Filed to story: I Got Married Without You
Eva couldn’t change the past, but she could make sure she wouldn’t do anything that would make her regret in the future.
“Mrs. Evans, if I marry him, I won’t treat him the way I did before. I will give him everything and love him wholeheartedly. I’ll cherish him, protect him, and never betray him.”
When Eva said those, she was sincere. After all, she took relationships seriously. She devoted herself to her ex-husband, and even to Jayden, she believed that if she agreed to be someone’s girlfriend, she had to fulfill her promise. Not to mention Paul, who was different in her heart. So if they were to get married, she would definitely treat him better.
Seeing that Eva wasn’t giving up, Kate changed her approach. “Actually, my son Paul isn’t that great. He used to be a playboy, surrounded by scandals. But that was before he met you. After being with you, he has changed a lot. At least he hasn’t been involved in any scandals frequently. I appreciate you for that. But are you willing to bet?”
Sitting on the couch with her back against it, Kate suddenly sat up straight. She placed her fair hands on the table, palms together, and looked directly into Eva’s eyes with a calm and serious expression. “He was spoiled by us since childhood. He always wants to get what he desires immediately, just like when he wanted to marry Elsie back then. He made a big fuss, but soon after, he got tired of it and didn’t want to marry her anymore. Can you guarantee that if he suddenly proposes to you now, it’s not just a momentary impulse?” Kate knew the hidden truth about Elsic, but intentionally said this to make Eva give up. She had investigated Eva and knew that she had given everything to her ex-husband, only to be betrayed. She knew that women who had experienced such things would naturally be more cautious in handling relationships and marriages. Kate hit Eva’s softest spot, and no one knew Paul better than his own mother. Even his mother thought it was just a momentary impulse, so Eva naturally was scared.
She had also wondered if Paul only wanted to marry her out of a sense of responsibility after they slept together. But when she was in danger, Paul silently stood by her side. He should want to marry her because he loved her, right?
However, Elsie was Paul’s first love, a fleeting romance. It was said that back then, he caused a lot of trouble for the Evans Family just to marry her. Would he treat Eva the same way?
Later on, Paul fell out of love, just as Kate said. He got tired of it and didn’t want to marry anymore. Would he be like that with her too?
When Eva’s mind was in chaos, Kate lightly tapped the table. “Ms. Miller, based on my understanding of my son, if he proposes to you now, it’s definitely just a momentary impulse.
And when he gets tired of it later, he might want to divorce again. Instead of that, you’d better cut off his thoughts first to avoid experiencing another betrayal.”
Kate was quite formidable. With just a few words, she could guide Eva to give up. But Eva felt that even if she wanted to give up, it should be Paul himself who said he didn’t want to marry, not her cutting off his thoughts.
She didn’t want to be the bad person in this situation, so she gritted her teeth and refused. “Mrs. Evans, I’m sorry, I don’t have the power to influence his thoughts like that.”
When Kate heard her say this, she smiled again. “Ms. Miller, I’m offering you a trade. I’m sure you’re not interested, after all, you don’t lack money, and certainly not Paul’s love…”
Kate reached out with her well-groomed hand and grabbed Eva’s hand, holding it gently in her palm and patting it softly.
“Ms. Miller, if you let change Paul’s mind, I will guarantee the success of your career. It will thrive endlessly. If you can’t do it, well, I might have to do something myself. Of course, I won’t go as far as to make you go bankrupt. After all, you’re Rosalyn’s friend, and I won’t do that out of respect for her. But I can make your life difficult.”
After witnessing Kate’s abilities, Eva felt even more sympathetic towards Anthony. “Mrs. Evans, no wonder Edith and Anthony broke up. With a mother like you, it’s impossible for them to stay together.” Using gentle-methods to hit someone’s weak spot and using force to cut off their path, wasn’t that how Anthony was threatened back then?
Eva mentioned Edith and Anthony, and Kate, who always maintained a gentle smile, looked slightly serious as if she had thought of something, and she let go of Eva’s hand.
“Don’t blame me for being heartless. Which parent wouldn’t worry about their own child? If you were born into a better family, had a higher education, and were more virtuous, how could I not accept you?” Kate had learned her lesson from Anthony and Edith’s situation and didn’t want to interfere in her son’s affairs anymore. But from her perspective, Eva couldn’t compare to even Anthony’s pinky finger, yet she wanted to be her daughter-in-law. How could this work?
