"We don't know much about that, we just do what we're told." The manager said truthfully, with a mysterious look on his face as he answered my question. I know he knows something. He just won't tell me.
With no useful information, I sighed and returned to the living room, where I was surprised by the mountain of designer clothes, shoes and bags. The clothes and shoes are all the latest of the season, and many of the bags are limited edition. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it. MK had so many sent to me at one time, which was enough to prove how much power and financial resources were. With MK as my backer, I feel a little uneasy in addition to having confidence. MK must be a man of very high social status. What kind of woman does he want? Why would he want me? Now I have nothing left but a life. What can MK get from me? Even the life I have now is MK. I thought about it for a long time, but didn't come up with anything, so I gave up. Pick one outfit from those clothes, I took a taxi straight to Claude's company. This is the Hansom family company, and it is also where Claude usually deals with pack affairs. People in the company knew me, and I made it to Claude's office, where he was doing his business. I wore a strapless dress. Because I myself have lost a lot of weight during this period of time, the whole person looks thin and thin, and my face has faded from the baby fat, showing a little more of the mature charm of a small woman. When we met yesterday, I was embarrassed, he did not have a good look at me. Seeing my radiant appearance, Claude's eyes flashed deep. He stood up and said, "Have you come to your senses and agreed to accept my rejection?" Seeing Claude's delicate, almost perfect face, I felt like suffocated. I've had a crush on Claude ever since I first met him as a child. It only takes three seconds to love someone, but I had no idea that my love would cost me so much. "It was not you who is going to reject me," I said, taking a deep breath. I could not cry, and gritted my teeth and pretended to be calm. "It is I who have come to refuse you today. It is I, Natalie Fowler, who is rejecting you as my Alpha." "You refuse me?" Claude sneered, "I don't know what you're thinking, but you do realize that it makes no difference to me either way. I'll just say yes." I thought my heart had been numb, but I did not think it could be more painful. Did Claude agree so readily because he wanted me to leave as soon as possible to make room for Vicky? "But I'm going to take all the property with my name on it." I clenched my fist and said, "Everything." No one spoke in the office as soon as my request was made, and an awkward silence hung in the room. Claude looked at me in silence with mixed emotions in his eyes. After a long time, Claude looked "you are crazy" and said, "Nat, you don't need to do this. We can part on good terms and still be friends." I thought I would be able to face Claude calmly today. But when I heard his words, I was still trembling with anger, and my chest was filled with depression. I choked up and said sarcastically: "Otherwise Vicky will always be a mistress, maybe your future children will only be a rogue." "Nat, how can you be such a bitter person now? After all, Vicky is also your sister." Claude's brow furrowed at the mention of children. I stopped looking at Claude's face. I was afraid that I would be weak and compromise: "Then you let Vicky be a secret mistress. The choice is in your hands." My tone was unusually strong, and there was no room for negotiation. I forced myself step by step forward, there is no retreat, even if the front is the abyss, I do not allow myself to retreat. Claude saw that I was not joking. He looked at me in disbelief and said, "Are you crazy?" I laughed at myself. "I'm crazy, but you and Vicky made me do this. I lost my mind when you betrayed me and killed my child. I'm telling you, I deserve all of this, and if you don't give me what I want, you're not going to let me leave, and Vicky is going to spend the rest of her life as a homewrecker.""I'm so disappointed in you. This is who you really are." Claude's face is very ugly: "You are a greedy and vain gold digger." I saw the disappointment in Claude's eyes and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I stood by Claude's side for four years, gave him everything, even my life. Everything my mother left me, I gave to Claude. "Whatever you think, it's up to you. I'm willing to wait. I just don't know if Vicky will wait." I clenched my fist and refused to concede a single step. Claude did not speak, but looked at me in silence. I felt suffocated under Claude's gaze. I hated this man, but at the same time, I was still very worthless. I could not let go or forget this man. I hate myself for being so weak, but this is the first step of my revenge, and I can't compromise. I turned my back to Claude and said, "Take your time, I'll go." Suddenly, Claude came up to me, grabbed my arm, and I stopped on my feet without looking back, but without struggling to push Claude away. "Did you make your decision so quickly? Your love for Vicky is really touching." I chuckled sarcastically. It's just that if Claude saw my face, he would see that I laugh worse than I cry. Claude did not answer: "Who is MK?" When I heard his question, my heart stopped and I looked back at Claude with a shocked face."Nat, where are you?" Mr. Eugen asked with concern.I completely forgot. I've been so focused on Spring lately that I haven't even taken a break. How could Mr. Eugen not have noticed that I've been gone for so long today?When I saw Mr. Eugen's phone call, I felt nervous. Hearing his concern for me warmed my heart and made my nose feel a bit tingly. I even felt like crying a little.
