They chatted for a while. Rose was very humorous and kept making Eva laugh. They had to end the call unwillingly in the end, but they made plans to continue chatting after Rose returned home.Eva sighed as she watched her phone screen dimmed.Rose was a good person.She passed her phone to Yelena while she crouched in the flower field and continued taking care of the bulbs of the sleeping Pygmy Water Lilies.The blooming period of the Pygmy Water Lilies had ended, and after what she went through at Old Langley Manor, she decided to get Nathan to take her back to Cloudy Hills Mansion. He would pick her up the next day.She was just in time to see Yelena trimming the roots of the lilies, and Eva followed her into the flower field.Taking care of her flowers was a great way to heal her emotions.When taking care of the lilies, all of Eva’s anger and resentment disappeared. There was only peace.…It was nighttime at Old Langley Manor.Old Mr. Langley had turned off the lights in
It was already past six when Nathan arrived at Cloudy Hills Estate with the children.When they saw Eva, the children happily ran to her and hugged her legs. They looked up at her with big smiles and shouted, “Mommy!”“Yes, I’m here.”Eva rubbed their little heads gently and hugged them. “How was school today?”“It was fine. Max was praised by our teacher this morning. She said his math skills have improved.”Mia clenched her little fists after telling Eva about it. “Don’t worry, Mommy. I’ll work harder too and get the teacher to praise me one day.”She was a stubborn little girl, and Eva knew that long ago. She nodded and smiled as she rubbed Mia’s head.Yelena had prepared dinner early, and Old Mr. Lane came downstairs for the meal. He was in a happy mood with the family of four accompanying him for dinner. They had a wonderful time together.After dinner, Old Mr. Lane looked at Eva.“Evie, why don’t you and Nathan stay the night? Your father will be picking me up tomorrow m
Sam was very respectful of them. He said to them softly, “Thank you for coming to our wedding, Mr. and Mrs. Langley. I’m very grateful that you’re here as my sister-in-law and brother-in-law.”“We’re happy to be here.”Nathan humored him coolly. Sam smiled and nodded. He glanced at Queenie, who was not far away, and called out to her loudly, “What are you standing here for? Come over here and show your respect to your sister and brother-in-law.”Queenie came over unwillingly when she heard him calling. She did not look happy about it.Sam sneered when he saw her dragging her feet over to them. He shouted at her, “What’s wrong? Have you gone mute? Greet them!”He was authoritative, and Queenie quietly accepted it. They seemed to have exchanged personalities. Nathan and Eva were astonished by this.Sam had changed.He was no longer the warm, positive man who gave in to every one of Queenie’s demands.Nathan gave a small smile and held Eva’s hand tight. She looked closely at Sam a
Queenie was about to go mad with anger. Her eyes were red as she stared darkly at Sam. Sam was unperturbed by the look on her face and grabbed her by the chin.His grip was strong, forcing Queenie to look up at him.“What’s wrong? Feeling unhappy?”Sam grunted coldly and said, “You should know what’s good for you. If I hadn’t saved you, you would've ended up rotting beneath that cold lake. You should be grateful to me your entire life!”He brought up the matter of him saving her again.Queenie frowned and looked at him resentfully. She was clenching her fists.Since getting their marriage registered, he changed into a different person. He was no longer soft and gentle with her but treated her coldly and tormented her. Queenie was not able to get a divorce and was forced to have a wedding.She might as well have died beneath the lake!Queenie’s tears were about to fall, but it only annoyed Sam further. His grip on her chin got even more forceful. “What’s wrong? Losing your tempe
Eva’s heart tightened at Nathan’s words.He sounded serious, and his tone was warm when he said this. He was not joking with her.However, she had never thought about what would happen if he died.What would a world without him be like?Eva could not help shaking her head hard to get rid of that thought. She poked his nose gently with her finger and said unhappily, “It doesn’t need to be a boy. A girl could do the job as well. Our Mia is strong, and I’ll become strong too. I have to protect all three of my children.”“Alright. You’re right, my strong wife.”Nathan said softly and kissed her gently on the forehead.His warm kiss touched her forehead briefly, and Eva’s mind went blank momentarily. She looked at him as she blushed slightly. She later lowered her head to caress her stomach.She came to a decision.Eva had thought this through.The moment he kissed her, her mind became clear and the dark cloud looming over her disappeared. It was like it was never there at all.W
The next morning, Nathan had some free time and did not need to go back to Langley Corporation after dropping the children off at school. He planned to take Eva out shopping.He had not brought her out since she got pregnant, and he felt a little bad about it.They were about to head out when the security guard informed them that Rose was there.Nathan quickly got the guards to let her in. Eva got up to make some tea for Rose.She remembered that Rose enjoyed silver tips tea.Eva had just made the tea when Rose entered the living room. When she saw Nathan and Eva there, she smiled and went up to Eva first to hug her affectionately.“I’m here to bother you and Nathan again, Eva.”“What are you saying, Rose? I’m happy that you’re here.”Eva returned the hug and pulled her to the sofa. She asked softly, “When did you come back? I had no idea you were back. No one mentioned anything about it.”“I just came back.”Rose placed two bags by the side and smiled as she said, “I booked
Empire Hotel was a renowned hotel in the city center. Rose was holding the wine appreciation event here and had invited many known businessmen within the country, many of whom Nathan knew well.They had just gotten out of the car when people came to surround them.People like Sunny Walden and Cabot Baker came to greet Nathan with a smile. Cabot was a plump man who squeezed his way out of the crowd and successfully stood next to Nathan.“We finally meet, Mr. Langley. I wanted to meet you back in the Northern District, but I didn’t get the chance. What a coincidence to be seeing you here today.”He was all smiles, and his plump face looked like a blooming flower from all the smiling. Nathan had to smile in return. He said in a low voice, “I had some issues at home and was not able to meet everyone at the time.”The expressions of everyone around him froze when they heard hits.They had a friendly relationship with Nathan. They had all heard about how issues had arisen with the Lang
The wine got to Nathan when he returned to Thriving Dragon Bay. He felt dizzy from all the drinking.All that red wine had a kick to it.Nathan’s handsome face was a little red. He exhaled gently and went into the living room. The children immediately came to him and hugged him on each leg.“Where did you go, Daddy?”Nathan smiled when he saw his babies. “I went to a wine appreciation event during the day.”“Oh.”They nodded as if they understood what it was. Eva quickly pulled them away and said in a slightly stern tone, “Let your daddy have some rest.”“Alright.”The children returned to their rooms obediently. Nathan sat limply on the sofa and rubbed between his eyes gently. He said softly, “You don’t need to be so harsh with them.”“I know.”Eva smiled. “It’s just that you’ve had a lot to drink, and I was worried that you aren’t feeling well.”She got Mrs. Wilson to make some hot tea after that and brought it over to Nathan. While he was enjoying the warmth of the tea, s
