Rose had already made a booking at the best seat, and she led Eva and Nathan there.“Over here.”She clapped gently with a smile on her face, and the waiters immediately appeared with the menu. Rose placed it in front of Eva.“This is my apology to you, Eva. Go ahead and order. You don’t need to save money on my behalf.”“She’s right.”Nathan added, “Rose is very rich.”“I’m not as rich as the CEO of Langley Corporation.”Rose rolled her eyes at Nathan and smiled when she looked at Eva.While they waited for Eva to order, Eva looked at the dishes' names on the menu.She had often heard about the famous Lotus Garden. The Lotus banquet prepared by the experienced chef here astonished many socialites who heaped praise on the food, claiming that it was delicious and good for their skin. They were loyal followers of this restaurant.However, Eva had never been here before.Every dish was made with lotus. There was lotus cake, lotus pudding, lotus and duck, and many more. Eva felt
Lucy said slowly with a cold look on her face, “Uncle Nathan, you're the one who caused Aunt Elena her pain. Do you really think you deserve to live a happy life with Aunt Eva like this? Don’t you feel guilty at all?”The air turned silent.Rose glanced angrily at Lucy. Even a gentle and warm person like her wanted to duct tape Lucy’s mouth.This stupid woman!Everyone knew the passing of Elena’s fiancé was her greatest pain. Even Nathan had been pulled into this now that Lucy mentioned this in front of everyone. Elena’s pain had been exposed publicly.Nathan and Elena looked very upset.Hunter quietly squeezed Lucy’s hand, but it was pointless.“I see Lucy is unhappy with me.”Nathan was the first to break the silence. Everyone could feel his anger as they felt the temperature around them drop a few degrees. He looked at Lucy quietly, but there was something about the way he stared at her that made Lucy back away.He was just too frightening!“Please don’t misunderstand me,
Anton and Colton Silva were seated opposite Sebastian Garner in the Garners' residence. A hot pot of tea was brewing between the three of them.The fragrance of the tea filled the room, but they were not feeling as calm as they would be on a usual day.“Are you telling me the truth?”Sebastian stared at both of them. “Nathan Langley had something to do with my son’s death?”“Yes.”Colton nodded. “Sebastian, we’ve been friends for decades. Do you think I'd keep something like this from you?”Sebastian stared at the pot of tea in front of him silently.He was actually aware of that.His son’s death was his greatest pain. Sebastian had investigated his death thoroughly, and the thought of Nathan’s cold expression made him feel even worse.Why was his son the person who died and not Nathan Langley?This involved a descendant of the Garners.He wanted revenge!Colton sighed when he saw the hesitation in Sebastian’s eye. Anton obediently placed a document in front of Sebastian. H
Nathan felt much happier with the children's and Eva’s gentle comfort.“I’m to blame for this.”He held the children in each hand and kissed them on the forehead gently. “I shouldn’t come home in a bad mood just because I had a bad day at the office. I’ll be more careful next time.”“It’s fine.”Eva smiled warmly at him. “Home is where you’re able to vent. It’s your shelter from the storm outside. Where else can you vent your bad mood if not with your family?”She suddenly stopped talking at this point.Eva realized her words sounded a little too intimate.She coughed awkwardly and turned to walk into the kitchen. “You just came home, and I have a lot of spare time tonight. I’ll cook dinner for everyone.”“Yay! Mommy is cooking!”The children cheered and sat on the sofa obediently to wait for her.To the children, the best food was the one made by Eva.It was the taste of their mother's cooking and also the taste of home. Eva walked away very quickly, but Nathan still mana
As the audience cheered, the team captain of Rainbow Club, Jordan Shaw, looked at Max coldly.Max was a very good player, and Felix should send him out for international tournaments.However, Max was also the greatest obstacle for Rainbow Club!After the individual qualifying round was over, Nolan and Max returned to their teams to prepare for the team qualifying round.Max had won the individual tournament, and he had to prepare for the individual all-star tournament.This would be a major milestone in his life.At the resting area of UN Club, Felix was looking at Max happily while Eva, Nathan, and Mia hugged him.Mia gave Max her favorite lollipop.“You’re incredible, Max.”“Mia is right. Our Max is the best.”Eva rubbed his soft head of hair with a smile as she kissed him on the cheek. “You won, Max. I never thought you could be so amazing.”Max had been unbeatable since he had started playing.He was amazing, and Eva was glad that she had listened to Nathan and allowed
Everyone’s eyes widened as they stared at Max.“No!”Eva disagreed shrilly. She shook her head vigorously. “Don’t you know how serious your injury is, Max? We need to get you to the hospital right now!”How could he still think about the tournament?His hand could not move as agilely as before!Eva was insistent. Even though Felix really wanted Max to continue with the tournament, he could only clench his fists tight when he saw Eva’s reaction.“You should let this go, Young Mr. Max. It’s best that you get some rest. We’ll forfeit this tournament.”It hurt Felix to make this decision.Getting into the top eight had not been an easy journey, and they were about to get into the top four. UN had not gotten any championships for the past two years, and Felix did not want to waste this opportunity.However, something like this had happened!Felix looked coldly at the resting area at Rainbow Club. He noticed how happy Jordan was while Nolan had his head lowered. He could not see No
As the red inhibitor of Rainbow Club broke, the audience cheered even louder.“The Great Maximus is amazing!”“Wow! He went into this with an injury and he still managed to beat Nolan Jenkins and his team without batting an eye!”“No wonder Rainbow Club wanted to hurt him. They're just bullying him because he’s still a child. If he plays so well while he's injured, imagine what he could've done if he was well. Rainbow Club didn't stand a chance at all!”The cheering thundered throughout. In the arena, Max was staring directly at Nolan.Nolan was no longer the same arrogant person he was before they entered the individual tournament. He now looked despondent as he nodded subtly at Max.“You’re really good.”Nolan told Max in a small voice. He left the arena with his teammates. As he was about to leave, he turned back to look at Max. “I’m sorry.”After Rainbow Club left, Carlton, Simon, and the others circled Max.“What’s the point of apologizing now?”Carlton said angrily as h
Jordan was reading the fans' comments quietly in Rainbow Club.“These people are dumb.”He flung his tablet onto the sofa next to him and put his leg up on the table in a carefree manner. He grabbed a handful of peanuts and began snacking on them.Just let those people vent. It would not affect him, anyway.He was not the one being sued.Jordan made a mess of the table, and the cleaners at the club quickly came over to clear it, but Nolan stopped them.The cleaners left quickly after that.Nolan approached Jordan slowly and stared at the mess he made. He looked at Jordan’s calm expression and could not help asking, “Captain, UN Club wants to sue me and have me expelled.”“Yeah, I know.”Jordan did not seem to mind. “Let them do whatever they want. It's punishment enough that we’ve lost the tournament. What else do they want?”Were they planning to kick the club out of the tournament? Too bad. Rainbow Club had been eliminated by UN Club. They would not be competing in this y
