Chapter 1944 Her Son And Hers
Mabel stared at his retreating figure with a cold gaze. Once Janice returned from the hospital and moved into the Simpson residence, she would like to see how Janice would make Wilbur lose the Seet family’s support. After Janice’s plan, she was going to add fuel to the flames and force Wilbur out of the Simpson family. By then, Mabel wanted to see how Wilbur was going to keep up with his arrogant ways.
In the end, the Simpson family would be her son’s and hers. That’s right. By then, I’ll have to get Nicholas to pick one of the socialites with a strong family background as his fiancée. With her, Nicholas’ life will get better and better.
With that thought in mind, Mabel began making calls and asking around the details of the rich families in Y City, hoping to find a good fiancée for Nicholas.
The next night, after working, Stephen and Nina headed to the office’s parking lot together. “Have you thought about where you’re going to go?” Nina asked. “Yes.”
“Where to?”
Stephen turned to her and said, “It’s a secret for now. You’ll know when you’re there.” That response piqued Nina’s interest. She was curious as to where Stephen would go.
The car sped down the road as lights zoomed past them. The stars in the sky cheekily blinked at them as they formed a beautiful painting with the city lights.
It had been a long time since Nina had spent time looking at Y City at night. She never realized that it was that beautiful.
The night breeze rushed into the car through the window and billowed her hair. The fragrance she had put on began filling the inside of the car, wafting across their noses.
“Nina, I’ve never heard of you talking about your wishes.”
“What’s with the sudden question?” Nina mulled over his words, thinking, Did Stephen find out what day it is today?
“I just suddenly thought about it. Are you okay with talking about it?”
As she combed her hair with her fingers, she muttered, “I hope that more people will learn about my skincare products. I hope that my brand is something that they can love.”
“And they will. You’re working very hard on this, so I’m sure you’ll be able to come up with even better products. Do you have any other wishes that are unrelated to products?”
A beat later, Nina said, “I hope someone will count stars with me. Does that count as a wish?”
Stephen chuckled. “Of course! Anything else?”
“I can’t think of anything right now.”
Nina then turned to look out of the window. The road they were on was one she had never taken before. It was remote, and it seemed like they were heading out of the city. She then asked Stephen where he was bringing her to.
“In ten minutes, we’ll reach there, and you’ll know when we get there.”
Ten minutes? Nina sighed before suppressing her curiosity. She then stared out of the window to admire the night sky.
Although it was pitch-black around her, she did not fear anything with Stephen by her side. It was as if there was a star in her that drove away all fear in her.
Ten minutes later, the car came to a stop at a winery.
Nina then swiftly took in the sight of the winery. The place was like a paradise away from the bustling city. The place was quiet, and the winery was the only spot covered in lights.
“This is my first time here. How did you find this place?”
“I heard about it from a friend. They said that there’s a unique winery here, so I’ve come here once. I thought the decor and the services here are not bad, so I wanted to take you here.”
Nina’s eyes lit up at that, and she followed Stephen into the winery.
Indeed, the winery was unlike other places.
The decor seemed simple yet interesting. Walking in the courtyard made her feel as if she was returning home.
The server then walked over and gave them a gentle smile. “Good evening. What kind of room would you like?”
“My girlfriend’s a romantic person, so we’d like to have a cozy room. It’ll be even better if we can count the stars in the room. Is there anything you can recommend to us?”
