Nathan looked worriedly at Eva after telling her about it.He knew that she did not like the people at Langley Manor, but Old Mr. Langley was very worried and kept insisting on seeing Max. As his grandson, it was difficult for Nathan to reject his request.After all, Old Mr Langley did truly dote on him and the children.Nathan frowned when Eva said nothing and continued, “If it’s too difficult for you, we can forget about it. I can bring them over after my meeting.”“Oh.”Eva snapped out of it when she heard his voice. She shook her head. “It’s no problem at all. I’ll bring them over tomorrow. Don’t worry.”“Alright.”Nathan’s expression relaxed. “It’s just lunch. You don’t need to be so reserved about it. Come back after you’re done.”“Alright.”Eva agreed, but she frowned and said nothing else.He had no idea what she was worried about.The Langleys had formidable personalities and harbored bad intentions. However, she was Nathan’s wife. It was already set in stone that s
Old Mr. Langley kept his promise and personally peeled some shrimp before putting it on Max’s plate.However, Max did not eat it and gave it to Mia instead.“What a considerate child who dotes on his sister.”Old Mr. Langley smiled widely and pressed down on Max’s little hand that was handing Mia the shrimp. He smiled and said, “Alright, I know you dote on your sister. I’ll peel some shrimp for her too. You should enjoy yours.”“Thank you, Great-Grandpa.”Max and Mia hugged him on each arm. “Great-Grandpa treats us the best.”“You’re good kids.”Old Mr. Langley cheered up even more. He took out two little crystal figurines and gave them to the children.“This is my present for you.”The crystals were translucent and bright, and they could tell that it was expensive. The children accepted them happily, but they did not forget to look at Eva.She gave them each a knock on the head.“Aren’t you supposed to be thanking your Great-Grandpa?”“Thank you, Great-Grandpa!”The child
Lucy had been busy thinking about how to get rid of the baby inside Queenie.She had come up with many cruel plans recently and kept thinking about them at night while in bed. Her entire life was almost occupied by this.Despite coming up with a good plan, Lucy did not have the opportunity to act on it.That was because she could not get anywhere near Queenie. They were never friends, and now, they were even considered enemies. It was not a good sight for a current girlfriend and a former girlfriend to be meeting each other.She had no way of going through with the plan!That was why Lucy decided to approach Eva.“Eva, Mason has always treated you well. I’m sure you wouldn’t want to see him marry Queenie Lane. The only way to stop this is if we both work together, do you understand?”Lucy took a deep breath and tried to patiently talk Eva into this. “It'll be too late for you once he marries Queenie Lane!”This woman was crazy!Eva looked at her in astonishment and later shook
Mason walked out of Lane Residence a little later.He could not spend too much time here as he was very busy at the office. He had to return to Scope Investments to continue working.Mason massaged between his eyes gently after getting into the back seat of his car.“Sean.”“Yes, Mr. Young.”“Get a nutritionist for Lane Residence to take care of Queenie’s pregnancy.”Sean was taken aback to hear that, but he answered, “Yes, Mr. Young. Don’t worry about this.”Mason nodded and shut his eyes to rest.He trusted Sean to handle things.Mason continued working once he returned to Scope Investments.…At Lane Residence, Queenie was sitting next to the table while munching on an apple.“Mom, Mason is really good to me.”“Of course. When have I ever been wrong?”Pamela put a plate of ribs in front of her and gave her a piece with a smile. “Have a taste. Isn’t this your favorite?”The ribs smelled good, and they were tempting as Queenie’s stomach growled hungrily for them. She go
Eva looked into Max’s blinking eyes. She knew exactly what he wanted and knocked on his head gently.“You can’t game yet even though your hand is healed. Rest for another two days and take things slow.”Even though his right hand was healed, the stress of gaming on his right hand was too great. She could not bear to see Max play right after he got well.He had to rest for a few days before deciding anything. His hand was recuperating slowly, and it was not wise to give his right hand so much burden so soon.Max was disappointed to know that he was still not allowed to play.“Can I watch the finals tomorrow, Mommy?”The finals were the next day, and it was also the day when the championship for the team tournament and the individual all-star tournament would be decided. Russ had taken Max’s place, and UN Club was still in the running.Max wanted to watch the game very much.Eva hesitated.This little guy had been cooped up for a long time, but she was worried something might ha
Next was the team tournament, and it was obvious that Russ could not handle it.If he continued to perform in such a manner, he would just be creating an opportunity for the opponent. He was the mid-laner and the soul of the entire team.How could they win the tournament if their soul was unstable?At this point, Felix patted his shoulder gently.“Don’t be afraid, Russ. It’s the first time everyone is competing in this tournament. Just pretend that no one is watching you and treat this as a normal training session at the training camp. You don’t need to feel so stressed about this.”“That’s right. What’s done is done. There are only two results in a tournament. Either you win or you lose. Don’t be afraid.”Carlton patted his shoulder. “If you’re worried, just farm under the turret. That'll make it difficult for the opponent to kill you. Once me and the marksman level up, we’ll head to the mid lane.”If things got bad, there was still the jungler!However, Russ kept shaking his
Everyone was busy being concerned over the team tournament, but Eva went forward and gently held Max’s hand.She carefully checked his hand and looked at him worriedly.“Does it hurt?”“It doesn’t. Don’t worry, Mommy.”Max smiled and said, “If it hurts, I’ll back out of the tournament immediately. I won’t allow my hand to get injured.”Eva poked his forehead in exasperation when she heard him say that.This little rascal!He would never let her find out about it even if his hand really hurt because he was afraid she would stop him from taking part in the tournament. He was just comforting her. Did he really think she was not aware of that?Hmph.Max stuck out his tongue in embarrassment when he realized Eva had seen through him.After that, they continued with the tournament.The final game would determine the champion of the team tournament. It was between UN Club and Dream Club.Before they headed into the arena, Felix patted every team member’s shoulder gently as he gave
PS4?Eva had no idea what to say to that. She poked his little head gently. “Are you planning to be a gaming fanatic?”She might not know much about esports, but she did know what a PS4 was.If Max wanted this, it meant that he planned to be in the gaming industry for a long time.Max hugged his head aggrievedly after being poked in the head.“Daddy's the one who asked me to choose my reward, Mommy.”“That’s true. If you want it, then it’s what I’ll get you.”Nathan agreed immediately. Max glanced at Eva happily and stuck his tongue out to her.Eva did not stop him when she saw father and son on the same page. All she did was gently pinch Max’s little arm.Little fanatic!However, Eva decided not to stop him anymore as he was talented in gaming.The most important thing was that he was happy.By the time they returned to Thriving Dragon Bay, Mrs. Wilson had already prepared a good spread of lunch for them.As the tournament took quite a long time, it was already three in t
