"Vinton, I just want you to be fine. I don't care about anything else. In fact, it doesn't matter whether the
two people are together or not. As long as you are happy, I will be happy. As long as you live well, I will
also be happy for you," Eva said with tears in her eyes.
"I can't be happy without you. I know you lied to me on purpose. You still love me. You haven't forgotten
me. You said that on purpose to make me give up," said Vinton. If she didn't love him, she wouldn't cry,
and if she didn't love him, she wouldn't be so painful.
She was a straightforward woman who couldn't hide her feelings.
"Vinton, we are destined not to be together. I don't want anything to happen to you anymore. Let's be
good friends and watch each other establish a happy family and watch each other's children born and
grow up. If possible, we can make an engagement and let our children be together, just like we are
together." Eva tried hard to smile at him.
"Why should I accept my fate? The universe is unconscious, it regards everyone as insignificant. Why
should we listen to its arrangement? It takes away our fate, now we have to create it ourselves," Vinton
said through gritted teeth.
"Vinton, calm down. Cure your leg first, okay?" said Eva.
Vinton felt as if his heart was burnt by a hot iron.
He didn't want to accept his fate and marriage to be manipulated by God. How much he hoped that
Eva could be as determined as he was, but now he found that he was wrong.
Without his firmness, Eva had surrendered, wavered and accepted her fate completely.
"Are you in love with Jim?" he asked, gritting his teeth.
"Jim is nice to me. I'm happy to be with him," said Eva.
"So you don't want to leave him and come back to me, do you? You have to forget all our previous
feelings and bury them, right?" Vinton roared. His beautiful thick eyebrows twisted into a ferocious ball.
"You can take it as a yes. You can think that I have changed my mind. I am a bad woman. I don't
deserve your care. I don't deserve your love. Forget me," she said painfully.
"I don't believe it, Eva. I know what kind of person you are. Even if you have feelings for Jim, you won't
forget me, nor will you have no feelings for me at all," Vinton said painfully.
"Vinton, I heard that your wife is very good. She is young, beautiful, lively and lovely. She is a noble
woman in Country F. She is much better than me. You should settle down and live a good life with her.
And she is pregnant. You are about to have a baby. Children need to live in a stable family. Only when
you two love each other can the baby grow up healthily."
Eva said slowly, "You should know that I was born from a single parent family. The most painful thing in
my life is that I lost my father's love since childhood. My father married another woman, abandoned my
mother, abandoned me and Jade. I hate him. I hate him till now. I won't forgive him, never, and I won't
forgive the woman who destroyed my family as a mistress."
"If we get back together, your child will repeat my tragedy. He will grow up in a single parent family.
Without his father or mother's care, he would hate me, hate me for taking away his complete family and
his father. His little heart will have an indelible shadow."
"Vinton, I can't do that. I can't be the woman I hate most. You can't do that. In my heart, you are a
responsible man who can be a good husband and a good father. Love Ingrid and your child. Give them
a complete family."
"Are you unwilling to start over with me because of Ingrid and the baby?" Vinton's eyes lit up, and
suddenly there seemed to be hope. "Eva, you should know that I was forced. I don't love her at all. I
want to get rid of her after I come back."
"Vinton, you can't do this. After all, she saved your life. And that was just one of the reasons. Maybe I
will have a child and be a mother too." She reached out her hand and touched her still flat belly, as if a
baby was starting to be born in it.
"I'm a woman. Women can do anything for their children. I can't let my child follow my example and
repeat my tragedy. I will give him a complete family and give him the love of his parents. So I can only
be sorry for you in this life. If there is a next life, I will wait for you and be your wife. You will be the only
one in my life, okay?"
Vinton was in great pain. What he wanted was this life, not the next life.
"Eva, I have made up my mind. We can live together with our child. We can treat them as our own
children and establish a complete family for them. They will still be happy."
"That's impossible, Vinton." Eva shook her head. This idea was simply unrealistic.
