They had insisted the children continue at Elite Kindergarten to give them a happy childhood where they could play with children their own age.Children needed to be children.Nathan took a deep breath and made a call to Felix.The next morning, when Mia found out Max did not need to go for training and was going to school with her instead, she was no longer gloomy and even jumped for joy.“That’s great!”She said happily to Eva, “I’m so glad Max can come to school with me.”Mia usually needed to be urged several times before she was willing to get into the car and head to school. Today, she held Max’s hand happily early in the morning. Eva smiled when she saw the expectant look on Mia’s face.Max followed Mia into the car with a loving look on his face as well.Mia smiled happily for the next few days because Max was with her.…That day, uninvited guests appeared at Elite Kindergarten.The woman in the lead was wearing a black windbreaker with her hair tied back in a ponyt
When they got into the principal’s office, Eva sat on the chair and looked at her anxiously.“What exactly is going on?”“Please don’t worry, Mrs. Langley. The children are fine right now.”The principal smiled and said, “I just found the woman really strange. She seemed to want to get close to Young Mr. Max and Young Miss Mia, but at the same time, she looked like she was being cautious about something. It was quite unusual.”After that, she explained to them in detail what the woman in the windbreaker did and what happened that morning.Nathan quickly requested her to show the name card when he heard the principal still had the name card from the man. He and Eva looked at it carefully.Capital Industries.Nathan sent a picture of the name card to Finn. Less than ten minutes later, Finn replied.“This company doesn’t exist, Mr. Langley. The closest company name to this is Capland Industries. The address and contact information on the name card is fake.”It was fake!Nathan f
Eva’s breathing got erratic, and she turned to look at Nathan. Her voice was cold. “Nathan, I’ll have to ask you to look into her quickly.”She could not allow Wanda to continue to be a threat to her life.Nathan could sense Eva’s fury when he saw the cold look on her face. He nodded.“Don’t worry. I’ll investigate her as soon as possible and find out everything about all that's happening. I’ll drag her out from behind the scenes.”Eva gave a long sigh of relief when she heard his promise.For the past five or six years, Wanda would always appear just as Eva’s life got a little peaceful. She would proceed to disrupt Eva’s life, and Eva did not want anything like this to happen again.All Eva wanted was to stay by Nathan’s side and protect her children while leading a quiet life.After that, Eva leaned against the bed to read, but Nathan could not calm down. Multiple thoughts ran through his mind. He could not help thinking about what Gavin had told him.Wanda Emerson, Maria. Eu
When Nathan opened his eyes, he saw Eva nearby and was secretly relieved.She was still there.For some reason, he felt secure and safe with her by his side.Eva went to him when she saw him awake. She pointed to the food at the side. “That's for you. It’s still hot. I didn’t wake you up because he’s still unconscious.”“Alright.”Nathan got out of bed and cleaned himself up. While eating, he said, “His alcohol poisoning was quite serious. He might've survived, but his body is quite weak. He won’t wake up so soon.”Eva sighed helplessly.The delicious fragrance from the food might have helped because Eugene suddenly opened his eyes while they were talking.It hurt his eyes to see the room so bright.Eugene rubbed his eyes hard. When he was sure that he was smelling a light scent of disinfectant and the delicious fragrance of food, he smiled bitterly.He was not dead.“You’re awake.”Eva quickly walked toward him. “How do you feel? Do you need me to get a doctor?”Eugene tu
Eugene smiled bitterly at Nathan’s words.“Alright, I’ll tell you everything. I’m a sinner. I did something terrible because I used underhanded tactics and forced myself on her. After that, we had Evie.”Eva could not believe what she had just heard as she looked at Eugene in shock.Nathan said nothing as he continued listening.Eugene felt a burden had been lifted after saying this. He said quietly, “We lived with each other in peace back then. We got along well, but when I confessed my feelings for her, she began to avoid me for some reason. "She couldn't stand to be near me, and nothing worked no matter how well Dad and I treated her.”Eugene had confessed to Wanda repeatedly, but she rejected him every single time. In order to distance herself from him, she started being sarcastic to him and gave him the cold shoulder.Eugene finally lost it after multiple times of being rejected.He drugged Wanda and forced himself on her when she was unconscious due to the drug's effects
After Eva was done with her instructions, she turned back to look at Eugene.His lips were cracked, and he looked quite pale. He seemed to have become quite sallow.He had tortured himself until he needed to be hospitalized after Lane Enterprise got into trouble. Everything happened so fast, and it felt like a dream. He was left to think about what to do next after this.Eva sighed softly and turned to follow Nathan out.They got into the car and headed straight toward Cloudy Hills Estate.“I never expected my mother to have such a relationship with the Lanes.”Eva said moodily, “No wonder she left me behind and went away just like that. She even cursed Grandpa on his birthday.”She had sensed then that Wanda must hate the Lanes a lot.Eva turned out to be right.However, why did Wanda wait for so many years before taking her revenge?Nathan comforted her while driving when he noticed the frown on her face.Whatever they were told was just a guess for now.Eva nodded gently
Nathan and Eva enjoyed a quiet life the next few days. Eva woke up in the morning with her stomach feeling terrible.She quickly got out of bed and ran into the bathroom to retch.Nathan woke up from the commotion and gently patted her back. He asked softly, “Are you feeling sick? I’ll get a doctor to come over.”“I’m fine.”Eva recovered eventually and waved the idea off. “Just give me some warm water.”Nathan quickly went to get her the warm water when she asked for it. He looked at her worriedly.After she felt better, he thought about her condition with a frown.She was retching but still refused to see a doctor.After putting two and two together, Nathan looked at her in delight. “Eva, are you…?”His lips trembled excitedly as he looked at her happily, but he still could not believe it. Eva knew she could not hide it any longer and nodded.Her morning sickness was too serious. She had to tell him the truth.“That’s wonderful!”Nathan laughed happily after she confirmed
Eva was enjoying the sun in the garden. She was feeling a little sleepy under the warm sun.Mrs. Wilson came over to report quietly, “Mrs. Langley, the butler and security at the door just informed me that Mr. Lane is here. Do you want to let him in?She was referring to Eugene.Eva was silent for a while. Her drowsiness vanished, and she nodded.A few minutes later, Eugene came in. He noticed how luxurious Thriving Dragon Bay was but did not stare at the things around him. All he did was silently approach Eva.“Evie, I’m here to talk to you about something.”He sighed softly and frowned. There were quite a few wrinkles on his face, and he looked like he had aged a few years. “I hope you can give me a chance to manage Lane Enterprise again.”Eva frowned at him when she heard this.Did he want Lane Enterprise back?When she said nothing, Eugene quickly waved his hands. “Please don’t misunderstand me, Evie. I won’t cause any trouble. Now that I’ve sold Lane Enterprise’ shares to
