Free Web NovelChapter 1154: Chapter 1150: I Hope You Stand by My Side
Luke Land arrived as quickly as possible, exchanging a glance with Asher Land before directing his gaze to Eva Miller standing in the corner.
"Little Chili, come back with me."
Eva Miller said nothing, simply hiding behind Sophie Smith.
"Second brother,..." Sophie hesitated for a moment, ultimately deciding to speak up, "Can Eva stay with me tonight?"
"No." Before Luke could say anything, Asher Land interrupted.
"Asher, what are you interfering for?" Sophie pouted and gave him an annoyed glance.
No matter what, Eva refused to go back with Luke alone. There was no other choice; both Eva and Luke had to stay there for the night.
Sophie kicked Asher out of the master bedroom. Eva was in the bathroom taking a shower. Sophie waited for her a long time before she came out.
She had on only a white towel, a small strand of hair by her ear was wet, and seeing this, Sophie quickly fetched the hairdryer.
"Eva, let me dry your hair." freёwebnovel.com
"I’ll do it myself." Eva took the hairdryer, her voice low and deep. If you knew the old Eva well enough, you’d know how unusual she was acting now.
"Eva,..."
"Sophie, don’t say anything." Eva took a deep breath, "I want a divorce from him, I want to get rid of the child, I..."
Eva’s voice choked with emotion, her eyes reddening from holding back her frustration.
"You can’t. The baby... the baby can’t be aborted." Sophie sighed deeply; the baby was already five months along, and an abortion would be harmful to her body.
"Do you expect me to keep Luke Land’s child, huh, how could I..." Eva seemed to be talking to herself or speaking for Sophie to hear.
"Things aren’t as bad as you imagine." Sophie approached Eva, her expression a bit more serious, "Eva, my second brother treats you well; why won’t you try to accept him? He could be a qualified husband and father."
"Sophie." Eva laughed softly, a hint of self-mockery curling her lips. Asher helped Luke ’scheme’ against her, and now it was clear Sophie was siding with the Land brothers, leaving her feeling utterly isolated, "You’re my best friend, I trust you, rely on you, so I hope you can stand by me."
So, her meaning was, to watch her get a divorce, to watch her get rid of the child...
No, she couldn’t do it.
The two were usually inseparable friends, but at this moment, standing together felt strangely distant.
Sophie couldn’t say anything more, thinking that Eva had only just learned the news today and couldn’t accept it right away. She decided to give it some time before persuading her again.
...
Downstairs, neither Asher nor Luke seemed in the mood to sleep. Accompanied by smoke and liquor, after a while of silence, Asher finally spoke.
"What do you plan to do about Eva Miller?"
Luke exhaled a puff of smoke, frowning slightly. The usually carefree-looking Luke was now visibly troubled, a rare sight.
"What else can I do? Just keep a closer watch, huh." His lips curled deeper into a sarcastic smile, "Who knows, if she ever escapes from under my nose, she and the child might disappear from my sight forever."
