MasukA few years ago, when the twins were just two years old. Arthur came to Nora’s estate to fulfil a request from one of his close friends. As it happened, his friend’s parents were spending their holidays on the estate, so Arthur was asked to come and meet them. At the same time, he also wanted to inspect a project that was underway there. Ever since deciding to move and settle on the estate, the entire management had been entrusted to Nora. With her many ideas, Nora had developed the area far beyond that of a mere farm. Parts of the orange and apple orchards had been transformed into an educational tourist destination. Visitors can tour the orchards, pick fruit straight from the trees, and learn about the cultivation and care of the plants. Not only that, but Nora has also set up several processing plants that produce a variety of juices, jams, dried fruit and other processed products. Thanks to her touch, the plantation has flourished and become both a popular tourist destinatio
Adam! Nora swallowed hard. She then looked down, hiding the surprise on her face. They hadn’t seen each other for five years. Adam had really changed. His face looked more mature, having shed the boyish look she used to like. His build was more robust and muscular, and his presence was even stronger. Reyna seemed to sense that something was wrong with her mother. “Thank you for helping my brother, Uncle. I’m sorry he crashed into you, Uncle.” Reyna smiled. Adam sensed something strange about the boy and girl. For some reason, he felt a sense of familiarity. Nora stood with her body slightly stiff. Her fingers gripped the bag on her shoulder tightly so that her nervousness wouldn’t show. “I’m sorry for the trouble, sir. My children are a bit careless.” Her voice sounded calm, but she didn’t dare look Adam in the face for too long. She was afraid that with just one glance, he would recognise her. Adam frowned slightly. The woman’s voice sounded familiar to him. “Have w
Vivian smiled even though the person on the phone couldn’t see her. “Mr. Fisher, don’t worry. Everything’s taken care of. Adam will be leaving soon, and he has nothing to do with that woman anymore.”Mason Fisher, Rose’s father, replied coldly, “All right, Vivian. I’ll trust you this time.”“Thank you, Mr. Fisher. My son, Adam, and I won’t let you or Rose down.”“I’ll hold you to your word, Vivian. Remember, if Adam ever hurts Rose, I’ll make you and your family pay back the help I’ve given you tenfold,” Mason Fisher warned.“If only my daughter weren’t so infatuated with your son, I certainly wouldn’t be helping you and your son! Just you wait if you two let Rose down!” Mason Fisher continued.“I understand,” said Vivian.The phone call then ended. Mason Fisher had hung up.Vivian let out a long sigh. Her back was slightly covered in cold sweat. After all, she was risking her son’s future this time.“Adam, you must not let me down,” she muttered as she placed her smartphone on the ta
Adam turned his head and furrowed his brow. He wondered why Rose wanted to talk to him.To others, Rose was just affectionately holding Adam's hand. Some of them knew about their relationship. So, they immediately dismissed the idea that something was wrong between them.Adam took Rose to a private room there. Some of Rose's friends just watched and didn't say anything.“What's wrong, Rose?” Adam let go of Rose's hand. His voice sounded quite cold for a fiancé. “What do you want to talk about?”Rose's usually friendly face suddenly became expressionless. Instead of answering, she asked, “I heard you're looking for that fat woman? Is your relationship that serious, not just a bet?”Adam narrowed his eyes. “Don't make assumptions, Rose. Did you hit your head or something that made you think too far?”“Think too far?” Rose folded her arms across her chest.“Now explain to me why you're looking for her all over town? Do you think I'm just a game?” Rose clicked her tongue.Adam was silent.
"Welcome, MissNora. Would you like to go home right away or stop somewhere?" asked Charles,who immediately became Nora's driver. Charles opened the trunk and put Nora's suitcase inside.Nora sat in the passenger seatand looked around. Compared to her hometown, this city was much warmer. No wonder the season was not an obstacle to farming here.“For now, I’llstay in this city first, Uncle Charles. I’m waiting for a package from my friend.After that, I’ll go back to the plantation,” said Nora. The package Nora was waiting for was her diploma, which Tamara would send.Charles nodded.“No problem, Miss. Besides, the distance between the provincial capital and our plantation isn’t that far. It’s only about an eight-hour drive.Not far at all.”Nora’s eyes twitchedat that. ‘An eight-hour drive isn’t far?’Charles took Nora toa restaurant for lunch, then to a luxurious apartment in the city.He carried Nora’s suitcase and belongings into the apartment and immediately placed them in the maste
“Where else could this bitch be?” Adam tried again, and the result was the same—only the operator answered.He tried another call, which connected after two rings.“Hello, Boss…” said the voice on the other end.“Go to Nora’s flat and hold that woman. I’ll be there soon!” Without waiting for a response from the other party, Adam hung up the phone."Nora... so you've started threatening me?" Adam's eyes flashed as if Nora were standing right in front of him.Adam immediately returned to the garage and drove his car. Earlier, he had told his men to go to Nora's rented room. Halfway there, at a red light, Adam's mobile phone rang. "Hello, how is it? Have you found the woman?" Adam asked, getting straight to the point after seeing the caller's identity.There was a sound of someone swallowing saliva on the other end of the line. Adam suddenly had a bad feeling."Sorry, boss. The rented house is empty. There's no one there!" replied Adam's subordinate."What?! Adam gripped the steering wh
