Chapter 1551 Home
Eva opened the door and walked into her apartment. Then, she suddenly saw a men’s suit on the sofa and couldn’t help tensing in fear at the sight. Who came to my house? Is there somebody in my house?
She was descending into a full-blown panic attack when she suddenly recalled that the security system of this community was one of the best in the area. There was no way anybody could enter her house that easily!
Just as her heart was threatening to jump out of her chest, she suddenly saw a figure emerging from the balcony and walking toward her. “You’re back.”
As soon as she saw this person, she yelled, “How did you enter my house?” It was none other than her employer, Louie.
“Don’t you know that the company has a copy of the key for all the houses that are allocated to you?”
She remained silent. Is that his reason for barging into my house? That’s so unreasonable!
“I told you I need to rest. Hurry up and return to your company!” After saying that, Eva put her luggage down and turned to walk toward her room so that she could get some rest.
However, at this very moment, Louie’s slender but firm arms circled her waist from behind. “I missed you. I missed you so much.”
Her body stiffened for several seconds, but a numbing current soon surged from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. His very aura was attracting her, so much so that all the cells in her body were reacting to him.
“Let go of me!” Eva struggled hard to free herself.
“I’m not letting go. You refused to come to my house, so I had no choice but to come to yours instead,” Louie said hoarsely.
He had to meet her today. Otherwise, he simply could not focus on anything else.
She spun around to face him, hoping to use her eyes to chase him away. Contrary to her expectations, she was captured by the deep affection in his eyes as soon as she made eye contact with him. She couldn’t bring herself to say any harsh words to him, so she could only beg him. “Please leave! I’m begging you!”
Be that as it may, he caressed her cheek and held her lower jaw gently. Lifting her face slightly, he planted a kiss on her lips. “I’m not going anywhere tonight. I’m going to stay right by your side.”
She closed her eyes in helplessness. His kiss made her entire heart tremble in response, and she couldn’t stop herself from hugging him tightly.
He leaned down and carried her, then he walked toward her bedroom. Her rebellious intention to resist his advances seemed almost pitifully ineffective in the face of this man.
…
At the Silverstein Residence.
The elders of the Silverstein Family happily welcomed their second daughter home. They had missed her terribly after not seeing her for an entire month. At the same time, they were also very welcoming toward Julian, who came home with her.
“Mr. Gilmore, thank you for taking care of Jessie during this period.”
“It’s nothing. It’s what I should have done.”
“I heard that you’re Nigel’s best friend, so you can already be regarded as family. We have troubled you greatly,” Brandon said.
Maggie held her daughter’s hand and pulled her daughter to the sofa. Then, she sat down and observed her daughter. “You’ve lost weight! You’ve lost weight again! You should take the time to increase your nutrition intake while you’re home these few days.”
“Mom, I didn’t lose any weight! I ate very well.” Jessie laughed. She was somebody who couldn’t gain weight no matter how much she ate. However, she had to control her food intake now that she was filming. “What about Queenie and Nigel?”
“They went to the wedding planner to prepare the final touches of their wedding. We’ll go out and have a lavish dinner tonight. Young Master Julian, please join us later!” Maggie invited.
Julian smiled and nodded. “Sure, Mrs. Silverstein.”
Lunch at the Silverstein Residence was a scrumptious feast. After Julian finished eating, he received a phone call from the company. There was an advertising contract that he needed to discuss, so he had to go back to the company for the discussion.
He ultimately had no choice but to leave early. When he was about to depart, Jessie walked him to the car. It felt as though they had spent an entire month together, so she felt a little reluctant to see him leave.
“Call me if there’s anything,” he said, seemingly reluctant to close the car window that was rolled down.
“Alright. Go on! I’ll see you tonight.” After seeing Julian off, Jessie went back inside to accompany her parents. Maggie had prepared many gifts for her, including jewelry and formal dresses. These were items that her mother had bought for her because they seemed to suit her well.
“Mom, I’m planning to visit the orphanage in the afternoon and bring some presents over for them.”
“We’ll go with you.”
“No need, Mom. I can go alone. I’ll be back after a short chat with the director of the orphanage.”
