With the lights turned off, only the soft glow from the moonlight illuminated the area. A bright moon had risen above the sea, and they were sharing this beautiful moment. It set off a mysterious and romantic atmosphere. Initially, Nathan was pacing back and forth on the balcony. When he looked back and saw Hilda, he finally mustered his courage and walked toward her. Under the moonlight, his whole body seemed ablaze. Hilda tilted her head up slightly to look at him. The moonlight seemed to accentuate his looks. In her eyes, he was always going to be the unparalleled Nathan Clemon, and the love of her life. The atmosphere tonight was just right. With the light breeze blowing against her face, she could smell the saltiness in the air. Feeling a slight chill, she tugged at her pajamas around her. "What is it?" She finally asked when she saw Nathan staring at her without saying a word. He lowered his head a little and studied her face. It's been ten years, but she hasn't changed
At the beach, the waves were gently washing up the shore, and the bright moon was high above the water. It was peaceful as the rest of the world was fast asleep. The two of them were standing on the sand with the sea breeze blowing through their hair. All of a sudden, Nathan got down on one knee in front of her and looked up with a passionate gaze. "Hilda Adams, will you marry me?" She had not expected a proposal from him when he dragged her out there. But, quite so, they were also missing a proposal. When he married her ten years ago, she still had problems. Being with him was her only option, so she simply got married to him. Fast forward ten years later, she was no longer the dependent and pitiful young girl that was betrayed. She was the young lady of the Damien Family and the apple of Connie Jordan's eye. With her mother's love and her own business, she no longer lacked anything, and her value was unfathomable. If he wanted to marry her, he had to give his all. Hilda was
There were a number of people who wanted to cry today. It was common to see newlyweds smiling, but it was rare to see the elderly in tears. Connie had red rimmed eyes. Although her grandchild was already five, she still insisted on living with Hilda until now because she just could not bear to let her go. They had lost each other when she was little. While she was all powerful and standing at the peak, her daughter was being trampled on by people and struggling to survive in the dirt. It had only been a few years since they found each other. Before she could even adore her to her heart's content, she was going to leave to some place far away with an unknown man. She was leaving her to go build her own little family. How could Connie accept it? She still owed her too much. Despite wanting to keep her by her side forever, she knew that Hilda was going to get married sooner or later. Once she started to build her own family, she inevitably had to leave. Connie still lived with he
The wedding ceremony was rather shabby and only around thirty guests were invited. Nathan still made a special invitation to Jerome because he was Hilda's biological father, and he could not miss out on this wedding. Currently, Jerome was taking pictures on his phone. On the other side, Linux had given Hilda to Nathan. Even though the two had gotten married a long time ago, Linux still felt reluctant at this moment. While the wedding song was being played, Nathan held Hilda's hands gently and looked at her with a profound gaze. Beaming with a clear brilliance, Hilda also looked up and smiled softly at him. A peculiar yet contented look reflected in her bright eyes. They were just looking at each other, but he could already feel the pleasantness and happiness in her eyes. A surge of warmth reached his eyes and forced their way out as tears. He was just like most grooms who were seeing their beautiful brides for the first time. The rush of emotions caused them to tear up and made
Connie managed to get everyone's attention with just three sentences. They might not have been Connie's son in law, but they could all feel the terror and could not help but look at Nathan with empathy. Feeling tremendous pressure, Nathan watched as Connie came over to hug Hilda and glare at him at the same time. He simply smiled along and even started clapping pretentiously to keep the atmosphere alive. At least they were done with the formalities now. Connie had gotten off the stage after the brief speech. Hilda grasped Nathan's hand and murmured, "She's just scaring you. She would never let you die!" Upon hearing that, Nathan only gave an insincere laugh. When Connie was done talking, Nathan looked at Damian like a lost and helpless child hoping that his father could also say a few things to save him. Damian, however, did not have a lot of experience. All the formalities were over, and it was now time for the awaited bouquet toss. Hilda caught the bouquet two days ago, and
Hilda and Nathan were standing together with a little Luna between them. On either side of them were their parents, Damian, Connie, and Jerome, and also the other family members, Linux, Lily, Johnathan, and Dean. Standing away from everyone else, Anthony was like an invisible person watching them take a family photo Hilda was breathtakingly beautiful standing in the center. Sadly, her beauty was not for him. It was the afternoon, but he felt cold on the inside as if he should not have shown up. Suddenly, Lily shouted, "Wait! Anthony isn't here yet. We can only say 'cheese' once he's here!" Damian looked over at Anthony and beckoned him. "Jayden! Come and take a photo!" Anthony's existence was a pain in the head for him, but Anthony was also a victim. Hilda pressed, "Hurry! You're the only one missing!" I'm the only one missing.. Those simple words warmed his heart. He quickly walked over, stood next to Lily, and smiled. They took the photo as one happy family. The deep affe
