"Severe depression? Ryan has severe depression?" Eva couldn't believe it and stared at Ryan in disbelief. Suddenly, her eyes were filled with tears, and she saw the sadness and despair in Ryan's eyes.
"When did you get depressed?" asked Eva.
"I don't know," Ryan replied nonchalantly, then smiled again.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I smile more than before..."
His smile was bright, just like when he was young. He was like an outgoing high school student, smiling so happily.
Eva had heard that it wasn't easy to tell whether one had depression even though he was on the verge of collapse.
Eva knew that Ryan had depression because he couldn't get over this relationship.
"Ryan, what can I do to help you?"
Ryan smiled. "Eva, you don't need to help me. I don't want to forget her again. I promised that I'd never forget her anymore. I have to keep my promise."
Then he added, "Even until the next life."
Only then did Eva realize that he was blaming himself for forgetting Amelia.
He was willing to be consumed by depression, swallowed by darkness, and dragged into hell by demons, just to love her without regrets. It seemed that Amelia was the greatest and most precious treasure in his life.
"But Ryan, what are you going to do?"
He loved Amelia so deeply. What should he do? Who could help him?
Ryan shook his head. No one could help him, not even himself. He was trapped in his own world, and no one could save him. Only death could help him.
At that thought, his smile slowly disappeared. He looked up at the sea of flowers in the distance and gently opened his lips.
"Eva, I want to leave this world, but I'm afraid she will feel guilty and won't be able to live on."
He had depression and wanted to leave, but he was afraid that Amelia would feel guilty and wouldn't be able to live on, so he had to hold on.
Eva couldn't hold back her tears and cried out, "Ryan, why are you so stupid?"
Ryan saw her crying and smiled again.
"Eva, what I mean is that I won't die. I'll hold on for her sake."
Ryan wouldn't die, but he would live in a living hell.
Eva couldn't feel the same way since she didn't suffer from depression.
But she knew that Ryan must be suffering from extreme pain.
What kind of life had he lived in the Imperial Capital in the past year?
How could he suffer from severe depression for no reason?
Looking at Ryan's smiling face, Eva couldn't help but burst into tears.
Ryan had lost his lover, lost his legs, and suffered from severe depression. How could his life be so tough?
"I'm just here in the world to experience life. So, Eva, you don't have to be sad for me."
Ryan took out a piece of tissue from the table and handed it to her. His gentle action made Eva think that he was the best in the world.
"Ryan, since you said you wouldn't die, you must live a good life and don't take things too hard."
After saying that, she took out a blessing item from her bag and handed it to Ryan.
"After Amelia came back from Ireland, I went to buy it with her. Keep it. God will bless you."
Then she turned on her phone and took a picture of Amelia buying the item and showed it to him.
"Look, this is the photo Amelia made a wish for you before. She wants you to be healthy and happy."
"Although you and Amelia have changed a lot, you are still her most important family."
"So Ryan, you must take your medicine and recover soon. Don't let her down."
When Ryan saw Amelia praying sincerely, the melancholy in his eyes faded a little.
He stared at the photos on Eva's phone for a while and then looked up at Eva with a smile.
Indicated Their Ending "Can you send me the photo?"
Except for the photoshopped marriage photo, all the photos of Ryan and Amelia, when they were young, were destroyed.
He didn't have her picture, nor did he have a group photo of the two of them. It seemed that this also indicated their ending.
"Sure."
Eva took back her phone and forwarded it to him.
When Ryan received the photo, he smiled.
He stared at his phone for a long time and then looked up at Eva.
"Eva, don't tell her what happened to me. Let her and James live happily for the rest of their lives."
"What about you?"
"Me?"
Ryan raised his eyebrows and smiled again.
"I will also be happy and spend the rest of my life in peace."
Afraid that Eva wouldn't believe him, Ryan added, "If you don't trust me, you can often come to see me in the future."
After Zoey and Nora got married and had their families, they wouldn't have much time to stay by Ryan's side.
Sometimes Ryan felt lonely. He wanted to talk to someone, but he couldn't find anyone.
And his friend, Erin, was also locked up. How could he help Ryan?
Of course, Eva would come to visit him often. Without any hesitation, she nodded firmly and said, "Ryan, I will come to see you often."
Ryan nodded, reached out his fair hand, poured the cold tea, and handed another cup to Eva. "Have a try again?"
Eva picked up the tea and took a sip. It seemed that she hadn't tasted the tea until now. She replied, "A little bitter."
