Chapter 179
After dinner, Michael rolled up his sleeves and said, “I’ll wash the dishes p>
“No need, just tidy them up and put them in the dishwasher p>
Unfortunately, Michael’s movements were too quick. Without waiting for Eva’s reaction, he had already taken the dishes away. Emily couldn’t help but tease when she saw this.
“Alright, Eva, if he wants to do you, just let him. If you don’t agree, how would he perform p>
“Yeah,” Michael chimed in, “I need to show off a bit too p>
With the conversation having reached this point, Eva couldn’t say much more and handed over the remaining tasks to Michael.
When it was time to rest in the evening, even though Emily had her own room to sleep in, she insisted on cuddling with Eva, holding a pillow.
Rain was falling outside the window, and the temperature in the room had dropped.
But with the two of them squeezed together, the warmth inside the blanket increased.
“I remember when we were in school, I often secretly slept over at your place. However, your bed was so big back then. I kept wondering if all rich families had beds this big,” Emily said, reminiscing about the past. “Probably because my dad was afraid I would fall off the bed, so I always slept on a specially tailored size,” Eva replied, unable to suppress a smile.
“When you mention it, I remember rolling around your bed, but no matter how much I rolled, I wouldn’t fall off p>
Recalling the past always evoked a deep sense of nostalgia.
It turned out we were so happy back then, so many years have passed already.
Emily talked about past events with great joy, chirping like a little bird.
“Oh, do you remember when we used to sneak food while still in bed, and we were caught by your family’s nanny p>
There was no response to that sentence.
Thinking that Eva had fallen asleep, Emily instinctively looked at her, only to see her with lowered eyes.
Absent-mindedness.
“Eva, Eva p>
Emily called Eva several times in a row before she came to her senses.
“What’s wrong with you p>
Eva could only smile, “It’s nothing, I was just lost in thought p>
Unexpectedly, Emily grabbed the back of her head forcefully and sternly said, “After years of being sisters, I know something is bothering you. Come clean with me p>
Hearing this, Eva finally glanced at her and pondered for a moment before saying, “Can you stop saying things like that in the future p>
“What things?” Emily was completely baffled by the sudden change in topic.
Knowing she was confused, Eva reminded her proactively.
“At dinner tonight p>
Upon hearing this, Emily immediately understood.
“You mean when I joked about you and Michael p>
Eva fell silent.
“So you’re absent-minded because of that?” Emily asked, puzzled.
Eva softly replied, “I feel that it’s not right p>
“Do you mean you feel awkward because of the things I said, or is it because you don’t want to be with Michael, so you think what I said is not good p>
“I p>
“Eva, I don’t quite understand.” Emily tapped her chin. “It’s been five years, and Michael has been attentive to you in every way. He spoils and accommodates you in every regard. Even a stone would have warmed up by now, wouldn’t it?” Eva pursed her red lips and remained silent.
“But if he were a little ugly, or poorer, or treated you poorly, and you said you didn’t like him, I think I could understand. But no, Michael is one in a million in terms of looks, not to mention his wealth. You must know how he treats you.” Upon hearing this, Eva couldn’t help but furrow her delicate eyebrows in disagreement.
“But relationships aren’t based on these things p>
“What do they depend on then? Tell me,” Emily smiled. “Why don’t you just tell me if there’s someone you’ve liked in these five years? Someone who has shown interest in you, not just Michael p>
“Eva, I have children and I don’t want to consider these things p>
“But those people don’t mind that you have children. Michael treats Ruby and Dylan as his own children, doesn’t he p>
“Yes, I know, I owe him a lot p>
Maybe I’ll never be able to repay him in this lifetime.
“If I were Michael and heard you say this, I would definitely be heartbroken,” Emily couldn’t help but feel sorry for Michael. “I think he’s really great. Handsome, from a good family, and most importantly, he’s faithful, with no other women by his side, just you. If you can like him, you will definitely have a happy life together in the future p>
“Emily p>
“Okay, okay, no matter how good Michael is to you, and no matter what impression you have of him, you have to believe that I am on your side. I’m only suggesting this because I think he’s a good person. But if you really don’t like him, then we won’t pursue it. It’s not a big deal, I won’t mention it again p>
Thinking that Eva would try to persuade her, she was somewhat surprised to hear this.
“You’re not trying to persuade me?” she asked.
“Why should I persuade you? Are you silly? You’re my sister, how could I force you to do something you don’t like? Besides, even if I forced you, it might not work p>
At this point, Eva showed a naive smile, like a little girl.
After becoming a mother, she rarely smiled like this.
If she had known that saying these words would work, she should have said more. After all, as her best friend, it was her duty to protect her smile.
After setting the date to return to their home country, Eva told the two children about this.
The two babies were very obedient and listened no matter what she said.
Ruby Hansen even nestled into her arms directly.
“Wherever mommy goes, Ruby will go too p>
Dylan Hansen also shyly said, “Yeah, Ruby’s right p>
Eva reached out and touched the little heads of the two of them and said softly, “Then later, you can do a live broadcast and tell everyone about our recent news, that we will temporarily stop broadcasting until we settle down and stabilize everything after returning home p>
“Okay, mommy, we’ll do a live broadcast later p>
While Eva was packing, the two children went straight to their room to start the live broadcast.
When the live audience discovered that today’s live broadcast background of the two cute kids was different from usual, not in the living room but in a warm little room, they began asking in the barrage. “Live broadcast? Why not p>
Among those who felt confused was Adrian, who was currently sitting in his office, putting down his work to watch the live broadcast of the two cute kids.
Upon hearing the announcement of no more live broadcasting, Adrian’s eyes immediately changed, and his fingers, with distinct joints, involuntarily tightened. No more live broadcasts?
Why?
Adrian’s first thought was: Did they think he gave too much in tips?
