Back then, Nathan had lived in the military house for the past years when he was in the army. After his departure, the room was left empty, so Hilda would occasionally stay over with Luna later on. As soon as she got into Nathan's room, Hilda flared up. "Gianna Dgoldz is way out of line!" Nathan quickly soothed her temper. "Alright, it's all over now. As long as I am with you, I will never allow Gianna to look down on you." Hilda was disgruntled at the mere thought of how Gianna was looking at her mother so she badmouthed Gianna to Connie. "Mom, you should be wary of Gianna! She derided Linux as a 'trophy husband' that day!" However, Connie merely kept her silence while glancing out of the window, only to see a man in an exquisite suit and a quaint looking umbrella walking through the entrance. With the security showing her the way, she was walking toward Old master Cannon's house. Connie was looking out of the window from the second floor, so all she could see was half of his f
The Bowens were so powerful back then that no place was safe from them except for Taadi. They couldn't do anything while in Taadi, as the country itself was intolerant of their presence. "So, I smuggled both my sons, namely Jerome and Arnold, back into Taadi in hopes of surviving the ordeal, only to lose Jerome in the process." Zis teared up at the mention of that particular section, but he quickly changed the topic while looking at Nathan. "However, the Bowens weren't about to dawdle while waiting for me to find Jerome. I was without money nor connections, whereas Arnold was ill, but luckily for us, I was still able to secure my friend's assistance." Zis was full of gratitude when he mentioned his friend. "She brought me home. She treated Arnold, as well as provided us with the necessary protection. We spent five years under her protection before returning to our own country." Staring at Nathan, Zis went on to say, "The friend who offered us her protection was none other than you
After stepping into a private room in Bilinsk, all of them took a seat on the sectional couches in four groups, Hilda, Nathan and their daughter, Linux and Connie, Milo and Arlo, Jerome and Elizabeth. Gianna sat in the middle of the last group to emphasize her special identity. On the other hand, Zis and Arnold did not come with them. After wine and food were served, Luna had gotten her milk in a bottle. Jerome introduced Elizabeth to all of them. "This is.." Elizabeth interrupted him. "There's no need for an introduction. We're close friends." Raising her glass of wine at Connie, she said, "Connie, we haven't met for decades. How are you doing?" Connie replied dispassionately, "I'm alright." She did not want to speak to Elizabeth. Meanwhile, Linux and Nathan kept staring at Elizabeth, for they hadn't forgotten that the latter had tried to harm Hilda before. Recently, Linux had uncovered many undercovers who were sent to work for the Jordan Family, and he realized that Elizabe
Jerome might appear to be benevolent, but he was in fact the tyrannical leader of Smith Group. Linux did not want to speak to him any further nor have anything to do with him, for he was afraid that Connie and Hilda might get harmed by him. They had a harmonious family currently, and he did not want it to be destroyed by someone else. In the end, their discussion did not lead to any partnerships, but Hilda was still glad for having this talk. Jerome even gave her the umbrella. In return, Hilda passed him some local specialties. Before dinner time, they bade each other farewell. Hilda and Linux left together and entered the same car. Looking at the brother and sister, Jerome could feel that a strange feeling was welling up within him, but he couldn't put that feeling into words. He just felt that he would miss them. In the morning, Milo and Arlo found a suitable building to be their headquarters, so they were going to sign the contract later, and they also managed to get Gianna t
After the intimate session, Hilda tried to retrieve Nathan's pants and put them on for him before turning on the light again. Then, Nathan got up and wore his pants properly. Seeing how bashful Hilda was, he was puzzled. "Why are you still so shy when we already have a daughter?" Hilda looked away from him and put on her own clothes. Even though she was joyful, she still retorted, "I was just worried that you'd feel bashful!" Hearing her reply, Nathan wrapped his arms around her and kissed her. "I'll be leaving with Luna in two days. I will miss you." Two days later, Nathan and Luna had to go to the filming site of 'Where Are We Going, Dad?'. For the next two months, Luna had to stay with Nathan on the filming site of the show. For every episode, the dads had to stay with their kids outdoors for three days, and they would be filmed by countless cameras. Since the moms couldn't tag along, the dads had to take care of their kids on their own. When Hilda learned that Luna wanted to
When she arrived, she learned that the village had closed off the road, so she found a guest house in town to stay for the night. It was almost night by the time she arrived. After dinner, she slipped out toward the village with a pair of binoculars, trying to see what was going on. The whole village was closed off just for the filming of 'Where Are We Going, Dad?' Even with her binoculars, she couldn't see a thing other than many people milling about. After obtaining a map of the village, she went back to the guest house to study it for a while. After eating the next morning, Hilda looked around outside through her binoculars while waiting for the film crew to start. By nine, there were more and more people on the street. Hilda heard everyone discussing the kids on 'Where Are We Going, Dad?' The villagers were not hardcore fans as they didn't know much about the big wigs. Even if the fathers were standing in front of them, they could barely recognize them, so they didn't even
Now, Nathan no longer cared whether their home would be turned into a pig farm or a cattle farm. The most important thing to do was to calm the kid down as fast as possible. After all was calm, Nathan took a look at Hilda, who was peeking at them from the corner and thought to himself that it was highly likely that she would never appear again. While passing by the watermelon field on the way back, Hilda was in front of them. Nathan was struck speechless. Is she ever gonna stop? Nathan wasn't sure how he was supposed to react. Does she have to be here and make a mess out of things? Could she not have stayed at home with the cats instead of following us all the way here? Nathan gritted his teeth as he reminded himself to teach her a lesson when he got home. Someone had to rein her in or she'd just keep pushing the limits! It went without saying that Hilda was here to keep an eye on both her husband and daughter, the sooner they left, the sooner she'd head back to the hotel. Nath
At midnight, a few people showed up outside of Nathan's house. "Alright, Stanley has already led the guards away. Wait for me here. I'II be back before you know it!" Hilda instructed quietly as she went over to where Francis and the others were standing. There was a large bag slung over her shoulder. Francis watched as she dashed over to the courtyard, looking clumsy with the heavy bag in tow. Hilda had scoped out the landscape during the day and had taken note of the camera that was positioned by the front entrance. She avoided it and headed over to a hidden part of the courtyard, where she knew the dog hole would be. When she came upon this dog hole during her stake out earlier that day, Hilda had made sure that she would be able to squeeze through it without being captured by the camera. Francis watched as Hilda found the hole and crawled through it. Once she had managed that, she reached out an arm and said, "Francis, give me the bag." Cringing, he handed the bag over to he
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