It was a little bitter, just like Ryan's life.
He had experienced all kinds of life and suffered from all kinds of feelings, including bitter feelings about love.
Eva stayed at Ryan's for dinner and another two days.
During these two days, she pushed Ryan around and took him to the scenic spot that the three of them had yearned for when they were children.
Eva had taken a lot of photos of him and her.
Just like when they were young when the three of them went to a place, they would take a lot of photos.
But someone was missing on this trip.
Ryan wanted to stay with Eva for a few more days, but the Collins Group needed him, and he didn't have much free time.
Although his father had woken up, he was still paralyzed and couldn't move freely. He couldn't return to the Collins Group to help Ryan yet.
Ryan had no choice but to put on his suit and pretended to be a normal person to guard the century-old business of the Collins Group for his father.
Eva asked Ryan to call her whenever he was in a bad mood or in any emergency.
At the airport, she kept telling Ryan to take good care of himself. She didn't get on the plane until he waved goodbye to her with a smile.
Eva returned to a city in low spirits. As soon as she got off the plane, she received a message from Stella.
[Come to the ball at the banquet hall of the Royal Hotel at eight o'clock tonight.]
Eva was worried about Ryan and was not in the mood to go to the ball, but Stella had put so much effort into it that Eva felt embarrassed to reject her. After getting ready at home, Eva changed into a champagne-colored evening gown that was not too extravagant but still formal. She then grabbed her bag and drove to Royal Hotel.
In the banquet hall, men and women in suits and dresses stood in groups of two or three, holding glasses of red wine and chatting with smiles on their faces in the banquet hall with dim light.
The slow and soft European and American music improved Eva's bad mood somewhat. She took a photo of the banquet hall and sent it to Ryan with a message of encouragement: [Ryan, I've started blind dating. Even after experiencing such. a failed marriage, I can still move forward. You should keep trying too.]
It was just a simple message, but it made Ryan smile.
The man in a wheelchair in the Imperial Capital read the warm message and replied, [Okay.]
Eva felt relieved after receiving his response and put her phone away before walking inside.
This ball was specifically organized by Stella for Andrew and Eva.
Andrew had already arrived, sitting upright on the sofa in a light gray suit, staring at the female doctor across from him as if he was there for a job interview.
"I have a mansion worth billions in the eastern central villa area, with about ten or so apartments of different sizes. I also have several luxury cars, and I have millions of money. Do you have any other questions?" Andrew said.
The female doctor subconsciously swallowed upon hearing that. Andrew was really the personal assistant of the Evans Group's president. He was quite wealthy. How would the female doctor dare to ask more? She quickly smiled and shook her head. "No, I don't have any questions."
"Then let's move on to the next person," Andrew said. The female doctor's smile froze. Did he mean he wasn't interested in her?
"You're not my type, sorry," Andrew said, waving his hand. when he saw that the female doctor didn't get up. The female doctor left in embarrassment after glaring at Andrew.
Stella, who was sitting not far away, saw her cousin drive away another woman and muttered, "He deserves to be single."
Grace, who was nestled in her arms and eating dessert obediently, raised her little head and said, "Stella, Uncle Andrew, and I have good taste and like beautiful ladies."
Henry also took a drink from the waiter and handed it to Grace. "So you mean the female doctors here aren't pretty enough?"
Grace took a sip and shook her head. "No, there are pretty ones, but compared to my aunt, Eva, and Stella, they're quite inferior. Uncle Andrew has seen so many stunning ladies. It's normal that he has no interest in those ladies."
Andrew turned his head and gave Grace a glance. "Can you stop calling me Uncle?"
Clearly, he was the same age as James and Henry. But the little girl called him Uncle. Did he look old?
Did He Look That Old?
"Uncle Andrew, I've shown you enough respect since I don't call you Grandpa Andrew," Grace said.
Andrew was only forty years old, but he was already an old man in Grace's eyes. Poor man!
Stella heard Eva's voice and quickly turned around. "Eva, you're here. Come sit over here."
Grace also got down from Stella's arms and ran to Eva, pulling Eva to sit next to her.
The little girl was very enthusiastic. As soon as Eva sat down, she leaned over and whispered in her ear, covering her mouth, "Eva, there's a super handsome guy over there. I've been watching him for a long time for you. Take a look and see if you like him. If you do, I'll bring him over."
Eva was amused and rubbed her forehead, but she still looked over at the man mentioned by Grace.
