While Eva was chatting with her grandfather, Max and Mia were enjoying their food in the dining room.They had been out all afternoon and had missed their mealtime, which was why they were feeling ravenous.Eugene kept reminding them, “Eat slower. Be careful. You wouldn't want to choke."The little ones were getting to know their grandfather better, and their attitudes toward him were friendlier than before.“Thank you, Grandpa.”Mia thanked him sweetly.This cheered up Eugene for some reason.Pamela gritted her teeth quietly when she saw this. She grabbed Eugene and gave him a stern warning in a whisper, “You really think they’re your grandchildren just because they’re calling you ‘Grandpa’? "Don’t forget how Wanda Emerson humiliated you. There’s also your wonderful daughter who brought two rich men to our house to insult us, yet you’re here happily taking care of these two little bastards!”Eugene’s expression turned cold when he heard her words.Pamela took the opportunit
They finally arrived at Cloudy Hills Estate about half an hour later.Mason helped them move the luggage.Eva was in charge of helping Old Mr. Lane into the house.The children held each other’s hands as they followed behind.Old Mr. Lane looked around the villa after they got inside. He heaped praises on it. “This is a pretty nice place.”Eva smiled and said, “We still need more furniture, but there's water and electricity. It’s suitable for us to stay here. The most important thing is the fresh air. I think you’ll like it very much.”Old Mr. Lane was feeling happy.His precious granddaughter wanted to live with him and take good care of him the moment she returned. He was overjoyed about this.Mason put down the luggage and said gently, “I’ve instructed Sean to deliver your luggage and the children’s. He should be here a little later.”“Thank you, Mason.”Eva smiled and nodded as she invited Mason for a seat.A dark look flashed in Mason’s eyes as he asked, “This is a nice
When Eva woke up the next day, Mason was gone.She put in extra effort this morning to make breakfast for the children and Old Mr. Lane. After that, she began to contemplate her future.Eva planned to either find a job or go back to being a florist.There was a big piece of land at the hillside right outside the courtyard of her villa that could be worked on. She could plant some flowers and go into the wholesale business.Eva’s mind ran through all sorts of plans. After making her decision, she turned to look at her children chasing after each other and began thinking about their schooling.She would need to buy a car to send them to school in the morning and pick them up in the evening.At this thought, Eva called the number Nathan had given her the night before.Someone picked up her call very quickly.Eva explained what she was looking for, and the manager told her with ease, “Of course, I can help you. You can come over right now to look at the cars. I promise you that you
This boutique belonged to a famous French brand named ‘Only’. The designs here were the works of well-known designers, including wedding gowns. They were all one-of-a-kind.Mason had made an appointment prior. When they arrived, the ‘bride’ and ‘groom’ were led away by different boutique staff.Eva and the children followed Lucy.When Lucy saw all the wedding gowns that filled the boutique, she felt happy and proud. “Mason and I are finally getting married after being together for so many years.”“Yes, congratulations.”Eva agreed with a smile, but she was actually distracted.It was the dream of every woman to put on a wedding gown.However, Eva would never have a chance to put one on.It made her feel a little sad.Lucy’s expression fell when she saw the look on Eva’s face. She asked coldly, “What’s wrong, Eva? You don’t seem very happy. Your congratulations don’t sound all that sincere to me.”Eva snapped out of it and replied, “It’s not like that. You’re imagining things.
Eva soon let go of this feeling.She had to force herself to be strong. It was time to think about her future.Eva had her grandfather and children by her side, and they were enough for her.However, she had to feed her family, which meant she might not be able to constantly be by their side. She gave this some thought and turned her car around as she headed to a domestic agency. Eva planned to hire a nanny to take professional care of her grandfather and children.The domestic agency she found was highly efficient and very well-known in North City.Eva soon hired a middle-aged lady of about 40 named Yelena Zabinski.She referred to the lady as Yelena.Yelena was not local, so her fee was not too expensive. On top of that, Eva provided her with accommodation.After they were done negotiating, Yelena returned to her home to pack up. After that, she followed Eva back up the hill.When they arrived, Old Mr. Lane was enjoying the sun in the courtyard.Eva approached him with Yele
After hanging up, Eva waited quietly in front of the kindergarten for Nathan.Not long after, it was activity time at the kindergarten.A group of children rushed out of their classrooms and began having fun playing with the playground facilities outdoors.Mia and Max were attracted to the sight of the children having fun.An envious look appeared on Mia’s face. “Mommy, I’d like to play too.”Max said nothing, but his eyes betrayed his eagerness to join in the fun.Eva felt a little upset when she saw this. It made her feel useless.She and her children did not notice that the kindergarten’s principal happened to walk out and see them.An annoyed look appeared on her face. She called the security guard over and said, “Make sure those three get as far from here as possible. I don’t want them to be in contact with the children here.”The security guard was taken aback. He looked uncomfortable as he did not think it was the right thing to do.However, the principal looked at him
The principal shrunk back from being shouted at. She glanced at Finn and began sizing him up.After that, she continued being sarcastic. “You’re really something, aren’t you? You’ve got two men here to help you.”The expression on Eva’s face was cold.Finn said sharply, “Watch what you say or suffer the consequences!”The principal did not look scared. “That’s enough. No need to continue pretending here. I’ve said before that our kindergarten will not accept your children.”A dark look flashed in Nathan’s eyes. “A mere principal showing off to us? Finn!”Finn immediately got the message. He reported, “Mr. Langley, Elite Kindergarten is a branded education franchise found all over the nation. Their chairman is Charles Lovett of Lovett Group. If I remember correctly, the district manager here is called Kevin Jones!”The principal was a little shocked to hear Finn mention those names casually, but she quickly sneered. “What’s wrong? Thinking about lodging a complaint against me? Ju
The security guard at the side was quick to take action. He stopped her and said, “You've been fired, Ms. Clumps. You shouldn’t be causing any more trouble. Otherwise, I’m calling the police.”Many of the kindergarten teachers had heard the commotion.None of them were upset when they saw what happened to Laura. Someone even took the lead to applause.“Are we finally getting rid of that horrible woman? That’s great news!”“Ms. Cruise, I’d like to report Laura Clumps for accepting bribes from parents. She even deducted our pay and embezzled public funds. You mustn’t let this slide!”“Haha, she always abused her power as the principal and was so mean to us. She’s finally getting her just desserts. The world is fair.”Eva did not expect Laura to have committed so many wrongs. She was astounded to hear those accusations.Even Emma was frowning.She had always known Laura to be a problematic person, but it had never occurred to her that Laura had done so many terrible things.Emma’
