Eva ignored his obvious stare, she picked up her phone, placed it into her purse and then walked towards the door.She was quite surprised that Damien was letting her leave the hospital without stopping her. She couldn't help but glance back at him, noticing that he was trailing behind her instead of stopping her. Meanwhile, Damien didn't bother wasting his time forcing her to stay in the hospital. He knew they would just continue to argue back and forth endlessly until one of them had their way.“Why are you walking so fast?" Damien asked, seeing her hasten her pace the moment she looked over her shoulder and saw that he was following her down the hallway.“Obviously, to get away from you." She bluntly replied without looking back.A smile creeped up on Damien's face. This was the first time a woman ever told him that. People would always want to engage him anytime he attended any social gathering and banquet. Everyone was eager to be around him. They were either drawn by his looks,
“There is no need for that." Damien curtly answered.Eva opened her mouth to say something to refute Damien's words but decided against it. She would just let this one go like that because eventually she was not going to win this argument if they continued to prolong this issue. She decided to be indebted to him just this once but also planned to make sure that she repay him back.“Fine, I won't argue with you anymore on that. Please have a safe ride back, Mr. Cross." Eva bowed her head at Damien and was about to remove the jacket Damien had given to her when she was suddenly stopped by Damien.“What are you trying to do?" Damien asked, his voice completely cold and serious with a dark frown on his face as he stared at Eva. Was this woman crazy? Why would she want to remove the jacket out in public?Eva tilted her head when she heard Damien's question and the dark expression on his face. What did she do wrong? “I'm trying to return the jacket you have borrowed me?" She innocently repl
Normally, Damien would have been annoyed or angered by her daring behavior, but for some odd reasons, he wasn't. He found himself more amused by everything she does. She always did the unexpected and went against his wishes which he had never seen anyone done before. Unlike most people that would easily cater to his every word and whim, she argued against it. Most men would find it hard and tiring to spend time with a fiesty woman, but Damien on the other hand actually enjoyed it.He didn't like submissive, reticent and unassertive women like Christine. She always had to act weak and coy to earn sympathy from people which was the opposite of Eva's personality. Women like Christine would readily agree with a man and never fight back. Damien was constantly surrounded by people like that and having a woman that refuses to think for herself but only to satisfy their man and follow his every word would surely be boring and tiring. When he got no response from Eva, Damien turned his head
Damien was about to place Eva's phone into her purse when a thought came to his head. He tried to unlock her phone and realize that there was a password. He wondered if Eva would be stupid enough to use her fingerprint as her password and just like he thought, she was. However, just in time after he was able to unlock her phone using her index finger, her phone rang again but this time the caller ID name was someone he was quite familiar with. The caller was none other than George calling, making Damien narrow his eyes at whether he should pick the call or not. How would the fierce and grumpy old man react when a man picked his granddaughter's phone? Damien contemplated while the phone kept ringing, but he ended up picking the call for her.“Evangeline, where are you right now? I just asked Julian to put a call through the front desk of the hospital you were admitted to and was told that you're discharged. Why didn't you stay longer? Is this how you're reassuring me that you're okay
Her walls were visibly cracked and barely holding itself together. If she suffered another traumatic incident as what happened to her nine months ago which she was still undergoing recovery from. George was sure that he would completely lose his only granddaughter who wouldn't be able to recover again. Her loss was the one that forced her to enter almost a year of self seclusion and rehab without any means of contacting her.“Damien Cross, let me in on something, my granddaughter is very precious to me." After a very long silence, George finally spoke up. He felt his heart tightened when he thought back to the image that Julian had gathered during his research on Eva. It was the image of the lifeless Eva on the ground in her wedding dress, whose eyes were so blank and devoured of any emotion. It terrified him because he had never thought that his granddaughter would have this kind of expression on her face.Damien's expression remained blank like a sheet of paper even though he felt
Instantly, Eva stood up from the sofa and ran back to her room to pick up her phone . Just as she was scrolling through her phone contact to look for Nathalia's contact, she froze and nearly dropped her phone again to the ground. Right above her contact list before she could get to Nathalia's number she came across the name Damien Cross among her contacts. She knew she didn't add him on her phone, she knew she didn't have his contact as well. So how on earth did his number get into her phone contact list? She was here to sort out one issue, but now she was coming across another problem. Not only was her house invaded but her phone as well.Swallowing her hesitation, Eva decided it was smarter and better to call the man himself. It rang a few times without anyone answering, but Eva kept calling after the call disconnected. It was only until the third calling did he finally pick up.“You! How did you know my house password? How were you able to unlock my phone as well?" Eva discarded e
“What? A grandfather can't decide to talk to his granddaughter without a reason?" Instead of replying to Eva's question, George asked back.“I didn't say that, but your case is different. You don't call me on a normal good day unless you have something to say and that is to nag me on one thing or the other which could eventually lead to us arguing again.” Eva calmly replied. “So, if you know that you're calling me for just another annoying conversation, I'd advise you to hang up the call.” She added harshly, not wanting to engage in a conversation that could cause another argument in the friendly relationship that they are beginning to develop." You cold-hearted brat! Has our good relationship ended that quickly to make you use such a harsh tone on me?! Well, since you've asked nicely, then I will tell you why I'm calling because it's very important for you.” George replied, his voice changing into a serious tone." What is it? “ Eva asked, thinking that the matter her grandfather wa
A loud crash sound was heard in the entire study room. Rapheal turned to look at the items his father had thrown at him after regaining himself and saw that it was a pen case that was made out with the best marbles that was thrown at him. If that hard pen case had hit him, he would surely have had his forehead open with injury but thankfully he was quick enough to avoid the impact.Eva, who had been silently listening to the bickering between her grandfather and uncle and didn't say anything at first since she didn't want to interrupt their argument and she was secretly enjoying the argument between them . But when she heard the loud crash sound in the background she couldn't help but sigh to herself, they had started again. This is the way she remembered both her grandfather and uncle when she still lived with them. Her uncle knows how to get on his father's nerves without much effort and her grandfather would quickly get agitated and the next thing the sound of crashing items would
