THE STOLEN BRIDE (BAD BOYS SERIES) のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 71 - チャプター 80

“I never expected to meet you here.” Eve took a sip of the ice tea Faye ordered for here and eyed her observingly. Unlike before, Faye looked rather humble which was the opposite of what she was years ago. When Eve and her was still in the same class, she was always arrogant and mean. Especially towards her. Still, the competitiveness in her eyes was still there. Faye was never a bad girl to begin with. She was kind to others. Perhaps, its her desire to be better than Eve in ballet that made her become mean towards her. “Yeah, me too.” Faye replied shortly, somewhat embarrassed. “If you don’t mind, can I ask you something?” Faye met Eve’s eyes intently and a smile curled in her lips. “You wanted to ask what happened to me after you give up the opportunity to be an international ballet dancer to me?” Eve paused. “I didn’t give it up to you-” Faye laughed softly but there was no hint of anger in her tone. “I know you purposely jumped in the wrong

      “You know what, you’re really confusing.” Eve stared at Shia who was swinging her legs at the side of the chair. She had her feet hanging on one side while leaning back on the other. Unlike her, she wasn’t that much drunk.     Shia continued, “you already let him kissed you. And you kissed him too! You even thought of offering your body to him. But why can’t you let him marry you?! I know you still love him, Eve! Why?!”     She was really so drunk. So drunk that she cannot stop blurting just anything. It had been a week already since she last saw Lucas. She thought she might see him. But he never appeared before her anymore.     She missed him. Missed him harder than those five years before.     “Right. Why can’t I?” she asked herself too, standing up with a bottle of beer in

CHAPTER 76     “You really said that, Theo?!”     “Hmm!” Theo nodded innocently, admitting his own crime without guilt. Which only led to Shia laughing frantically that she laughed so hard. She was clutching her stomach.     “Yes! He did. That little boy did!” Eve snapped with a pout, staring at her son with jokingly angry eyes.     This made the poor boy confused that he looked at his mother, then to his laughing Aunt Shia.     When Shia calmed down a bit to speak, she held Theo’s arm and gently tugged it. “Theo. Didn’t you know? You just put your mommy in great danger!”     “Huh? Mommy?” worried, Theo looked at his mother and when he saw her frowning, tears started to fall from his eyes. He was crying silently, like he always does and went near

CHAPTER 78 It’s Friday. And Eve was more nervous than Theo. she didn’t even slept well last night that it was so obvious by how there were visible dark lines under her eyes. “Mommy. Are you trying to look like panda?” Theo asked early in the morning. He was even surprised that his mom woke up earlier than him. In usual times, it’s him who always woke her up. Like an alarm clock. He cupped both her cheeks and frowned. “I know pandas look cute. But mommy is not a panda.” Giggling although she wasn’t in the mood to laugh, she pinches Theo’s little nose. “Are you saying that mommy is not cute anymore?” “Nah! I think mommy is the best!” “You know what, you two should just prepare instead. You’ll be late if you still keep on.” Rolling her eyes, Shia pulled Theo and led him to his seat in the dining. He had a separate chair which is taller than the rest since he cannot reach the table with his small stature. It was customized by his grandfather which surpri

“It’s really a pleasure to have you here, Mr. Heirta.”Usually, Lucas was not a fan of small talks. Especially when he was aware that those people only wanted to be close to him in hopes of getting to his good side for their own benefit.Yet, to Eve’s surprise, she was here, watching Lucas as he exchanges useless words with the school’s dean who even came here after his presence was informed.“As well as mine. And I think, I’ll even came here more in the future.”His words made the dean’s eyes twinkle.“That’s our honor, sir! Actually, we’re surprised that our student here, Theodore Rizzo, is your son. It’s just that he’s not carrying your last name so…”The old dean’s eyes fell on Theo who was in Lucas’s arms and was sleeping. The activities today might have drained him that he fell asleep the moment Lucas carried him.“Well, we’re not far from that,” Lucas answered, throwing a meaningful glance at Eve.Eve wanted to roll eyes at him. He kept having his ways today. And if it’s n
