The man was in a fitted, bespoke suit that accentuated his tall, slender figure. His body shape was considered the golden ratio standard due to his broad shoulders and thin waist.He had handsome features and an air about him that was god-like. He had the demeanor of a superior being and a commanding presence that struck fear in others.The man slowly got out of the car as the sun shone down on him. There was a soft light around him that made him look dignified.All guests who were present held their breaths at the sight.Many of the female guests were overwhelmed by his beauty.“What a handsome man! Who is he? Just look at him. He’s perfect!”“I have no idea. I’ve never seen him before… He looks like an outstanding person who's on par with Mr. Young…”“Gosh, check out his car. It’s a limited-edition model worth 40 to 50 million. Look at his license plate too. A.L 8888. A refers to North City, and L is his surname! That license plate belongs to only one family in the country—The
Eugene slowly walked toward the main villa under Eugene’s invitation.Pamela and Queenie had now joined them.Eugene immediately introduced them to Nathan, saying, “Mr. Langley, this is my wife, and this is my daughter, Queenie.”Nathan glanced coolly at both of them without saying anything.Pamela was quite overcome with emotions as she said, “It’s our honor that you’re able to grace this party with your presence, Mr. Langley.”Queenie acted shy as she looked coquettishly at Nathan, saying, “I’ve long heard of your reputation, Mr. Langley, and you’re just as outstanding as everyone says you are.”Sam was a little unhappy to see his fiancée looking at another man that way. He went toward her but was given a glare by Pamela.The look in her eyes told him to back off.Sam looked quite upset.Finn noticed this, and a condescending look flashed in his eye.Nathan looked straight ahead as he ignored Queenie and walked right past her.Queenie’s seductive smile froze on her face. S
The Lanes were even more astounded.This was especially so for Eugene, who could not for the life of him understand how a daughter he did not care about could be associated with two exceptional men like them.He wanted to ask more about this, but he backed out from fear of the tense situation going on between the two men.These two were commanding men. Now that they were facing each other down, their personalities collided, and the atmosphere between them became strained. It served as a warning to everyone around them to stay away.Everything seemed to go into an eerie stillstand.“Gosh. First, it was Mason Young. Next, it's someone from the Langleys. When did the Lanes have this kind of connection?”“They’ve really hidden this well. Looks like we’ll have to make an effort to get to know them better.”The others agreed fervently.Eugene heard everything they said and quietly decided to let go of any resentment and hate. He had to keep Eva by his side no matter what.A road to
Eugene was delighted to see him accept the invitation and quickly led Nathan to the VIP room.The other guests who wanted to attempt talking to Nathan sighed with disappointment.…During this time, Eva and her children were still standing where they were in the courtyard.The cold look on Mason’s face was gone, and he was now looking gently at Eva. “Are you alright?”“I’m fine.”Eva shook her head and looked him in the eye. “Thank you for just now, Mason.”“There’s no need to be so polite with me.”Mason sighed helplessly. “You don’t ever need to thank me for anything.”Smiling, Eva did not say anything else.While they were speaking, the two little ones were also whispering to each other secretly.“Max, Mr. Handsome looks exactly like you when you’re angry, especially when he puts on a sour face.”Little Max glared at her with a cool expression. “You don’t know what you’re talking about. The look I give others is called ‘being cool’!”“I know. You're the coolest, and so
Old Mr. Lane’s fingers were trembling from agitation. He almost dropped the medal in his hand.His eyes were red as he looked at the young woman in front of him. His voice was shaking. “Evie… You’re really back?”“Yes, Grandpa. I’m back.”Eva had always been a strong woman.She would bite down and get through any obstacles she faced.However, she could no longer hold back the moment her grandfather called her by her nickname. She lunged at him and cried in the arms of her grandfather.“I missed you so much, Grandpa… So, so very much.”She buried her face in her grandfather’s arms and sobbed hard..All these years of loneliness and sadness were finally unleashed at this moment.Old Mr. Lane knew immediately that she had a hard time out there. Tears filled his eyes as well. “It’s good that you’re back… I missed you a lot too. Why did you leave for so many years, you naughty girl? Have you any idea how worried I was about you?”Eva sobbed even louder at this. She looked more lik
Eugene and his family were curious as well.A lot of strange things were happening today. People kept appearing bearing gifts.Judging by the looks of the box, everyone began wondering if this could be another priceless item.Pamela wanted it for herself and wished fervently she could take it away with her.Queenie was feeling extremely jealous.That slut, Eva, had hogged the spotlight for the entire day!She did not deserve this!Eva had never done anything better than Queenie since they were young. Why was there such a huge change after a few years?!Queenie said while seething with anger, “Hurry up and open it, Eva. There might be an amazing gift inside there…”The guests looked over curiously as well.Eva did not move. She glanced at Mason instead.Mason nodded, indicating that she could open the box.Eva reached out to open the gift.It was not long before the box was opened and everyone finally saw what the gift was.Eva was the first one to see it.She was stunned
In the emergency room, Nathan was relieved to see Eva finally being pushed inside by the doctor.He stood in the corridor and took off his coat. It was only after undoing two buttons on his shirt that his tense body managed to relax.Finn quickly took his coat and asked, “Mr. Langley, should we wait for Miss Lane to come out or do you want to leave?”Before Nathan could reply, he heard panicked footsteps coming from outside the corridor.Mason rushed in with the children in his arms.“How is my mommy, Mr. Handsome?”Max spotted Nathan immediately and quickly asked.Mason put the children down. His eyes were thick with animosity when he looked at Nathan. “Please leave immediately, Mr. Langley. You and Eva don’t know each other well, and she doesn’t need your help. If it’s possible, please refrain from being anywhere near her if such a thing happens again.”Nathan’s eyes narrowed dangerously from being challenged again and again. The atmosphere around him turned tense. “Whatever
Sam took a deep breath and tried his best not to show his temper. He went closer to Queenie to cajole her gently, “Calm down, Queenie. Let’s talk about this. This is all my fault, and I’m sorry. I’ll make sure that you’re my priority from now on, alright? Don’t make this difficult.”Queenie found him even more annoying when she saw what a good-for-nothing he was.This made her even more convinced that only men like Nathan Langley and Mason Young were good enough for her.She said to Sam with a stoic expression, “I’m not making anything difficult. I’ve made my decision about this, Sam. We should stop seeing each other from now on.”Queenie left without waiting for Sam to react.She quickly arrived at Eva’s ward and pushed the door to enter.Eva thought Sam had returned and did not expect to see Queenie’s loathsome face when she looked up.She frowned, looking unhappy as she asked coldly, “What are you doing here?”Mason and the children looked over as well.The children did not
