The children were busy with their own activities for the next two days. Mia was busy learning to dance while Max was focused on highly pressured esports training.Eva began getting busy with her flowers as well.Her flower business has been doing well recently. Her Arabian Jasmines and Grand Duke of Tuscany Jasmines had bloomed one after the other. Even the Lady Slipper Orchids that had been planted later had begun to bloom.She also had a good harvest of crab cactuses.As her flower orders began to grow, Eva immediately ordered two huge batches of flowers to Cloudy Hills Estate and began nurturing them.She decided to stay at Cloudy Hills Estate. She would only return to Thriving Dragon Bay once every two days.That night, Nathan returned with the children to Thriving Dragon Bay, only to be welcomed by an empty living room. He frowned.It had been two days since he last saw Eva.They had never spent any alone time together since getting married.That was not acceptable!Nath
Nathan left for the office very early in the morning after waking and washing up.He was busy at work, and Eva did not want to give him any trouble. Thus, she drove the children out.She dropped Mia off at school and took Max to the club.When Max got out of the car, she watched him go inside before stepping on the accelerator and heading off to Lane Residence.She wanted to make a trip back to the Lanes.Eva could not let it go after Nathan shared with her what happened!When she arrived at Lane Residence, Queenie and Pamela had just gotten up for breakfast. Eugene had already woken up earlier to play with his pet birds. He was planning to feed them before leaving for the office.He was slightly taken aback to see Eva’s car, but he quickly came up to her with a smile.“Evie, what are you doing here so early in the morning?”“I’m here about your new joint venture.”Eva was frowning as she looked at Eugene coldly. “I’d like to ask if you're really working on a new project with
The look on Queenie’s face turned dark after she watched Mason get into the house.She had heard everything.If Mason did not want to talk about it, she would not ask.Queenie took a deep breath and smiled brightly. She followed behind Mason and said sweetly, “Mason, my mom and dad are waiting for us.”“Alright.”Mason replied to her coldly, “What was Eva doing here so early in the morning?”“She came here to talk Dad into terminating a contract.”Queenie explained to him what had happened, and a look of disgust flashed in her eyes. “She just has to create trouble for us when the family is doing well.”Mason frowned when he heard that. He did not like her words but said nothing.He believed Eva was not someone like that.…Back in Cloudy Hills Estate, Eva was working on her flowers.It was the season to propagate the crab cactuses, and she carefully handled the tender shoots. However, the faces of the Lanes appeared in front of her, and she went into a daze.What was the p
Eva really did not want to drink!She did not even know who this socialite was. Why should she do what the socialite wanted?Rose noticed the cold look on Eva’s face and even looked a little angry. She quickly went to stop the socialite.“Why are you doing this, Yvonne? Eva doesn’t drink. Don’t force her to do that. I’ll drink on her behalf. I haven’t had enough, anyway.”Eva looked gratefully at Rose.She was thankful for someone helping her out of this.Yvonne pouted.Everyone was just here to have fun. Drinking at a place like this was normal. Even though she had heard that Eva was already a mother of two, she could still have a drink or two, right? What was she doing on her high horse?However, she did not dare say that out loud.Eva was Nathan Langley’s wife, after all.Crossing Eva Lane like this meant crossing Nathan Langley.“Alright, Eva. You can drink on her behalf.”Yvonne poured a glass of red wine for Rose. Rose smiled and was about to drink the wine when a han
The middle-aged man was clearly drunk, but he was still stronger than Eva. He refused to release his grip on Eva, and she could not escape from him.“Let go!”Eva shouted with all her might. She kept struggling in an attempt to escape him.Her car was not far away. If she could get to her car, this man would probably be unable to touch her.While Eva was planning what to do, she stepped hard on the man’s feet with her high heels.“Ow!”He screamed out painfully. The middle-aged man’s eyes were red when he stared at her, and his grip on her got stronger.“Don’t get difficult with me, you little bitch. How dare you step on me? I’m going to have fun with you tonight!”He grabbed her hard. He had one hand on Eva’s arm, and he used the other to her by her hair. He dragged her toward his car.Eva was in pain and started tearing up.It hurt!She tried to protect her head while attempting to beat the man with her other hand. She kept struggling and screaming for help.“Help!”Unfo
What was Nathan doing at Cloudy Hills Estate?Mason felt annoyed, but he had already arrived, and there was no reason to drive off, so he parked his car.Eva looked out the window in a daze and suddenly cheered up.“I’m home!"She got out of the car and suddenly went limp as she almost fell to the ground. Nathan quickly came forward to hold her. He immediately caught a whiff of alcohol reeking from her.Eva had gone out drinking?Nathan looked at Mason, who was getting out of the driver’s seat.Both men stared down at each other in the dark. One could almost hear thunder rumble behind them.Eva looked at both of them with a muddled look on her face. The next second, she gave a silly smile.These men were interesting.Her body went limp, and she fell onto Nathan. He frowned at her and asked while slowly helping her into the estate.“Why did you drink so much?”She was reeking with the smell of alcohol. Did someone force her to drink?Nathan’s face looked cold.He had drive
Eva agreed, and Nathan helped her up.However, Eva began stumbling after a couple of steps.The effect of her drink was strong, especially because she could not hold her liquor. It was difficult for her to sober up, and Eva had already done very well by hanging on until now.Sighing, Nathan carried her in his arms again.“Be good.”Nathan whispered in her ear. “You can sleep now. I’ll take you home.”“Okay.”Eva gently tugged on his shirt. She was like an adorable furball that was curled up softly in his arms. Eva leaned her head against his chest and closed her eyes.She felt safe when she was with him.Nathan burst out laughing when he heard her stable breathing when he put her down in the back seat of his car.What a docile woman.All it took was a glass of mixed liquor to turn her into this. He decided to never allow her to go out drinking on her own in the future.It was close to nine by the time he drove back to Thriving Dragon Bay. The nanny had already tucked the ch
Rose arrived at Langley Corporation early the next morning with some documents.When she entered the CEO's office, Nathan was busy reading some documents on his table.“Nathan.”Rose smiled gently and placed her documents on his table. “These are the projects my company is planning to develop. Can you take a look at them and see if there's anything that needs to be improved?” Nathan frowned and took them from her, but his eyes were cold when he placed the documents in front of him.Rose was surprised to see him act this way. “What’s wrong? Did I make you angry, Nathan?”He had never treated her so coldly this way!Nathan finally spoke up frostily.“You were the one who got Eva to deliver flowers to the private room last night, and she ended up getting drunk. She was almost molested by a man when she walked out of there.”Rose’s eyes widened in shock when she heard this.Eva was almost molested!Rose took a deep breath to calm herself down. She quickly looked at Nathan and a
