Chapter 144: Drunk
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Edwin received the news from his subordinate and opened his email. There was an email that Joseph had sent him an hour ago.
He didn’t even need to think to know what Joseph would say. He would say that he would take all the blame and would play the emotional card, begging the Anderson family to let the Smith family off and not kill them.
Instead of opening the email, Edwin deleted it. “Report this to the Old Madam. Tell her that since Joseph has taken on all the responsibility, she’ll be in charge of the Smith family.”
After all, it was Joline’s family, so Edwin couldn’t do too much. However, he believed that with Joline’s style, she wouldn’t let things go easily. At the very least, she wouldn’t let Robert off easily.
After Edwin settled the matter, he returned to his room.
Today was his and Caroline’s engagement party. After the party ended, the two of them stayed overnight at Anderson Manor.
At the dinner party, because Caroline wasn’t there to watch over her, Eva actually mistook the champagne for sweet fruit juice and drank more than half the bottle. By the time Danika realized it, she was already holding a bottle of wine and hiding under the table, playing around.
Danika was worried to death, but Eva was too strong, and she couldn’t do anytmng to ner. In tne end, sne could only coax ner Into Drrngmg ner to Caroline. Eva then crawled out from under the table and followed her to the guest room.
After Caroline was not in the guest room, Eva kicked up a fuss again. Danika, who was already in her forties, could not stand her. Fortunately, the banquet was coming to an end, so Danika had to call Caroline over.
As soon as Eva saw her, she threw herself into her arms and cried, “Ling, where did you go? I’ve been looking for you for a long time, but I couldn’t find you. I’ll be good, don’t leave me.”
The last time something happened to her and she suddenly lost contact with her, this incident had scared Eva out of her wits. Hearing Eva’s drunkard words, Caroline felt a little uncomfortable.
“I won’t abandon you,” she said, patting Eva’s shoulder. “See? I’ve found you.” In the end, Caroline spent a long time to coax her to sleep.
“It’s not easy raising a child.” Caroline wiped the sweat from her forehead and heaved a sigh of relief.
Danika sat on the side, feeling a little tired. When she heard her sigh, she shook her head and laughed. “That’s not it.”
When it came to raising a child, there was no rest at all. Eva, who only made a little fuss occasionally, was already considered easy to take care of.
Then, she thought that for a big family like the Anderson family, even if Caroline had a child in the future, there would be many people to help raise the child. She would not have to worry about such things.
Thinking of this, Danika quickly drove her away. “I’ll stay in this room tonight and take care of Eva. You can go back first.”
Caroline was a little worried. “With Eva’s strength, you won’t be able to control her if she causes a ruckus. Let me guard her tonight.”
After all, they were in Anderson’s house now. If Eva were to get drunk and go crazy later, with her destructive power, she could tear down the house in a minute. It would be too rude then.
Danika let out an “Oh,” and said, “My good lady, have you forgotten what day it is today? How can you stay here?”
Caroline was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She was engaged today, so logically speaking, she should be by her fiancé’s side tonight. However, her relationship with Edwin was a little complicated, and it wasn’t time for them to completely talk. Under such circumstances, Caroline didn’t think that Edwin would do anything to her.
But she couldn’t explain these things to Danika. In the end, she couldn’t find a good excuse and could only be pushed out of the room by Danika.
Caroline had no choice but to return to the room that Joline had prepared for them.
Edwin’s eyes lit up when he saw her return. He thought that she wouldn’t be coming back tonight.
“How’s Eva?” Edwin took her hand and led her to the sofa. He then brought her a pair of indoor slippers for her to change into.
Even Caroline felt a little uncomfortable after standing for so many hours in Il-centimeter high heels. Therefore, as soon as she sank into the soft sofa, fatigue immediately overwhelmed her, making her not want to move anymore..
