Eva couldnât change the past, but she could make sure she wouldnât do anything that would make her regret in the future.
âMrs. Evans, if I marry him, I wonât treat him the way I did before. I will give him everything and love him wholeheartedly. Iâll cherish him, protect him, and never betray him.â
When Eva said those, she was sincere. After all, she took relationships seriously. She devoted herself to her ex-husband, and even to Jayden, she believed that if she agreed to be someoneâs girlfriend, she had to fulfill her promise. Not to mention Paul, who was different in her heart. So if they were to get married, she would definitely treat him better.
Seeing that Eva wasnât giving up, Kate changed her approach. âActually, my son Paul isnât that great.
He used to be a playboy, surrounded by scandals. But that was before he met you. After being with you, he has changed a lot. At least he hasnât been involved in any scandals frequently. I appreciate you for that. But are you willing to bet?â
Sitting on the couch with her back against it, Kate suddenly sat up straight. She placed her fair hands on the table, palms together, and looked directly into Evaâs eyes with a calm and serious expression.
âHe was spoiled by us since childhood. He always wants to get what he desires immediately, just like when he wanted to marry Elsie back then. He made a big fuss, but soon after, he got tired of it and didnât want to marry her anymore. Can you guarantee that if he suddenly proposes to you now, itâs not just a momentary impulse?â
Kate knew the hidden truth about Elsic, but intentionally said this to make Eva give up. She had investigated Eva and knew that she had given everything to her ex-husband, only to be betrayed.
She knew that women who had experienced such things would naturally be more cautious in handling relationships and marriages. Kate hit Evaâs softest spot, and no one knew Paul better than his own mother. Even his mother thought it was just a momentary impulse, so Eva naturally was scared.
She had also wondered if Paul only wanted to marry her out of a sense of responsibility after they slept together. But when she was in danger, Paul silently stood by her side. He should want to marry her because he loved her, right?
However, Elsie was Paulâs first love, a fleeting romance. It was said that back then, he caused a lot of trouble for the Evans Family just to marry her. Would he treat Eva the same way?
Later on, Paul fell out of love, just as Kate said. He got tired of it and didnât want to marry anymore.
Would he be like that with her too?
When Evaâs mind was in chaos, Kate lightly tapped the table. âMs. Miller, based on my understanding of my son, if he proposes to you now, itâs definitely just a momentary impulse.
And when he gets tired of it later, he might want to divorce again. Instead of that, youâd better cut off his thoughts first to avoid experiencing another betrayal.â
Kate was quite formidable. With just a few words, she could guide Eva to give up. But Eva felt that even if she wanted to give up, it should be Paul himself who said he didnât want to marry, not her cutting off his thoughts.
She didnât want to be the bad person in this situation, so she gritted her teeth and refused. âMrs. Evans, Iâm sorry, I donât have the power to influence his thoughts like that.â
When Kate heard her say this, she smiled again. âMs. Miller, Iâm offering you a trade. Iâm sure youâre not interested, after all, you donât lack money, and certainly not Paulâs loveâ¦â
Kate reached out with her well-groomed hand and grabbed Evaâs hand, holding it gently in her palm and patting it softly.
âMs. Miller, if you let change Paulâs mind, I will guarantee the success of your career. It will thrive endlessly. If you canât do it, well, I might have to do something myself. Of course, I wonât go as far as to make you go bankrupt. After all, youâre Ameliaâs friend, and I wonât do that out of respect for her. But I can make your life difficult.â
After witnessing Kateâs abilities, Eva felt even more sympathetic towards Anthony. âMrs. Evans, no wonder Edith and Anthony broke up. With a mother like you, itâs impossible for them to stay together.â
Using gentle-methods to hit someoneâs weak spot and using force to cut off their path, wasnât that how Anthony was threatened back then?
