Chapter 80 His Charm
Penelope was wearing an elegant dress and a small fur shawl. When she came to Westin Hotel, she was in a good mood. She only brought a small wristlet bag with nothing in it. But now, Morgan left her in the hotel like this.
She didn’t even have her phone, let alone ask her friends to send her money. Those people would only laugh at her when they came.
Penelope clenched her shawl tightly, wanting to get her warmer.
Fortunately, Morgan had told the hotel before. Even if he just smashed everything here, no one would stop Penelope when she left here. The hotel would check everything and send the bill to Morgan.
Penelope wandered around the door for more than ten minutes. The manager here hurried out.
“Mrs. Sommers, why haven’t you left yet?” The manager asked respectfully.
Even if the Sommers family made such a farce today, he still couldn’t offend them, in case the Sommers family made a comeback one day.
Penelope was exhausted at the moment. She told the manager about her current situation. In the end, the manager gave her 200 dollars, letting her take a taxi to leave.
Penelope, who was sitting in the taxi, covered her face and cried.
As soon as Morgan left, he was busy contacting the guests who attended the banquet tonight, asking them not to disclose this matter to the media. After all, Sheila was a star. If the media knew about it, they would definitely report it. It was just that most of them didn’t answer Morgan’s call.
What made him even more desperate was that some paparazzi sneaked into the banquet hall today, and they took photos to ask him for money. Morgan was very busy now.
However, Eva who messed up tonight’s banquet didn’t have any trouble at all. When Caleb hugged her and left, he also covered her face, so that the paparazzi who heard the news outside couldn’t take a photo of her face.
Caleb opened the door of the passenger seat and let Eva sit in. Then he went around to the driver’s seat, asked the driver to get out of the car, and then drove the car himself. Eva, who had not yet calmed down, didn’t care where she was taken by Caleb.
When the car was parked halfway up the mountain, Caleb opened the door. At this time, Eva’s breathing was much smoother and she no longer trembled.
When people were extremely angry, they would tremble or shed tears uncontrollably. This was an inevitable physiological reaction. Eva tried hard to restrain herself from crying in front of others, but when she faced Caleb alone, she put down all her disguises. Now, she was a fragile little girl.
“Where is here?” Eva looked at the dark environment, feeling a little surprised. There was a strong nasal tone in her voice.
“West Mallard Heights.” Caleb responded.
Looking at Eva’s thin dress, he took out a small blanket from the back seat and carefully wrapped it around Eva. In the mountain in late autumn, it was so cold. Eva’s beautiful dress couldn’t withdraw the cold wind.
“What are we doing here?” Eva was puzzled.
Caleb smiled, then cleared his throat softly, and explained in a low voice, “Take you to relax.”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Eva felt that Caleb’s smile was more dazzling than the moon hanging in the sky.
“Well.”
Eva didn’t ask any more questions, but stood quietly beside Caleb and looked into the distance with him.
In the distance was the most prosperous place of Hartvenport, where the lights were bright. The whistle of the ships sailing on the river could be vaguely heard, which was in sharp contrast with the tranquility of West Mallard Heights.
Eva looked at the lights in the distance. At this moment, every house’s lights turned on, but there was no light that belonged to her. Eva laughed self-deprecatingly. What hope did she have for the Sommers family? It was a mistake to come back without hesitation.
Caleb hugged Eva in his arms.
“My promises will always stand.” Caleb’s voice was low, making Eva touched.
“Including marrying me?”
“Yeah.” Caleb answered.
“Then I have to reconsider. I saw what you did tonight. I won’t make you wait for a long time.” Eva smiled.
Whether he was trying to comfort her or if he really meant it, she took it seriously.
But think about it, Mr. Livingstone actually knew how to comfort others? Besides, he actually said that he would marry her?
It could say those closely involved couldn’t see clearly.
“Then…” Eva had an idea.
“What?”
“Then I want Mr. Livingstone to pick that leaf for me.” Eva said with a smirk, pointing to a leaf on a towering tree in front of her.
She just wanted to make things difficult for him. Because she didn’t think he would really climb trees.
He said just now that he could promise her everything. Now, she just wanted to know whether he would keep promises.
Caleb just smiled, then walked to the tree, and asked Eva, “This one?”
“Yeah.” Eva nodded.
Then in the next second, Caleb raised his long arm and easily reached for the leaf.
Eva ignored Caleb’s height. He was close to 1. 9 meters tall, with long hands and feet. So he easily reached the height that Eva struggled to get.
Looking at Eva who was dumbfounded, Caleb was very happy, “What else do you want?”
“Nothing.” Eva blankly took the leaf that Caleb handed her, feeling very powerless. She just wanted to make fun of him, but it was easily dealt by him.
“Are you still feeling sad?” Caleb asked with his head lowered.
Eva stubbornly said, “I’m not sad.”
“Well, you’re not sad. So are you happy now?” Caleb continued.
“Yeah, I’m happy.” Eva nodded.
“But Mr. Livingstone, why are you so concerned about whether I’m happy or not?” Eva raised her eyebrows and learned Caleb’s usual questioning posture.
Caleb stared at Eva tightly. Then he said affectionately, “In order to prevent the future Mrs. Livingstone from hitting people casually for fun.”
This was what she said in the hotel just now. But Eva knew that he was kidding.
“Then what if I still want to hit someone?” Eva said deliberately.
Caleb held Eva’s hands, “Then arrange someone to hit them. You will get your hands dirty if you do it yourself.”
“Not bad! You know how to say sweet words. I thought you were a dull person with a low EQ.” Eva used her laugh to cover up her inner throbbing.
She fell for such a Caleb.
Even though her reason kept telling her to be calm. But when Caleb stood up for her at Westin Hotel, Eva felt that her heart no longer belonged to her. Such Caleb gradually let her step into his trap step by step, making her experience the feeling of being loved and cared for. She was no longer able to resist.
Everything she had told herself before fell apart in an instant at this moment.
