Chapter 238The atmosphere in Grandma Clara’s living room felt warm that night. The children were busy making plans, their laughter filling the room, while Elena was having a light conversation with Mommy Sonia. Nathan sat not far away, occasionally watching the twins who were being carried in turns by Grandma Clara and Sonia.Suddenly, the sound of the front door opening was heard. A tall man with sharp features and neatly combed dark brown hair entered, carrying a small suitcase. His face immediately lit up with a smile when he saw the big family.“Steven!” Grandma Clara exclaimed as she stood up.“Hello, Oma!” the man replied, his voice deep but warm. He quickly approached and hugged Grandma Clara tightly.Nathan, who had been sitting on the sofa, stood up spontaneously, his eyes widening. “Steven Gerrard! My God, how long has it been since you came home?”Steven chuckled softly. “Fifteen years, Nathan. Too long, isn’t it?”Nathan laughed broadly and immediately embraced his cousin
Damian gazed at his wife’s face, still pressed tightly against his chest. Tamara’s breath felt warm on his skin, her eyes half-closed, yet her lips kept seeking attention. He knew his wife wasn’t in the mood for long conversations, she only wanted to be pampered.“Tamara…” Damian’s voice was faint, as if holding back the turmoil inside him.Tamara only replied with a soft moan, her hands circling her husband’s neck, clinging closer. That sweet clinginess made Damian unable to simply stay still anymore. He finally lifted his wife’s body carefully, as though carrying the most fragile thing in the world.Tamara chuckled softly in his arms. “Are we going to make love tonight?” she asked quietly.Damian only gave a slight smile, then carried her into the bedroom. He laid Tamara gently on the bed, adjusting the pillows so his wife would feel comfortable. As soon as her body touched the mattress, Damian leaned down, kissing Tamara’s neck slowly. His lips moved tenderly, sometimes accompanied
At seven in the evening, the big family house was already brightly lit. The garden lamps glowed warmly, as if welcoming the arrival of special guests. A car stopped right in front of the main entrance.Nathan got out first, then helped Elena and the children out one by one. Olivia, Katty, Delya, and Alva ran playfully while laughing, while Nathan carried Ellyn, and Elena carried Edward.As soon as the door opened, Grandma Clara appeared with a wide smile. “My grandchildren!” she exclaimed, her voice trembling with joy. She immediately pulled Olivia, Katty, Delya, and Alva into her big embrace. “Oh dear, Grandma missed you so much.”Olivia giggled. “Grandma, don’t hug too tight, I can’t breathe.”Grandma laughed. “Oh, sorry sweetheart. But I missed you so much.”Before she could let go of the four children, her eyes had already fallen on the twins. She quickly took Ellyn from Nathan’s arms and kissed her cheeks repeatedly. “Oh my God, this sweet baby… Look at these cheeks, like steamed
Elena finally finished her design just before dusk. She took a deep breath and closed her laptop. Her hands, trembling from exhaustion, brushed gently across her face.Nathan, who had been waiting in the small workspace, immediately approached. He stood behind Elena’s chair and wrapped his arms around her. “Finally finished, hmm?”Elena turned with a faint smile. “Yes, it feels like my eyes are about to pop out. But I’m relieved everything is done on time.”Nathan didn’t say much. He only pressed a gentle kiss on his wife’s hair, then moved his hands to massage her shoulders slowly. His movements weren’t hurried, but full of care, even though he himself was just as tired after a long day of work.Elena closed her eyes for a moment, savoring the massage. “You’re tired too, aren’t you? Why are you giving me a massage instead?”“Because you’re my wife,” Nathan answered softly. “If you’re exhausted, I feel it too. So let me help a little.”Elena chuckled. She rose from her chair and hugge
Chapter 234At four in the afternoon, Nathan had just entered the house. As soon as the living room door opened, Olivia came running with a folder full of sketches.“Daddy! Look at this!” she exclaimed with a bright face.Nathan, still taking off his shoes, smiled. “What is it, sweetheart? You look very excited.”Olivia opened the folder and pulled out several sheets of paper. “These are my designs. I tried drawing a hotel concept. Daddy, you have to see it.”Nathan carefully took the papers and spread them out on the living room table. Elena, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up and walked over.“Wow…” Nathan studied the drawing seriously. “This is really neat. Did you make this by yourself?”Olivia nodded quickly. “Yes, Daddy. I drew it last night and stayed up a little late. I want to know what you think.”Elena smiled proudly as she looked at the details of the design. “Olivia, Mommy is truly impressed. Look, Daddy, she didn’t just draw the building, but also thought about the la
Chapter 233 Nathan’s footsteps echoed firmly as he entered the company lobby that morning. His black suit was neat, and his tie perfectly knotted. Beside him, Samon followed closely, carrying several important files. The office atmosphere was still fresh as employees had just started their activities, but a few pairs of eyes immediately turned toward their CEO. Whispers quickly spread. “Look, there’s a red mark near Mr. Nathan’s chin,” one female employee whispered, holding back a small laugh. “Oh my, that must be from Mrs. Elena,” another chimed in, covering her mouth. “So romantic. Even at middle age, they’re still so affectionate.” Nathan didn’t notice the conversation at all. He walked calmly, focused on his own thoughts. From time to time, he glanced at his watch, making sure his schedule was not disrupted. Samon, who also heard the whispers, only sighed softly while suppressing a smile. As the two were about to enter the elevator, suddenly hurried footsteps came from beh
