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
After informing Old Mr. Lane and Eugene about this, Eva left with Nathan and the children for Old Langley Manor.Robert and Old Mr. Langley were seated on the sofa. Rebecca was massaging Robert on the shoulder, and she smiled at Eva and Nathan when they came back.Nathan and Eva brought the children over to them with a smile and greeted everyone.“Grandpa, Dad.”After they were done greeting everyone, Mia and Max ran to Old Mr. Langley with big smiles on their faces.“We missed you so much, Great-grandpa.”“I missed you too.”Old Mr. Langley nuzzled their faces gently with his goatee as his precious grandchildren hugged him. “You’re good kids who are much better than your father.”“Daddy missed you too.”The children smiled and explained, “But Great-Grandpa, Daddy likes Mommy the most now. Mommy has a baby inside her, and next time, all three of us will miss Great-Grandpa together.”Huh?Old Mr. Langley, Robert, and the others were stunned. They looked at Eva, and when they
“What’s wrong?”When she saw Lucy biting hard on her lip, Eva asked, “Where does it hurt?”“My tummy hurts.”Lucy clutched her tummy and kept screaming, “I can’t take it anymore. My tummy hurts. Hun… Hunter, where are you? It really hurts.”She kept trembling and could not sit still. She fell to the floor, where she continued screaming.Eva was stunned and quickly got Nathan and Hunter.When they got into the kitchen, they saw Lucy biting hard on her lip. Her lip was now bleeding, and she looked terribly pale.What was wrong with her?Hunter realized something was not right and went up to hold Lucy in his arms. “What’s wrong, Lulu? Don’t be afraid. I’ll take you to the hospital right now. Hold on!”He carried Lucy in his arms, and she wrapped her hands tightly around his neck. She grabbed his shoulders hard. “Hunter, my shoulders hurt. It hurts a lot. Ah! Help me, Hunter!”After that, she screamed once more.The commotion in the kitchen was too loud. Even Robert and Rebecca
Nathan gently held Eva’s hand in the corridor of the hospital.Her hand was freezing, and the look in her eyes was blank. She must have been frightened by Hunter’s threat. Nathan warmed her hands with his lovingly.It was not long before James and Sue arrived. After asking Hunter about the situation, they looked at Eva coldly.Eva could not help but tremble slightly.“Don’t be afraid.” Nathan noticed something wrong with her and whispered in her ear, “I’m here with you.”Eva felt slightly better after Nathan consoled her.When she stopped trembling, Nathan asked in a low voice, “Do you know what happened?”Hunter immediately suspected Eva when Lucy miscarried.Lucy’s stomach hurt after drinking the soup!Eva shook her head at his question. “I have no idea. I was planning to give Rebecca the soup, but she wasn't around. When I came back, Lucy had finished it. After that, her stomach began to hurt.” She had no idea why Lucy’s stomach would hurt.Could there really be some
Nathan and Eva had a room at Old Langley Manor. It was on the third floor, and they had stayed a night the last time they were here.When Hunter insisted on searching the room, Nathan nodded.“Go ahead.”When Hunter turned to leave, he questioned coldly, “What will you do if you can’t find anything?”Hunter could not be searching every corner of the manor for evidence, could he?He clenched his fists and said coldly, “If I can’t find anything, I’ll apologize to Aunt Eva and admit that I made a mistake with this.“But if I find any evidence, Uncle Nathan, I won’t be holding back.”Hunter headed up the stairs after saying this. James watched as Hunter went upstairs. He looked coldly at Nathan and Eva. “You should go up too. I don’t want you claiming that we maligned you.”Nathan did not object and he led Eva upstairs together.Once they were all upstairs, Hunter began searching through the bedroom. He even checked the pajamas Eva had worn while staying the night here.Nathan fr
