Eva glanced at the time on her cellphone before she stood up from the bed and stretched her body. After stretching her body a little bit, she started arranging the bed and pillow since she had enough time left to do that before she left. She grabbed her towel after she was done and made her way to the bathroom to take her bath. A few moments later, Eva walked out of the bathroom dressed in her bathrobe and strolled to her large wardrobe and opened it. Her eyes scanned through the clothes she had in there and a small scowl appeared on her face. Despite having a full wardrobe filled with clothes, Eva felt none of the dresses was suitable for her to wear.“How come none of the dresses here are suitable to wear? Should I have gone shopping for clothes yesterday?” Eva mumbled under her breath as she traced a few dresses with her hand.“Don’t be ridiculous Evangeline. It’s not a big deal. There is nothing to be worried about, there are enough clothes for you to wear.” she chastised herself
She couldn't help but wonder if she was making the right choice at this moment. A part of her was still terrified about the thought of getting married. Anytime she thought about what happened to her nine months ago on her wedding day it scared her and that was one of the reasons why she had tried to Damien desperately after he made the offer of marriage to her but he was unavoidable.‘Eva, take it easy. This isn't a real wedding, it's just a contract marriage about two people getting married for their benefits. It's not going to be like the last one because there is no ceremony, you just have to go to the Civil Affairs Office and get the marriage certificate.’ Eva thought to herself. ‘Don’t be delusional, marriage is marriage. How are you so sure of yourself that Damien wouldn't disappoint you just like Mark did.’ she had the voice of the little devil in her head. “Young Miss, we are here." Eva snapped out of her thoughts when she heard the voice of the driver. She looked outside th
‘Don’t be disappointed Eva, if you take a proper look at this situation this is just a marriage of convenience.’ Eva thought to herself.After asking that question, she remained silent and didn't utter anything other than just staring out of the window. Shane peeked at the silent Eva through the rearview mirror and saw how gloomy her expression was. For some reason he felt pity and guilt for Eva. “Are you okay, Mrs. Cross?" He suddenly asked. Eva turned to look at him with a raised brow, she was surprised and not used to the name he addressed her with. For a second she actually forgot that she was married and her name would automatically change from Carter to Cross. “I am. And please just address me the way you used to. I'm not used to that title yet." Eva quietly replied, turning back to stare out of the window. “I'm sorry, Miss Eva." Shane apologized in a guilty tone, making Eva turn to look at him again and this time she had a small scowl on her face." Why are you suddenly ap
"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