"After that day, Elsie never came to the hospital again, and I continued to accompany Spring in the hospital while Mr. Eugen still took care of her with me every day.On this day, I received a call from Novia. Seeing Novia calling me on her own initiative, I couldn't help but be surprised. I glanced at Mr. Eugen who was resting next to me, and walked outside the ward to answer the phone."Novia?" I had a slight worry in my heart when it came to Novia."Do you have time to talk?" Novia's tone was a bit impatient, and she quickly said.I looked in the direction of the ward. Spring was sleeping at the moment, and Mr. Eugen was by her side, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to leave for a while.I agreed and said, "But I'm worried about Spring. Can we meet somewhere around the hospital?"When Novia heard my suggestion, her tone suddenly became even more hostile. "Hmph, pretending to care. That child is not yours, I don't believe you really care about that child."I heard Novia's tone an
I returned home, feeling physically exhausted, but I just couldn't fall asleep.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Spring lying weakly in the hospital bed, waiting for a blood transfusion. After finally managing to doze off for a little while, I even dreamt of Spring crying and looking for their mother. I woke up drenched in cold sweat, unable to fall back asleep.I know something is not right with my current state. It seems like I have truly become attached to Spring. Even though I know Spring has their own mother and is not my child, I can't control my emotions and treat them as if they were my own.I glanced at the time and realized it was already afternoon. Feeling a bit hungry, I got up and made myself a bowl of instant noodles. As I looked at the steaming noodles, thoughts of Spring came flooding back. How is Spring doing now? They must be happy with their biological parents by their side, right? Despite thin
"Since you're back, just in case Spring gets confused, I'll make Spring call her Miss Natalie from now on," Mr. Eugen spoke again, a hint of pain in his eyes.Hearing his words, my eyes widened involuntarily. Does it mean that because Spring's mother is back, he won't allow Spring to call me mom anymore? I looked at Elsie sitting by the bed, watching Spring, and my lips started trembling."Spring!" I couldn't help but call out, but I was afraid of waking up Spring who was sleeping, so my voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.Elsie's lips curled up slightly, pretending to look innocent, and said, "Murphy, you really hired a good nanny this time. She has such deep affection for our Spring, I'm really happy about it." Elsie's tone was praising, and her eyes towards me were filled with admiration, as if I were just a nanny.I was taken aback and looked at Mr. Eugen. Elsie mistook me for a nanny, but what about
I walked towards the nearby sofa with a sense of disappointment and sat down. I listened as Spring called Elsie "mom," and it made me feel uneasy. Spring was just a child, and he quickly got tired after playing for a while. Elsie gently tucked him in and then sat down next to me. However, I couldn't help but notice that she was sitting a bit far away from me, whether intentionally or unintentionally."I never expected that taking care of a child could be so exhausting. You've really been through a lot these past few days," Elsie said, with a hint of playfulness in her voice. I was already quite delicate-looking, but at this moment, I looked even more adorable and pitiable.So Mr. Eugen had been involved with a woman like her before. I suppose every man would be attracted to a woman like her, right? Even if he left, he probably wouldn't easily forget her, would he?My expression couldn't help but turn unpleasant. Elsie had come back, and judging by her appearance, it seemed like she wa
I felt a warmth in my heart. Even though I appeared confident in front of Mrs. Eugen, deep down I felt a bit insecure, thinking that I didn't really deserve Mr. Eugen. But Mr. Eugen's unwavering attitude truly made me feel secure.I couldn't help but turn my head and saw Mr. Eugen smiling at me."Murphy, you are really clueless," Mrs. Eugen said with a disdainful look, disgusted by my persistence. But knowing that today was not the day for any outcome, she left in a hurry.After Mrs. Eugen left, I didn't feel relieved. My mind was still filled with Mrs. Eugen's and Novia's words. Before I could think too much, Mr. Eugen looked into my eyes earnestly and said, "Nat, don't overthink it. I like you, and if you're willing to give me a chance, I would be really happy. I love you. The luckiest thing in my life is being with you."I knew Mr. Eugen liked me, really liked me. But I couldn't ignore Mrs. Eugen's words and I co
