The children were pretty cheeky. They looked lively and adorable, and Eva could not help gently rubbing their heads.“Do you even know what being together means?”“Yes, we do. We know what Mommy and Daddy are trying to do.”Max said proudly, “Mommy and Daddy want Mr. Scott and Miss Rose to be together like Mommy and Daddy.”Their children were very intelligent. Eva blushed as she glared at Nathan. “You’re the one who has been teaching them all this nonsense.”“I’m innocent.”Nathan laughed softly. He turned to look at Scott and Rose sitting at the dining table and said in a low voice, “It depends on how they get along now.”Their mission was accomplished.Eva and the children quietly looked out. They were relieved to see Rose and Scott chatting in a friendly manner.Scott and Rose were still talking at the dining table on the first floor.Rose enjoyed the fish dish, and Scott had noticed this. He put some fish on her plate before smilingly saying, “Miss Lawson, what do you th
In the hospital ward of Central Hospital, Lucy sat in a daze on her bed.She had been here for a few days.Lucy was always in a daze during this time, and she could not seem to hear anything anyone said. She only knew to eat when she was hungry and drank when she was thirsty. It seemed like this was all that was left of her.Everyone was saying that she had been scared silly by the Langleys’ stern punishment.Lucy’s hospital ward was not far away from the ob-gyn. Two nurses walked into her ward with a tray of food around noon.There was a normal dish of chicken and salad. There was also a bowl of mushroom soup, but the soup was quite bland with not many mushrooms in it.The nurse, who was a little plump, was used to the routine. She sighed while the other nurse went forward familiarly. They held Lucy on the left and right as they stuffed the food roughly into her mouth.Lucy chewed on the food robotically with an empty look in her eyes.“What a terrible ending to her life.”Th
“Has she really gone crazy?”Nathan’s tone was cold, and the doctor quickly answered Nathan with his head lowered, “Yes. It’s impossible to fake her brainwaves. Chances of her recovering are very low.”The only way for her to get better was if the person she was obsessed with appeared right in front of her.Nathan was silent for a long time when he heard the doctor’s words.The person she was obsessed with, was it Mason?He was dead.Nathan gave a long sigh before answering with indifference, “Alright.”After the doctor left, Nathan called Old Mr. Langley to inform him of Lucy’s situation.Old Mr. Langley frowned, and his aged voice sounded cold as he said, “Alright. Inform James about this.”Lucy was his daughter-in-law, after all.Nathan agreed and Old Mr. Langley did not say anything further as he hung up.After that, Nathan called James. There was nothing much to say between these two brothers. When Nathan brought up the issue of Lucy being crazy, James did not seem to b
Scott returned to his work after he was done talking to Nathan. Nathan continued going through his documents in the office.It was four in the afternoon, and the children’s class was having a talent competition.This competition was held every Wednesday, and the children would perform on stage on this day. When a student was performing, the other children below the stage would score them.At the end of the competition, the scores would be calculated, and the average score would be the student’s final result for the competition.The first to go on stage was Bella.Amy let her have the stage after walking down from it. Bella was wearing a sky-blue dress, and her hair was braided with little blue bells on them. She hugged her violin and got onto the stage.Her long, slender fingers gently held the bow as a melodious sound echoed in the classroom.The violin's music was beautiful, and Bella played it very well. However, the children began to show looks of disappointment.Why was sh
The car drove smoothly ahead. The children were quiet as they frowned while thinking seriously. Nathan was in no hurry to hear their answer, so he waited patiently for them.He parked at the doors of Thriving Dragon Bay, and the children chatted with each other for a while before following him out of the car. They hugged his arm on each side.“Daddy, we’d like to try a barbecue.”They took nearly half the day just to come up with this?Nathan laughed and held their hands to reply, “Alright, I’ll take you and Mommy to have it. She won’t be happy if only three of us went.” “Alright!” The children smiled happily when their daddy agreed.Eva was not willing to go out for dinner as Mrs. Wilson had already prepared it. It would be a waste not to eat it.However, when she found out it was to celebrate Mia getting the championship for her class’ talent competition, Eva stopped objecting to it. She smiled as she agreed to the children’s request. She got into the car with themThe fam
The next morning, an invitation was sent to Thriving Dragon Bay.It was from Tyler.Nathan and Eva looked at the invitation. It was red with gold rims. The wording was also in gold. It was an invitation to the wedding of Tyler and Raven.Eva frowned.His wedding?She looked calm about it. “We can forget about this. It’s best that we don’t attend it.”Tyler had always given her an impression of being cold and vicious. He was like a venomous snake hidden in a dark corner that could take her life at any timeNeedless to say, Wanda was just as dangerous.Every time she made an appearance, Eva’s peaceful life would be thrown into complete chaos. Tyler was her subordinate, and she did not want anything to do with either of them.She wanted to avoid them. Why would she want to see them? Nathan knew what she was worried about when he saw the look on Eva’s face. He held her hand gently, and the warmth from his palms warmed her heart as well.“Don’t be afraid.”He said to her in a l
Eva drank some milk and saw Raven still staring at her. Frowning, she asked, “What are you looking at?”“Looking at you, slut.”Raven added in a low voice, “If you have a shred of conscience in you, come and have a chat with me at the corner. This is a big day, and I don’t want to embarrass you in public.”She was cold and sarcastic, and the guests nearby overheard her. They looked embarrassed but pretended they did not hear a thing as they continued eating and drinking. Eva did not continue sitting there and chose to leave with Raven.They went behind another pillar.Tyler and Nathan were still talking to each other, which was why Raven did not hold back. She looked Eva up and down before saying coldly, “You’re a slut, Eva Lane. You caused Mason’s death, you vicious woman!”Eva turned silent at her words.She did not expect Raven to be in love with Mason too.Before Mason went mad, he was a handsome gentleman who somehow always attracted women who were willing to sacrifice for
Nathan said nothing, and the children looked disappointed. Max let go of Eva and jumped into Nahtan’s arms. He hugged Nathan tightly, refusing to let go. “Please let me go, Daddy. Uncle Felix said that this is a rare opportunity for the tournament. They only have it once every three years. There won’t be another chance if I miss this.”“Nonsense.” Nathan’s tone was slightly cool. “You’ll always have another opportunity if you miss this one.”“I won’t have another chance!”Max kept swinging Nathan’s hand. “Daddy, my wonderful Daddy. Please let me go. I promise I’ll listen to you and Uncle Felix. I won’t cause any trouble and focus only on the tournament.”He blinked his eyes adorably, and he looked like a cute little puppy wagging his tail. Nathan’s heart softened. He was about to agree when he heard Eva coughing behind him.Nathan quickly sat up straight and looked at the children sternly. “You’ll have to get your mommy’s permission first.”They quickly jumped into Eva’s arms