Every day, he had nightmares of Luna giving birth to a baby as a teenager, and that the baby looked exactly like Klaus. In order to fulfill his own dying wishes, he started to monitor Klaus's every move in secret to find an opportunity to get the bracelet back. Otherwise, he would feel unsettled even when he was frozen. It was too dangerous for Klaus to have that bracelet in his possession. Every time he saw the bracelet, it would possibly remind him of Luna. Without the bracelet, he would forget about Luna in just a few days. Even though everyone felt like Klaus was a great figure, to Nathan, he was just a deadbeat who sold insurance. Klaus had also come to Taadi City to establish a branch of Durrett Enterprise here. Like the Jordan's, they wanted to have a share of the market in Taadi City. In this big nation with over a billion people, they could make tons even if they sold insurance casually. Alas, Nathan found out that Klaus got a membership at Bilinsk and was working out th
Today was certainly not going well for him! After a while, Anthony rushed over in a hurry. Luckily for him, he made it in time for the last piece of chicken. A moment later, Rex and Thomas appeared with their daughter in tow. They had brought food as well, and all of them gathered around together to have a share. "Papa! Daddy!" Akosua walked between her two fathers, happy as one can be. Dean unzipped his bag, then began to shake its contents onto the mat. Several books dropped out, followed by a stream of snacks, jellies, and a little gift box decorated with pink garlands. Lily was pleasantly surprised. "Dean, where'd you get all these?" Dean's signature scowl remained on his face. "Someone from the high school next door gave it to me." They could tell at once that it was from a girl. Hilda picked up a box of jelly, then ripped it open and ate it. It was obvious that it was the handiwork of a girl. She said merrily, "It's no doubt that someone likes our Dean is the school jo
Three months later, the five generations of the huge family were gathered happily together in Nathan's Villa of the Imperial. Old Master Clemon, who was still alive and kicking, held in his arms junior Klaus with a broad smile on his face, while Zis was also all smiles as he held the other junior Klaus. Nathan was staring at Klaus hostilely. "Mr. Klaus, pardon me, but I'll make sure to cut you up into pieces if you get any closer to my daughter!" He held a chilly gaze while asserting his presence. All of a sudden, there was a fierceness about him. However, Klaus only gave him a smirk. "Haha, I don't think you have any say in this, Mr. Clemon." On the contrary, Connie seemed to side with Klaus, as she began chiding Nathan. "You should keep your mouth shut! The kids know what they're doing!" Although Nathan seemed to have backed down, he was still glaring at Klaus. Without warning, Zis, who was the eldest of the in laws, put on a stern look on his face while lecturing Connie, "M
Just like that? Why does she sound so nonchalant about it? My daughter was only six years old when she slept with a twenty year old guy! As her mother, shouldn't she have stopped her? "Times have changed. Besides, the kids are all grown up now, so isn't it normal to have desires? Don't you worry, as I gave her detailed guidance beforehand, as well as showed her educational videos to teach her more about sex." Hilda explained. Nathan's face blanched, wanting to just faint once more. However, Hilda went on. "Linux even developed a condom that helps relieve the pain, as well as increase the pleasure one experiences during sexual intercourse. It will also alert the users if it detects a virus. Besides, Klaus did a checkup beforehand to ensure that he was clean." "I also told him to be careful so as to not hurt Luna before I agreed to let them have sex." There was a livid expression on Nathan's already pale face. Has the world undergone so much transformation during the past ten year
Justin stood in a corner in abjection before suddenly laughing in a self deprecating manner. He turned around to look for Anne, only to find her still actively trying to approach Luna in an attempt to strike up a conversation with her. Never in her wildest dreams had she expected the girl to be Luna Clemon, the daughter of a security guard whom she despised. After Klaus entered the venue, he didn't even spare a glance at the other ladies present for the occasion, save for Luna, the girl who was the center of attention. As the main protagonist who made her appearance after everybody else, the ball began after Luna showed up. She led the first dance with Giry, who moved in a coquettish manner throughout the entire dance due to how elated he was. After the first dance, some of the guests left the floor to get some rest, while others continued dancing after switching partners. Giry was forced to let go of Luna after that and wait for the next dance on the sidelines as he shouldn't be
