently pat her on the face.Eva did not move.Bending down, Nathan circled his hand around her waist to carry her in his arms. He strode out of the bathroom while shouting, “Finn!”Finn was standing in wait outside. When he heard his boss calling out to him suddenly, he quickly rushed in. “What do you need, Mr. Langley?”Nathan said sternly, “Get a doctor here immediately. Right now!”After that, he carried Eva to his bed.Finn did not ask further questions when he saw the situation. He went downstairs to make the call.About ten minutes later, Nathan’s personal doctor came over.Nathan pointed to Eva, who was on the bed, and said to the doctor, “She passed out in the bathroom.
Eva replied with slight embarrassment, “I feel better. I’m fine now.” Nathan looked over as well when he heard her.This made Eva even more embarrassed, and she quickly apologized, “I’m really sorry to be using your bed, Mr. Langley. I’m so sorry.” “It’s fine.” Nathan slowly pushed his laptop to the side and said softly, “You should have something to eat in the dining room.” Eva quickly waved with her hands, indicating her rejection. “No, no, it’s fine. I’ll be leaving right now. It’s already dark out, and I need to rush home to take care of my kids.” Nathan gave a small frown. “You haven’t even had lunch. What if you pass out again? Have something to eat and take your medicine after that. Then I’ll let you leave.” He spoke softly, but there was something about his tone that made it difficult for Eva to reject.She squirmed a little but did not object to him. She ended up being led by Finn to the dining room.The dishes on the table looked delicious. Eva drooled at the s
After Eva left Nathan’s house, she rushed back to Cloud City in her car.She was frustrated as she quietly blamed herself for being unconscious for so long.Max and Mia might be anxiously waiting for her now!Eva stepped hard on the accelerator to speed up on the road.Suddenly, a black SUV came from the side of the road and blocked her way.Eva was alarmed by this and quickly stepped on the brakes. She turned her steering wheel to stop her car on the pavement.She was still in shock and had not even caught her breath when she heard someone knocking on her car door.Eva lifted her head to see a big, muscular man standing outside her car. He was wearing a black suit.She was initially frightened by his appearance but later found him to be quite familiar.That looked like… Mason’s bodyguard!Eva was taken aback but quickly rolled down her window. The man outside said respectfully, “Miss Lane, Mr. Young is on the phone. Please take his call as he’s very worried about you.” Thi
Eva trusted Mason a lot. She did not suspect anything when she heard his words.She immediately nodded in agreement.About half an hour later, Mason arrived to pick up Eva.They rushed back to Cloud Cit, but it was already ten at night when they arrived.The first thing Eva did when she got home was to give Finn a call. “I’m so sorry, Mr. Miller. Due to the long journey, I’m afraid I won’t be able to deliver flowers to you any longer. "Can I cancel the previous order you made with me? If necessary, I'm willing to compensate for this inconvenience.”Finn was taken aback to hear that Eva was declining to do business with his boss. He immediately replied, “I’m afraid I won’t be able to make the decision for this, Miss Lane. I'd need to report this to Mr. Langley first before giving you a reply. Can I talk to you about this at a later time?”“Sure.”Eva did not object, and the call ended very quickly.Mason felt much better after watching her make the call. …Back in Nathan's
