In the morning, Nathan had just woken up for breakfast in Dragon Court Villa when he got a call from his eldest brother, James Langley.“Are you awake, Nathan? Hunter is in trouble. You’ve got to save him.”James sounded particularly anxious on the phone!There were four siblings in the Langley household. Nathan was the youngest. His father had him at a very old age.James was the oldest in the family. He was Hunter’s father and had a soft personality.He had taken over the family business years ago, but he was not suited to be a businessman. He had almost caused the company to fail when he was in charge.Nathan forcefully took over the family business when he was 18, and that was when Langley Corporation took on a new life. The company achieved greater heights under Nathan’s leadership.He was now held in very high respect at home, even more than Old Mr. Langley.That was why he was the first person James called when Hunter got into trouble.Nathan looked calm, but his eyebro
Mason had always known that Nathan was quite sharp. He smiled and admitted, “You’re exactly how everyone describes you to be, Mr. Langley. Always getting straight to the crux of things! You’re right. I don’t want money, but I do have a simple request. "Don’t worry, it won’t affect the great Langleys at all. Although, do understand that it’s not difficult for me to create a little scandal that would create some trouble for you. It all depends on your choice, Mr. Langley.”There was outrage in Nathan’s eyes, but he maintained a calm and collected demeanor. “Let’s hear your request. I’d like to find out what you mean by ‘simple’!”Mason could detect the coldness in this tone, but he was unperturbed by it. He played with his teacup while saying, “I’ve heard that you've been engaged to Miss Pileggi for quite a few years. Looking at both your ages, isn’t it about time you got married?”Nathan was momentarily taken aback but later burst out laughing. “Why would an outsider care about my
Nathan glanced coldly at them. He did not agree to it, nor did he object. All he did was reply, “I’ll think about it.” After that, he stood up and left.Sue was in a panic when she saw how he reacted. “What's there to think about? Hunter’s life is in that man’s hands. Why won’t Nathan agree to it?”James replied, “The engagement with the Pileggis has been ongoing for so many years. It’s obvious that he doesn’t want to get married. It’s only natural that he would need to think about it.”Sue got anxious. “What about Hunter? He’s in danger right now. Nathan shouldn’t let anything happen to him.”“Calm down. Give Nathan some time. If he says he’ll handle it, he won’t let anything happen to Hunter.”However, even James was not entirely confident about that.Nathan was known to have his own ideas about things. Even Old Mr. Langley was not able to do anything about it. It would be very difficult to convince him to get married.Sue felt angry about t
Lucy said, “It’s Eva Lane! She must be jealous of me getting married to you, which was why she set me up. You have to investigate this and find out if she's the one who got Hunter Langley to come to my room and caused me to…”She suddenly became upset at this point and could not control her tears from flowing. She looked crushed.Lucy thought Mason would relent to this when he saw the state she was in.He cared a lot about her!Besides, she had invited Eva over.Yet, Eva did not show up. She must be feeling guilty about something!Mason agreed without hesitating, which was exactly what Lucy had expected. “Alright. I’ll make sure to investigate this. I won’t allow you to suffer for nothing.”Lucy felt deeply comforted when she heard Mason’s words.He did care a lot about her!However, she could not take it for granted.With her eyes still red, she bit her lip and put on a pitiful look. “You’re so good to me, Mason, but… I don’t think I’m good enough for you anymore. I love you
Nathan hesitated as he looked at the rides in the theme park.He had never been to such places before, much less gone on the rides.Even Eva found it difficult to imagine what it would look like for him to be playing bumper cars when she saw the look on his face.He was the CEO of Langley Corporation, after all.This would be a worthwhile headline if people found out about it.Finn also had a look of disbelief on his face.His cool and distant boss and bumper cars did not go together.It would be unimaginable to watch such a scene!Eva quickly put a stop to this. “You don’t need to indulge them, Mr. Langley. I’ll take them to the bumper cars myself.”Nathan unexpectedly said, “It’s fine. I’ll accompany them if they want to play bumper cars.”Eva’s eyes widened with disbelief.Finn was thunderstruck and stood where he was, stunned.The children were the only ones who took everything in stride.“You’re the best, Mister.”Mia hugged Nathan’s neck happily and kissed him on th
Finn returned with the ice creams.The children grabbed one each.Max immediately gave his to Eva. “Have some, Mommy.”“Thank you, Max.”Eva smiled and took the ice cream from him to have a bite.Mia gave hers to Nathan. “For you, Mister.”Nathan replied, “You can have it. I don’t take anything sweet.”Mia did not relent. Pouting, she said, “That won’t do. You have to eat it because I gave it to you. It’s really yummy. Taste it.”She looked at him brightly with expectation.Nathan could not bear to turn her down. He crouched lower to have a bit of the ice cream.The sweet taste spread in his mouth. Despite it being too sweet for him, Nathan felt happy about it.Finn found this incredulous.His boss was destined to be a sucker for his daughter if he had one!A strange feeling came over Eva when she saw how much Nathan was indulging in her children.However, she did not forget her conversation with Nathan.Eva took the opportunity to continue questioning him, “Mr. Langley,
Despite her fear, Sue worked up her courage at the thought of her son, who might be suffering or even dead. “Nathan, we’re just worried about Hunter. Your brother and I only have one son. What would we do if something were to happen to him…”Nathan was clearly annoyed but held back his anger. He said coldly, “Hunter will be back before the end of today. Either shut up or get out.”With that, he ignored them and went up the stairs.James and Sue were surprised by his words but also felt uncertain. “Is Nathan telling the truth? Will Hunter really come back?”Jack said, “I can’t believe you don’t trust Nathan. Hunter will be back if he says so. Shut up and stop enraging Nathan. You’ll only end up regretting it.”A chill went through James and Sue’s hearts. The only thing they could do now was wait obediently.…Nathan went straight into his study when he got upstairs.Finn entered the study, and Nathan asked coldly, “Are they still making any noises downstairs?”He replied, “They
“Type AB?”Nathan’s eyes narrowed. There was an unfathomable glint in his eyes. He continued asking, “Are there any other details you remember about that time? For example, how was the woman’s emotional state?”The doctor gave this some thought and replied, “There isn’t anything that stands out. Her emotions were calm throughout.”“I can bear witness to that. That woman was quite stable emotionally, except for the time when I mistook Mr. Young for her husband. It slipped out of my mouth when I was checking the wards. "That woman told me that he was just her senior at university and was not the children’s father nor her husband.”“That’s it?”Nathan’s fingers drummed on the table nonchalantly. He asked, “Please think carefully if there's anything you've left out.”The doctor and nurse looked at each other. They continued frowning as they began searching their memory.It was sometime later when the doctor spoke again hesitantly. “I don’t know if this could be considered anything