In the corner sofa area, there was indeed a doctor in a black suit with short hair.
He wore silver-rimmed glasses, looking handsome, gentle, and knowledgeable.
That was really Eva's style.
Eva raised her hand, lifted the hair on her ear, and shyly raised her chin towards Grace.
"Go and bring him over."
Go and Bring that Handsome...
"Okay!"
Grace immediately stood up and excitedly ran toward the handsome guy.
Eva saw Grace pat the doctor's hand, and then the doctor looked at Grace with a gentle smile.
Then he fed Grace some snacks and then saw Grace point to
Eva with her chubby hand.
"It's that lady over there. She likes you and wants me to bring you over."
The music in the banquet hall happened to be switched and it was silent for a few seconds. Grace's loud voice echoed throughout the hall.
Embarrassed, Eva raised her hands to cover her face, but,
Grace still pointed to her.
"The one covering her face. Did you see her, Mr. Sherwood?"
Dr. Sherwood followed Grace's finger and looked at Eva, who was covering her face with her hands.
After staring at Eva for a few seconds, he looked away and smiled at the little girl in front of him.
"Yes, can you take me over to meet her?"
"Sure!"
Grace immediately took Dr. Sherwood's hand and walked towards Eva happily.
Stella held a glass of red wine, took a sip, and smiled at Eva..
"That's Dr. Sherwood, who just returned from studying abroad. He has a great family background and looks good. I didn't expect Grace to have such good taste."
Embarrassed, Eva turned to Stella and held her hand, asking for help.
"Help, Stella! Just tell him that it was Grace's trick and I didn't have interest in him."
Stella laughed out loud.
"Eva, Dr. Sherwood doesn't get close to women at the hospital. He doesn't even want to talk to female doctors. If he's willing to come over now, it means he's interested in you at first sight. Otherwise, he would have rejected Grace directly!"
Henry smiled and eased Eva's embarrassment as well.
"That's right. Except for when he's on the operating table, he basically refuses to communicate with female doctors or nurses. Dr. Sherwood's family is similar to mine with strict rules. If he hasn't met a suitable girl, he won't take the initiative to talk with her"
Originally, Eva just thought that man looked good, but now that she heard what Henry said, she realized that the doctor really came for a blind date for marriage.
Eva suddenly became nervous. Since the doctor was so remarkable, he should match with a better girl. As a divorced woman, Eva didn't think she was good enough for him.
When she was thinking about how to refuse him later, she heard Dr. Sherwood greeting Stella and Henry.
Then Stella asked Dr. Sherwood to sit opposite them but didn't introduce him to Eva immediately. Instead, they talked about something about medicine.
Eva couldn't understand any of the professional terms they were talking about, but she learned from their conversation that Dr. Sherwood was a surgical expert.
Eva never looked up at Dr. Sherwood, only glanced at his fingers on the wine gla*s a few times.
While Eva was stealing glances at him, Dr. Sherwood took a glass of drink from a passing waiter and handed it to her.
"Eva, it's been a long time."
Eva was stunned for a moment, then looked up and looked into his pearl-like eyes.
"Do you remember me?"
Dr. Sherwood pointed to himself.
"I'm Jayden Sherwood, and I used to study at Marilyn High School."
Eva used to study at Marilyn High School, and Jayden was the student council president of the senior year. Every time Eva was late before, it was Jayden who caught her and had many demerits on her record.
As far as Eva could remember, Jayden wore thick glasses. He was less talkative and had relatively tanned skin. But the Jayden in front of her was fair and handsome, with no resemblance to his appearance during their school days.
"You... are really Jayden?" Eva was a little incredulous as she looked him up and down.
"How come you look completely different from before?"
Jayden smiled and pursed his lips. "When I was studying, I just buried my head in my books and didn't take care of myself."
Eva was originally embarrassed, but now that she knew he was her schoolmate, she relaxed. She looked at Jayden and exclaimed, "You've changed so much. I didn't recognize you."
Eva used to think he was ugly, but she didn't expect him to become a handsome guy after growing up. She blamed herself for only thinking about making money during high school and not paying much attention to him. But he actually remembered her, which was really surprising.
Thinking that they were high school classmates and thought they might have a chance, Stella quickly signaled to Henry. Henry immediately understood and patted Jayden's shoulder.
"Since you know each other, you can have a talk."
Then the gentle and elegant Henry picked up Grace and held Stella's hand, walking towards the resting area in the distance.
