View More"Wait!"Mr. Wilson exclaimed, surprising Nathan, Mike, and Mr. Carter. All three of them stared at the grandfather and waited for what Nathan's grandfather would say next. Mr. Wilson gave Nathan a sharp look, but Nathan was not affected at all. His face remained calm. He was ready for anything."Married, you say? Is it that easy for you to talk about marriage? Do you think marriage is a game?" said Mr. Wilson as he looked at Nathan, but Nathan responded with a smile."Who said marriage was a game, Grandpa? Wasn't it these grandfathers who made marriage a game in the first place by making fake marriage contracts?"Nathan's words were spoken casually and adorned with a smile, but they were sarcastic and sharp. Mr. Wilson's face darkened, but he couldn't say anything because what his grandson said was true. Fortunately, Nathan was so devoted that he was willing to take it for granted, even though the contract cost him dearly and tormented him.As for Mr. Carter, the man looked down, unab
"Shut up! Can you be serious!" snapped Mr. Wilson, his face turning serious. As Nathan and Mike's laughter stopped, they stared at each other. Suddenly, Mr. Wilson's face warmed; he remembered all the old times in that big house.The house was always crowded; he and his wife ordered their children, children-in-law, and grandchildren to gather every weekend. They cooked and ate together, and the children played together.Nathan and Mike were always making a scene. Sometimes, they fought but then laughed out loud. Even at the dinner table, they would make a lot of noise, and only their grandfather's yelling would keep them quiet.Now that they had grown up and each had their own life, they lived far away in other cities. The big house became quiet, just him and the maids. Occasionally, his granddaughters, children, and in-laws would come by, but not as intensively as before.Nathan and Mike knew what their grandfather was thinking. They both stood up and approached him, each patting him
"Hey, old fart. What's wrong with your face? This late in life, still can't make peace with life?" teased Mr. Will with a smile as he took a sip of the Conti wine the butler had just poured.Mr. Carter sighed; the man also took a sip of whisky from his glass and then looked at his friend. "You can easily say that your children and grandchildren are successful, fulfilling all your expectations. But that doesn't apply to me."There was bitterness in Mr. Carter's words. Because the behavior of his children and grandchildren was still far from his expectations, in his elderly age, he still did not recognize the word retirement."Well, Nathan is the only one I can rely on. Mike is a bit unruly; he only wants to do what he likes.""But Mike is successful with his law firm, right?""Yes, he is. It's his chosen field, and I'm just challenging him to prove the results of his chosen field. And as for the law firm, it was Nathan's hand in it, too." Mr. Wilson smiled; there was a sense of pride i
Nina was stunned to see the change in her husband's expression; she felt confused; what was wrong?“My king, what's wrong?” asked Nina gently, “Are there any mistakes in my questions?”Nina raised her face; she looked at her husband's face intently, while Nathan, his gaze staring at the room's ceiling, was dreamy; there was a sadness in the eyes that always encouraged Nina.Nathan let out a long breath; he turned his gaze to his wife's face, who was confused by his attitude. Nathan tried to smile, then touched Nina's face with both hands.“No, my queen, there's nothing wrong with your question,” Nathan replied with a smile, but suddenly he looked at Nina earnestly.“Darling, if God called me first, would you...”Before Nathan could continue, Nina's finger blocked his lips, and her brown eyes glazed over. “Don't say that, Nathany. I can't even imagine it; you're my soul; if you weren't there, how could I live.”The clouds over the beautiful eyes dissolved, flowing heavily down Nina's b
