“Who told you that? It must be those women …,” Eva Taylor shrugged off the bag in her hand and said, “They’re all over your eyes all day long, men can’t tell what women are thinking, but they can’t hide it from me!”
Joe Wright is almost laughing.
The most important thing between lovers is trust, he has warned her countless times, but she all as a deaf ear. He thought that if he married someone he didn’t love, he could live in peace and be together for the rest of his life, but now it seems he was too optimistic.
“Eva, you are so suspicious, it will make us tired of each other.”
Joe Wright sighed helplessly, his expression was indeed full of fatigue, Eva Taylor bit her lower lip, full of aggression: “You only blame me, what about yourself? Have you ever given me a sense of security?”
The Internet says that the security in love is not given by others, but there is a prerequisite: two people love each other.
They of them love each other.
“There are some things that I can never give you.” Joe Wright frowned slightly and said seriously.
He wanted peace, she could give it to him, while she wanted love, he could never do it.
“Why?” Eva Taylor’s eyes glistened with tears, knowing she was being unreasonable, but she simply couldn’t help it: “I’ve given so much for you, for the Wright Family, just to get you to like me a little more, even a little, how hard can it be! Why do you just refuse to look at me, you have to …”
“That’s enough!” Knowing that she was on the verge of bringing up Emma Rosy again, Joe Wright stopped in a deep voice.
Emma doesn’t even love you, and you’re missing her like a complete idiot!
The essence of a fight is to expose the other person’s scars and make them hurt more, then you win.
Joe Wright nodded, acknowledging Eva Taylor’s victory, and then turned decisively to leave.
There was no parking nearby and his car was on the side of the road a few dozen meters away, his phone ringing loudly on the way, the name jumping on the screen making him feel even worse for a moment.
“Didn’t I tell you not to call me if you have nothing to do!” He picked up the phone and chided him directly, unable to hold back.
“But I have something, and it’s a big deal …”
“Say it!”
“I’m pregnant.”
With the sound of hurried footsteps ringing behind him, Joe Wright quickly hung up and prepared to move on, only to be caught by Eva Taylor anyway.
If he had anticipated this situation, he would have bought a plane ticket and left after breaking off his engagement with Emma Rosy, rather than stay here and be distracted by two women!
“Do we have to keep arguing?” He turned his head back with a grimace.
Eva Taylor’s hand suddenly stiffened, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face, then shook her head good-naturedly and said softly in a slightly mumbling voice: “I’m sorry Joe , I … I lost my temper again, don’t be angry, okay? I promise not to suspect you again, and definitely not to go to the company to make trouble, let’s make up, okay?”
Every time is the same, she first provoked him and then coaxed, like a countless re-enactment of the play without new ideas.
She indulges in it, but he is unwilling to cooperate anymore.
“Let’s each calm down and not see each other in the near future.” Joe Wright pushed Eva Taylor’s hand away and took a deep breath.
He and Eva Taylor have similarities in their personalities. Being friends is fine, but being lovers or even a couple may explode into more unexpected problems in the future. He has long had the idea of reconsidering this relationship, but just did not find the opportunity to bring it up, now just right.
And that woman, too, was in urgent need of his attention.
Eva Taylor obviously can not accept, but also very incomprehensible, why she has been low and soft, Joe Wright still hold on to what just happened. Her heart was burning with anger again, but she didn’t dare to show it for fear that he would really abandon her cruelly.
“Joe I know I’m wrong, don’t be like this, okay?
“If there’s anything else you’re not happy with, just say so and I’ll change it. didn’t Emma and Grandpa teach us that cold turkey doesn’t solve problems.”
Joe Wright was getting irritated by the woman’s words and wasn’t paying attention to Eva Taylor at all. When he saw that she wouldn’t let go, he walked towards the car on his own.
Eva Taylor was dragged all the way to the car and saw that Joe Wright was really not going to pay attention to her, so she panicked even more and hurriedly stepped in front of the car door.
“Get out of the way!”
Joe Wright could not stand it any longer, he gave a warning and reached out to pull her.
Eva Taylor, wearing high heels, twisted her ankle during the argument and fell to the ground in disarray.
“How dare you push me?” She instantly turned red and yelled in sadness and indignation, “I’m your fiancée, how could you do this to me? Are you crazy?!”
Are you crazy?
Maybe, Marisa Miller, Paul Johnson, the Wright Family all seem to have gone crazy in just a few days, and so did he.
Leaning over to pick up Eva Taylor, he said, word for word, as she waited for coaxing and apologies, “Eva, let’s break up.”
The word “break up” was like two heavy punches to Eva Taylor’s head. She was the one who had just been wronged, so how could Joe Wright not feel the least bit sorry and propose a breakup?