Once they left, there was only Eva and Jayden left in this small sofa area. Of course, there was also Andrew next to them, repeating how much money he had to different female doctors.
Eva, who had relaxed, picked up the drink that Jayden had just handed her and took a sip before asking him, "Jayden, didn't you settle abroad with your family after graduating from high school? Why did you come back?"
"I studied medicine abroad and did well, but I thought that our country also needed good doctors, so I chose to come back. After all, this is my home." Eva understood and nodded.
She then became curious about how he became a doctor.
"I remember you didn't take the college entrance examination back then. How did you become a doctor?"
Jayden was taken aback when he heard this. He then smiled and said, "I was recommended to enter college and then transferred to the medical department."
Jayden looked at her and slowed down his tone. "It seems that you didn't pay much attention to me back then."
Eva was embarrassed and pulled the corner of her lips. "Sorry, at that time, I was only thinking about making money and didn't pay much attention to anything at school."
She didn't even join any chat groups at high school because she was studying while working part-time. Hence, she wasn't very familiar with her classmates. Orphans like her had no choice. They had to rely on themselves and couldn't compare with children from good families.
Jayden had heard from his classmates that Eva was an orphan and had to rely on herself. Perhaps that was why she was always late for school at that time. Not exposing someone's past was the best courtesy, so Jayden didn't pursue the topic.
"You don't look much different from when you were in school."
Her eyes were still so clean and clear as if they had not been contaminated by the complexities of the world.
"There are still changes."
How could she not change at all after experiencing so many things? Even if there were no major changes in her appearance, she had been worn out.
"I remember the first time I saw you, you climbed over the wall and jumped down. I happened to pass by, and you jumped onto me."
"At that time, you were in a hurry to get to the classroom and didn't even look at me. You just said sorry before you got up and ran away."
"I limped after you and shouted, 'Wait a minute, you broke my hand."
"I thought you would take me to the infirmary, but you ran so fast that you disappeared in an instant."
Jayden's recollection of this past made Eva, who was immersed in depression, laugh out loud.
"Really? Was I so heartless back then?"
"Indeed." Jayden smiled.
The atmosphere between the two gradually became cheerful as they talked about the days when they were in high school.
Suddenly, Jayden became a little nervous and said, "Eva, I remember that many people wrote love letters to you in high school, and many boys confessed to you. It seems that you didn't lack suitors. Why did you still come to this blind date banquet?"
At this topic, Eva felt a little inferior and lowered her head.
"When I was a student, there were indeed a lot of people chasing after me, but that was a long time ago. Besides, I have been divorced. I can have the honor to attend your blind. date party just thanks to your director."
Eva didn't dare to look at Jayden.
"It's not a big deal that you have divorced. Don't force yourself to live with someone you don't like. After all, marriage is not the tomb to bind someone with another person, but a warm family."
Marriage was not a tomb, but a family.
Eva slowly raised her head and looked at Jayden.
She just came to the blind date party for Stella's sake.
But now Eva suddenly felt that maybe she could also consider if she met a good man.
Eva took a look at Jayden and asked tentatively, "Jayden, do you know the famous nightclubs in Arcadia?"
Jayden only focused on studying medicine and seldom went to such a place. He shook his head and said, "I don't know. I hope I can hear more."
Eva said straightforwardly, "The most famous nightclub was called Nightshade. Heaven and Earth is second to it, and I run the third most famous nightclub."
Jayden didn't expect Eva to run an entertainment club. He admired her and said, "You're awesome."
Eva had thought that Jayden would dislike her if he knew that she had a night club, but she didn't expect him to have such a reaction.
When she was still in a daze, Jayden said, "It so happens that our department is going to have a gathering tomorrow. How about going to your nightclub? Then you can make some money."
He pretended to give Eva a chance to make money, but in fact, he thought she was not bad and wanted to get close to her.
Eva knew what he meant. She hesitated. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should refuse him.
When she was stirring the ice in the glass with a straw, the background music changed and it became melodious and moving.
The host on the stage was calling on everyone to dance. Jayden stood up, slightly bent down, and reached out to Eva.
"Eva, I've watched the video of you dancing at the high school dancing party. You did a good job. May I invite you to dance?"
"I haven't danced for a long time. I'm afraid..."
"It doesn't matter. Let me teach you."
Jayden invited her sincerely. If Eva refused again, she would look a little pretentious.
Since they were here for blind dates, there was no need to feel shy. Since he was quite a good man, Eva didn't mind trying to get along with him.
