Eve grew up abroad. On account of her mother, she didn’t like her father’s family. Although her mother had never truly uttered a bad word about them, she had been accumulating deep resentment and contempt towards her so-called father as she grew up. When Eve was sixteen years old, a sophomore in high school, she had her first experiencing of sex in the back of a teal sedan. It had all been with some boy she had met only a week ago at a party, and Eve hadn’t cared much for him. She had just wanted to lose her virginity. He was cute and completely inexperienced.She was always passionate, bold, and unrestrained. But she was terrible at school– she just didn’t test well. As a result, she tanked her SATs and ended up at a community college studying botany. It wasn’t the most popular major, but Eve managed to get by.

Meanwhile, Eve wondered if Damon was giving her dirty looks for having managed to win a lot of money at the table. She was worried that he was infuriated and might get violent with her. Because of that, Eve was lost in thought, and when the elevator suddenly stopped, she fell down on her knees.“Ouch, my knees!” she cried out in pain. Eve was angry because she expected that any gentleman would have given her a hand in such a situation. Her knees were hurt, and the elevator was still going up, after all.She frowned angrily and looked up at him and frowned, “Sir, do you know how impolite you are? A girl just fell down right in front of you, and you did not even bother to give her a hand.”Within the next second, Damon reached his hand out to

When she left Damon’s house the following day, no one stopped her. She strode out of the house and stopped a taxi from going home.When she arrived home, she found that her mother was out on a date and had not returned home. She went into her bedroom and changed into something more comfortable. After that, she put on her earphones and headed for the kitchen while swaying her head to the music.In the following months, nothing much happened, and Damon didn’t show up at her house or try to get in touch with her. She didn’t go on any dates either. She mostly kept to herself those days.After a pause, one morning, Eve caught up with her mother for breakfast. With a magnificent spread of imported meats, cheeses, and bread in front of the table, Eve’s mother talked excitedly about her new boyfriend

At this moment, Carlos took Shannon by the hand and walked in slowly, and said, “Brittany, mommy is tired. Please go play by yourself.”But Brittany just ignored him and took Scarlett to jump on the balcony. She was excited about the big blue swimming pool in front of them and said, “Mommy, I want to swim. Mommy, please go swimming with me.”The setting sun shone on the swimming pool; it was very quiet.“My sweetheart, could you ask daddy to go swimming with you a while later?” Scarlett said as she touched her head.Though Brittany was unhappy about this, she was not a stubborn kid; after that, she turned around to go look for Francis. Carlos was a little worried about her, so he instantly followed her.

There was a minute of silence over the phone– Francis and Scarlett said nothing to one another. Scarlett pouted and asked, “Wait a minute… are you laughing at me? You’re making fun of me, aren’t you?”“No, I’m the same as you. I feel nervous,” he said in a low voice.“What?” Scarlett asked curiously.Francis was standing in front of the window of his study room with his hands in his pocket, looking out at the vast, blue sea outside.He took a deep breath and smiled, “I said, I’m much more nervous than you are. I’m sure of it. You have no idea how nervous I’m feeling right now.”Scarlett laughed gleefully. Hearing that Francis was
