Chapter 1550 Back to Averna
Would the baby look like him? Or would it look like me? Would it be a boy? Or a girl? In any case, Queenie was not stressed by her pregnancy and she simply wanted to naturally welcome her first baby into the world.
In that way, the date of the wedding gradually approached with only one more week to go.
The elders of the Silverstein Family were living on cloud nine. They used to be very worried about the person whom their daughter was going to marry, but there was nothing for them to worry about now.
On the side of the filming crew, Jessie was also looking forward to going home to attend the wedding. In the blink of an eye, she had already been filming for nearly a month.
Three days later, she and Julian both applied for leave so that they could step away from the filming crew to attend the wedding. As bridesmaids and groomsmen, they had to be prepared for the wedding.
Eva finished filming her role two days later. She had shortened the filming time because she wanted to complete her scenes earlier and return to Averna as soon as possible.
Three days later, Julian arranged for his brother’s private plane to come over. Then, the three of them boarded the plane and headed to Averna together.
On the plane, Jessie discovered that Eva was gloomy and unhappy. She had heard from Julian that Louie had an engagement that had yet to be dissolved.
“Eva, why don’t you eat something?” Jessie sat opposite Eva.
“Thanks, Jessie. I can’t stomach anything at the moment.” Eva shook her head.
“What are your plans for the future?” Jessie asked.
Eva considered the question for a moment, after which she shook her head. “I guess I’ll rest first! I’ve been feeling tired recently. Let’s go out for afternoon tea and dinner if we have the time.”
“Sure, that’s a great idea.” Jessie was elated to have made a friend like Eva. It was something she would never even have dared to imagine in the past.
When the plane landed, two cars came over to pick them up. One car was there to bring Jessie and Julian back to the Silverstein Residence while the other car was there to bring Eva home.
Jessie received a phone call from her mother while she was on the road. It had been a month since she last saw her parents, so they missed her badly. They initially wanted to visit her at work, but she had not allowed them to visit since she wanted them to focus on her sister’s wedding first.
She then informed the man beside her. “My mother said that she has prepared a feast and invited you over to our house for lunch.”
“Okay!” Julian nodded, not bothering to be reserved.
“Let’s maintain some distance when we reach my home, okay?” Jessie suggested.
“Why?” He frowned.
She shyly explained, “It’s embarrassing.” She couldn’t shake the feeling that getting into a relationship with Julian so quickly seemed to indicate that she had used some sort of underhanded means to win him over. Therefore, it was better if their relationship had progressed slowly.
Julian immediately saw through her thoughts. Although he was both angry and amused by her antics, he could only respect her decision. “Alright, fine. We’re just normal friends. Is that okay?”
“Yeah, okay.” Jessie nodded, feeling happy.
Just as Eva’s car entered the highway off the airport, she received a phone call from Louie. “Hello?”
“Come to my house.” The man’s deep and hoarse voice was pleading with her.
“I’m tired, and I want to rest at home. Let’s not meet each other for the next few days.” She refused his request and suggested, “You should prepare the documents for the contract termination.”
“Are you still thinking about terminating your contract?”
“No matter how far our relationship progresses, the termination of my contract will not be delayed. I want to terminate the contract. You need to keep to your word,” she replied seriously.
“Come to my house and talk.”
“Forget it! I will discuss the termination of my contract with the legal department myself! You can focus on your own work.”
“Without my consent, they won’t even bother to talk to you in the first place,” the man on the other end of the phone responded forcefully.
Eva paused for a moment before she asked, “Can you be reasonable? Do you want me to sue you in court? Will that finally make you happy?”
“Can you bring yourself to sue me?”
“If I have to take that step, then I will definitely go ahead and sue you.” She was not joking around with Louie.
He sighed and cursed softly. “What a heartless person.”
Despite listening to such doting words, she felt a sense of bitterness inside her heart. She told the man on the other side of the phone, “I’m hanging up. Don’t call me if there’s nothing important.”
Eva returned to her apartment, which was a large and luxurious unit in an excellent location that had been allocated to her by the company.
She sent her assistant, Linda, back to rest. Then, she walked from the elevator to the door of her apartment. It had been a long time since she came back, so it was fortunate that she had servants coming to clean her apartment at regular intervals.
