Chapter 249 - Who's The Father? (One)
Eva waltzes in the entrance door outside the restaurant, her eyes immediately traveling throughout the dining hall. But the place is empty, but only four people are in here.
She wonders if she came to the right place. Anyway, it's not her concern about why she is here. It will be brief, and she will leave after giving that girl a piece of her advice and rage.
That girl is torn in her relationship with Bryan. She will show that Bryan chose her, and it's time for her to give up! Eva mused as she walked toward the bar area of this restaurant.
Halfway, a man blocks Eva's way.
"Excuse me, ma'am. We were close for the entire afternoon. If you want to make a table reservation, you can visit our website and fill up our reservation form." Ray explained politely, a smile plastering across his handsome face.
"I'm not here for that. The person I have an appointment with will give me this address. I'm looking for Miss Hailey." She and Bryan were together for many years, but she never got that girl's surname, but she only knew her name was Hailee.
"Oh, my apologies. But I was instructed that Miss Davies' date this afternoon is Mr. Bryan Anderson."
"Mr. Anderson can't make it. So I am here on his behalf. I want to see her." said Eva, displaying her fake sweet smile.
Date!? She tried to be calm because the truth was she wants to explode right now, right here. But what got her attention was the surname this man had mentioned.
Eva looked at the man with furrowed eyebrows. It made her wonder if she heard it correctly. The man addressed Hailee as Miss Davies…
Hailee Davies? Is it a coincidence? Of course, there are at least a few with the same name and surname in this world.
Eva followed Ray toward the VIP rooms and opened a particular room, then gesturing his hand.
"Miss Davies is waiting already. I'll be the one to serve at this meeting; if you need anything, ma'am, just call my name, Ray."
Eva nodded, but she ignored him. Her mind was occupied with something. Maybe they've just the same name as that heiress of a multi-trillion dollars company, the Davies Group.
Sat on the long couch, crossing her legs, Hailey enjoying her tea then, Eva immediately shrieks as she halts in front of her.
"You!" her blood immediately boils upon seeing this girl again.
"Miss Eva Lan, please take a seat." Hailee smiled. She gestured her hand to the empty couch across from her.
"What is this? Why aren't you surprised to see me? Did you already expect me to show instead of Bryan?" Eva immediately fired questions on top of her lungs.
She came here well prepared to humiliate this girl and woke her up to her illusion of getting Bryan back to her. But she saw no trace of surprise on Hailee's face. And that pissed her off because it caught her off guard. She started feeling something was not correct here.
Even so, she won't be intimidated by Hailee! Eva fretted inwardly.
She scanned from the head down to her flat shoes. She's wearing a short white skirt and a pink sleeveless crop top. Her get up today is too simple, but she felt envious of how flawless she was as a woman. Her long legs displayed beautifully while crossing her legs.
She fixed her gaze on her face. She bet she only applied some CC Cream and pink lip gloss.
She knew she had a pretty face, and this was where her insecurities came from. She's young and pretty. The goddess of beauty seemed to have blessed her when she was born that even though many years had passed, her youthfulness remained. The reason Bryan is always looking behind him is to take a glimpse of her beauty.
And because Bryan always worries about her, their relationship never moves on or grows fruitful. The reason she hated her so much. She wishes she was gone! But somehow, Liam is head over heels in love with her.
That is why even though she has the desire to ruin that innocent face, unfortunately, she must not provoke Liam to touch her. But she knew that behind that pretty face is not so innocent girl Bryan always speaks off.
Bryan would always reason out that she was a naive girl. She's innocent, and she's fragile. But looking at this girl this close, she could sense that she was not really innocent or frail like a damsel in distress! But she knew her bitchiness was hiding in her innocent mask!
Eva cannot settle down with the rage boiling inside her chest. She casts a sharp stare at Hailee, who continues sipping on her teacup.
"Miss Lan, why don't you take a seat and join me for tea? What do you want? Don't worry. It's my treat." Hailey looked up. She smiled sheepishly at Eva. "Or are you going to stare at me all afternoon? That is uncomfortable for me—"
"Shut up! I'm here to warn you." Eva began, pointing her index finger at Hailey. "Stay away from Bryan, or you'll be sorry!"
Hailey looks at Eva with a gloomy face, which was just her act. That's right, Eva is not the only one who is good at acting. She could do it too! That is why in the next seconds, Hailee remains sad.
"Why are you threatening me, Miss Lan? Besides, you don't need to shout when we are the only ones in this room. I would hear you with your normal voice. I'm really sincere in inviting you to have something to eat. And I'm freaking hungry again! I know pregnant women have cravings."
Hailee didn't fake that smile because she was on that stage now. Her cravings for particular food and sweets are killing her.
Hailey casually sends a text to Vince if she could get another dessert. A caramel cake, perhaps, or newly baked berries pies. She's craving for those at the moment.
But there is a reason she wants to eat again. When Eva walked in, the strong scent of her perfume made her dizzy, and for a second, she wanted to vomit.
Damn. She hated how fragile she was with her pregnancy symptoms. She suddenly becomes weak every time she's facing a crucial battle.
But the moment Eva's perfume caught her nostril, she started bathing in a cold sweat, and her stomach turned up. That's why, to distract herself from feeling uncomfortable, she wants to eat something at least.
She was glad that a caramel cake was served immediately.
"Why don't you join me, Miss Lan?" Once again, she offered Eva the seat across from her.
But Eva's perfume is now causing her head to throb wildly. 'I can't stay with my poise!' Hailey grumbled to her head.
She sought help from the caramel cake, and she stuffed her mouth in a hurried motion to relieve her suffering, which she's struggling with at the moment.
Now sat down on the couch, Eva snorted. Her lips curled into a mocking smirk, watching Hailey continue stuffing her mouth with that cake-like she never ate one before.
"Kid, don't you have food in your house, and you were eating like there's no tomorrow? How disgusting you are! It seemed that you only appeared beautiful outside, but your manners are disgraceful! No wonder Bryan always comes back to me. You are a disappointment."
"What do you mean, Bryan, come back to you? My memory isn't failing me yet, Miss Lan. It was you who kept throwing yourself to him and did everything to drug him so that he would sleep with you. And my house never has out of food nor my bank car out of money."
"Whatever! Just shut up! Bryan desires me. That's why he cannot refuse me! You may be young and have a perfect body, but if you don't know how to please a man on the bed, he'll always be looking for someone who would serve him well!" Eva lifted her chin while rattling this. She's very proud of herself.
At the thought of Hailey that Eva had finished her speech, she prepared a counter-attack, but Eva carried on.
"If Bryan didn't love me. He would never meet me and have sex a week before your wedding!"
"Why are you so insecure, Miss Lan? Why is it that every time we've encountered, all you'd throwing at my face is about your sex life with Bryan? I don't care about Bryan's private life. But I care who he should share his entire life with! And you are not qualified!"
She carried on,
"Besides, I'm pregnant! So I can't control my cravings!"
"What?" Eva flinched at the news she heard. For a minute, she could feel the lump in her throat that was slowly suffocating her. "Come again? Are you pregnant? Who's the father?"
Hailee didn't reply, and Eva started fussing. "Tell me!"
'It's your nominal husband!' Hailey wants to scream this. But she didn't. Not yet.
"Don't tell me you crawled on Bryan's bed!? That's why you are meeting him? To tell him? Is it about the last time I overheard you in the background? Answer me!" Eva accused with her high pitch shrill.
'Damn it! Hoping he would not misunderstand this!' She hasn't shared that encounter yet, which....
Vince is listening!
