Chapter 1402 Gaslighting Jayden had always been like this. When someone criticized her in person, he didnât say anything, but he apologized later at a suitable time. And the excuses he came up with were always so reasonable, making Eva wonder if sheâs being too suspicious.
Later, Eva learned that itâs called gaslighting, but at the moment, she didnât know. She just thought that Jayden finally helped herâ¦
Natalie was afraid that Eva wouldnât have enough to eat, so she ordered two more dishes for her. While serving the food, Natalie smiled and asked, âMiss Miller, when do you plan to get married? My family wants to prepare in advance.â
Eva lifted her clear eyes and looked at Natalie and Martin. âUncle and Aunt, I havenât been dating Jayden for long. We still donât know much about each otherâs personalities, values, and thoughts. I want to spend more time together and talk about marriage later.â
Eva could tell that Jaydenâs parents didnât think highly of her. Coincidentally, because of their previous conflicts, she also had no intention of getting married. She planned to listen to Ameliaâs advice and take more time to see if they were Rushing into marriage would be too late if they discovered it wasnât right.
Hearing this, Natalie was still quite happy, but it was Eva who rejected the proposal first, which made her feel protective of her son. âMiss Miller, Jayden has had a crush on you since high school. Isnât all this time enough to understand each other?â
Eva responded gracefully with a bright smile. âJayden understanding of me is certainly enough, but my understanding of him is only a little over two months.â
Natalie and Martin felt awkward, and Eva didnât care about their feelings. She just smiled and looked at Jayden. âSenior, what do you think?â
If it werenât for Paul, Eva probably would have agreed right away. Jayden instantly felt a bit more resentment towards Paul, but he didnât show it. Instead, he graciously picked out the fish bones, put the fish slices on Evaâs plate, and said, âTake as much time as you want to talk. Iâll listen to you.â
Relieved that she wasnât being pressured into marriage, Eva let out a sigh of relief. She didnât even realize that she had become more cheerful while eating.
After the four of them left the restaurant, Anthony raised his hand and reached for his phone. âIâll edit this recording when I get back and send it to Miss Miller.â
The man next to him gave him a cold glance. âDonât meddle in other peopleâs business.â
Anthony, who had put his phone in his suit pocket, suddenly paused. âPaul, are you saying you donât plan to get involved in Miss Millerâs affairs?â