“Shit! We're getting ripped off!” shouted one of Sonya's men, the one Sonya had hired to spy on Nathan. The man noticed a photo of a man he was looking for, and the caption read, “Nathan Wilson, the handsome boss, was caught on camera vacationing in Hawaii with a beautiful girl.”Sonya was immediately informed, and suddenly, the woman's face darkened, meaning that Nathan had been in Hawaii for five days, worth searching for in other places not found. Sonya immediately focused on the photos; unfortunately, the face of the girl who looked intimate with Nathan was unclear; she was wearing a mask, sunglasses, and a broad hat. It looks like the photo was taken secretly while they were at the airport.Exasperated, Sonya called Victoria. They had been fooled. Victoria had nothing to say; she was just stunned at the pictures of Nathan and that girl with Nathan... from her posture, it looked like she had seen her, but who?Neither Sonya nor Victoria recognized Nina, apart from the fact that th
“How about if you guys get married.” Nathan said seriously.“What does that mean, Tan?” asked Mike, confused.“Well, you marry Laura, Mike. That way, Laura will have someone to protect her.”Nina immediately sat beside Nathan, paying close attention to her husband's conversation because it was related to her best friend.“Tsk. What are you talking about, Tan? Laura and I are just getting to know each other, and it's not easy for Laura to open her heart again. It needs a process.”“Love doesn't take long to grow, Mike. Although some say love can grow over time, love takes time, but love can also come quickly without taking time. The important thing is that you are already attracted to each other. It's just how you cultivate it to make it more fertile. Take me and my wife, for example.”“That's a different case, Tan. You and Nina have been watching each other for almost six months, even in a way that has no sweetness. That's where your love grows. Besides, Nina isn't in a heartbreak sit
In a hotel room, a handsome man sat looking at some photos on his smartphone screen, and his confidants had just sent the photos. He looked carefully at the pictures, and his gaze fell on an image of a woman with a man. "Hello, boss. How is it? Is that the woman you're looking for?" a call came in from the person who had sent the photos. "Are they husband and wife?" "I think so, and they look like a young couple on their honeymoon." "Try to find an opportunity to take a clearer photo of the woman, alone and full body. Close-up of her face. The photos you sent are not very clear." "Yes, boss!" After hanging up the call, the young man paused. He opened another photo of a man and a beautiful woman who appeared to be smiling happily. "Hmm, there is a slight resemblance." The man muttered. Then he dialed a number. "Hello young lord," came the heavy voice of a man on the other end. "Fred, how's Daddy doing?" "Still the same as always, no significant improvement." "Fred, please tel
“Laura, what is this?”Mike was stunned; part of Laura's face was bruised. Mike also looked at Laura's neck; there were strangulation marks from the man's hands.“That bastard hit you, Ra?”Laura nodded, tears welling up in her eyes. “I fought back by stabbing a pair of scissors into the back of his neck; he got angry and then hit and strangled me,” Laura said again, crying; she again felt pain and fear.“It's OK, Ra. We'll do a physical as evidence to aggravate that bastard's punishment. You don't have to worry. I'll be there to assist you, and that bastard should be punished severely.”Mike gently wiped away the tears on Laura's face, and Laura winced when Mike's hand touched the bruises on her face. “Oh, sorry, Ra.” Mike let out a long sigh. He asked Laura to change her clothes; they were going to the police station to report Benny's crime.Not long after they arrived at the police station, Christy had already arrived with Frank. They immediately went in. Both Mike and Frank were f
Laura's hands were flailing around, looking for something she could smash into the head of the bastard who was about to rape her.Suddenly, Laura's right hand touched an object, a pair of scissors. Unfortunately, it was only a tiny pair of scissors, but Laura didn't care; she had to fight back.Without a second thought, Laura quickly stabbed the tip of the scissors, and it hit the back of Benny's neck; although it wasn't deep, it was enough to make the man surprised; blood came out from the puncture mark.“You bitch! You want to kill me, huh?” Benny raised his face, and his hand touched the bleeding back of his neck. The man's eyes became fierce, and he slapped Laura hard.“Aargh!” Laura screamed spontaneously, “Benny, let me go!” Laura struggled. “Help! Help!” Laura screamed again, but the man became even angrier. His hands grabbed Laura's neck and choked her.Laura hissed, her voice choked, and spontaneous tears came out of her eyes; she felt so much pain. That's when the door was k