There were a lot of prestigious people present for the occasion, including male guests who were members of royal families. Klaus Adams, whom Justin didn't manage to meet, would also be there, so he could seize the opportunity to connect to people of status. Luna won't be able to provide me with such an opportunity. He took a sip out of his wine to forget the feelings of bitterness within him while he admitted his defeat. I don't belong to Luna, nor is the opposite possible, as we belong to two different worlds. All of a sudden, there was a commotion in the hall as the hosts from Smith Group showed up. Jerome Bowen and Connie Frimpong were the ones to show up first, whereas Hilda Adams and Linux Jordan followed behind. They're here! The crowd moved in their direction with anticipation in their minds. The main protagonist will be here soon! The girl who has a net worth of hundreds of billions, as well as being the heir of prestigious families including the Damien Family, the Clemon
Anne also received an invitation to attend the ladies' ball, which was something that someone at the bottom of the social pyramid would never get to know and join in on, they practically lived in two different worlds. It wasn't until then that he knew how different they were. While Justin would never eat street food with Luna, her current boyfriend was willing to do so. Gritting his teeth, Justin left without a word, as if having made a decision. This time, he was finally able to leave her behind, even if they met each other again in the future, he would treat her like a stranger. There was a time when he used to want to spend his life with Luna, as he never met someone as intelligent and kind as her. Even if she was no better than other people, she was at least better than Anne in both regards. However, they could never get together. His family would never agree to the match due to the fact that Luna couldn't help his family climb the social ladder like how Anne could. It wasn't
A month later, the military training ended with Giry having bruises all over his face. On the other hand, both Luna and Klaus had a tan when they returned. They had also gotten to the stage of holding hands all the time with each other. As usual, Connie maintained her deathly glare when she met Klaus. She had arranged a group of people to join the military training, hoping that they could teach Klaus a lesson, but all of them wound up being intimidated by him. Geez! That bunch of cowards! Even Connie herself was beginning to acknowledge that she no longer stood a chance against Klaus by now, say less of anybody else. She was getting older, so it was time to hand things over to the next generation. Now, Klaus was the young, determined, and ambitious one, whereas Connie had aged, so she was no longer the former's opponent. Therefore, she could only watch as Klaus dated her granddaughter. After the military training, Luna's eighteenth birthday was approaching fast, which would mark
Jumping with joy, Luna latched herself to Yaa. "Marie! When did you arrive?" Yaa warmed up to Luna upon seeing the latter. "We'll be welcoming the freshers today. They seem to be a little disobedient! How dare a bunch of newbies be so arrogant?" The girls walked away while they chatted, but Yaa didn't speak with Klaus when they saw each other, as they both considered it sufficient as a greeting when they exchanged looks earlier. Therefore, Klaus pushed his bike while walking beside the girls as they spoke, all the while mentally exclaiming on how Yaa had bloomed into her true self by staying with the Cannons, that was where she truly belonged. Yaa was feared among the freshers. Furthermore, Justin Clark had his name called out directly by her earlier, so he almost burst into tears out of his intense fear for her. At that moment, Adwoa appeared out of nowhere to scare him. "Aha! You're done for! The general called for you! Justin, you should be prepared! The following month will b
The moment Connie's words were heard, Luna's reaction was the most intense. "Grandma, what do you mean by that? Why are you talking about him being worthy or otherwise? We're just friends!" Although we... we kissed the other time, neither of us ever brought that day up again. Therefore, they were still at the beautiful stage where things were fuzzy. Hence, Connie's proclamation burst the bubble, making the situation exceedingly awkward. Klaus, who was eating, stilled for a moment, but he said nothing. Upon seeing this, Connie was in seventh heaven. Finally, I've found his Achilles heel! Putting on her authoritative air as an elder, she loftily asserted, "My granddaughter will never marry a man who doesn't even have a high school diploma." All at once, the atmosphere turned awkward, and Luna's face flushed bright red from mortification. At this time, Hilda hurriedly smoothed things over, exclaiming, "What are you saying, mom? What's this about marrying and all?" She should at last l
The old son in law was indeed zealous, for he brought back gifts for everyone, including Jerome, Connie, and Luna's uncles. Despite Connie's staring match with Klaus earlier, she hugged her gift to her chest, reluctant to put it down for even a second. Klaus's gift to her was a handwritten score from her favorite pianist back when she was young, so she truly loved it. Meanwhile, Adwoa got a set of Western European non mainstream fashionable clothes, and she seemed besotted as well. Klaus even had gifts for Luna's friends, including Giry, Dean, and the others. He distributed the gifts one by one. At the end of it, he took out a tiny gift and waved a beckoning hand toward the back of the house. "Kater!" Woof! A husky scampered out in a mad flurry. Then, Klaus unwrapped the gift to reveal an adorable ball. Gratified, Kater left with it in its mouth. "Tangerine! Orange! Lemon! Gordon! Goldstein!" Upon hearing their names, the few orange cats padded over, meowing all the way. Klaus
