The moment Nathan appeared, Hilda started to cry. He was only gone for a month, but it felt like a lifetime had passed. During this month, she did not hear any news from him as communication was completely cut off at his location. Luna fell ill, and a multitude of other things also happened. Seeing him appear in front of her now made her feel like she had her pillar again. The strong front that she put up crumbled down in an instant. Lifting the hem of her dress, she ran straight into his arms. A pair of big hands caught her, then precisely and skillfully brought her into his embrace. He came dressed up tonight in his formal attire which made him look smart, elegant, and gentlemanly. His outfit today matched hers perfectly, easily making them the most dazzling pair in the crowd. As she sobbed in his arms, the exhaustion on his face was instantly masked over by a look of affection. He murmured next to her ear, "There, there. I'm back now. You're the star of the show tonight. You ca
Connie also felt sorry for Linux initially. However, now that Nathan was here, she probably regretted it too. Linux' engagement was placed aside for now. There was no rush, he was still young. There were many outstanding women in the Jordan Family. Linux was bound to find someone well suited for him. At the moment, Sahara was happily holding on to Linux and looking arrogantly and contemptuously at Hilda. Didn't you want to steal my man from me? Come and try. You easy woman! You can protect that outdated bigshot for the rest of your life. Between Linux and Nathan, it was obvious who was the better option. Linux will be mine! Hilda only felt guilt and remorse toward Linux and she did not notice Sahara sticking her nose up in the air. She was holding on to his arm, but she did not even dare to look up at him. Today, Nathan was winning favor with his youthful mother in law. When they saw Linux walk over, Nathan, who had a wine glass in his hand as he chatted with Connie, put down
This sudden turn of events meant that Linux had been living with his own biological mother without ever knowing the truth. Hilda thought back to the time when she had asked Linux if he would try to track down his real family. He had simply answered that he would never want to find out anything about his past. He had gone on to explain how his past was a taboo, he'd struggled to earn his place in the Jordan family, and even the slightest thought of trying to track down his past would cost him everything he'd worked for. Who knew that he was actually Connie's son? Nathan saw how Hilda had gone still, and gently patted her shoulder. "Go, he's your brother, after all." He encouraged mildly. Hilda remained unmoving until Connie lifted her hand and beckoned her over, saying, "Hil, come over here and meet your brother!" Slowly, she felt her feet shift beneath her, and she somehow ended up standing before Linux. She regarded him with a pained look in her eyes, as it had only been moment
In light of this groundbreaking news, everyone immediately thought about how the Jordans looked nerve wracked as they hurried away from the scene, and it wasn't long before the crowd put two and two together. If Linux decided to go back to his biological family, then he would have to give up his place in Jordan Group and, by extension, leave the Jordan's. How could someone as brilliant as Linux make such a foolish mistake? Was his biological mother, from whom he had technically been separated for twenty years, more important than the power he held as the vice president of Jordan Group? Sahara glowered at their reunion and felt her insides knotting up in disgust. She was sickened, her lips curling as she felt the bile rise in her throat. Linux is actually Adrian's son! Everything was so surreal. It was like a fairytale, but it was the prince who had turned into a toad instead! However, Sahara knew there was no point in hating how this situation had unfolded. Linux had basically
Leaning on Nathan, Hilda began to tell him about everything that had happened when he was gone. She told him about Luna falling sick, about how they had relocated Adrian's tomb, about Adrian's return.. She had found her father and her mother, and she had also found her brother. Her family was reunited, which made her feel like the happiest girl in the world. Nathan's expression was indifferent. He was not particularly happy, but he was not solemn either, he just sat there silently and listened. At this moment, Nathan suddenly patted Hilda on the shoulder and said gently, "I need to find your mom to talk about something. You can play with Rex for a while. I'II be back soon." Nathan then set down his glass and walked out of the dinner hall. Hilda sat on the couch, while Rex, who was drunk, rubbed her arms and spoke drunkenly. "Brothers, attack!" The atmosphere of tonight's dinner was extraordinary. After all, Linux had publicly announced that he was a part of the Damien family. Th
Hilda was still staying with Nathan at the Imperial, while Linux openly moved back to the Aebasa Residence. After he returned home, Nathan handled several trivial matters before bringing Hilda and Luna to the Aebasa Residence for dinner. This would be their first meal together ever since they acknowledged their relationship, so it was a rather grand occasion. At the dinner table, Luna addressed Linux sweetly. "Mr. Jordan!" Connie instantly corrected her. "Call him uncle!" Luna pouted with dissatisfaction and spoke as if she were wronged. "Papa said that even though Uncle Linux is my real uncle, I shouldn't let anyone know yet." Upon hearing this, Nathan was shocked and nearly jumped up to cover Luna's mouth. He was doomed! Sure enough, as soon as Luna finished speaking, three pairs of eyes shot coldly toward Nathan. Three pairs of faint blue eyes stared coldly in Nathan's direction. Both Connie and Linux had been immersed in the joy of their family reunion over the past two da
In the living room, the family was just starting to watch TV together. Nathan had yet to return after heading to the bathroom. Taking advantage of Nathan's absence, Adrian rushed over to Hilda and earnestly said, "My dear, you need to make haste! You have to give birth to a son as soon as possible! Only a son can keep your husband by your side!" Hilda was focused on the TV while using her leg to pet the dog at the same time. When she heard those words, her gaze flicked over to Adrian before flicking away again. "A daughter is nice too." Are all fathers like that? Why do his words sound so hateful? Unexpectedly, Adrian became exasperated at her words and sternly said, "Daughters will be married off sooner or later. No matter how you raise them, they are a waste of money! You need to get yourself a son! Even if you can't give birth to one, you need to find another way! You can use a surrogate mother. In the worst case, you can secretly find a mistress. Once she gives birth to a son,
After the kiss, she panted, she was slightly out of breath. Her small mouth opened and closed, breathing in the ambiguous air between them. A light sheen of sweat formed on her skin, and her eyes seemed to be shrouded in mist. Half closing her eyes, her eyelashes trembled slightly as if tears still clung to them. It had scared her very badly when the two started fighting each other out of nowhere. Stuck between the two of them, she watched as the two most important people in her life tried to rip each other apart. It left her at a loss of what to do. Even now, her heart was still pounding fiercely in her chest. She was unable to calm down. However, she finally felt somewhat less worried after Nathan's gentle kisses. He pressed his forehead against hers and closed his eyes as if he was reminiscing the feeling of the kisses they shared mere moments ago. Their lips were only several centimeters apart, and they could feel the heat of each other's ragged breathing. There seemed to be an
