One second, two seconds, three seconds.
He withdrew his gaze and went upstairs.
Eva set down her wine glass, dragged her dress, and followed him up. For some reason, even though her father had a car accident, she felt uneasy... very uneasy.
After all, he was her dad.
How could she really ignore it?
She needed to go back.
The man stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at her.
"Honey, I want to go back first!" She felt uneasy inside; she wanted to go to the Nightingale Family, "I heard something happened at home, and I want to check it out."
Because she wasn’t sure if there really was a car accident.
So she didn’t say it directly!
"Is that still your home?"
His tone was indifferent, somehow different from usual, almost as if something had changed.
Didn’t the Nightingale Family hurt her enough?
Thinking back to before, it made his blood boil! The fire burned stronger!
He forbade her to go back! He forbade her from contacting anyone in the Nightingale Family, and also forbade her from contacting her ex-fiancé, Benjamin!
He grabbed her wrist and pulled her forcefully into his arms: "Woman, I’m giving you one chance, you must obediently stay by my side, you can’t go anywhere!"
He was accustomed to seeing her obedient side.
He liked her dazed look.
From the beginning until now, it was always rumors from her side, different kinds of men!
Even those like Barrett Scott, Douglas Grant... Sebastian Yansford were all thinking about her!
They would always glance at her frequently.
If that’s the case...
Maybe he should take action!
Make her lose her memory, only remember him.
Afterwards, she wouldn’t associate with all those messy people! Besides, the Nightingale Family really wasn’t her home...
Amos wasn’t really her father.
Amos never loved her since childhood, even hit her, kicked her out of the house... and that night Violet Hargrove went to provoke her!
Alexander Kingsley called him long ago.
So...that car accident.
He had long said! Whoever offends her, he’ll kill them! Whoever wrongs her, he’ll destroy them!
He’s afraid she’ll find out.
If she goes back to the Nightingale Family, she’ll know her so-called father is dead, if she goes back, she’ll surely demand to find out the truth!
If she goes back, and knows the truth, will she hate him?
He’s more afraid that she’ll know Amos isn’t her biological father and will want to find her real father...
"I’ll say it again, don’t you dare go anywhere."
"..." She was completely frightened by him. What’s going on? Why is he so angry?
What’s wrong with her going home for a visit?
That person was her father!
If it was your father who died in a car accident, would you really ignore it and pretend you didn’t see?
Even just a glance would be nice!
She only felt that being held tightly, she was almost out of breath, pushing him forcefully, angrily: "Ugh, Lucas Knight, you bastard, let go of me! You’re hugging me to death!"
"We agreed not to interfere with each other, how can you do this now?"
Having just learned about the car accident at home, her emotions were inevitably agitated, combined with pregnancy, she became even more irritable.
"Have you looked at the contract? Mr. President! You’ve been so inexplicably strange lately!"
She really didn’t understand why he was so angry.
He said nothing, stood there, eyes coldly staring at her... this look was a bit like... the night twelve years ago.
He was being hunted! In the remote wilderness, he ended up hiding behind a snake farm...
That night, it started to rain heavily, he was soaked, in the darkness, cold and in pain, grabbed a fluffy thing and rubbed it in his arms.
