Eva had replied so fast on the phone that Eugene could not believe his ears.“Did you just say ‘no’? Evie, the engagement party is tomorrow. Stop being so emotional. You should attend it with Nathan. It’s your sister’s engagement, after all."He tried his best to talk Eva into it. He was already on cloud nine over what would happen on that day.Once everyone witnessed Nathan Langley and Mason Young present at the engagement party, they would get busy trying to get into his good graces.Who would dare look down on him when his daughters had married the CEO of Langley Corporation and the CEO of Scope Investments?They previously made fun of him for not having a son. Who would dare say a thing now that both of his daughters had married such great partners? As their father, he would become someone who deserved respect as well.This was especially for the Lanes’ relatives. They could not wait to curry favor with him.Eugene’s eyes narrowed at the thought of how much he was going to b

Nathan and Eva were affected by the children’s excitement and happiness as well. Smiling, they followed behind them as they headed downstairs.Breakfast was scrumptious as usual, and because they were about to go on a long journey, Mrs. Wilson had prepared lots of good food.There were buttery pastries, bacon and ham, and even oatmeal that was rich with fruit. They were all Eva and the children’s favorites.The children exclaimed happily, “Wow! There's so much yummy food!”“Mommy, Daddy, hurry up and eat breakfast.”Eva and Nathan quickly went to the table. After they were done with breakfast, they headed to the helicopter hangar inside Thriving Dragon Bay amidst the children’s laughter and chattering. They took the helicopter directly to River City for a three-day holiday.It was the first time the children were flying a long distance from Thriving Dragon Bay. Max leaned into Nathan’s arms while looking down on the city. He kept exclaiming excitedly, “Mia, we’re flying higher

Eva’s face was flushed from being drunk, and she was stumbling about slightly. It made her look alluring. Nathan took a gentle breath. He sat next to her, looking serious.“What do you want from me?”His voice was elegant and husky. It sounded like a cello that pulled on her heartstrings. Eva's heart thumped faster, and the look in her eyes became mistier.“Nathan.”“Call me ‘Sweetie’.”Sweetie?Eva shook her head vigorously. “No, I won’t.”She looked at him and laughed after saying this. She then lay down next to him in a drunken stupor. Reaching out, she grabbed him by the tie.Nathan allowed her to pull him down and bent toward her. Before he realized what was going on, she was kissing him on the lips.He was stunned when her soft, tender lips brushed on his. He looked down at her, but her eyes were already closed and she was breathing stably.This woman!He shook his head in exasperation. She had gotten him all hot and bothered. He had no choice but to get into the showe

Wanda gently affirmed this when she heard Tyler’s voice.She sipped some red wine and spoke coolly with her back facing everyone, “You’re getting stubborn, Mason Young.”“I’m not.”Mason did not dare look at her. He lowered his head and asked, “What do you want from me, Aunt Wanda?”“Oh? What do I want?”Wanda slammed the glass on the table. The sharp sound echoing from the glass and the marble made everyone jump.“The reason why I began grooming every single person here is to obey me without question, Mason. You’re nothing without me, but you’re choosing to go against me and even asking what I want from you?“What a joke!”Everyone in the living room lowered their heads. They did not dare make a sound.They had previously lived in disgrace and were either beggars, thieves, or so poor that all they had left were their lives. Wanda was the one who gave the money and resources to make them successful.It was the same with Mason as well.Mason clenched his fists and said nothin

Eva shut her eyes gently and breathed in.She felt much more at ease after deciding not to see Mason anymore.“Alright. You should stop thinking about it.”Nathan patted her shoulder gently. “He might not be around anymore, but you still have me.”Those simple words warmed Eva’s heart. She glanced at Nathan with a smile.They stood in the corridor in the night and listened to the rain together as they stared at the entire River City.This was a great place to have a holiday.The pace was slower here, and there were many great dishes to savor. Staying here was a true change of environment.Eva could not help saying, “Looks like the others were right when they said we should have more holidays. I do feel the benefits. Going on holidays broadens the mind and relaxes the soul.”She enjoyed this feeling.Nathan smiled at his woman’s sudden burst of feelings. “Are there any other pretty places you’d like to see?”Pretty places?Eva shook her head. “No idea.“I do want to see the
