Chapter 1963 Future Home
“I believe you can do it!” “Nina, I’m so happy that you trust me. I won’t touch your dad’s empire and the assets of the Seet family. I might not be able to give you a life like the one you have here at Imperial Garden, but I believe we will still be happy.”
Nina’s heart warmed, seeing Stephen’s honesty shining brightly in his eyes.
“Life at Imperial Garden is luxurious and comfortable, but I still have an ideal house in my mind. I anticipate the day when we will move in together. We can decorate our home the way we want it. It doesn’t have to be big or luxurious; I just want to feel at home in my own house. It will be the starting point of our happiness together and the safe harbor for our hearts and souls.”
Stephen felt a surge of happiness, hearing Nina’s expectation of their future together. She was like a ray of light shining into his life, bringing him hope for the future.
“Nina, the life you want is what I want too. I’ll be there with you every single step of the way,” Stephen vowed. Nina nodded and looked into his eyes. Sparks sizzled between them, connecting them. Sweetness, warmth, and happiness were in the air.
Meanwhile, Maya finally climbed out of bed after sleeping till noon. Before she could brush her messy hair, her phone started to ring.
With a glimpse at the screen, she noted it was Sheila. Picking up the call, she said, “Hey, Aunt Sheila.”
“Maya, there’s a scene with you and Wilbur today. When are you guys coming over?”
Maya recalled she still needed to visit the hospital to care for Janice. “About that, Wilbur and I are tied up at the moment. Maybe you can shoot the other parts first, and we’ll join the shoot in the next couple of days. We’ll be okay shooting continuously.”
Sheila thought it over for a moment before answering, “All right. Come over once you’re free. I want to finish the shoot before the new year. That’s all from me. I’m going to let you off now.”
“All right.” Clicking off the call, Maya got out of bed. Her phone started ringing again before she could reach the bathroom. It was Janice this time. Without hesitation, she picked it up. “Hello, Janice?”
“Maya, I heard you went back to change. When are you coming back?”
“I… Immediately.”
“Hurry, please.” “All right.” Quickly ending the call, Maya rushed into the bathroom to wash up.
Looking into the mirror, she checked the outfit she was wearing. After last night, she felt she should bring another set of clothing to the hospital in case Janice dirtied the one she was wearing again.
She walked to her closet, chose a set of clothes, and packed it in her bag. A maid caught her coming down the stairs and informed her that lunch was ready. The butler had asked the chef to prepare her favorite bread and oatmeal.
Her stomach grumbled at the mention of her favorite food. She hadn’t eaten anything since last night. With a glance at her watch, she noted it was lunchtime, so she decided to have lunch first.
“Okay, I’ll have lunch here.” She put down her things and headed for the dining room.
Delicious dishes carpeted the entire dining table. Drooling at the food, she swiftly took a seat and snagged a piece of her favorite bread. A satisfied smile spread on her face as she dug in happily. Her phone started ringing again before she could even finish eating a slice of bread.
Seeing Janice’s name on the screen, she knew the former was calling to hurry her again. She answered her phone and told Janice she would be right there. “Ms. Maya, where are you off to in such a hurry?”
“The hospital.”
Maya quickly nabbed another slice of bread and stuffed it into her mouth. After a few spoonfuls of oatmeal, she hurriedly left the house.
The maid didn’t press further, thinking Maya had something important to do and not wanting to hold her up. The butler caught Maya dashing to the garage with her bag of clothes. Worried about her safety, he advised her to drive slowly.
“Got it.” She backed out of the garage, leaving Imperial Garden behind. On her way to the hospital, her phone rang yet again. Needless to say, she wasn’t surprised to see it was Janice once more.
She stepped on the pedal. Isn’t there a caretaker and Mabel in the hospital? Why is Janice urging me so much?
