"Miss, please allow me to introduce this house’s butler. This is Mr. Lee, you can ask him whatever you need." Shane introduced the old man to Eva.So he’s a butler? Eva wasn’t sure how to react so she bowed at him as a sign of respect to the elder when the two men’s eyes suddenly widened. If it was the past Evangeline, she wouldn't have bothered to show this level of respect, but given the fact that she had changed and the old man was an elderly man almost around the same age as her grandfather, she couldn't help but bow."No, no. Please don’t do that Miss. The precious wife of our young master shouldn’t bow to a mere butler like me." The old man looks so apologetic while Eva doesn’t know whether she was supposed to laugh or cry."By the way Miss, the young master, I mean, your husband will be arriving back to the country in a week." Shane told her then he asked the butler to tour her around the mansion. He handed Eva's suitcase to one of the maids before getting into the car and dro
“A little bit of brightness should brighten up this dark room.” Eva muttered as she drew the thick curtains open. And just as she predicted, the thick curtain was blocking the brightness from entering the room. Although the sun was already setting and it was getting to evening time, but she was still thankful that the little brightness alightend the room.After a few minutes of shamelessly checking out everything in the big room, Eva finally landed herself in the walk-in closet which was packed and filled with men's suits, pants, ties, shoes and wrist watches. “As expected of a tycoon." Eva smirked, she could easily guess each and every piece of clothing and accessories in the walk-in closet were worth a fortune. “That must be where the maids placed my suitcase." She sighted her suitcase in a corner and walked towards it. After she was fine exploring the room, Eva decided to take another shower to wash off the sweats from her body. A few moments later, she was done in the bathroom
“Gosh! I'm full!" Eva exclaimed as she landed heavily on the big soft bed. "Today has really been a long day.” She mumbled under her breath. If there was one thing that she was happy about Damien’s absence today that would be the fact that he wasn't around for them to spend the wedding night together. The thought of herself and Damien trying to do whatever a married couple would do on the wedding night made her blush hard as her mind wandered off to the night they shared together, nine months ago. ‘Don’t forget Eva, it's a marriage contract.’ she heard the little devil whisper in her ear while sitting comfortably on her shoulder.“It's disappointing that he didn't show up at the Civil Affairs Office today, and it's also a good thing that he isn't around because I have no excuse to make up if he wants to touch me. After all, we are now married, according to the paper." Eva remarked, slapping her cheeks to snap out of her thoughts.‘ I'm truly happy and glad that this wedding didn't t
Damien paused for a few minutes when he heard the question. That's right, the reason why he had approached Eva and offered her this marriage contract in the first place was not only because he wanted her to borrow his power and status to get revenge on Mark. The real reason was because he needed an heir due to his grandfather who kept pressuring him to get married and have his own child. He had been ignoring his grandfather's antics about getting married since he wasn't interested in any woman. But after that one night stand he had with Eva, his interest in her increased and each and every time they encountered each other, she always did something that kept wanting him to be close to her. His curiosity about her was what made him offer her the contract at the restaurant, since she was also the first woman he would ever sleep with. However, he hadn't thought much about what to do if Ev1a completed her own side of the contract and gave birth to an heir for him. All he knew was that he
***********Just like that after having breakfast, Eva was escorted back to the bedroom. When the maid bowed and was leaving, Eva suddenly stopped her.“You, what is your name? I can't keep calling you ‘you’ when you have a name and I forgot to ask you yesterday as well." The maid blinked her eyes. She didn't expect that Eva would want to know the name of an insignificant maid like her. ‘I thought she was from a rich household? Is she supposed to ask my name?’ The maid was confused but still decided to reply anyway.“Tasha. You can call me Tasha, Madam." The maid replied.“Okay, thank you for escorting me around, Tasha." Eva smiled at her, making Tasha go into a daze at Eva's smile. Who would have thought that her Madam had such a beautiful smile and she would smile at a maid like her?Eva raised a brow when she saw how Tasha was dazed. “Tasha, are you alright?" She asked, snapping her finger in front of her eyes to bring her back.“Ah, yes, Madam. I'm sorry, I was dazed for a moment
“What is it?" Eva asked with a seriousness like she was about to strike a business deal.“I can't have our Madam doing all that hard work alone, so I will have a few maids assist you, if that is okay with you.” The head chef revealed."Sure, I can live with that." Eva nodded her head and the head chef quickly called three maids over to assist Eva while they cleared a space for her.A few minutes later, Eva was done preparing the cake. “Madam, we can handle the rest from here, we will let you once the cake is ready." One of the maid assisting Eva told her after she placed the cake in the oven.“Alright, thank you for assisting me." Eva didn't bother to argue with the maid, she nodded her head and asked one of the maids to lead her to the living room, since she didn't want to go back to the bedroom. She was really starting to consider taking the tour Tasha had offered her but she couldn't find Tasha anywhere.Eva sat down on the couch and turned on the TV. She scrolled through the chan
“And what made you eat cake all of a sudden?” She added, her voice still serious.Eva raised her brow when she saw how her playful friend turned serious. "I'm at home and this is a celebration cake.” She casually replied, ignoring the boring gaze from Nathalia."Don't fool me, young lady. This is your home, I can tell just by looking at the background behind you? Tell me exactly where you are right now? And besides, what are you celebrating all of a sudden?” Not buying the reply Eva gave her, Nathalia asked her further.“Which one do you want me to answer first? Is it telling you where I am or the reason for my celebration cake?” She asked, instead of answering Nathalia's question. Eva was purposely trying to prolong this because she knew if Nathalia knew where she was, her reaction would be fun and she was preparing to witness her expression.“Anyone, but answer both questions." “Of course, I would. First of all, this is a celebration cake, that I got married without any drama. And
“Wait!" Nathalia yelled. “What are you talking about? Who and where did you hear such things that Damien Cross and I were dating?" Just at the mention of it, Nathalia felt like puking all the food she had eaten out. ‘Just who would date that devil!’ “I overheard one of the maids working here?" Eva casually replied. Of course, she didn't hear anything from anywhere. In fact this was a self made lie that she was telling Nathalia. She wanted Nathalia to be the one to tell her what her relationship with Damien was but knowing how stubborn Nathalia was, she wouldn't tell her the truth if she asked directly." Just which maid would say something like that? Have they lost their god-damned minds and can't realize that I'm Damien's cousin. Why would I date that devil who calls himself my older cousin. Are they all tired of working? I need to call Mr. Lee-” Nathalia stopped talking mid-sentence when she saw Eva who was frowning before now smiling at her. Her eyes widened when she realized that