“Ms. Miller, in fact, wealthy families really emphasize the match between social backgrounds. Because of the different upbringing, thoughts, vision, values, and knowledge, it’s only the hormones that attract you to each other now. Once that passion fades, you’ll realize the importance of differences.”
Out of everything Kate said, this sentence hit Eva’s self-esteem the hardest and left her unable to argue back. Eva clenched her fist, then slowly released it and looked up at Kate, her eyes showing a hint of exhaustion…
She didn’t speak, appearing hesitant and deep in thought. Kate couldn’t see through her, so she continued:
“Although Andrew and Rosalyn are the best example of social mismatch, Andrew is different from Paul. He can tolerate Rosalyn without limits, regardless of her own shortcomings or whatever mistakes she may make. I dare say that even if Rosalyn were to cheat one day, Andrew would still love her. But Paul wouldn’t.”
“He’s still childish and immature. In his eyes, what he can’t have is the best. response…
Kate’s words struck deep within Eva’s soul, laying bare all her fears and making her feel tightness in her chest. It also made her waver, but she couldn’t find any words to say in Seeing Eva’s hesitating expression, Kate knew her words had an effect. She let go of Eva’s hand and reached for her expensive bag on the couch. She opened it and took out a black card, handing it to Eva. “That’s all I have to say. Go home and think carefully about whether you want to marry my son or not. If you choose not to, the card is yours. But if you still choose to marry him, be prepared for interference in your store and your future life. The decision is in your hands…”
After saying this, Kate left, her elegant figure swaying and her footsteps light and graceful, but in Eva’s eyes, it felt like a heavy mountain pressing down on her, making it hard for her to breathe… Feeling suffocated, she couldn’t help but pick up the black card. The dim light imprinted on Eva’s face, revealing a pale, bloodless complexion…
She sat in the cafe for a long time, finally putting the card back in her bag and getting up to leave.
When she returned home, she filled the bathtub with water and relaxed her tense nerves as she lay in it. Her mind flashed with the image of Paul holding her in the bathtub…
Did Paul want to marry her out of responsibility for sleeping with her, or was it because of love? Why couldn’t she differentiate anymore?
With her thoughts in disarray, Eva buried her head in the water, washing away her exhaustion and clearing her mind.
Regardless, she had to let Paul know about Kate’s visit and let him make the decision himself. Whether Paul ultimately chose his mother or her, it was Paul’s business.
If he still insisted on marrying her after knowing about this, then she would go all out and seek his mother’s approval. After all, asking for help wasn’t a big deal. But if Paul chose his mother, then they would have no future…
It was simple, no need to overthink..
After coming to this realization, Eva got up from the bathtub, dried her hair, and dived into the bed.
After a night of turmoil two nights ago and another night of turmoil last night, she was exhausted and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, when Eva woke up, it was already evening, showing just how tired she was. She got up and freshened up, then picked up her phone and removed Paul from the blacklist. She called him, but he didn’t answer.
Glancing at the time, Eva thought Paul should be at home at this hour, so she got in the car and headed straight to Paul’s villa.
When she arrived, the butler said Paul had been busy lately and was staying in an apartment close to the company, not at the villa. He told Eva to go to the apartment area to find him.
Eva could only turn the car around and drive towards the city center. cuts At the gathering, Paul deliberately kept everyone guessing about who he was going to marry. Everyone was getting anxious and kept pouring him drinks until he was drunk. Only then did Paul announce that he was going to marry Eva…
His friends knew who Eva was, and when they heard that Paul was going to marry her, they were shocked. They thought Paul was crazy for wanting to marry someone who had been divorced and even hurt him before. They tried to advise him to be more sensible, reminding him that there were plenty of good women waiting to marry him. They told him not to make a rash decision.
Drunk and unhappy, Paul got angry and kicked over a chair. He started cursing at his friends who were trying to reason with him, and he almost started a fight.
If Anthony hadn’t stopped him, Paul would have already fought with his friends who were badmouthing Eva.
After finishing his rant, Paul felt that the gathering was boring. He grabbed his coat and stumbled away.
Anthony, feeling down, didn’t follow him. He sat alone in the corner, feeling lonely, and continued drowning his sorrows with alcohol…
Dizzy and disoriented, Paul stumbled out of the private room and ran into Elsie.
