“One more time, okay?”
The tingling sensation from the friction made Eva’s body stiff, and her ears gradually turned red. She raised her hand to push Paul’s head away, but he didn’t listen. He leaned in and captured her lips, kissing her with desire.
Compared to the madness of last night, Paul was obviously much gentler at this moment. However, just one kiss suffocated Eva and made her body go weak…
There were two conflicting thoughts fighting in her mind. She had been drunk last night, which made her do irrational things. Now that she was sober, she needed to push him away quickly…
Eva hesitated, but before she could make a decision, Paul pushed her down onto the sofa. Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, the sunset faded away, and darkness gradually descended…
Eva pushed Paul away with some difficulty, panting for breath. She clenched her small fists and waved them in front of Paul’s face.
“If you mess around again, be careful I’ll punch you!”
Looking at her fierce appearance, the smile in Paul’s eyes deepened.
He grabbed both of Eva’s hands with one hand and pressed them onto the sofa, making her unable to move. Then, he leaned close to Eva’s face.
“Eva, thank you for still having me in your heart…”
When Rosalyn had said that Eva still had him in her heart, he couldn’t feel it. Now he felt it. Eva didn’t resist him after what she had been through, which meant that he still had a place in her heart. As long as she had him in her heart, everything was worth it.
With his other hand, Paul brushed away the messy hair that covered Eva’s face. Then, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead with utmost sincerity and seriousness.
“I’ll go inform my parents and propose to you again. Stay at home and wait for me, okay?”
A strange emotion rippled in Eva’s heart…
She didn’t respond to Paul verbally, but in her heart, she silently agreed. Paul couldn’t hear it, but he took it as her approval.
After kissing her forehead and check again, Paul let and, still smiling, deliberately loosened his towel… go of her Eva, who had previously felt somewhat touched, screamed in fright at the sight and jumped up, slapping his head.
“You’re asking for death!”
After slapping him, Eva pushed him away and covered her face, running out of the master bedroom. Watching her fleeing figure, Paul rubbed his slightly sore forehead and the curve of his lips deepened…
From last night until now, the smile on his face hadn’t faded.
Paul thought that this moment might be the happiest moment of his life.
After changing his clothes, Paul left the villa and didn’t see Eva, but it didn’t matter. They would see each other again soon.
Paul returned to his own home, cleaned up, randomly picked a car from the garage, and headed towards the old house…..
Kate and Eric had seen Paul’s tweet and they weren’t surprised when he returned.
Edith had a falling out with both of them, but not Paul. Even if he did, when it came to marriage, he still needed to inform his parents.
When Paul returned, without saying a word, Eric and Kate acted as if they didn’t know anything and instructed the servants to prepare dinner and tea.
After exchanging a few words in the living room, they moved to the dining table. It was then that Paul spoke up, “Mom, Dad, I’m getting married. Can you help me prepare?”
Unlike Andrew, Paul had his parents around, so these matters had to be handled by them. At least when it came to engagement, both husband and wife had to personally go, showing their importance to Eva.
Paul knew this, which was why he came back to inform them. However, Eric and Kate glanced at each other and it was Kate who spoke up in the end, “Who are you marrying?”
Actually, they knew very well that Paul had a girlfriend a few years ago who was three years older than him.
They were together for quite a long time, about three years, and even after they broke up, they were still entangled.
The last time Paul got drunk in the middle of the night and crashed into Jonny’s car was because of that woman. Later, he was even provoked by that woman’s boyfriend…
Eric and Kate didn’t ask about these things, but that didn’t mean they didn’t know anything. It was precisely because they knew everything that they were very unhappy about their son’s marriage. However, they took Edith’s situation as a lesson and even though Kate, who had been tough on her, was dissatisfied, she put on a smiling face instead.
Paul glanced at Kate and could tell right away that his mother was fake smiling. “Her name is Eva, she’s the person I love the most in my life, and the person I must marry.”
After saying that, he looked at his parents, “You must have already investigated her, so there’s no need to ask. I came back today just to let you know that I’m going to marry her.”
Actually, Eric didn’t care that much about his children’s marriages. As long as they liked the person, it was fine.
But Kate was different. She cared about social status and the other person’s character. After investigating Eva, she naturally felt that there were some problems with her.
Seeing that their son was determined to marry her, Kate changed her tough attitude towards Edith and spoke softly, “I’ve heard about Ms. Miller. If you like her, I won’t stop you. But son, she only graduated from high school, has been married before, and runs an entertainment venue. Marrying her might invite ridicule.” “Who would dare to ridicule me?”
