The Great River of River City was full of boats of fishermen during the evening. The hotels and homestays around the river were preparing dinner, and the fragrant smell of food was wafting everywhere.River City looked serene, and time seemed to have slowed down as well.What a wonderful feeling.Eva was smiling as she looked at the children and Nathan. She pointed at a homestay not far from them. “How about having dinner over there?”They had been eating at the hotel. Even though the food was good, it lacked a certain flavor that was unique to River City. She wanted to have a different experience at the homestay.The homestay was run by locals, and the food there might be even more delicious.Everyone looked in the direction that Eva was pointing at. It was a traditional building that looked rich with River City culture, and the children loved it immediately.“Wow! Let’s go there.”They pulled Eva and Nathan toward the direction, but they had only taken a few steps when it beg
Eva shut her eyes gently and breathed in.She felt much more at ease after deciding not to see Mason anymore.“Alright. You should stop thinking about it.”Nathan patted her shoulder gently. “He might not be around anymore, but you still have me.”Those simple words warmed Eva’s heart. She glanced at Nathan with a smile.They stood in the corridor in the night and listened to the rain together as they stared at the entire River City.This was a great place to have a holiday.The pace was slower here, and there were many great dishes to savor. Staying here was a true change of environment.Eva could not help saying, “Looks like the others were right when they said we should have more holidays. I do feel the benefits. Going on holidays broadens the mind and relaxes the soul.”She enjoyed this feeling.Nathan smiled at his woman’s sudden burst of feelings. “Are there any other pretty places you’d like to see?”Pretty places?Eva shook her head. “No idea.“I do want to see the
Meanwhile, inside the homestay, Nathan carried Eva inside the room. The children, who were washing up with Finn’s help, widened their eyes.“Daddy, Mommy, what’s going on?”Eva felt even more embarrassed and flustered when she saw the innocent look in the children’s eyes. She quickly turned away from them as she pinched Nathan with her little hands.This was all his fault!She used quite a lot of force, and Nathan looked slightly pained. Even so, he quickly pretended nothing happened and strode into the room with Eva in his arms.All he did was give them a vague explanation.“Your mommy twisted her ankle, and I’m getting some medicine for her.”His voice disappeared into the air. By the time the children realized what he just said, the couple had disappeared behind the folding screen.The children were taken aback.Mia wiped away the water from her face before looking at Max. “Max, I’ve never seen Daddy and Mommy being so close before.”“Me too.”Max nodded in confirmation.
Mason remembered Queenie only after he had returned to North City.He parked his car to call Queenie on the phone.It was instantly picked up, and he heard Queenie crying out for him.“Mason, are you alright?”She had just returned to Lane Residence after waking up in the hospital. Pamela and Eugene were taking care of her, but the Lanes’ other relatives were starting to give her strange looks.Tyler had led several bodyguards to the engagement party to publicly drag Mason away. Who knew what was going on?Mason might be going bankrupt!Eugene and Pamela had to endure the questioning looks from the public as they tried to contact Mason for the past two days. However, Mason did not pick up their calls, and they were very worried about him.Fortunately, Mason finally called Queenie.Mason replied coldly when he heard how worried Queenie sounded.“Don’t worry, I’m fine.”“Where are you?”Queenie asked him anxiously, “They won’t let me call the police, and we don’t dare to do a
Sean did not take the card from Mason.“You shouldn’t give up, Mr. Young!”He said to Mason anxiously, “I‘ve managed to save quite a bit in my years of working with you. I have over ten million. We can use this money to make a comeback!”“I can’t.”Mason shook his head. “I don’t have the confidence anymore.”There was a look of despondence and despair in his eyes. They were like pools of dead water. The Mason that was filled with life and spirit was long gone.Sean clenched his teeth and nodded heavily.“Alright. I know your mind is a mess right now, Mr. Young. I’ll wait until you’ve thought this through. If you ever need me, just give me a call.”“Got it.”Mason waved him off, and Sean glanced at him before turning away in disappointment.He smiled bitterly as he watched Sean leave.Make a comeback.Hah.He got into his car bitterly and stepped on the accelerator.…Back in Cloudy Hills Estate, Eva and Yelena were teaching the workers how to take care of the flowers.E
Nathan had been busy recently.He was going through his documents in the office when Finn knocked softly on the door. He placed a stack of documents Nathan had to go through and sign before reporting quietly to him.“Mr. Langley, Scope Investments has a new owner.”Finn handed the latest investigation report to Nathan.Nathan glanced at the contents and grunted coldly.Tyler Sullivan worked fast.Scope Investments now belonged to him, and he had been quite active. He had been in constant contact with Rachel Lovette and had been focusing on the government’s newly developed district.This was brazen of him!The government was planning to initiate many projects within this new district. Tyler and Rachel were not the only ones eyeing this piece of meat; Langley Corporation had also been watching this for a long time.This new district was profitable and had a good reputation. No one was willing to give it up.According to Finn’s investigation, many companies were vying to snag th
Nathan had just got into the estate when the children ran to him for a big hug.“Daddy!” They called out to him happily, “Mommy is busy right now. Can you do puzzles with us?”The children loved puzzles, but when Eva did puzzles with them, she would usually get frustrated and have no idea how to quickly put the pieces together.However, Nathan had a high IQ and could resolve difficult problems easily. He always managed to help them solve the puzzles quickly.Whenever they did puzzles, the children would stick close to Nathan.The children were too adorable, and Nathan could not bear to reject them. He glanced at Eva, who looked like she was busy in the garden, and smiled.She seemed to be avoiding him.He quickly noticed her blushing earlobes and smiled even wider.“Alright, I’ll accompany you to do puzzles.”He brought the children to the living room. Eva was relieved to see him and the children leave.This was better.Nathan played with the children, and he eventually fo
The next few days saw Eva’s business growing. She was getting more orders for her flowers.Nathan decided to get Finn to help her out when he saw how busy she was. However, there were too many orders, and even Finn was not able to keep up.Eva was always handling her orders through the night. Her eyes had already formed dark circles as she continued working through the day as well.It upset Nathan to see her working so hard.That afternoon, Nathan decided to stop her.“You can’t continue this way. You should hire someone good to help you manage all of this.”“That’s right.”Eva smacked her head. “I was so busy that I wasn’t able to think straight. You’re right. I should work on hiring someone now.”“Let Finn help you with this.”Nathan pulled her back and pressed her onto the bed. “You should have a good rest.”The loving look in his eyes warmed Eva’s heart, and she nodded obediently.She had been really tired recently and would suddenly feel lethargic for no reason.Nathan