It seemed like she was deliberately waiting for him. When she saw him, she didn’t seem surprised at all. In fact, she walked towards him.
“Paul, I heard you’re getting married?”
Elsie looked a bit sad as she looked up at Paul.
He was about to have a wife, so he needed to keep a distance from other women. He bypassed Elsie and walked unsteadily towards a nearby corridor.
He almost tripped, but Elsie quickly grabbed onto him…
“Let me go.”
He couldn’t have any contact with other women. Eva wouldn’t be happy about it. Paul’s mind was only filled with thoughts of Eva. He pushed Elsie away forcefully. Elsie, pushed aside, watched Paul’s swaying figure and her elaborately made-up face darkened.
Paul had already deleted her. She couldn’t see his posts on social Thinking about the person she couldn’t have, who was easily won over by Eva, Elsie felt furious, trembling with anger. She couldn’t help but step forward and follow Paul closely. He had drunk too much and when he walked out of the hotel, he fell to the ground. Elsie saw him fall and felt that this was her chance. She quickly ran over and helped him up.
She arrived at Paul’s apartment before Eva did. She came here mainly because there was a butler at the villa and Paul had instructed the butler not to let her in. She had heard from his friends that Paul had a large apartment in the city, and he had been living there recently because of the Evans’ project, which was close to the company.
Elsie had the address and originally planned to intercept Paul here, but she couldn’t intercept him. Tonight, she finally found an opportunity to catch him while he was drunk, and she had to make good use of it. With this in mind, Elsie supported the tall Paul and used his fingerprint to open the door. She laid him down on the bed, and as soon as she finished, she heard the doorbell ring.
Elsie hurriedly walked out of the master bedroom and took a look. She saw Eva standing outside the door, and her face suddenly darkened.
She didn’t know about Paul’s apartment, but Eva seemed familiar with it, which meant that Eva was more important to Paul than she was. Realizing this, Elsie felt resentful. Why could this older woman win Paul’s heart while she couldn’t?
Elsie became angrier and angrier as she watched Eva try the password several times and fail. When she saw Eva trying to enter the password, she quickly turned around and hurried towards the master bedroom…
Eva tried several passwords, all of which were incorrect. She remembered that when she was dating Paul, he had sent her the password, so she took out her phone and found the note. She entered the numbers according to the password in the note, and the door opened…
After Eva entered, she called out Paul’s name, but no one responded. She walked towards the study, thinking that Paul must be busy with his computer and couldn’t hear her.
However, as she crossed the hallway, she heard a woman’s moaning coming from the master bedroom – the kind of sound made during intimate moments.
Eva’s heart skipped a beat, and her footsteps instantly froze.
She slowly turned her body to face the master bedroom and stood there for a full two minutes before gathering the courage to take a step forward and walk towards the closed door. As she got closer, the woman’s voice became louder…
The door was not closed, and through the crack, Eva could see the direction of the bed, but it was covered with a blanket, so sh couldn’t see clearly who was on it.
She realized that something was happening inside, but she didn’t know where she found the courage. She raised her trembling fingers and pushed the door open… What she saw inside was Elsie sitting on the bed, moving under the blanket. She made pleasurable sounds, and the entire bed was shaking with her movements… Even in the dim light, Eva could clearly see the side of the person underneath.
At that moment, Eva’s heart felt like it had been pierced by a thousand arrows.What was the difference between this scene and when she saw Daniel cheating before? Well, there was a difference. She didn’t love Daniel as much, so seeing this scene only made her angry. But she really liked Paul, so seeing someone she liked making love with the other woman broke her heart…
When Eva was humiliated by Kate, she never shed a tear. But now, her eyes were swollen and tears were flowing uncontrollably like an endless fountain. She wiped away the tears on her face, determined not to cry, but the tears kept falling…
Her vision was blurry and she couldn’t see clearly what the person on the bed was doing. But the woman’s soft and tearful voice in her ears made her uncomfortable, so she covered her ears.
Turns out, while Paul was being intimate with her, he was also involved with Elsie. No, even when he wasn’t being intimate with her, he was still involved with Elsie… Like last time, when she was drugged by Jayden and came out of the hotel, didn’t she see him hugging Elsie?
But… what did she mean to him?
