She meant well by talking to him. No matter how satisfied she was with him before, nothing mattered at the moment their marriage became a transaction. She wanted her daughter to be happy, not trapped in a loveless marriage.Nash did not pause his actions as he had expected what Mrs. Walker would say. He replied solemnly, “Mom, I’ll give you an answer.”Mrs. Walker said, “Nina also needs her happiness. I hope it won’t take too long.”Her words were clear. After divorce, with Nina’s qualities, she would find someone who genuinely liked her. They were getting older and they could not accompany Nina forever. If Nina wanted to find a good match, get married, and have children, she hoped no one would stand in her way.During dinner, the family was harmonious. Although Eve had eaten with many people before at her grandfather’s birthday or major holidays, it felt different this time.Mrs. Walker had heard from Nina that Eve had never been loved by her parents since she was young. As a mother, she could empathize, so she took special care of Eve.”Eat more dishes. You’re thinner than Nina. It’s better to be a little plump,” Mrs. Walker said, serving Eve some food.Eve quickly took the bowl and said, “Thank you, Mrs. Walker.”Mr. Walker said again, “Eve, treat our place as your own home. Don’t feel constrained. Next time you come over, just tell us what you like to eat, and we’ll make it for you.” Their care made Eve feel touched. She took a sip of her milk tea. Suddenly, she froze.Seeing her silence and odd expression, Nina asked, “What’s wrong? Is it not to your taste?”Eve shook her head. “No, Mrs. Walker, your milk tea tastes better than any I’ve had before. It feels like home.”Being praised, Mrs. Walker smiled. “Oh, that’s too high of a compliment.”Eve felt a lot of warmth at Nina’s house. Suddenly, she liked Nina even more.She understood now.Nina was born into such a warm family. How could she have bad intentions? She had been too trusting of others. Suddenly, she felt even more guilty towards her.Seeing Nina and Eve getting along well, Nash was also happy for her. Having one more friend is always better than having one more enemy.Afterwards, they had to leave. “Goodbye, Mr. Walker, Mrs. Walker. Thank you for your hospitality,” Eve did not expect them to value her so much.neoAlthough she had been the center of attention since childhood, it was different with this warmth. She also particularly liked Nina’s parents and politely bid them farewell. Mrs. Walker came out of the kitchen, carrying a paper bag. She was afraid they would leave, so she hurriedly handed it to Eve. “Take this back and enjoy it If you want more next time, just let me know, and I’ll bring it over.” Eve was pleasantly surprised. She realized Mrs. Walker had been busy in the kitchen making milk tea for her. Her eyes immediately welled up with tears.”What’s wrong? Why do you look like you’re about to cry?” Mrs. Walker noticed her red eyes.Eve was indeed about to cry. She wiped her eyes. “It’s nothing, just didn’t expect you to be so kind to me. I thought it was just a simple meal, but I didn’t expect to meet such good people, and you even gave me so much when I was leaving. To be honest, I kind of envy you, Nina.” Ads by PubFuture
