Eugene and his family were curious as well.A lot of strange things were happening today. People kept appearing bearing gifts.Judging by the looks of the box, everyone began wondering if this could be another priceless item.Pamela wanted it for herself and wished fervently she could take it away with her.Queenie was feeling extremely jealous.That slut, Eva, had hogged the spotlight for the entire day!She did not deserve this!Eva had never done anything better than Queenie since they were young. Why was there such a huge change after a few years?!Queenie said while seething with anger, “Hurry up and open it, Eva. There might be an amazing gift inside there…”The guests looked over curiously as well.Eva did not move. She glanced at Mason instead.Mason nodded, indicating that she could open the box.Eva reached out to open the gift.It was not long before the box was opened and everyone finally saw what the gift was.Eva was the first one to see it.She was stunned
In the emergency room, Nathan was relieved to see Eva finally being pushed inside by the doctor.He stood in the corridor and took off his coat. It was only after undoing two buttons on his shirt that his tense body managed to relax.Finn quickly took his coat and asked, “Mr. Langley, should we wait for Miss Lane to come out or do you want to leave?”Before Nathan could reply, he heard panicked footsteps coming from outside the corridor.Mason rushed in with the children in his arms.“How is my mommy, Mr. Handsome?”Max spotted Nathan immediately and quickly asked.Mason put the children down. His eyes were thick with animosity when he looked at Nathan. “Please leave immediately, Mr. Langley. You and Eva don’t know each other well, and she doesn’t need your help. If it’s possible, please refrain from being anywhere near her if such a thing happens again.”Nathan’s eyes narrowed dangerously from being challenged again and again. The atmosphere around him turned tense. “Whatever
Sam took a deep breath and tried his best not to show his temper. He went closer to Queenie to cajole her gently, “Calm down, Queenie. Let’s talk about this. This is all my fault, and I’m sorry. I’ll make sure that you’re my priority from now on, alright? Don’t make this difficult.”Queenie found him even more annoying when she saw what a good-for-nothing he was.This made her even more convinced that only men like Nathan Langley and Mason Young were good enough for her.She said to Sam with a stoic expression, “I’m not making anything difficult. I’ve made my decision about this, Sam. We should stop seeing each other from now on.”Queenie left without waiting for Sam to react.She quickly arrived at Eva’s ward and pushed the door to enter.Eva thought Sam had returned and did not expect to see Queenie’s loathsome face when she looked up.She frowned, looking unhappy as she asked coldly, “What are you doing here?”Mason and the children looked over as well.The children did not
Eva was disgusted and wanted to pull her hand away but did not manage to.Pamela was unperturbed. She continued grabbing Eva’s hand and said earnestly, “You have no idea how anxious your father and I were when you disappeared, Eva. We sent people out to search for you for a long time, but there was no news at all. We thought you were… We never expected to see you again after five years. It’s really wonderful.”“Yes, Eva. I’m so happy to see you return to us.”Eugene said this with an awkward look on his face.Eva grunted silently at this. She pulled her hand back forcefully. “Really? I guess I should really be grateful that you miss me so much.”Eugene got embarrassed when he heard Eva’s reply.As for Pamela, she was taken aback but quickly pulled herself together. “We’re a family, Eva. You shouldn’t be a stranger to us. I know that you’ve suffered a lot being alone out there all these years. "Now that you have two children in tow, you shouldn’t be without a home. That's why I’
Lucy was elated when he hugged her in his arms.She knew that he would give in if she cried.It looked like he did care about her.Lucy was no longer upset, and she felt better. She was even listening to everything Mason said.“I believe you, Mason. I’m so sorry about what happened.”Lucy's head was buried in Mason’s arms.There was a complicated look in Mason’s eyes as he said softly, “It’s fine. I’ll forgive you this time. If you’re still worried, we’ll get engaged when we go back.”“Are you serious?”Lucy was elated.She had hinted so hard before about getting married, but Mason had always pretended not to understand, or he would use work as an excuse to brush it off.It had never occurred to Lucy that he would be the one to bring it up.Mason looked at her and said, “Of course, I’m being serious.”Lucy was overjoyed. She hugged Mason tight around the waist and said, “I knew you love me the most, Mason.”Mason did not reply. The look in his eyes was cold.They hugged f
Tyler waved him off and smiled cheekily. “There aren’t any other orders. You know very well that Aunt Wanda always gives one instruction at a time.”Mason was quiet.It was true.She had always been a mysterious person. No one knew what she was thinking.When Tyler saw Mason frowning, he smiled and said, “Stop thinking about it, Mason. Who can guess what Aunt Wanda is thinking? If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving. Let me know if you need anything in the future.”Mason snapped out of it and looked at Tyler.Even though Tyler now had a devilish air about him, he had already grown up.Mason could not help sighing. “Time passes really fast. You’ve grown up in the blink of an eye. Although… why are you with those people? Who allowed you to join them?”He was referring to the men behind Tyler. He did not approve of them.Tyler smiled and said, “I’ve always followed Aunt Wanda’s arrangements. She told me to do this. After all, I’m not as capable as you, Mason. We can't be compa
Eva felt a little embarrassed.She had rejected him yesterday, after all. Yet now she was meeting him here to talk about this.Now that they were facing each other, it was difficult to start the topic.Finn noticed her uneasiness and took the initiative to give her the contract. “Miss Lane, this is the contract that was given to you yesterday. Take a look at it. If there are no problems, you can proceed to sign it.”Eva pushed the contract back to them without reading it. “I can’t sign this. The estate is too valuable. I’ve appraised my floral shop, and my losses are at most 500,000 to 600,000. If it’s possible, you can compensate me in cash instead.”Nathan did not expect her to reject his offer. She had even conducted an appraisal herself. He raised an eyebrow slightly and seemed to smile. “Are you sure that’s all you lost?”“Yes," Eva replied honestly.Nathan was about to say something when the children came running back from the kiddie zone.They got excited when they saw N
A smile broke out on Max’s cool little face as he said, “I think Mommy is the prettiest in this world too. When I grow up, I’m going to marry her!”Finn, who was driving, burst out laughing when he heard that. “You have a great ambition!”Max looked proud. “Of course! When I grow up, I’m going to earn lots of money and take care of Mommy. That way, she won’t need to work so hard trying to feed me and Mia!”Finn stopped laughing.He was a really good boy.Nathan gave Max a contemplative look as well.Max might be young, but he was very mature.For some reason, Nathan suddenly felt like doting on him. He reached out to rub Max’s head gently as he said, “In that case, you should do your best and work hard.”“Yup. I’ll work very hard.”Eva was surprised to hear that.The next thing she knew, she was about to cry.Her little boy had always been an understanding and considerate person, but she had never thought that he would be so mature.Eva was touched, and she felt like this m