"Children have their own parents. How can they treat their stepparents as their own parents? Your Xu
family is the best example, isn't it? Has your mother ever been kind to Alice and Essie? Did Valery get
along well with them?"
"I'm not my mother, and I'm not Valery either. I'll treat your child well. I will be a good father. I will spoil
and love her very much," said Vinton.
"Vinton, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I betrayed you. I'm a bad woman. Don't waste your love on me
anymore," Eva said painfully. Her heart had been torn into pieces, which could not be pieced together.
Vinton clenched his fists and smashed them on the table. He hated it so much!
Of course, he didn't hate Eva. It was God who made fun of them, and Jim who took her away!
He knew that her heart had been haunted by the shadow of childhood, so she could not accept to
abandon the child and rebuild a family with him, nor could she accept to let the child lose his father or
mother.
If he couldn't deal with this problem well, they wouldn't be together.
"Eva, wait for me. Give me some time. I'll come up with a perfect idea to deal with this problem," he
said in a low voice.
Coming out of the cafe, Eva almost collapsed.
Jim was waiting for her in the car outside.
Seeing her pale face, he walked out and held her.
"Let's go back." He didn't ask anything and helped her get in the car.
Vinton looked at them through the glass window upstairs, and a hint of malicious jealousy quietly
flashed through his eyes.
Back to the villa, Eva lay on the sofa with a pillow in her arms, staring blankly at the ceiling, without
saying a word.
"Does Vinton still want to get back together?" sitting next to him, Jim asked.
"It's impossible between me and Vinton. He has been married and has a child. It is impossible for me to
be a mistress," said Eva in a low voice.
"Just because of this?" Jim raised his eyebrows and felt a little disappointed.
"What else do you want?" Eva turned to him and asked deliberately.
"It doesn't matter. As long as you make the right choice, lest to force me to make the choice for you."
Jim shrugged his shoulders and looked disappointed.
Eva looked at him and said, "If Vinton is not married and has no children, I may have a hard choice and
suffer a lot. But now everything seemed to be simple. I don't like to be trapped in a love triangle. If I
come back to Vinton, we will face countless problems and troubles. It's much easier to be with you. You
have broken up with Janice, and there is no mistress between us. So I can rest assured to be with
you."
"Your brain has really evolved. You are getting soberer and smarter." Jim smiled.
"I'm a public figure. If the love triangle between me, Vinton and Ingrid is spread out, I'm afraid that the
paparazzi will write a long soap opera, right?" Eva laughed at herself.
"It is good that you know." Jim smiled and stroked her head. She was worth teaching.
"Are you satisfied now?" Eva glared at him.
"You've passed the test, or I'll teach you a good lesson tonight and let you know who is your man," Jim
said with a smile.
After returning home, Vinton was wasted. He was in great pain. His heart seemed to be stabbed into by
a knife, constantly twisting and stirring. Only the alcohol could relieve his pain, or he would definitely
die of pain.
Ingrid was also sad to see him like this.
"Vinton, did you quarrel with your fiancee?"
"It's all your fault. It's all your fault. Without you, I wouldn't have lost Eva. I would rather die in the
tsunami, so that she would remember me forever and I wouldn't be so sad," Vinton said resentfully.
Ingrid cried, "I'm sorry, Vinton. I'm so sorry."
She decided to have a talk with Eva and let her come back to Vinton.
Eva had thought that she was here to show off and warn her.
As soon as Vinton came back, Essie reminded her to be aware of Ingrid. 'Like father, like daughter.' Her
father was so mean, and she might not be better.
"What do you want from me?" She asked indifferently, and the defensive power increased secretly.
"I heard that you are a star. You must be very powerful and excellent," said Ingrid.
She even tried to cotton up to her at the beginning. It seemed that she was a scheming bitch.
Eva thought to herself.
"Are you afraid that I will take Vinton away from you?" She didn't want to beat around the bush with
her.
