Letâs make this journey extra fun together! đAs soon as the door closed, Nathan leaned back again and muttered, âThis better be worth it.âBut Claire just smiled, as her eyes shone with mischief.She leaned closer to Nathan, resting her head lightly against his shoulder as she spoke in a soft and teasing voice.âSince we are attending the event,â she said slowly and added, âand itâs already tomorrow, donât you think we should go shopping?âNathan glanced down at her, one brow lifting slightly as he repeated her words with an amused look on his face, âShopping?â Quickly, she nodded her head and even began acting more coquettish as she gently played with the buttons on his shirt.âOf courseâ. She said and continued, âJudging from how the invitation is looking, everyone important will be there and I just canât just appear anyhow.âThen she smiled sweetly and added, âAfter all, I will be stepping out as your wife. So I need to look the part.âListening to all of this, Nathan let out a low chuckle and said as he held her tight in h
Soon, time flies and it is already next week, the day before the show.Nathan didnât go to work that day as he was currently at home.The living room was quiet except for the sound of the movie playing on the large screen. Nathan was sitting lazily on the couch, his back resting comfortably. His one arm was wrapped around Claire, who was leaning fully against his chest , while Bella sat on the other side with her legs curled up as her attention was fully on the movie.Nathan looked really relaxed but just then, his quality time was interrupted.Hearing the knocking sound that was coming from outside, no one moved.Nathan didnât even turn his head. He simply lifted his hand slightly and glanced at the maid who was arranging the shelves nearby and said with a lazy and cold voice, âGo check whoâs knockingâ. âYes, sir,â the maid replied to him with a small bow.With that, she placed the item she was holding back on the shelf and walked toward the door. And a few seconds later, she re
Saying this, she stood up from the couch and walked towards the door. She was about to open it when she suddenly turned back slowly, a sly smile curling on her lips.Derek was now standing by the table with his arms crossed as he watched her like he had been waiting for that moment.âItâs been a long time,â she said softly, her voice deliberately slow. âYou donât even pretend to miss me anymore?â She added with pouty lips.Derek chuckled and took a step closer to her as he said to her, âPretend?â he asked. âI have been craving you since the last time I saw you.â He touched her face slowly and said.Hearing this, Claire lifted her brows slightly, clearly amused.âCraving me?â she repeated, tilting her head softly and added with a teasing look. âThatâs a strong word.âLeaving her side, Derek chuckled and leaned against the table casually as he told her, âYou know I donât use weak words when it comes to you.âClaire walked back toward him, stopping just a step away and said shyly, âYou
After spending some time at the Grant mansion, the girls finally decided to leave.Vivian checked the time on her phone and sighed softly.âWe should get going,â she said. âWe need to stop by the company and see how things are running.â She said to everyone.Sighing softly, Mr Anderson said, âWell, as much as I want to sit here all day and stare at my daughtersâ faces, the office wonât run itself.ââExactly old manâ. Mr Grant chuckled and said as he stood up too.âDonât worry dad, we will come some other timesâ. Biola winked at him and said, making him grin happily. With that, they all stood up and left the mansion with a satisfied smile on their faces. Outside the house, Alexa smiled and said. âAre you coming with us?â She asked Vivian. But Vivian shook her head and said to her, â I will go and check the company today, which means Iâm not going with you girlsâ. âItâs fine sis. Alexa and I will head to the hotel to check on the designs and the setup for the fashion show.â Viola V
Ever since that day she had an argument with her parents because of Nathan, she hasnât seen them again for up to two years. So she really missed them. Although she has been speaking to them on call, it canât compare with seeing them physically. âI missed you mum,â Viola sobbed, her voice breaking. âI missed you so, so muchâ. Saying this, she raised her head up and asked with a choked voice, âWhy didnât you tell us you and dad were coming early ? We could have come to pick you both upâ. She said, Mrs Andersonâs eyes welled up immediately as she hugged her daughter back just as tightly and began rubbing her back in a soothing way.âOh, my baby,â she murmured, kissing Violaâs hair again and again as she added. âI missed you too and not a single day has passed without me thinking of you. Your dad and I wanted to surprise you all, thatâs why we didnât call you girls.âViola nodded her head and tightened her hold on her motherâs clothes as she said, âI thought something happenedâ. âUncl
Back at the Grant mansion, the atmosphere in the lounge was strangely quiet.Currently, Mr Anderson sat comfortably on one side of the couch with his legs crossed as he sipped his tea with a calm look on his face. Beside him was his wife who was flipping through a fashion magazine, clearly interested in it. Across from them sat Mr and Mrs Grant who were also busy doing their own stuff. At first glance, everything looked normal, but Mr Grant wasnât relaxed at all as he was feeling uncomfortable.His eyes kept drifting back and forth, looking so suspicious.Each time he did that, he would quickly look away and then sneak another glance with a face filled with guilt and restlessness.Mr Anderson, who pretended not to notice, couldn't help it anymore.So he slowly lowered the magazine and frowned slightly as he asked with a curious look, âHey old man, why are you staring at me like that?â He questioned and added jokingly. âDid I suddenly grow two heads?âImmediately Mr Grant stiffened a
