Chapter 1132 Comparison
"It's just sometimes it feels strange..." Eve lowered her gaze, finally learning to hide her emotions in front of her sister. She said calmly, "It seems like you care more about my relationship with Lauren than me."
"Eve, you're really overthinking things!" Nia argued seriously, not realizing how insincere she sounded. She continued, "I'm just worried that you're too naive and won't be able to capture a man's heart. Sometimes I may have mentioned it too much, but if you have these thoughts, it would really hurt me."
"I understand. I won't think like that anymore." A faint smile appeared on Eve's lips.
"Well..." Seeing that Eve was listening to her words again, Nia cautiously stared at her eyes and asked, "Are you still going to USA?"
"I'm still considering it." Eve gave an ambiguous answer.
"You still need to consider?" Nia raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah... Lauren is also very insistent." Eve smiled and said.
"Okay," mentioning Lauren made Nia helpless as well. However, she didn't forget to remind Eve, "But remember what I said, okay?" "Okay." Eve obediently nodded.
In the afternoon after sending off Nia, with a low mood, Eve knocked on Lauren's door.
"How did it go?" As soon as he opened the door and saw Eve hanging her head lowly downcasted, Lauren immediately asked her anxiously.
"She wouldn't let me go, saying there are risks involved in treatment..." Eve took a dejected step forward and leaned back against Lauren's chest whispering softly, "I feel so tired."
Lauren hugged Eve tenderly feeling sorry for her, whispering softly, "If she knows that you're leaving, I'm afraid there would be even bigger trouble."
"One last time... one last time..."Eve muttered under her breath gloomily.
Lauren sighed helplessly; there was nothing else he could do.
With only two days left before their departure, Lucia and Arthur held a farewell banquet for them at Arthur's house. For Eve, the first time they came here was for Nia, then second time was for herself. This time around, however, she enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere without any anxiety or stress.
While Lucia and Eduard were bickering back-and-forth, Eve walked up specifically towards Arthur who was picking out tonight's red wine,
"Mr. Davies, I did what you told me to do."
"Hmm.." Arthur continued picking out red wine carefully without giving much thought into his response. He didn't want to ask about the results specifically either.
"I heard from Lauren that you have three brothers, and if..." Since her private conversation with Arthur that night, Eve had developed a feeling of him being a soul mentor to her. There were some things she didn't dare bring up with Lauren but felt comfortable discussing in front of Arthur.
"My upbringing's good, so there won't be any such situations," Arthur looked at Eve and interrupted her before she could finish speaking. "Even if there's, as a brother, I would do my best to steer them back on track. They can't just do whatever they want."
"You're right," Eve nodded and smiled.
"What are you guys talking about?" Lucia had unsurprisingly beaten Eduard in their game and saw Eve talking to Arthur. She came over because she was afraid he might make her cry again.
"Mr. Davies is teaching me how to deal with twisted family relationships," Eve sweetly replied.
Arthur gave Eve a sideways glance. Twisted family relationships? It was amazing what she came up with.
"He can teach you that?" Lucia teased while staring at Arthur.
"Mr. Davies is very wise," Eve's tone became somewhat admiring; without him, maybe she wouldn't have been able to make the decision herself.
Lucia laughed and winked at Arthur several times; it seemed like stars were about to burst out of them any moment now.
Arthur nonchalantly curled his lips into a smile before turning around and leaving the bar area to chat with other men while holding drinks in his hand.
Eve saw all the interaction between Lucia and Arthur; one word came into mind: envy.
Lucia continued laughing happily as she said, "You're not used to being intimate with Lauren yet?"NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Eve blushed slightly then nodded since even now she still got shy when they were too close together sometimes...
"It shows how much he cherishes you." Lucia didn't think Lauren was a gentleman who could hold back when his lover was in his arms unless he loved deeply enough. So, she wanted to give some advice by leaning towards Eve's earlobe, "But after... you know... it will be different then. You won't feel shy anymore."
After saying this sentence, Lucia went back into the living room, leaving behind an astonished-looking-Eve who took quite some time before realizing what Lucia meant by "after". That made her face turn red uncontrollably...
The party at Arthur's house lasted until almost dawn before everyone wished each other well then left for home separately.
Everyone hoped Eve to receive treatment and regain normal health as soon as possible, which contrasted sharply with Eve's sister. This only confirmed Eve's decision even more.
After returning to the hotel, Eve sent a message to her sister telling her that she had decided to go to USA for treatment and would leave in two days. To her surprise, her sister appeared at her door just over an hour later, still slightly out of breath.
"What are you doing here this hour?" Eve asked innocently.
"Why do you think?" Nia shouted angrily before even entering the room. "Do you just ignore everything I say? Why do you still want to go to USA?"
"This is Lauren's decision, and I agree with it," Eve replied calmly like she had suddenly grown up and was no longer confused by her sister's anger.
"Do you always do what he says?" Nia scolded harshly. "What if something happens? Will he take responsibility?"
"I will," a deep voice came from beside them. It was Lauren who had come out after hearing Nia shouting.
Nia froze for a moment before finally losing words. Lauren gave her a cold glance before walking slowly towards Eve and standing next to her, looking down at Nia from above,
"If I'm not sure about something, I won't let Eve take risks easily. So don't worry."
"But what if something goes wrong?" Nia tried one last time.
"There won't be anything wrong," Lauren answered without hesitation.
Nia bit her lip and quickly thought about how she should respond in this situation.
