Chapter 281
Her rejection was already clear.
However, after a prolonged silence, Michael’s voice remained gentle. “Eva, what happened? If you don’t need me, then should I send David? He knows more, so that the salespeople won’t try to deceive you when you choose a car Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, Eva impatiently interrupted him, “Do I look that foolish? So foolish that any salesperson who approaches me can easily deceive me?” “That’s not what I meant.” Michael explained gently.
“If that’s not what you meant, then why are you wanting to send David over? I said I don’t need any help, didn’t you understand?” Eva’s tone was confrontational. There was silence on the other end.
After speaking harshly, Eva felt some regret in her heart.
After all, the person on the other end of the phone had been exceptionally good to her for the past five years, but being too soft would only bring harm to him and achieve nothing. Instead of continuing like this, it was better to end it quickly.
Not hearing any response from Michael’s side, Eva thought that he probably didn’t want to speak with her anymore. Surprised that he didn’t hang up despite being angry, she ended the call herself. After hanging up, she stood in place and sighed deeply.
That’s how it has to be. The words she spoke might have hurt him, but it was for the best for both of them.
Before boarding the subway, Eva glanced once again at her conversation history with NightA, who was still silent.
Not contacting her and not replying to her text messages, it seemed that he must have been delayed by something. With nothing else to do in the afternoon, Eva arrived at the school early to pick up her kids. She arrived half an hour in advance, so she was allowed to enter the school and wait. Since the children were still in class, Eva waited outside the classroom area, not wanting to disturb them. She flipped through her phone, checking messages and talking to Emily about the afternoon.
Emily had been Eva’s best friend since childhood. Even though Eva had become a mother to two children, she still confided in Emily like a teenage girl. Emily, being the good friend that she was, would secretly chat with Eva even while at work. “Don’t worry, Eva. It’s quite difficult to reject someone who has been so good to you, not because you’re seeking their kindness but because they are genuinely wonderful. Rejecting them and turning them away with harsh words would only make them feel hurt, and that would trigger feelings of guilt and remorse within you. But in matters of the heart, we must be cautious of such emotions. What you’re doing now is right, so don’t look back p>
These words made Eva slightly narrow her eyes and she smiled, asking Emily, “You never used to be someone who would say such profound things. Why are you so serious now p>
With a hint of pride in her voice, Emily’s tone changed as she replied, “You don’t know, a few days ago something happened to me. My devil of a boss rejected the confession of a top beauty right in front of me. That beauty was his former classmate who treated him well and liked him a lot. Not only was she smart and beautiful, but she was also a talented dancer. But my boss rejected her outright, telling her not to trouble him anymore, or he wouldn’t mind cutting ties. The beauty was left in tears. After she left, I told him he was too cruel and ruthless, and he explained this principle to me p>
Eva had seen the boss Emily spoke of, who was a serious, cold-looking man with a handsome face and a strong presence. He was reserved and spoke sparingly. That was her first impression of him, and after hearing Emily’s description, she also learned that he was a workaholic. It seemed natural for such formal words to come from his mouth.
“So, you applied his advice in your own life?” Eva replied with a smile.
Emily responded with a smile, her eyes narrowing, “Of course p>
“Do you no longer think there’s something wrong with your boss now?” Eva continued typing.
“He does have some issues, of course, but that doesn’t mean I can’t use his words to comfort you. Don’t you think it makes sense?” Emily’s reply quickly came through.
“Well, it does make sense.” Eva chuckled. Although Emily usually had a lot of complaints about her boss, seeing her use his words to comfort her made Eva realize something. At least in some aspects, Emily trusted her boss to an extreme extent, using his words as advice to others.
The key point was that Eva found herself agreeing as well. Indeed, his straightforward and decisive approach to life was the right attitude to face it. As the time for school to end approached, Eva put away her phone and didn’t chat with Emily anymore.
When the two little ones came out and rushed into her arms, their first words were, “Mommy, how did you come in p>
Eva ruffled the heads of the two little ones and said, “I got off work early today, so I came in to wait p>
Ruby looked around and then said in an angelic voice, “I thought Mommy was like Uncle NightA, coming in to talk to us.” Eva was taken aback by these words.
After a few seconds of shock, she reacted and held Ruby’s face in her hands, looking at her seriously. “Ruby, what did you just say p>
Ruby looked at her with her bright eyes, puzzled. “I said Uncle NightA, what’s wrong, Mommy p>
“You mean the NightA who always comes to watch your livestream in the broadcasting room?” Eva quickly asked.
Ruby nodded.
After she nodded, Eva turned to Dylan and asked, “Dylan? Is what Ruby said true p>
Dylan pursed his lips and replied, “Yes, Mommy, it seems like NightA’s child is also here p>
NightA has a child?
This information surprised Eva a bit.
She never expected that he would have a child. She thought that someone who constantly watched the livestream of the two little ones and donated so much money wouldn’t have a child yet, so they could be so generous. But this was a bit too coincidental.
An alarm bell rang in Eva’s mind. After all, he had been appearing quite frequently lately. First, he contacted her but didn’t show up, and now her children bumped into him here.
Thinking of this, Eva’s expression immediately became serious. “Dylan, how many times have you encountered him? What did he say to you p>
“Well, Mommy!” Ruby hugged her sleeve and almost hung on Eva’s body. “I met Uncle NightA once on the plane here p>
This statement stunned Eva again. “What p>
Dylan nodded too. “Yes, Mommy, I also bumped into Uncle NightA in the airport restroom, but he didn’t know me at that time.” “You Eva frowned. “You actually met him before coming to Chicago p>
