Eva quickly put the glass down and began retching again.She felt awful.Once she finally stopped, Eva felt much more comfortable. She picked up the glass to gargle again.Eva looked at her pale face and gently brushed through her hair.This was morning sickness.However, she had just found out she was pregnant. This was all a little too early.After Eva cleaned herself up, Yelena could not help asking worriedly, “Should I get you a doctor, Mrs. Langley?”“It’s fine.”Eva walked to the sofa and fell onto it. “Just get me a glass of milk.”She did not want to see a doctor. Yelena quickly poured her a glass of milk and quietly observed Eva’s face. She remembered what had caused Eva’s retching and could not help smiling.“Are you pregnant, Mrs. Langley?”Eva raised an eyebrow.Yelena was an older woman who had life experience. She could tell with one look.“Yes.”She nodded heavily and gently reminded Yelena, “Please don’t tell anyone about this.”“I understand.”Yelena
Nathan drove Eva and the children back to Langley Manor at 6:30 pm.Old Mr. Langley, Robert, and Rebecca were seated on the sofa and chatting. When they saw Nathan and his family arrive, they smiled and welcomed them.Robert carried Max happily in his arms.“Let me have a look. Has my grandson gotten taller?” “Of course, I have!”Max laughed and hugged Robert’s arm. “Mia has grown taller too, Grandpa. Look.”He turned to look, but Mia had already run to hug Old Mr. Langley.“I missed you so much, Great-grandpa.”Her voice was sweet as sugar, and Old Mr. Langley smiled so much that his eyes creased. He rubbed her head gently and kept nodding.There were snacks and sweets on the table. Rebecca smiled gently as she gave them to the children.Nathan and Eva smiled as they sat at the side.Everyone began chatting happily. Max was telling Robert about his exciting moment during the national tournament and how he had won the championship. His big eyes shone when he talked about it
The living room of Lane Residence was in a mess. Queenie was rubbing her eyes on the sofa, and her cheeks were tear-stained. It was clear that she had been cryingPamela’s hair was in a mess, and her clothes were skewed. A lone slipper was lying at the side of the floor. Pamela looked exactly like an angry shrew as she stared red-eyed at Eugene.“Why didn’t you just sell us off as well, Eugene?”Her voice was hoarse, and when she saw Eugene staying quiet, she ran forward and grabbed him by the collar. She shook him violently. “Give me back my money and my shares! Give them back to me!”No matter how much she grabbed him, Eugene continued staying silent as he let her vent it all out on him.After telling her the truth about Lane Enterprise, Pamela went crazy. She kept smashing things to vent her anger and kept yelling at him. She was almost tearing him apart.However, what could he do about it?His debts were cleared with Nathan’s help, and the company’s shares no longer belonged
“Are you leaving?”Mason quickly tried to stop her when he heard that. “Come with me, Eva. I have something to say to you.”“There’s nothing I have to say to you.”Eva said coldly and got out of the car to help Sophia with the barricade.Sophia smiled weakly when she saw Eva come over. “This barricade is really heavy, Eva. I can't move it on my own.”“It’s alright. We can do it together.”Eva and Sophia bent over to move the heavy barricade. Mason’s face fell when he saw both of them ignoring him.That slut!Eva must be ignoring him because he had lost everything and was no longer useful to her!He clenched his teeth and walked behind them coldly. He hit Sophia hard on the back of her head.Mason used brute force. Sophia fell unconscious after feeling a pain in her back.She fell limply to the ground, and Eva turned to look at him in surprise. She was shocked when she saw the grim look on Mason’s face.Mason was crazy!Eva turned away immediately in fear. She wanted to get
Meanwhile, on the wide road, the passed-out Sophia was woken up by passersby.“Are you alright, Miss? Do you need to go to the hospital?”The voice of the passersby helped Sophia get her thoughts straight. She rubbed the back of her head, which was throbbing with pain, and immediately sobered up.“Eva!”She looked around the car in a panic and did not see Eva. Mason and his car were gone, and she was the only one left.Sophia spotted Eva’s smashed-up phone lying quietly on the ground not far away.Did Mason take her?Sophia’s eyes widened at this frightening thought.She quickly took out her phone. Fortunately, it was still intact.Sophia took a deep breath and made sure she was calm before she called Finn’s number.The call had just gotten through when Sophia immediately broke out crying. “This is terrible, Mr. Miller! Eva was taken away by Mason Young!”Finn was dumbstruck when he heard this news. He was stunned for a few seconds before quickly asking about the details of
Eva turned away from Mason stubbornly. She did not want to speak to this crazy man.It was impossible for her to leave with him!She could not leave her children, nor would she leave North City. She would never leave that man.Nathan’s face appeared in front of her, and Eva shuddered slightly before closing her eyes.He must be looking for her.Eva’s silence frustrated Mason even further. He lowered his head to look at her, and his breathing got increasingly heavier. He stumbled to the chair at the side.He picked up a bottle from the table and opened it.“Why would you want to leave with me? All you can think about is Nathan Langley. He’s richer than I am and more capable than I am. Haha! Slut! You’re nothing but a gold-digging slut!”Mason drank the alcohol from the bottle.The liquid burned his throat and his stomach. It felt like numerous little daggers slicing his throat, and he began to mumble.“Haven’t I been good enough to you, Eva?”He took a few gulps of the drin
In the CEO's office of Scope Investment headquarters, Nathan was staring coldly at Tyler.Tyler was still smiling with a devil-may-care attitude as usual. “Hey, isn’t this Mr. Langley? What are you doing at my little company? Can I help you with anything?”“Cut the crap.”Nathan asked him coldly, “Where’s Mason Young? He took Eva.”Eva was kidnapped by Mason?Tyler was shocked to hear this news, but he quickly looked at Nathan tauntingly. “Mr. Langley, is there a problem with you? You should go to the right place to find your wife. Mason is no longer part of Scope Investments.”“Shut up!”Nathan was enraged, and the temperature in Tyler’s office dropped a few degrees. He stared into Tyler’s taunting eyes. His voice was so frosty it chilled anyone who heard him. “Did Wanda Emerson do this? If she did, I won’t let you off!”After that, he left Tyler behind and strode off.The most important thing was to find Eva. He was not in the mood to waste time and bicker with Tyler Sulliva
Nathan immediately looked at the map carefully after hearing what Matthew said.He frowned.“Are you sure Mason Young’s car never appeared after that?”“Yes.”Matthew replied confidently, “His car disappeared after driving into the village and has not appeared since then.”This was bad.Nathan’s heart sank.That would mean Mason had changed vehicles while in the village and he might have more than one car!It was impossible for him to be hiding in that village with Eva. It was a very small village, and he would be discovered immediately if he was hiding there. Mason was not stupid.Damn it!Nathan clenched his fists and took a deep breath. He forced himself to calm down before calling Gavin.“What do you need, Mr. Langley?”“I need you to find out where in this entire city that has just recently sold a second scrapped vehicle!”“Yes, Mr. Langley!”Nathan was still frowning after he hung up. Matthew had heard everything he said and poured a cup of tea for Nathan. “Do you n
