Page 178 of My Tempting Woman

Maybe it’s you and your dad who influenced Stephen Smith to get hold of this property.

Tears brimmed in Eva’s eyes as she took hold of her emotions

“You can think whatever you like too, but I can just say that you are being a fool here. I can just wish you would catch the truth one day. “

Stating this, Eva left the cabin, and Mr. Miller followed her.

After the event occurred, Eva was upset all day thinking about how her life changed after arriving in LA

It was evening time when she entered the Smith mansion. The moment she arrived at the house, she saw the house helpers carrying out some luggage and settling it in a car.

She spotted Michael was busy talking to William and Rose. Eva also reached them.

“Good, you arrived on time, as I was just waiting for you. “

Eva noticed the surroundings and found Stephen stepping down the stairs. Before Stephen could reach Eva, Michael started with his words

I think I should leave now , Eva, dear. Take care of yourself and don’t trouble Stephen much.

Where are you going, and what’s happening here?

Michael shook his head. “I already told you last night that I want to return home now.

Eva gaped at her dad in astonishment, as Stephen told her he would agree with her dad to stay here

"No. How could you manage alone?”

“Eva, I think I already told you my decision and now I don’t want to discuss this anymore

“Dad..”

“Eva, he is not returning to that small town. Dad is going to stay in a nearby place. We can visit him whenever you wish and don’t worry. I already made the arrangements, so you don’t have to worry about anything. We should respect his wish too, “Stephen stated in his crisp tone

On which Eva understood this could be the last option, didn’t argue more. Knowing that her dad would be staying away from her all alone, especioption, sheen he needed her care, she didn't agree.

Michael signaled Eva to come close to him and soon took her in a warm hug. Eva sobbed in his arms but still wiped her tears

“Take care, dad, I will visit you soon. “Eva started with difficulty

Michael placed a kiss on her forehead, and then Michael bid his goodbyes to other family members. Soon after, he left the Smith mansion.

Eva was looking at the car, and still it got out of her sight. Stephen knew how hard it must be for her and to his bad luck, he could not even stay by her side for now as he has to attend an important business conference followed by dinner.

Stephen reached out to her and told her, “I have to leave for an important conference. I will have my dinner there only. So don’t wait for me to have your meal and take rest."

Hmm. “ Eva just gave a nod, as the day was not getting any better for her. She was expecting some comforting words fromStephen and also wanted to talk to him about Harry’s stunt in the office, but nothing was going according to her wishes.

Eva tried to calm herself and left for her room

At the dinner table, Eva was playing with her food, as she could not forget about Harry’s harsh words.

Rose William and Steve were noticing her face, so rose started her words

“ Don’t worry, Eva, Michael is fine there. I just talked to him. He already had his dinner. We tried to make him agree to stay here, but you know how stubborn he is.“

Eva gave a nod at her, but Steve was quick to tease his mother

“But mom, I think he left this place because of you."