“Why, is it because of Emma Rosy again? Eva Taylor could no longer control her emotions at this moment, her whole body was trembling.
Joe Wright denied it, but when she didn’t believe him, he had to admit it instead.
His words were clear and his patience was all but exhausted. No matter how much Eva Taylor begged or fussed, he paid no attention to her, got into his car and drove away.
At the villa along the river, Candy Hall sat in the luxurious living room with shopping bags full of the season’s new dresses and luxury items.
Joe Wright enters and ignores this, settling down on the couch across from her and tossing his car keys.
“Tell me, what’s going on?”
Not expecting this kind of attitude, Candy Hall was stunned, and then she came up with a plan: “I’m pregnant, give me $3 million and I’ll get an abortion.”
The drama of being pregnant and asking for money is very common.
Joe Wright leaned into the sofa, and his sharp gaze swept over the woman, and after a long time, he said, “The baby is mine?”
The woman was stunned again, and then showed a look of annoyance: “What do you mean by that? I was with you, pregnant with a child of course it is yours!”
“Only that night …” Joe Wright leaned forward, propped his elbows on his lap, crossed his fingers and asked thoughtfully, “Would it be that coincidental?”
His suspicion, Candy Hall naturally understand.
Although they were lovers, they had only once shared a bed, and that was the night Joe Wright got drunk. After that, Candy Hall lived in the villa and tried to seduce, but unfortunately, it did not work on Joe Wright at all, only to get deeper disgust and indifference.
Just because the probability of a one-time hit seems small, doesn’t mean it won’t happen.
“Yeah, that’s the one time!” Candy Hall gently stroked the flat belly,: “I was still innocent before with you, if you do not want to pay, then just marry me, just as I do not want to abort the child.”
She paused, not waiting for Joe Wright’s response, then said: “I know, you are from a wealthy family must despise a common girl like me, so simply do not bother, you give me three million, we are no longer involved!
Money is the only thing that comes out of her mouth.
Joe Wright narrowed his eyes slightly and felt that things were not simple.
If the woman threatened him for money, she could have waited for the baby to be born, and the mother would have been able to share at least half of his property in the future, compared to the three million today, which was not even a fraction.
Unless, the child is not his, or the woman is not pregnant at all.
With his mind made up, Joe Wright smiled playfully and continued to negotiate with her: “If that’s the case, then fine. If you give birth to the baby and it is identified as belonging to the Wright Family, I will give you the name of mother and child.”
When she heard the first sentence, Candy Hall thought Joe Wright agreed to pay the money and her face was filled with joy.
The second sentence instantly shattered her hopes.
She stood up and said angrily: “Why should I have a child! I … you and I have no feelings, even if married … will not be happy, anyway I want to do abortion, you must give me money, or … I go to the police to sue you, I find the media to expose you! ”
This look of panic, obviously anxious, he took her directly to the hospital at this time to do an identification, perhaps everything will be able to the truth.
But Joe Wright pursed his lips and hesitated.
If he didn’t want to be responsible for Candy Hall, even if she was really pregnant, the child would never be able to stay. But what about afterwards, Candy Hall did not achieve her goal, if the determination of the fish dead net broke the story, he personal reputation damage is small, he fears Wright Group will also be implicated.
And Emma, what will Emma think of him when she learns that he has a mistress? Will she believe his explanation?
Then again, if Candy Hall succeeds in threatening him once, she will think of him again when she is short of money and threaten to blackmail him again and again.
After a long time, Joe Wright took a deep breath and whispered, “Stay quiet, I’ll give you an answer in a week.”
The matter now can only be delayed and go back to think about it.
Candy Hall agreed quickly.
While Joe Wright was worried about his “mistress,” Eva Taylor, still reeling from the breakup, ran home to ask her big brother for help.
Charles Taylor is busy investigating clues to Emma Rosy’s disappearance, and when he sees his sister enter in tears, he immediately guesses that she has fallen out with Joe Wright again, and after asking, he learns that the situation is more serious than he thought.
“Joe Wright took it upon himself to mention it, and you didn’t say anything angry before?” He helped Eva Taylor sit on the edge of the bed, handed her a towel, and sat in the chair across from her.
Eva Taylor became increasingly irritated at the memory of the scene and threw the towel out with a fierce hand: “Of course! I can’t break up with him even if I’m angry, so stop asking questions and help me out!”
At Eva Taylor’s urging, Charles Taylor frowned and pondered for a long time, then carefully observed her expression and tentatively proposed: “Eva, why don’t … you try to forget about him? Take advantage of this breakup time, you focus on other things, such as work, travel, or a new relationship …”
“What are you talking about?!”
