Chapter 446 Jacob now understood her point. “Ms. Hansen, is this your first time in this country p> Eva considered for a moment before shaking her head. “Not exactly the first, but the last time I was here alone, I only stayed for two days p> Back then, her accommodation
Chapter 445 The call was from an unfamiliar number. Eva sat rigidly, her posture mirroring the sudden tension that gripped everyone in the car as the ring of the phone sliced through the silence. Her co-worker, Jacob, eyed his own phone with nervous anticipation before turning towards Eva. “Ms. Hansen,
Chapter 444 “Your silence means you’re thinking the same thing, right? You can’t reach him either, and you’re worried, aren’t you?” “Ms. Hansen p> That’s when Jacob snapped back to reality, clenching his teeth. “Yes, I’m worried about Mr. Blackwood. But before leaving, he made it clear: nothing is more
Chapter 443 After wrapping up her conversation with Margaret, Eva went to check on the two little ones. As she approached, both cozied up to her. “Mommy, can we sleep with you tonight p> They usually slept alone. Could it be a sudden sixth sense? “Why do you want to
Chapter 442 “Rest assured, Ms. Hansen,” the bodyguard calmly replied, “Mr. Blackwood has already paid for a full year’s services upfront.” A year? Eva was taken aback when she heard the figure. He had prepaid for such a long time in advance. “So, Ms. Hansen, we’ll ensure your personal safety
Chapter 441 So, Eva was directed back to her desk, while others kept watch by the windows and the door. If there had been a camera pointed at the office at that moment, one might think she was the moll of some mafia boss. Her mood for work was non-existent;
Chapter 440 After putting away her phone, Eva had lost all appetite. She had planned to go out, but now that she was briefed on the basic situation, there was no need. “Ms. Hansen p> The sudden shift in her emotions during the phone call had silenced the staff who
Chapter 439 Reflecting upon it, it made sense. If he hadn’t reached out to her when they were usually in close contact, chances were he had not reached out to anyone else either. Yet, despite knowing this, Eva couldn’t help but seek reassurance. Now, with a response finally in hand,
Chapter 438 The second the idea hit her, Eva hurriedly scrolled through her contacts list, about to call Adrian Blackwood. Yet, after dialing the number, she hesitated, and two seconds later, she canceled the call that hadn’t even gone through. If Adrian hadn’t replied to her message, he was probably
Chapter 437 After freshening up, Eva lay in bed. The blankets, sunned until they were soft and fluffy, seemed to envelop her entirely. She thought she had almost forgotten the events from five years ago, because when she first left, she would often reminisce about the various things that happened
Chapter 436 Eva was utterly shocked to learn about the Blackwood family’s potential relocation from New York to Chicago. She also felt an immense sense of respect from her mother’s decision. But she couldn’t help questioning, “Isn’t the Blackwood family rooted in New York? Wouldn’t moving to Chicago be a
Chapter 435 Once back at home, Margaret’s attentiveness toward her was unmistakable. She took Eva’s hands, hesitating as if struggling to express her thoughts. Forget about Margaret for a second-Eva herself was at a loss for words. She didn’t know how to begin, nor did she know what to call
Chapter 434 Even from a distance, Margaret could spot Eva with the two children. A little boy and a little girl were by her side, their features strikingly similar – they were twins. When Jacob had called her about this, she was astounded. “Children? Adrian Blackwood and Eva’s children p>
Chapter 433 After disembarking from the plane, Jacob was still bustling about, handling her luggage with care. Eva only had to manage the two children. Likely because of the concern over her past kidnapping incident, she was now flanked by several towering bodyguards. They provided a protective formation around her,
Chapter 432 The flight back was emotionally different from the flight there, but neither could be considered pleasant. The only thing she found comfort in was the fact that, on both journeys, her children were by her side. After receiving Adrian Blackwood’s message, Jacob had informed Mr. and Mrs. Blackwood
Chapter 431 “Before I left, Ruby and Dylan were asking when they could see you,” Eva murmured, nestled in his embrace. “Mhm p> Adrian Blackwood hummed in response before adding, “Them, I won’t see just yet p> Lifting her head from his chest, she met his gaze, confusion in her
Chapter 430 And so dinner went just as Eva had expected-by the time they were nearly finished, by the time the meal had grown cold, Adrian Blackwood had still not appeared. And now there was only an hour left before they headed to the airport. Eva shepherded her two little
Chapter 429 This internal debate… it gnaws at him. If he were to admit that he has a soft spot for Uncle Cooper, what then? The thought alone causes Dylan Hansen to blurt out, “Uncle Cooper has been with us for longer.” At those words, Adrian Blackwood’s breath catches in
Chapter 428 After Eva’s explanation, the children had come to believe that Michael was sick now but that he would get better, and by that time, he’d still be their Uncle Michael. Upon receiving this news, the children couldn’t have been more relieved. Just then, Adrian arrived, and the two
Chapter 427 Ever since Adrian promised to look into this matter for her, including David’s injury, his people had moved swiftly. By the next day, Eva had received the latest news about Michael: he was wounded, and David was nowhere to be found. “Vanished?” The news gave Eva an ominous
