Chapter 487 – Twisted Heart
Isla noticed Eva’s difference and followed her gaze before she spotted Caleb’s figure, and was about to open her mouth to say hello to Caleb when she was stopped by Eva.
“Mom, let’s go back.” Eva said softly, her eyes retracting from Caleb.
The driver drove the two back to Rosenfeld Hill.
Isla thought Eva was worried about delaying Caleb’s work, so she didn’t say hello to Caleb, but she knew Eva was angry and jealous.
Even Isla didn’t think much of Caleb when she saw him eating with other women, but Eva took it to heart.
Two packed meals lying quietly in the trash at Rosenfeld Hill …
Caleb had to go home early to spend time with Eva and compressed his day’s work into half a day.
He came back when Eva was still napping, Eva every nap can sleep for a small half day, but also by him once called “piggy”, for which Eva also and he gave birth to two weather.
“Mom, how is Eva today, is her appetite okay?” Caleb couldn’t bear to disturb Eva and made small talk with Isla downstairs.
As long as he was not with Eva, he would come home and understand the state of Eva’s day, wondering what Eva’s mood was for the day, or what had happened.
“Pretty good, I ate a lot at lunch, my appetite is good and my mood is good.” Isla said with a smile.
The two talked for a while before Caleb went back upstairs to be with Eva, who was asleep.
Caleb sat on the edge of the bed and watched Eva’s sleeping face. Even if it was just this quiet company, Caleb could feel the happiness.
“Awake? Are you thirsty?” As soon as Eva opened her eyes, she saw Caleb beside her and Caleb’s question came to her ears.
Eva quietly looked at the glass of water handed over by Caleb, not taking it and not saying anything.
“What’s wrong?” Caleb asked softly as he watched Eva’s movements.
Just now Isla said Eva is in a good mood today, how come she’s in a mood after a nap?
“It’s okay, I’m not thirsty.” Eva replied, her eyes fixed on Caleb, as if she wanted to see something on Caleb’s face.
She looked at Caleb and remembered the image of him with another woman at noon and felt her head buzzing.
“Was it a bad dream?” Caleb asked caringly as he looked at Eva, who had woken up in a decidedly different mood.
“You …” Eva wanted to ask Caleb about today’s noon, but hesitated for fear of hearing an answer she didn’t want to hear.
Especially Eva suddenly thought of last night, so long Caleb must be suffocating, and then look down at their own fat body, round face, Eva more afraid to ask.
If it was really like what she thought, then what should she do?
“It’s okay, I’m hungry.” Eva said and got up and got out of bed and went downstairs to eat.
“Be careful, walk slowly.” Caleb was holding on by his side, afraid that Eva would walk too fast and fall down.
At the dinner table, Eva kept to herself and ate, occasionally answering a word or two from Caleb.
The atmosphere was a bit strange, Caleb didn’t think much of it, just thought Eva was emotionally unstable, since Eva’s mood has changed a lot since she got pregnant, Caleb thought this time was the same as the original, and didn’t take it particularly to heart.
Eva has something in mind not to say, Caleb also can not guess, not to mention that Eva is misunderstood, the two seem to be separated by a river, no longer as close as before.
On the other hand, Adam has been back home with Meredith for some time, and Wendy and her husband have returned from a business trip and can’t wait to meet their daughter-in-law.
The family met at the hotel, and by the time Caleb and Eva got there, the others were almost there.
Meredith called out well behaved, a group of elders happy, of course the most happy or Wendy, the more you look at Ye Chen the more satisfied you feel.
Irene’s vision is still very good, at first Irene various praise Meredith, now look really true.
“And today, it’s great to have everyone together again to celebrate another new member of our family.” Wendy spoke happily.
Meredith sat with a shy face next to her, her hand under the table kept tightly held by Adam.
Meredith was so apprehensive that she almost ran away before entering the hotel, her palms sweating with nerves at the thought of meeting Adam’s dad and mom.
Now I see that the family still gets along quite well, and my heart just dropped.
During the meal, Adam took good care of Meredith, making Eva sitting across from him envious. Caleb was talking to the elders next to her, and although he also gave her food, he was still squirming.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Any little thing is magnified in Eva’s case, such as what happened at the dinner table today.
Eva came home and sat on the sofa with an envious face, “Adam and Meredith are really sweet.”
What Eva didn’t know was that she was envious of Meredith and Meredith was envious of her.
“Envious of others?” Caleb asked with a smile, completely oblivious to the fact that there was a hint of sadness and loss in Eva’s tone, in addition to envy.
“Just envious, it’s so nice that she can have such a dedicated relationship.” Eva looked at Caleb steadily and suddenly said.
“What do you mean? Am I not emotionally exclusive?” Caleb deliberately asked when he heard Eva’s words.
Caleb feels that he and Eva are the ones who should be envied, not the ones who should be envious of others.
“Dedicated or not, you know yourself.” Eva threw down a sentence and got up to leave, leaving Caleb alone in the living room with a bewildered look on his face, not knowing what was going on.
Caleb thought back on everything that had happened today and couldn’t figure out exactly why Eva was losing her temper.
Eva is just squirming in her heart, looking at Adam and Meredith’s sweet look, she thought of Caleb dating another woman, and this contrast is even more difficult for Eva, and when she returned home, she couldn’t help but play in front of Caleb to make her presence felt.
“What’s going on here?” Isla had just come in to see Eva leaving with an unhappy look on her face.
“I’m not really sure.” Caleb replied with a bitter smile, he thought for half a day, but did not have a little bit of eyebrows.
“Maybe it’s because of the pregnancy, pregnant women are unstable, you just take it easy.” Isla comforted Caleb, she knew exactly how Caleb treated Eva, and Caleb couldn’t bully Eva.
“I know, Mom, I won’t take it to heart.” Caleb also knows that pregnant women are not easy, mood changes and all are normal, and did not take this matter to heart.
He also worried that Eva’s emotions were too great to affect her body, although he did not know what he did wrong, or decided to coax it first.