Eva Taylor snapped her eyes wide, as if she had heard the most unbelievable words in the world.
She had been pursuing Joe Wright for so long, and had suffered countless grievances, and had to please the Wright Family from time to time, and all for what?
He had expected that she would be too excited to listen to advice when this matter was mentioned. Charles Taylor hastened to explain: “You like Joe Wright very much, big brother understands, but I don’t want to see you suffer.”
“So what if I’m aggravated, that’s what I volunteered for!”
Thinking that Charles Taylor did not understand her, Eva Taylor did not want to waste any more time and headed for the door, but before opening it, she seemed angry and turned around and yelled: “You don’t know anything about love! I’m still Joe’s fiancée, aren’t you? You’ve been courting Emma Rosy for over two years, and she’s never even looked at you!”
With a bang, the door was slammed shut and Charles Taylor stared into the air for a long time.
Those words just now, did they really come from Eva’s mouth? After the death of their parents, They siblings were dependent on each other. Eva respected him the most as her big brother, and although she occasionally played pranks, she never disobeyed him on important matters, let alone said such harsh words.
Eva has changed, since she met Joe Wright, her whole person is changing in a subtle way.
Fearing that Eva Taylor would do something stupid in anger, Charles Taylor quickly adjusted his emotions and went out to talk to her again, but the maid said she had just packed a bag of clothes and seemed to have left home.
Charles Taylor stood in the middle of the hall with his arms crossed, at a loss for words, until Joe Wright called.
After the call, both sides were silent.
Between men, there is no way to say many things, and there is no need to say them.
“Did she tell you?” Finally, Joe Wright broke the silence.
Charles Taylor sighed helplessly, “Why stimulate her when you know how deep her feelings for you are?”
“I’m sorry.” Joe Wright sounded down, then confessed, “I can’t be with Eva because … I’ve done something wrong to her.”
Since he got drunk that night and had sex with Candy Hall in a daze, he has made one mistake after another, and today there is no room for maneuvering. Whether for his own sake or for the sake of those around him, he had to get things under control.
“… this matter can not be known to the outside world, to the family is even more difficult to say, but also please help me to keep it a secret.”
He thought about it, or to Charles Taylor to confess the most appropriate.
Charles Taylor did not as expected as a furious, but also really shocked, about five minutes before deliberately asked: “This is the reason for your breakup?”
They had known each other for a short time, but knowing him, there was no doubt about his description and explanation. And it had happened, there was no point in accountability, the priority was to protect Eva Taylor.
If Joe Wright has love for Eva Taylor, once in a while make a mistake, you can also give him a chance to change, who let Eva Taylor like him?
However, Joe Wright thought for a moment and decided to make it clear: “I already owe Eva a lot, and now that this has happened, I don’t deserve to marry her. I think it’s better to call off the engagement.”
Alas … he knew this, why did he give her hope in the first place?
Charles Taylor and Joe Wright have the same idea, but Eva Taylor just lost her temper and ran away from home, if he rashly agreed to cancel the engagement, Eva Taylor knows, there is no telling what will become of it.
After a moment of hesitation, he had to reject it first: “Have you ever thought that this may be more harmful to Eva?”
Joe Wright was busy with Candy Hall’s affairs, so he said, “Then let’s postpone the wedding date first, and wait for my affairs to be settled, and then we can think about it in the long run.”
“That’s all we can do for now.” Charles Taylor nodded helplessly, and then reminded him that Eva Taylor had left home, and no matter what, don’t stimulate her again.
Joe Wright frowned at the thought that Eva Taylor had been losing her temper more and more frequently lately, and that some of her usual behavior was more akin to surveillance than concern.
But this is only his concern, Charles Taylor is Eva Taylor’s own brother, will not think his sister has a problem.
“Then … you pay more attention to Eva’s emotional state.” Finally, he had to remind so.
Five days have passed since the kidnapping, Emma Rosy is getting weaker and weaker, and the vital energy in her body is like an hourglass, passing along with time.
Except for Marisa Miller, who was in a good mood every time she saw her, the rest of the group was in a state of deep concern and anxiety.
To fulfill Marisa Miller’s orders, Cameron Hunter invites Alex Brown to meet him again, saying that he misunderstood earlier and that his fiancée is Olivia Bush, not someone pretending to be her.
Having seen Marisa Miller’s true face, Alex Brown was not convinced. Seeing that Cameron Hunter was distracted from the moment he got out of the car, and looking around vigilantly after he was seated, he guessed that he might be being watched, and asked the waiter to leave his pen when he ordered.
