Eva smiled when she saw the grim look on Yelena’s face.Even though she was just teasing Yelena, she really did hope Yelena would take special care of the Pygmy Water Lilies.These flowers were too fragile, and the price of the flowers was high. If she could successfully expand and plant them in the estate, it would be the signature flower of her business.The Pygmy Water Lily was a flower worthy of it.Eva personally planted each of the seedlings before she could finally relax. That was when the head worker came over to her to show her the order list.He did not dare to disturb her previously as she was busy planting the Pygmy Water Lilies.Eva glanced through the orders. They were common flowers, and she passed the order list to Yelena. “You can handle this, Yelena. Just get the workers to collect the payment.”“Alright.”Yelena nodded. Eva stretched lazily and washed the dirt from her hands. That was when she was told that someone who claimed to know her wanted to see her.
That night, Mason drove home and saw the living room lights in his villa turned on the moment he got out of his car.Was there someone in his house?He was living alone and did not have any nanny or maids in his house. He remembered turning off the lights before leaving.Who was in there?Frowning, he opened the door carefully.The living room door was facing the sofa, and he immediately saw Tyler sitting there and watching him.Frowning, a cold look flashed in Mason's eyes. The expression on his face turned grim.“What are you doing here?”“Don’t be so cold, Mason. We’re working for Aunt Wanda together, after all.”Tyler smiled and said, “Aunt Wanda misses you. She asked me to come get you.”Mason closed the door and looked at Tyler coldly. “Just tell me whatever you need to say.”“Come on, Mason. You’re still the same. You refuse to be friendly with me.”Tyler shrugged helplessly and looked at Mason from the corner of his eyes. “Mason, Aunt Wanda has been disappointed wit
The next morning at Lane Residence, a scrumptious breakfast was laid out on the table. It looked delicious as there was a variety to choose from. There were even danishes and various buttery pastries that tempted one to dig in immediately.Queenie rested her chin on her hand as she waited at the table.She was famished, and her stomach was growling. However, she could only glance at the food on the table before looking away.Pamela tried to talk her into having breakfast.“My dear daughter, just have something to fill up your stomach if you’re hungry. A pregnant woman can’t function on an empty stomach. You might be able to endure this but not the baby inside of you.”“Stop nagging me, Mom. I’m waiting for Mason to have breakfast together.”Queenie looked at Pamela with annoyance. Her voice was shrill. “Mason said he's going to have breakfast with me this morning. He'll probably be here soon. How can I start breakfast without him?”She stared at the door patiently.Mason had se
Eva had replied so fast on the phone that Eugene could not believe his ears.“Did you just say ‘no’? Evie, the engagement party is tomorrow. Stop being so emotional. You should attend it with Nathan. It’s your sister’s engagement, after all."He tried his best to talk Eva into it. He was already on cloud nine over what would happen on that day.Once everyone witnessed Nathan Langley and Mason Young present at the engagement party, they would get busy trying to get into his good graces.Who would dare look down on him when his daughters had married the CEO of Langley Corporation and the CEO of Scope Investments?They previously made fun of him for not having a son. Who would dare say a thing now that both of his daughters had married such great partners? As their father, he would become someone who deserved respect as well.This was especially for the Lanes’ relatives. They could not wait to curry favor with him.Eugene’s eyes narrowed at the thought of how much he was going to b
By the time Lucy arrived at Mason’s home, it was already five in the afternoon.She waited quietly outside his door. When Mason parked his car, he immediately spotted her slender figure.The glow of the sunset was shining down on her, covering her in a layer of golden, red light.What a familiar sight.Mason walked toward her. When Lucy spotted him, her eyes brightened. However, at the thought of why she was here to see him, the look in her eyes dimmed.“Let’s talk inside, Lulu.”Mason pretended not to see the change in her eyes and opened the door. He was warm and gentlemanly as usual.Lucy lowered her head and smiled bitterly as she followed him.This was where she used to live with him, but now, she could only wait for him to open the door.Lucy gave a complicated look around the living room and floor. She noticed lots of changes that made her uncomfortable, especially the gold and red invitations placed inside the house.“Mason.”Her voice trembled as she asked, “Are you
Nathan and Eva were affected by the children’s excitement and happiness as well. Smiling, they followed behind them as they headed downstairs.Breakfast was scrumptious as usual, and because they were about to go on a long journey, Mrs. Wilson had prepared lots of good food.There were buttery pastries, bacon and ham, and even oatmeal that was rich with fruit. They were all Eva and the children’s favorites.The children exclaimed happily, “Wow! There's so much yummy food!”“Mommy, Daddy, hurry up and eat breakfast.”Eva and Nathan quickly went to the table. After they were done with breakfast, they headed to the helicopter hangar inside Thriving Dragon Bay amidst the children’s laughter and chattering. They took the helicopter directly to River City for a three-day holiday.It was the first time the children were flying a long distance from Thriving Dragon Bay. Max leaned into Nathan’s arms while looking down on the city. He kept exclaiming excitedly, “Mia, we’re flying higher
During the next few stops, the children found something strange about Eva.She seemed to be in a good mood. There was a constant smile on her face, and she had a mirror in her hand. She seemed to like it a lot as she refused to pass it over to the bodyguards to carry.Mia observed her for a long time before turning to look at Max curiously.“What’s wrong with Mommy, Max?”Max looked at Eva upon hearing Mia’s question. He looked at the silly look on her face and later explained to Mia confidently, “Don’t worry, Mommy is fine. Haven’t you seen how women in love act like in television shows?”Oh!Realization dawned upon Mia. “But who is Mommy in love with?”“Who else is there but Daddy?”Max was frustrated with Mia’s slow uptake. “Mommy is Daddy’s wife. Who else can she be in a relationship with? You're getting stupid, Mia.” How horrible to say that of her!Mia hugged Nathan’s arm angrily after hearing Max’s words. She turned her head away and refused to look at him. This time,
Eva’s face was flushed from being drunk, and she was stumbling about slightly. It made her look alluring. Nathan took a gentle breath. He sat next to her, looking serious.“What do you want from me?”His voice was elegant and husky. It sounded like a cello that pulled on her heartstrings. Eva's heart thumped faster, and the look in her eyes became mistier.“Nathan.”“Call me ‘Sweetie’.”Sweetie?Eva shook her head vigorously. “No, I won’t.”She looked at him and laughed after saying this. She then lay down next to him in a drunken stupor. Reaching out, she grabbed him by the tie.Nathan allowed her to pull him down and bent toward her. Before he realized what was going on, she was kissing him on the lips.He was stunned when her soft, tender lips brushed on his. He looked down at her, but her eyes were already closed and she was breathing stably.This woman!He shook his head in exasperation. She had gotten him all hot and bothered. He had no choice but to get into the showe
