Nathan had been busy during the last few days of December. The incident of the G cup woman was not just about Kyle but also about Connie. Hence, Nathan had to investigate the other party's intentions. Unexpectedly, when Nathan got home after settling this matter for the whole day, he found the roses in the greenhouse that he had planted for more than half a year were stolen. Nathan stared at the big fresh hole in a daze. Lily then explained, "The blond man next door said that he wanted to borrow your roses but it was too troublesome to pick them one by one. So, he dug out the whole plot of land and he'll return them when he successfully cheers up his wife." Upon hearing that, Nathan was speechless. He decided then and there to ignore their family affairs from now on. Kyle deserved to be raped if there ever was a next time! On December 29, Hilda said she had something to do after dinner, so Nathan followed along. They went to a bar in the West Valley of Taadi City and since it w
On New Year's Eve, Nathan was making preparations to spend the new year at home. This year's New Year's Eve dinner would be a potluck with homemade dishes, it was more flavorful after all. In the end, many came to his home to celebrate the new year. "Commander, we're here!" "Hello Uncle Nathan!" Rex and Thomas brought Akosua over. Because these two adopted the child, their relationship with the Cannon Family was very tense. Thus, Rex refused to go back home, which was why he came to celebrate the new year at Nathan's place. Akosua was growing up into a good kid. She was very lively and she was a sweet talker, always calling Nathan 'Uncle Nathan' sweetly when she saw him. Upon seeing Akosua, Nathan carried her and gave her a kiss. Today, the children that Hilda bought from abroad were all gathered here. Connie and Linux were also here today. Meanwhile, Dona had dropped by in the morning and kneeled in front of Kyle and Sonnia to apologize. "I'm sorry, Kyle, I was wrong. I'll
Although it was New Year's Eve, there were still some cars on the road so Winnifred drove cautiously. Suddenly, Dona said, "I contacted a doctor abroad and the doctor said that I can..." Before he could finish speaking, Winnifred interrupted, "The surgery is risky. You're fine as you are now." Hearing this, Dona shut up. The car turned a corner and he suddenly said, "I want to adopt a child. Would a son or a daughter be better?" Winnifred was driving attentively but she suddenly reached over and grabbed his hand. Even though Dona had a man's bone structure, his skin was really fair and soft like a woman's. "We'll just have to wait a little longer. Soon, I'll be the head of the Jones Family and nobody will be able to stop us. When that time comes, you can have as many children as you want." Hearing this, Dona smiled bitterly. She's right, we are not in a position to adopt a child yet! He then looked at Winnifred and for the nth time, wanting to break up with her. But we have be
The whole family glanced at each other in confusion. They left silently days ago so they should be in Smith City right now. Why did they suddenly come to Taadi City today? Nobody knew what tricks Jerome had up his sleeve and even Connie couldn't figure him out. Only Luna rushed out excitedly to greet him. However, Hilda realized that something was wrong so she immediately chased after her in a hurry. It was extremely lively at the gates of the community that day as there were many people standing around. Hilda held Luna's hand and took her to the gates, where she soon saw the people from the Durrett Family, Jerome, and his sons. Is Jerome really here? As soon as Luna walked out of the gates, she rushed toward Jerome. It seems like she really likes Mister Handsome. Jerome was dressed really casually that day. He wore a camel colored coat, a hat, and a mask that covered half of his face. His two sons standing next to him were feeling so cold that their noses had turned red, but the
Teddy stood by the roadside and his charming European eyes were filled with disdain and contempt. "It seems that Connie... is really scared to see me." He purposely raised his voice as he spoke. It was as if he was reminding Hilda but at the same time, Teddy sounded like he was boasting. He was confident that as long as he did a little seducing, any woman would fall for him. Hearing this, Hilda stopped in her tracks. Then, she suddenly turned her head around and said tactfully, "Mister Teddy, you probably don't know the customs in Taadi. We celebrate New Year's Eve so it is not convenient for us to receive visitors. Please leave." Teddy didn't seem to pay attention at all as he countered, "Doesn't Taadi have a saying that goes, 'it's a pleasure to have friends coming from afar'? Besides, I'm not a visitor, I'm Connie's fiancé. We will be family soon." When Teddy said this, he gave Jerome a provocative glance. In his eyes, Jerome, who was casually dressed was no competition at all
Teddy, who was left at the gates, was still in shock. How did Connie and Jerome get together? "This is truly unexpected! Jerome Bowen.." Teddy clenched his fists tightly and muttered, "I will make sure you lose everything!" Valerie admired her father a lot but she didn't understand what they were talking about just now. What is he going on about? He really is skilled in the Taadi language! "Let's go!" Teddy was extremely confident in his charm and he couldn't wait any longer. I have waited for twenty years. This time, I must marry Connie! Looking at the rooftop of the towering Villa, Teddy murmured, "We still have a long road ahead. Just you wait and see, let's see who will have the last laugh!" Valerie finally couldn't hold back her curiosity so she asked, "Dad, what does 'the last laugh' mean? Why will you laugh?" Teddy glared at Valerie fiercely. This daughter of mine really worries me. Even though she has bosom, she inherited the brains of her shabby noble mother! She's
Jerome was dressed really low key that day. Seeing that Jerome was walking over, Connie was a little excited but she pretended to stay calm. She stepped forward and said, "Hi, Jerome." She reached out to shake Jerome's hand but it was only then that she realized her hand was covered in flour, so she hurriedly withdrew her hand in embarrassment. Jerome also noticed Connie drawing her hand back so he murmured, "Luna said that there is something you need my help with so I came over. Am I intruding?" Connie glanced at the clever Luna and smiled helplessly. "No, you're not. You're a distinguished guest." Hence, Jerome entered the kitchen and looked around. The kitchen in their house was pretty huge and they had several stoves. The whole family was cooking that day so everybody was extremely busy. Then, he saw that Connie's family was kneading dough so he asked curiously, "Are you preparing to bake cinnamon rolls? I'd like to give it a try, can I join you?" Linux and Hilda glanced a
Meanwhile, Hilda took out some wine that she brewed. Seeing that, Rex instantly held up his glass and said, "Quickly, Hil, I can't wait." At the same time, Jerome caught a whiff of the aroma as Hilda poured a glass for Rex. "What wine is that? Can I try some?" He asked And so, Hilda served some for Jerome too. Looking downward, she did not lay eyes on Jerome and only dared to stare at the wine glass as the clear and aromatic wine flowed out from the bottle. "This is plum wine." Hilda explained. Jerome thanked her and thereafter took a sip of it. Instantly, Jerome's mouth was filled with the aroma of the wine. What a wonderful taste! As the fruity liquor enveloped his tongue, it felt as if he was standing amidst a forest full of plum trees in blossom, the scent lingering on his palate even after he swallowed the wine. After tasting the wine, Jerome exclaimed in admiration, "Did you brew this? It's amazing!" Still not daring to look at Jerome, Hilda answered, "Yes, I did." After
