Chapter 1240: Chapter 1237: The Betrothal Gift from the President of Country Z
...
On the balcony, Eva Nightingale was trimming the flowers and plants with scissors, feeling quite relaxed.
She found that the Sovereign Empire was a lot more fun than Eastern Europe.
The folks in Eastern Europe only knew how to fight all day, rushing into action at the slightest disagreement; there truly wasn’t much fun to be had there, plus, Eliana Beckett couldn’t control her here.
Speaking of Eliana Beckett, Eva felt she was quite conflicted.
"Since when did Madam become so virtuous?" A cold voice came from behind, and Eva instinctively turned her head, just in time to see Lucas Knight.
How is he everywhere?
Wasn’t he in the Sovereign Empire?!
"What brings you here?" She put away the scissors, holding a bouquet of carnations.
With a smile: "Boss, what are you holding?"
"A painting." As he spoke, Lucas Knight handed it over, his expression a bit cold, still sour over that little bun!!
That little thing, barely any age, already knows how to compete with him for women!
"Ah!" So beautiful, she took it, "Did you paint this?" It’s really well done!!
Lucas Knight: "..." Well, I don’t mind if you think I painted it.
Since a fine drizzle had started outside, Eva obediently followed him downstairs.
The first thing she did upon going downstairs was head to the living room to get the kitchen to serve the dishes.
Lucas Knight, on the other hand, went to the children’s room, looking at the little bun: "Ivy, I’ve given her your painting."
The little bun nodded, extremely excited: "Thanks, Dad."
"..." The sudden ’Dad’ left him slightly stunned, then he touched the little one’s face, "Good night, sleep early."
The little bun was exceedingly obedient, dutifully lying down on the bed.
...
Eva Nightingale had been in the Sovereign Empire for almost a month.
Over in Eastern Europe, Eliana Beckett had already returned from Z Country.
Upon arriving at the castle, her first move was to ask Jasmine Green about Eva’s whereabouts: "Jasmine, where’s Eva?"
Recently, there were no phone calls, no messages; Eliana instinctively felt uneasy, knowing she usually liked to wander around, but it’s been about a month now, wherever she went for fun, shouldn’t she be home by now?
"Madam, the young lady is in New York. She got in touch with me, saying she was going to the Marwell Islands for a trip, so she shouldn’t be back anytime soon." Jasmine fibbed, "Don’t worry madam, with the young lady’s current capabilities, most people can’t harm her."
Jasmine was worried inside, but seeing Eva was serious this time, Jasmine thought Eva genuinely liked that exceptionally powerful man, thus she must give her all to assist her.
Nothing else, Jasmine now belonged to her and must be so in both heart and soul.
This is the essential professional quality required of a top agent; she’s Eva’s person now, she must follow her.
Even though Eliana Beckett had nurtured her for over twenty years, still...
"Jasmine, you know she’s mischievous." Eliana sat in the living room, "Eva’s identity isn’t ordinary, we have many old enemies from Bennett’s past, her being out there alone, truthfully, I’m rather uneasy."
"Jasmine, my idea is to have you bring her back..."
Eliana seemed to have more to say.
But, she hesitated.
Jasmine nodded: "Yes, Madam!" Not to truly bring Eva back, but just to see her and ask for her opinion.
"Madam, rest assured, I’ll go find the young lady right away."
"Mhm." Eliana nodded. Just as she sighed in relief, someone came with a message, "Madam! The President of Z Country has sent another betrothal gift."
