Eva turned to look away as she passed him the pajamas. However, she accidentally touched the tip of the man’s fingers. His fingers were slightly cold, but Eva shuddered at the touch as it felt like an electric current had flowed through her body. She quickly pulled her hand back and ran off without looking back. Nathan, on the other hand, did not feel anything at all from inside the bathroom. After he was done showering, he walked out in his pajamas. They surprisingly fitted him well. Even though the style was a little outdated, Nathan managed to make them look fashionable, as though they were donned by a professional model. When Eva saw him after taking her shower, she could not help grumbling about how unfair the world was. Why did this man possess so many superior qualities? While she was quietly complaining about him, Nathan looked over at her. Eva was wearing a set of conservative pajamas. Her hair fell on her shoulders, and her face
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
The teachers went up to greet her when they saw the principal. “Miss Cruise!” Emma nodded in reply. She pointed at the little boy next to her and said, “Miss Linderman, Miss Cheney, this is our new student, Zack Sachman. He'll be joining your classes from today onward. Please take good care of him.” Miss Linderman and Miss Cheney looked at the little boy. He was bigger than the other children. Despite being five or six, he looked more like a seven or eight-year-old child. They were a little taken aback to see him physically larger than the other children. They said, “Sure, Miss Cruise. We'll look after him.” Before Emma could say anything else, the middle-aged husband and wife spoke up, “Take good care of our Zack, you two. Don't let him get bullied by the other children.” Miss Linderman and Miss Cheney nodded with a smile. “This won't happen. His classmates are good kids.” Despite their reply, both were thinking that it would be lucky if this couple's physi
The kindergarten was in chaos because of Zack's appearance. Three children had been continuously bullied, and the other children now had a look of fear on their faces after they saw what happened. All of them hid behind their teachers and pointed at Zack. “He's a bad person. Don't play with him.” Saul and Jenna were furious to hear that. They got increasingly unhappy when they saw how the teachers and Emma reacted to this. Saul and Jenna immediately went over to carry Zack in their arms. They glared at Emma as they demanded something to be done. “What's wrong with you? Didn't you understand me when I told you to expel that child?"Do you still want to be the principal of this kindergarten? I can make you lose your job with just one word.” Emma was not intimidated by their threat. She stood up and said, “Mr. Sachman, you've seen for yourself how your son bullied the other children. Max didn't do anything wrong. Why should he be expelled?” Saul glared at her. His plump
Eva arrived only to see the tense situation between both parties. When the children saw their mommy, they immediately ran toward her. “Mommy...” Mia’s nose was red from crying. It took a lot of effort for her to stop crying, but her tears were falling again. Eva’s heart was breaking. She quickly hugged Mia in her arms to comfort her. “Good girl. Don’t cry, alright? Tell me what happened.” Mia kept sobbing and could not say a word. Max replied on behalf of his sister, “It’s that bad boy’s fault. He messed up my jigsaw puzzle the moment he came here and destroyed Mia’s Snow Queen.” Eva frowned when she heard this and turned to look at Zack. Emma and Miss Linderman were relieved to see Eva arrive. They approached her with a bitter smile. “We’re sorry, Miss Lane. We didn’t expect things to turn out this way.” “What exactly happened?” Eva frowned tighter when she saw the handprint on Emma’s face. Miss Linderman immediately explained what happened to
Finn went off quickly to carry out the order when he saw how upset Nathan looked. Soon, they left Langley Corporation and headed to the kindergarten. Nathan made a call along the way. The person on the other line picked up very quickly. He teased, “Why would you suddenly have time to call me, old friend? Have you finally remembered that I still exist?” Nathan smiled. “I can’t forget even if I wanted to.” “Liar.” Ian Conlay did not believe him at all. “You only call when you want something. Go ahead. Tell me what’s going on.” Nathan got straight to the point. “Are you free later? If you are, come over to Elite Kindergarten in the Southern District. I need your help with something.” Ian replied sarcastically, “I can’t believe there would come a day when you would ask for my help. I’m around the area. I can be there in five or six minutes.” “Sounds good. See you later, then. Thanks for the help” “There’s no need to thank me! If you didn’t reach ou
Max and Mia got excited when they saw Nathan. “Daddy!” The children called out to him in unison. Max ran toward him immediately. Nathan bent over to pick him up, and they quickly walked toward the crowd. Looking at Eva first, he asked, “Are you alright?” Eva nodded. “I’m fine.” However, Nathan’s glance had swept across her arm. There were a few scratches on her fair skin, and some of those scratches had blood on them. The look in his eyes darkened as he turned to Mia, who was in Eva’s arms. There were tears on the little girl’s eyelashes. Her eyes were still red, and so was her nose. It was obvious that she had been crying. Nathan was infuriated further. Who had made his precious little princess cry? Ian could not help feeling amazed by what he was witnessing. It was the first time he had seen Nathan so angry. Nathan had always managed to keep his cool no matter what happened. It was quite a scary sight to see Nathan fur
The kindergarten finally had its peace and quiet again. After he had settled the matter, Nathan turned to Ian. “Thanks for today.” Ian smiled. “There's nothing to thank me for.” Nathan smiled. “Things got a little messy today. I’ll buy you a meal next time. I need to take my children home first.” Ian was understanding of this and left first. Emma went up to Nathan to apologize as well. “I’m sorry to have given you so much trouble, Mr. Langley.” Even though this was not really the kindergarten’s fault, Emma was still worried that Nathan would vent his anger on them. However, Nathan did not blame her for this. “Don’t worry about it, Miss Cruise. Thank you for protecting Max and Mia.” Miss Cruise shook her head with a bitter smile. She would not dare allow anything to happen to those children at this kindergarten. Otherwise, she would be the one who was done for... Nathan did not say anything else. All he said was, “Just reac
