Chapter 103
Afterwards, Eva took a moment to visit the restroom in order to alleviate her embarrassment.
When she emerged, she unexpectedly ran into a familiar face in the hallway outside the restroom.
Eva’s steps halted as she looked at the young girl before her, who wore a sorrowful expression.
They weren’t exactly familiar with each other, but had met briefly at the hospital last time. It was Diana’s daughter, Paula.
When Eva had wanted to go to the hospital for an abortion, she had encountered Diana, and if it wasn’t for her daughter’s situation, Diana would have probably proclaimed her own affairs to the world long ago.
Seeing this girl, Eva thought back to that day at the hospital when she had firmly told Diana, “I like him p>
She wasn’t alone here; standing beside her was a tall, slender man who had a good-looking appearance.
He was bending over, grasping Paula’s shoulders, and pleading with a mournful expression. “Paula, please consider it as my plea to you. Let’s have the child aborted. You’re still young, you can’t just drop out of school and have a child now, can you? Besides, I haven’t even made plans to be a father yet. Give me some more time, let’s wait until later to have a child, alright p>
As Eva approached, she finally heard their conversation clearly. She looked at the man speechlessly. However, the two of them were immersed in their own conversation, not having the leisure to notice the people around them.
“But you didn’t say this before, didn’t you say… if there was a child, we would get married? Don’t you love me? What’s the problem with becoming a father p>
“Paula, I like you, but your parents don’t like me. So, we still need time to work hard. Think about it, if you have a child now, your parents would dislike me even more. Will we still have a chance to be together in the future p>
Hearing this, Paula seemed to be swayed and didn’t respond. The tall, slender man, seeing her hesitation, continued, “Look, we’re both still young. When would be a good time to have a child if not now? Didn’t you say before that you were willing to do anything for me? This time, it’s my fault, but please, just this once, do it for me, okay p>
Eva pursed her lips. She hadn’t expected this man to be such a scoundrel. What did he mean by doing anything for him? He really had a high opinion of himself. But after all, this was someone else’s business, and she didn’t want to meddle. Everyone has their own destiny and path to walk.
Eva walked past the two of them indifferently, going a long way before she heard the girl’s soft voice say, “Fine, I’ll listen to you p>
Her steps halted, and she sighed internally. Is this how blind one can become when they like someone? She looked back and felt that the girl had been terribly deceived by the man. But what about herself? Did she ever take a step back and see the truth? In the eyes of others, in the position beside Adrian, acting as his fake wife, wasn’t she ridiculous?
Back at the dining table, Eva sat deep in thought, often spacing out. By the time their meal was nearing its end, Eva went to the front desk to settle the bill in advance.
“Miss, your companion has already settled the bill p>
Upon hearing this, Eva paused for a moment before asking, “How much in total p>
After returning, Eva told Michael about transferring the money for the meal to him.
“Transfer?” Michael chuckled lightly, with a lazy look in his eyes. “If you want to add me on WeChat, you can just say it directly next time. We’ve known each other for so many years, no need to be so subtle p>
Eva replied, “Who wants to add you on WeChat p>
Michael asked, “Then what do you mean p>
Eva lifted her chin in the direction of his phone and said, “I meant that you don’t need to add WeChat. Just show me your payment code so I can scan it p>
As soon as she finished speaking, Michael flicked her hand with his finger. “Last time you insisted on paying, and if you succeed this time, where would my dignity be p>
Eva’s eyebrows lightly furrowed. “If you really feel bad, just quit and join Morrison p>
“Far-fetched?” Michael lowered his head, appearing to be in thought. “But, as you said, I do want to steal you away p>
“You think a meal is enough to make me switch jobs. Aren’t you dreaming p>
After speaking, Eva put away her phone and didn’t insist on transferring the money to him.
Let him pay if he wants to pay, the heir to the Morrison Group doesn’t lack that money anyway. As for her money, she’ll save it for her future children.
“Indeed, a meal might not be enough to buy you. Looks like I’ll have to ‘accidentally encounter’ you a few more times in the future p>
Eva noticed that Michael had become much more humorous compared to before. In the past, he only knew how to infuriate people, and now he seemed like a completely different person. It seems that these years abroad have helped him grow. After a few minutes, Michael suggested giving her a ride back to the company.
Without hesitation, Eva directly refused. “No need, it’s not far from here to the company. I’ll just call a car p>
Michael paused for a moment, and didn’t insist anymore, simply nodding his head. “Alright then p>
The two of them left the restaurant together. When they reached the door, Eva saw the tall and thin young man she had encountered in the hallway earlier, Paula’s boyfriend. They were still here? She glanced briefly and her gaze stopped. The woman being embraced by the tall and thin man was not Paula, but a mature-looking female powerhouse. She spoke with a commanding tone. “You still haven’t resolved that matter? People followed you to the restaurant, you’re really impressive p>
“My dear, I had no idea she would change her mind like that. We had an agreement before, and suddenly she didn’t want to get an abortion anymore. I really don’t understand.” “You don’t understand? When you were fooling around with her, did you understand p>
“Darling, my dearest, if it wasn’t for her seducing me, how could I have fallen for it? A dried-up little girl like her can’t compare to even one of your fingers, let alone you, who saved me before. You are my savior, and besides you, I wouldn’t be interested in any other girl p>
The last sentence made Eva’s footsteps come to a halt. She gritted her teeth.
Biting her lip, she restrained herself from impulsively approaching him, but her hand gripping on the side tightened more and more.
“You are my lifesaver p>
“I won’t like any other girl except for you p>
These two sentences, like incredibly sharp swords, pierced into Eva’s heart, leaving her stunned and in pain.
“So, please don’t worry. You will always be the one I love the most p>
While the tall and slender man was still expressing loyalty to the gentlewoman, a cool and indifferent yet pleasant voice suddenly sounded.
“You claim to love her the most, yet you can embrace and kiss other girls. Your love is truly cheap p>
Upon hearing this, the tall and slender man was taken aback and as he snapped back to reality, he saw a beautiful girl with delicate eyebrows and clear eyes standing in front of him. “Who are you p>
