Eva and Nathan did not expect this.“Why wouldn’t you want to go, Mia?”Nathan crouched to the ground and asked softly.Mia pouted without saying anything.It was rare for Nathan to see Mia acting stubbornly. He asked in concern, “Are you feeling sick? Is that why you don’t want to come with me?”Mia shook her head and looked at Eva. “I want Mommy to come.”Nathan, who was taken aback, looked at Eva.Mia looked determined. “I won’t go if Mommy doesn’t go.”Eva looked at Mia’s stubborn little face curiously and suddenly realized what the issue was.This girl had always been afraid of strangers, especially elderly people who she did not know. It frightened her.Her condition was much more serious a year ago. She would immediately cry out loud the moment she saw a stranger.However, she managed to do better this year.When Mia met Eva’s grandfather, she was not as afraid as before.Why was she suddenly feeling scared again?Just as Eva was wondering about this, Max’s little

While Eva wondered about it, Old Mr. Langley looked amazed. “What an amazing fate.”Eva felt the need to explain herself when she heard this. “Old Mr. Langley, I think you must be mistaken. Even though I gave birth to your great-grandchildren, I’m not your granddaughter-in-law. I’m just here to accompany my children. I’m not related to the Langleys in any way besides this.”The smile on Old Mr. Langley’s face faltered, and his expression froze.Nathan was taken aback as well. He could not help glaring at Eva.This woman… was always drawing a line between them!Old Mr. Langley glanced quickly at his grandson with slight embarrassment.He laughed dryly. “I see. Haha. Looks like Nathan needs to work harder at this.”Eva had no idea how to react.What did he mean by ‘work harder’?Did he think that something might happen between her and Nathan Langley?“Some things can’t be achieved by just working harder. After all, some people are no different than criminals to me.”She glared

Before Mason could give him an answer, another call came in.Mason had to pick up that call.This time, the call was from the chairman of another listed company. He said accusingly, “Mr. Young, Forrest Group’s share prices suddenly crashed with a drop of more than 50%. What exactly is happening?”Mason was stunned to hear that.His face darkened immediately. “Sean, turn on the trading app and check the share prices of those companies.”Sean immediately got to work and clicked on their company’s trading app.He was astounded to see the dashboard shown on the screen. Cold sweat dripped from his forehead.13 companies under Scope Investments that used to have healthy share prices had now crashed horribly.The amount was tremendous. Even the company with the least loss had its share price drop 13%. The largest crash was at 60 to 70%. This was a major loss on all levels.Mason realized this. There was a frightening expression on his face as he began wondering what was going on!Hi

Eva immediately stood up at this thought. She smiled at Mason and said, “I feel better now that I know Lucy will be coming over to take care of you. Mia and Max are still at home, and I’m worried about them. I’ll be leaving first. Remember to rest well.” Mason paused, and his lips moved. He wanted to ask her to stay but did not say anything in the end. He nodded bitterly. “Alright. Drive safe on your way back.” Nodding, Eva then left hurriedly after grabbing her keys and purse at the side. It was already 11 at night when she returned to the estate. All the lights were still on inside the house. Eva wondered if it was because the children had not yet gone to sleep. Her gaze swept at the Rolls-Royce still parked at the side as she frowned slightly. Could Nathan have played too long with the children? She strode inside quickly and entered the house. Only Nathan was left in the living room. The man sat alone on the sofa elegantly. Ther

Eva was almost laughing in anger. “Are you kidding? Why should I wash your clothes for you? I’m not your wife!” She paused after saying that. Eva had just realized what she just said and felt her ears burn. “I’ll get Yelena to wash them for you.” Before Nathan could reply, she went downstairs with the children. Nathan stood in the room as he kept replaying what she said in his mind. Not his wife? Wife... Hah! A smile appeared on his lips as a dark look flashed in his eyes. … After Eva had breakfast with the children downstairs, she brought them to school. Before she left, she instructed Yelena, “I’ll have to trouble you to help Grandpa with breakfast.” “Sure, Miss Lane.” Yelena replied readily. She looked up the stairs and asked, “Urm... Miss Lane. Are you going to leave Mr. Langley upstairs like that?” Eva’s expression froze. She looked a little uncomfortable. “Let him do whatever he wants.” Yelena did not dare ask an