Besides, they were schoolmates. There was nothing wrong with them dancing together.
Thinking of this, Eva put her hand in Jayden's and followed him to the center of the dance floor.
Stella, who was playing with Grace in the distance, smiled knowingly when she saw Jayden and Eva walk into the dancing floor hand in hand.
Sure enough, Eva liked her schoolmate. They were talking and laughing and dancing together so soon. It seemed that there was a chance for them to get together.
Stella immediately took out her phone and shot a small video, sending it to Amelia.
[Amelia, look, Eva finds a perfect match.]
Amelia was nestling in James's arms on a deck chair in Finland. Looking at the starry sky, Amelia clicked the video.
She had turned on the speaker and the melodious music sounded soon.
Hearing the voice, Jayden, who was holding Amelia, glanced down at the screen.
Seeing that Eva was dancing with a strange man on the dance floor, James raised his eyebrows slightly.
Holding her phone in her hand, Amelia typed excitedly.
[What's the man's name? How old is he? Which department is he from?]
Facing Amelia's series of questions, Stella, who was taking care of her child, replied briefly.
[Eva's schoolmate. One year older than her.]
Amelia was satisfied. After all, Eva wouldn't have had a hard time if the man was mature enough.
Then, Amelia sent Stella a kiss Emoji and replied, [Come on! Eva's happiness depends on you.]
Then, Amelia put down her phone, put her arms around James's waist, and said with a smile, "Oh, Eva might get married soon."
James made no reply. He just smiled casually.
He wondered how Paul would react if he watched the video.
Paul was sitting in the VIP lounge of the Royal Hotel, drinking and chatting with several internationally famous presidents.
As Paul had temporarily been the president before, if James went on vacation or had something private to deal with, Paul would have to be the president again.
Paul didn't like managing, but he was much better at socializing than James, especially when it came to drinking, entertainment, and discussing projects.
Of course, the smooth progress of project discussions was mainly due to the fact that he had the support of the Evans family, and most of those who invited him out to play were trying to win him over.
Paul knew this well and planned to have a few drinks and then leave. However, those presidents seemed to know that he liked to play and brought in some hot girls to accompany him.
"Mr. Evans, these girls were brought from abroad. Why don't you try?" The one who spoke was the president of the Glorious Group, who thought about bringing in some hot foreign girls would help him get closer to Paul.
But he clearly didn't know Paul well. Paul liked to play, but he didn't play with just anyone.
Paul leaned back on the sofa, with his legs crossed and a wine glass between his slender fingers. He lightly tapped his fingers. on the glass as if he was holding back something.
The foreign girls, seeing that he didn't refuse, immediately became bolder and walked up to him, pouring him wine and reaching out to massage his shoulders. But before their hands could touch his shoulders, he stopped them with a smile. "Don't touch me."
Paul had a warm smile on his face, but there was a bone-chilling coldness that ordinary people didn't have in his eyes. He smiled, but it was more terrifying than when he had a cold face.
This kind of coldness came from the depths of his heart, making people unconsciously afraid. With just one glance, several foreign girls knew that he was not someone to trifle with.
Paul was playful, flirtatious, and not serious, but not easy to mess with.
The foreign girls quickly withdrew their hands and stood on the side obediently.
Paul put down his crossed legs, stood up, and smiled at the several presidents. "Let's call it a day. I'm leaving first."
After speaking, Paul took a step and turned to walk towards the door. When he wanted to enter the elevator, he saw Andrew holding a lighter and coming down the stairs.
Paul stopped in his tracks, turned, and shouted at Andrew, "What are you doing here?"
Andrew put away the lighter and walked towards him.
"Stella held a ball and forced me to go on a blind date."
Those female doctors were only interested in his assets. After asking that question, they didn't ask anything else. Andrew didn't find it interesting at all.
He couldn't stand it anymore, so he took advantage of Stella taking care of Grace and quietly slipped away to smoke and calm down.
Seeing Andrew's dejected look, Paul knew that no one was interested in him.
"Put on other clothes next time. Who would be interested in someone who looks so old-fashioned?"
Paul was about to enter the elevator after saying that, but Andrew said, "Miss Miller is also on a blind date upstairs. It seems like she's interested in someone, and they're dancing together."
Paul's face instantly darkened. Clearly, he was annoyed. "Take me up there."
It had been a long time since Eva had danced, and she had stepped on Jayden's feet several times. The last time she stepped on him, it was a bit too hard, causing Jayden's thick eyebrows to raise in pain.