Paul’s face darkened, and his eyes, like a thundercloud, stared at Kate, “Are you judging her based on these one-sided things?”
Kate remained calm and smiled, “I haven’t had much contact with her, so I can only judge her based on these one-sided pieces of information.”
Paul’s face turned cold, “It’s true that she only graduated from high school, has been married before, and runs a nightclub. But so what? I love her, whether she’s a rich lady, a commoner, or a beggar on the street, if I say I want to marry her, then I will!”
Kate tightened her hand under the table, “Paul, she has already been divorced once. How is she worthy of you?”
Paul didn’t mind at all, “Whether she’s been divorced or not, what does it have to do with me wanting to marry her?”
Paul was much more determined than Edith. Kate, who felt her heart tightening, no longer insisted and only asked, “You absolutely have to marry her?”
Without any hesitation, Paul nodded, “Once I propose, I’ll take you to meet her.”
He really just came to inform them. After saying that, he wanted to get up and leave, but Eric stopped him, “Paul, look at how arrogant you are. Do you have any respect for us?”
Paul frowned and turned around. “If you didn’t treat Edith like that, maybe I could sit down calmly and have a good meal with you. But think about what you did to your own daughter back then?”
He still felt unjust for Edith. Anthony loved Edith so much, but because of his parents, they were separated. If it weren’t for wanting to give Eva a decent wedding, he would never want to come back to this family again…
Eric slammed the table in anger. “Edith’s matter is in the past. Why are you still holding onto it and now trying to lecture us? Do you think you’ve grown up and don’t need to respect your parents anymore?” Paul couldn’t be bothered to argue with Eric. “Say whatever you want. I’ve said what I needed to say. You figure it out yourselves…”
If they really disagreed, they could just bypass them and have Andrew be the witness. It wouldn’t make much of a difference anyway. After all, the Evans Family wasn’t their parents’ domain…
“And also, don’t go looking for Eva privately like before. If I find out you’re seeing her, don’t blame me for tearing this family apart!”
Paul left these words behind without even looking at the couple, picked up his coat, threw it over his shoulder, and walked away…
Seeing his careless figure, Eric’s face turned red with anger. “Look at the fine son you’ve raised. He doesn’t even respect me…”
Kate was furious and threw down the fork in her hand. “Butler, find Ms. Miller’s phone number.”
Kate wanted to see what Paul would do to break up this family after she secretly met with Ms. Miller!
The butler replied with a “yes” and went off to do his work. He quickly found Eva’s phone number and handed the phone to Kate with both hands.
As she took the phone and was about to make the call, Eric stopped her with his hand. “Although that arrogant boy is disrespectful and disregards authority, let’s not allow him to become the next Edith.” They had already hurt one child’s heart, they couldn’t hurt the heart of another child. Otherwise, when they grow old, forget having a house full of children and grandchildren, they might not even have a grandchild.
But Kate ignored him and pushed Eric’s hand away. “This Ms. Miller, she’s not even like Anthony. Do you think I would just sit back and watch Paul marry someone like her?”
Their family had a certain status, not just anyone could marry into it.
Of course, Andrew’ wife didn’t have any background or status either, but at least she had some education and was a top-level architect.
Plus, Andrew was the one in control of the family. He could do as he pleases.
But Paul was different. His parents were still alive. How could they watch him marry someone randomly?
Eric frowned. “Actually, our son isn’t that great either. He’s been fooling around outside these years, appearing in countless tabloids. Even proper high-class ladies don’t want him. If there’s someone he wants to marry, let him marry.”
Kate’s face turned black upon hearing this. “My son may not be great, but how can she, a divorced woman, have the audacity to marry into our family?”
Eric fell silent. This point was indeed hard to argue…
Seeing Eric had nothing else to say, Kate disregarded everything and dialed Eva’s phone number-
Eva, who was about to release Paul from the blacklist, instinctively answered the unfamiliar phone call. “Ms. Miller, hello. I am Paul’s mother. Would you like to go out for a cup of coffee?”
Eva’s hand holding the phone tightened suddenly. Paul had just mentioned informing his parents, and now his mother was calling. She was fast, but…
Eva could guess the purpose of this call from Paul’s mother, and she didn’t really want to go. However, since it concerned their marriage, it was normal for his parents to be cautious. After hesitating for a while, Eva finally agreed with a “yes.” Kate immediately sent her the address and asked her to meet there.
Eva chose a conservative outfit, put on light makeup, and got into her car.
