It was William who broke the silence. He raised his bowl of wine and said, "It's not easy for all of us to gather together. Many comrades even specially came over from other states. Come, let's have a toast!"Dozens of bowls filled with hard liquor were raised. After all, true men only drank hard liquor. Hilda, who was covering her face with a bowl, suddenly felt her bowl being taken away. Drunk, she looked at Nathan with a flushed face, not daring to speak. There was even slight fear in her gaze.Meanwhile, Nathan didn't even look at her. Instead, he poured liquor into her bowl and made a toast together with everyone. Hilda looked up at him and watched as he gulped down a whole bowl of hard liquor in a few mouthfuls.After Nathan finished drinking, he pulled out a row of milk from his lap and even tore open the packaging, inserting straws before he quietly pushed it in front of Hilda. She glanced at him like an aggrieved but happy puppy before lowering her head to drink. It was when
Meanwhile, Hilda slipped under Samuel's arm and escaped his grip. She helped Nathan up and looked at his handsome features, face swollen and nose bleeding."We were having such a good time. Why did you two have to end up fighting?"William got up to his feet and wiped away the blood under his nose. Even though he looked angry, he said to Nathan, "Nathan, your martial art skills are as strong as back then. Thank you for going easy on me."Nathan wiped his bleeding nose and replied, "Likewise."With that, Briana propped William up and staggered as they left. Right before they left the room, Briana turned around and glanced at Nathan meaningfully. He lowered his head, looking at the bruises on his fists before limping forward to take a seat. Meanwhile, Hilda was so shocked she was about to cry. She simply couldn't understand how they suddenly got into a fightNathan was beaten so badly that his eyes were swollen and there was a steady stream of blood flowing down from his nose to his chi
Nathan turned around held onto the bag of ice and said nothing. Later, he entered the study, switching on his computer and logging onto his messenger. Sure enough, he saw Hilda online. Nathan logged into his messenger and started to chat with Hilda.'Hun." He greeted.However, Hilda didn't reply to him.Not willing to give up, he messaged her again. 'Pumpkin.' Still, he didn't receive any reply. 'Hilda! Hil!Hunny! My darling! My princess...'He waited for more than ten minutes but Hilda didn't type a word back.After Hilda was done with some files, she was finally willing to speak. 'Do you know what you've done wrong?'Nathan replied, 'I shouldn't have fought. I made a mistake and I won't do it again next time. Hun, I beg you to forgive my sins.''Is there going to be a next time?'Nathan quickly replied, "I wouldn't dare! From now on, when I see William, I will definitely take a detour.''Nathan, you're a b*stard!''Yes, I am a b*stard!'It wasn't until the middle of the night when
Nathan looked at her but she didn't answer even after a long time. At that moment, only the night lights were switched on in the room and all they could hear was the pitter patter of the rain from outside. The sound came in waves and it was steady and quiet, but it filled their world completely.Hearing the sound of rain, Hilda's worries gradually calmed but she was still in a daze. One is an unforgettable relationship and the other is simple and warm.Must I only choose one?Even though he will always remember an unforgettable relationship, it will go by in a flash and wouldn't last forever. A simple and warm relationship can last a long time but it seems to be missing some excitement and passion. Love would then become as plain as daily necessities and like rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea, it will eventually deteriorate. All the passion and excitement will be gradually worn away and disappear with time. Meanwhile, Nathan kept his head lowered, waiting for Hilda's answer.In
"Hey, Mason! I have come to visit today." The elder said excitedly as soon as he saw Mark. Hearing this, Mark stroked the cat in his arms in frustration and replied, "Mason? I'm Mark!"When Mark saw the elder of the Damien family, he felt an unbearable heartache. However, after one look at the girl beside him, Mark wasn't sure how to feel. The Damien family was full of cunning people.Tehilla, who was standing to one side, watched the two old men communicate like idiots. The corner of her lips curled into a mocking grin and her eyes were filled with impatience. If it weren't for Mark, a well known warrior across the land of Taadi and a powerful man in the Cannon family, she wouldn't waste her time with these two. After hiding the disgust and impatience in her eyes, Tehilla smiled brightly as she opened the chessboard and said, "Old Master Cannon, it's me, Tehilla Damien. It's been a long time since I last played chess with you. How about a game of chess right now?"Tehilla had played
Soon it was dinner time. Mark quickly made a call to Rex to bring Hannah and join them to have dinner. It wasn't long before Rex arrived with Hannah in tow. He was still wearing the suit he put on for the business meeting and looked elegant. But as they got closer, they notice the elder throwing a tantrum.Rex walked over worriedly and quickly held onto the elder, who was still throwing a tantrum. Before Tehilla hurriedly got his medicine and handed it to him.Rex seemed to be used to these situations as he hurriedly brought a glass of water for his medicine.Seeing this, Tehilla started to panic. Having no other choice, she decided to bring the elder home. "Mr. Damien, let's go back home. Come, let's head home!"Everyone was anxious and Tehilla just wanted to leave.Initially, she was planning to ask Mark for clues but the sudden episode ruined everything. Bringing this silly old man here was the worst decision ever.Tehilla took a step forward and was prepared to ask her bodyguard
The military compound was the Cannon's' turf, so Hilda was not worried about her safety at all. Just by taking a couple of steps back, someone would immediately jump out to stop Tehilla's bodyguards.Sure enough, the bodyguard had only taken two steps when he felt a gust of cold wind and then a cold, black muzzle was pressed against his head. Horrified, he turned and saw that a uniformed man had appeared behind him silently with a pistol aimed at the back of his head. "Don't move!" The man warned in a cold tone.As this was Taadi City's military compound, it was unlikely that a person who was wearing his military rank on his shoulders would turn out to be an imposter. Thus, the bodyguard thought twice before raising his hands in surrender.With that, William kept away his gun and ordered for the bodyguard to be taken away. When Tehilla saw him, she was stunned and thought to herself, How on earth can this imposter have the guts to show up? Isn't he afraid that he'll be exposed?After
After they left the area, Rex went in the direction of the military compound, taking the dog out for a walk after dinner to aid it's digestion, while Hilda went the opposite direction where the supermarket was. Before parting ways, Rex couldn't help but assure her, "Don't be stressed out because of the amulet. I'll try to persuade the Damien's to give up on it. And there is also Nathan so there is nothing to be worried about."Nodding her head, she watched as he left.After they parted ways, Rex was still happily reminiscing about the bottle of wine from the cellar on the way back to the military camp. It was so good that just a sip of it was enough to satisfy him for half a lifetime! How wonderful it would be if Nathan opens a bottle of his wine from his cellar collection every day!As he continued walking forward, the setting sun cast long silhouettes of two men and a dog. Despite being so close together on the ground, their shadows could never overlap, just like the gap separating