"I'm sorry. Why don't we stop dancing? I'll help you to the resting area," Eva said.
Jayden didn't mind the accidental stepping, but Eva didn't want to dance anymore. She was afraid of causing him more pain.
As she helped Jayden off the dance floor, they were blocked by a tall and handsome man in a custom-tailored suit. Paul exuded an air of aristocratic calmness and his cold and sharp eyes were fixed on the hand that Eva was holding Jayden's with.
"Miss Miller, are you here for the blind date?" Paul asked.
Eva didn't bother to respond and tried to walk past him with Jayden, but Jayden reached out to stop them.
"Dr. Sherwood, don't you know that Miss Miller was with me for three years?" Paul said, looking down at Jayden, who was wearing glasses and looked scholarly.
Jayden had just returned to the country and had no idea about their past, but he recognized the man who was blocking their way. He was James's cousin, the seventh son of the Evans family, a notorious playboy who was famous both domestically and internationally.
Jayden, who came from a simple family, really had nothing to show off in front of Paul's wealth and power. However, for some reason, Jayden just wanted to fight against him when he saw the disdain and superiority in Paul's eyes.
Jayden straightened up, held Eva's hand, and looked up at the younger but taller Paul.
"She's broken up with you, Mr. Evans, so there's no need for you to say such things in front of me," Jayden said.
"Oh, really?" Paul walked up and tried to intimidate Jayden with his height. "Dr. Sherwood, do you want the woman who I played?"
The word "played" was quite harsh. Eva thought she couldn't feel sad anymore, but those words still hurt her.
"Paul, were the three years we spent together just a game to you?" Eva asked.
"What else could it be? Dating?" Paul asked back, looking angry and giving her a cold glance.
Eva's heart sank, and her hands and feet suddenly felt cold. They had been in a loving relationship for three years, and he had treated her well. He had stopped her from smoking, helped her quit smoking, made her warm water when she had her period, ma*saged her head when she had a headache from staying up late, bought her gifts when she was upset, and sent her flowers, food, and drinks every day. But in Paul's eyes, it was just a game.
Eva's face darkened, and she gradually became disappointed as she looked at Paul.
"I see," she said, trying to leave with Jayden, but Jayden held her hand tightly.
"Mr. Evans," Jayden said, holding Eva's delicate hand tightly. "Since you insist on using the word 'play' to insult Miss Miller, then I will announce that she'll be my girlfriend from now on."
The warmth from her fingertips made Eva feel a little strange, but she didn't withdraw her hand away. Perhaps it was because she wanted to get back at Paul.
When Paul saw their hands clasped tightly together, he was bristling with rage.
He stared at Eva for a long time before gritting his teeth and asking, "Why don't you push him away? Are you ready to accept him?"
Eva thought for a while. She was fine with it even though Jayden had had a lot of girlfriends after they broke up.
She just went on a blind date, but he made it seem like she had done something wrong.
Eva thought, "What is going on? Only he can date others? But I can't date anyone else? That is ridiculous. I want to date whoever I want to date."
Eva opened her hand and interlocked her fingers with Jayden's. She then looked up at Paul. "That's right, I've accepted him. From now on, Dr. Sherwood and I are in a romantic relationship."
Paul sneered. "You've only known each other for a day and you're already someone's girlfriend? You're so casual."
"Who said Dr. Sherwood and I have only known each other for a day?" Eva turned her gaze away from Paul and looked at Jayden, who had been watching her the whole time. "He's my schoolmate. We've known each other for a long time. We met again and thought we were pretty good, so we started dating. Do you still think I'm casual?"
Paul's heart sank when he heard that they had known each other for a long time. He was angry and his eyes were filled with rage. "Eva Miller!"
He grabbed Eva's wrist and tried to drag her out of the banquet hall, but Eva shook him off. "Paul, you're just a man I played with. I'm tired of you, so stop bothering me."
It was clearly a counterattack, but it sounded extremely harsh to Paul's ears and he felt heartbroken.
"Eva Miller, how dare you say it again!"
When Eva was about to repeat herself, Paul's eyes turned red.
Paul hated this kind of uncontrollable emotion. He grabbed Eva's chin and pulled her into his arms.
Jayden, who was following them, wanted to pull the two away but was stopped by Paul's fierce red eyes.
"If you dare to come over, I will make all the members of the Sherwood family go to hell!"
