"Maybe he caught a cold, it was from cupping therapy! Yes, that’s right, the marks are from the cupping!"
Eva Nightingale said with flushed cheeks.
Sigh, if she admitted it, and last night’s incident was discovered, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?
Besides, Aunt Fang is an elder. Although her thoughts are quite progressive, Eva never feels comfortable ’talking’ about such things with her. She doesn’t know why, but discussing those kinds of things with an elder makes Eva feel very awkward!
"Alright, alright." Aunt Fang smiled, "If Miss says it’s not, then it’s not."
Even though she said so.
But in her heart, Aunt Fang already knew, mostly likely Miss Eva was just embarrassed!
After chatting with Aunt Fang for a bit, she finally hung up the phone.
Eva furrowed her brows, recalling what Aunt Fang had just mentioned. Could it be that Harry North really has feelings for Uncle?
Otherwise, why would he... why would he make something for Uncle to eat!
However, Eva wasn’t too bothered. Uncle has been single for so long, it’s not a bad thing to have someone caring for him.
Instead, she was worried about Lucas Knight!
What’s with his tantrum!
Why wouldn’t he eat, or even drink water!
Still uneasy, she found Lucas Knight’s phone number and called him again.
The call was quickly answered.
But the receiver was silent, he didn’t speak first, it was Eva who spoke up.
"Honey, you’re being naughty, why aren’t you eating? Skipping breakfast is one thing, but you have to eat lunch, you can’t starve yourself!"
Thinking about last night, he was so intensely busy.
He should’ve slept in for a while.
Who knew, acting as if nothing happened, he got up and went to the study, without eating anything.
Last night, busy all night, wasn’t he tired or hungry?
Still, there was no voice in the call.
Eva was puzzled: "Honey, can you hear me?"
"Yes." The man’s voice finally acknowledged, sparing words, he replied with just one word.
His deep and hoarse voice, magnetic like a cello, even with just one word, it was clear he seemed displeased.
Eva’s heart skipped a beat.
Then, she only heard the man’s cold tone, saying, "I’m still busy, I’ll hang up now."
Eva had just heard this when the call was forcibly cut off!
She guessed, he must be super busy, right? So! Yeah, she’s not angry!
Although he was harsh to her last night, the fear still lingered, but she didn’t think too much about it.
She thought he would just become calm and things would be fine!
The Yansford Group’s cocktail party.
Glasses clinking, the air filled with fragrance and elegance.
Eva Nightingale walked arm in arm with Sebastian Yansford, as they stepped onto the red carpet, entering the banquet hall.
Eva’s gown was of a backless design, and to prevent those kiss marks on her back from being seen, she let her wavy hair down.
The long, light brown hair casually draped over her shoulders made her look even more charming and enchanting.
"Olivia!" Sebastian Yansford called out.
Actually, for tonight’s party, he was planning to restore her identity as Miss Nightingale!
Of course, with the Yansford Group backing her up, she’d naturally have fewer unnecessary troubles, and there’s no need for her to feel inferior since these things were rightfully hers.
It wasn’t to restore her position within the Nightingale Family.
Sebastian Yansford planned to announce publicly that she was still that Miss, although with the last name Nightingale, she was the Yansford Family’s Miss!
