My Mommy Is A CEO

Chapter 957 A Promise That Is Difficult to Keep



“Someone lost a bet with me. Of course I have to get what I deserve on time.” Arthur smiled wickedly, and walked upstairs with Lucia in his arms.

Lucia’s face became even redder, and she swore around Arthur’s shoulder,

“Fool!”

After returning from Yhuemfield, although Eve felt that it was shameless to do so, she returned to the Dekee hotel with Lauren according to her sister’s arrangement, and lived in the presidential suite again. She thought she would never come back here when she left last time. So she packed everything away, and now standing in the middle of the room with the suitcase, Eve was dumbfounded.

“What are you thinking?” Just after entering the door, Lauren saw Eve standing blankly in the middle of the room with her suitcase, and teased her wickedly.

Eve was taken aback by Lauren, turned around and saw the smile on his face, and her head drooped again.

Why did Lauren suddenly return to the way it was before? He obviously ignored her all the time when he went home with them for the holiday. How could she know that Lauren had already forgotten the anger before because he was able to bring her back smoothly.

“Are you an ostrich?” Recently, the top of Eve’s head had been seen the most. Lauren frowned and raised her chin with his hand, forcing her to look at him. Unexpectedly, just as his eyes met, he found Eve’s eye sockets slightly red.

“What’s wrong?” Lauren asked anxiously.

Eve bit her lower lip aggrievedly, turned her head and broke away from Lauren’s hand, full of grievances in her heart and nowhere to vent.

Seeing Eve’s stubborn look, Lauren seemed to understand a little bit, and said casually, “Didn’t you agree to let me pretend to be your brother-in-law?”

Eve had something in her heart that she didn’t want to say, and she was afraid to say it.

But she didn’t let him get so close to her sister!

Seeing that Eve was still silent, Lauren crawled through his hair irritatedly. He was always straightforward and couldn’t stand the introverted Eve. Why didn’t she just say something?

Lauren was not introspective at all. If he was not self-willed and angry, how could Eve be so wronged?

Just when he was worried about what he could do with Eve, he didn’t expect Eve to speak by herself, but the voice was like a small mosquito’s.

“Do you like my sister?”

“What?” Lauren didn’t catch it.

Eve mustered up the courage to look at Lauren, and her voice was a little louder.

“Do you like my sister?”

Lauren laughed dumbfounded when he heard this. Eve was just whimsical, right?

“How can I like your sister!”

“Then you and her…” Eve moved her lips, really ashamed to say the word “intimacy”.

This time, Lauren understood. It turned out that Eve was concerned about the actions he and Nia made when they pretended to be a couple, but Lauren also felt very wronged. Did she think he was willing to do so?

Not good at explaining, Lauren chose to change the subject,

“Do you like the sea?”

Eve was stunned when the subject was changed dramatically in an instant. What did this have to do with the sea?

“When your condition improves in a few days, I’ll take you to see the sea.” Lauren said with a smile.

Eve stared blankly at Lauren, still unable to keep up with his thinking, but Lauren didn’t seem to care. He leaned over and whispered in her ear,

“That’s a deal.”

After speaking, Lauren simply left the room, leaving Eve alone in confusion.

Although the appointment was made, Eve’s body was getting worse and worse. In less than five days, the color on her face was gone. Lauren could only find Nia again.

After dialing the number she left for him last time, Lauren ran out of patience after waiting for a few seconds, but Nia also connected the phone at this time.

“Mr. Osade, it’s so rare that you would take the initiative to call me.”

“Stop talking nonsense,” Lauren said displeasedly, “Eve is not feeling well. Come over if it’s convenient for you.”

“Sorry, I really don’t have time right now.” Nia said awkwardly.

“That’s your sister. Do you have to wait until you’re free to save her?!” Lauren scolded angrily.

“Listen to my explanation,” Nia had always been patient with Lauren, and said slowly, “I’m not in Athegate right now, so there’s no way I can rush there immediately.”

Nia’s lie was a little too much, because she was lying comfortably on her own bed at this moment.

“Where are you?” Lauren asked immediately.

“Outside of city, I’ll be back in two days. Please take care of Eve first. She will be fine.” Nia said earnestly.

Lauren’s voice was muffled, and finally he could only say, “Come back as soon as possible.” Then he hung up the phone.

Nia had always been responsive to requests before. This time she couldn’t rush over immediately. Lauren clearly realized how important she was to Eve. Putting away his phone, he came to Eve’s bedroom, saw her sleepy on the bed, and felt even more worried.

“Your sister is out of town now, and she won’t be back until two days later. Can you hold on?” Lauren came to the bedside and asked Eve.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Eve didn’t answer, and kept staring at the scenery outside the window, as if there was her infinite yearning there.

“I really want to see the sea…”

Lauren felt a pain in his heart. It was obvious it was a feeling that caught him off guard.

“I couldn’t go to school when I was young, so I stayed at home and read books, you know? All big-hearted people have expectations for the sea,” Eve whispered while lying on the bed.

“So I can’t help but yearn for that piece of blue. I don’t know what it feels like to stand in front of the sea.”

“Don’t act like you left a last word.” Lauren was not a delicate person. Facing Eve’s confession, he can only respond in a rough but caring tone,

“Isn’t it just to watch the sea? We’ll go there as soon as you recover, and then I’ll let you sit by the sea every day and watch as much as you want!”

Eve was amused by Lauren’s words, but the arc of her lips looked so weak, and she still said,

“Mr. Osade, don’t worry. I’m like this when I’m not feeling well.”

Lauren frowned, and found that Eve’s forehead was covered with cold sweat. He picked up a towel on the bedside table and wiped her sweat. He looked down and saw that there seemed to be beads of sweat on her shoulders, so he helped her up. Unexpectedly, he found that her back was soaked.

“Is it hot?” Lauren asked.

“Cold.” Eve had already gotten used to it.

Lauren’s heart seemed to stop beating, and he wiped her sweat with a towel. At this time, Eve couldn’t tell how shy she was. She lowered her head and bowed her body so that Lauren could wipe her sweat. When he was looking at Eve’s slender neck, it seemed Lauren felt very uncomfortable as if it would break if he exerted a little force.

Health had always been taken for granted by him, and it never occurred to him that anyone could yearn for it.

“Mr. Osade?” Finding that Lauren’s movements had stopped, but his hand was still in the clothes behind her, Eve called him suspiciously.
