Moments later, the Smith brothers arrived at the table. They both also wished everyone got settled in their places. The girls could not resist gawking at them. Those two were looking more dashing in their casual wear as it was the weekend, so they were not wearing their formalwear.
. The three girls couldn’t stop themselves from checking out the hot male species Eva didn’t notice at first, but when she glanced at Madison, who was so lost in looking at them, she put her fork in the fruit first, then she dipped it in tomato sauce. Eva whispered her name, so Madison thought Eva was asking to feed Joey, so she took the fork and fed Joey with it. Joey was so lost in her world that she took a bite of it without even caring what and why Madison is feeding her? The moment she tastedit, she coughed hard, on which Eva told Sara to pass water to her but who she was kidding, as Sara was also lost in gaping at them. She passed the water to Madison, who drank it gladly
Eva had enough of this nonsense, so at last she coughed, and it worked. The three friends looked at Eva, who was already glaring at them
The three of them muttered a small sorry to her, but soon the secret conversation halted when they heard a chuckle as William, Stephen, Steve, and Michael all were laughing at their actions
Eva felt more embarrassed, and her friends felt bad, making Eva ashamed in front of a smith family
William started the conversation to lighten the mood. "It’s ok, dear; we are quite habitual of reactions from girls for our sons. So it’s perfectly fine."
Eva gave a grateful nod to William, but in reality, her friend’s behavior irritated her
Rose also tried to make them comfortable
“So I just want to inform you that today we are going out.”
“Out? But where and why?”
"Ooh, come on, Eva, don’t you want your friends to tour the city? I know that exploring the entire city is not possible in a day. But at least they could go to the famous malls of LA.
“Okay, I mean, but they are leaving tonight only, so we have to return home before dinner time. I mean, they will have to do some packing too
“Yes, yes, of course, and by the way, Steve and Stephen are also joining us today as it’s their off."
“Why? No … I mean, there is no need to take trouble for us; we will be fine with Rose. “ Eva oppose the idea only
"It's the weekend, Eva. Do you want me to work today too? “ Steve complained. Eva just shook her head in reply.
Eva’s mood spoiled listening to this information. Stephen was keenly noticing her; he understood why her mood had gotten off suddenly, so he gave her what she must be wishing for.
"Mom, you all go ahead with your plan. I will join you all later, as I have some important matters to attend to .“
Michael and William also denied going with them as they have to discuss something important with the lawyer
Eva was more relieved to know this and Stephen observed this too
Steve also declined to join them as he also wanted Eva to spend some fun time with their friends. So he went to meet some of his friends
The moment they left, William told Stephen to join Michael in the study room
Stephen was not expecting this, but he thought maybe they wanted to discuss something important the moment he entered the study room. Michael passed him a file and signaled Stephen to go through the papers
Stephen’s eyes got wide in surprise when he read the file. It was property papers and Eva was the owner of 55% of shares of Hudson Group
Stephen glanced at Michael in surprise. ‘ What is this? Hudson group, but why?
“Because Eva’s mother was the daughter and then only sister of Liam Hudson. As you know, Lisa and I married against her family’s will, so her family split up all ties with Lisa. But when Eva was born, Lisa’s father was on deathbed, so he called us and wanted to give Lisa’s share to her, but Lisa knew her brother’s real personality. She knows very well that if she accepts this property, then her brother will not even hesitate to kill all of us. So she refused to take this, but her dad made a secret. I came to know about this a year before when the lawyer to Mr. Hudson notified me about it, so as now Eva is 21 according to this will, she is the rightful owner of this possession.”
‘ I hope they will not be behind Eva’s life now. ‘ Stephen muttered
“Hmm, that’s the only thing that I am worried about. You know, when I got this transfer order, if I wanted, I would have let Eva stay at any of her friend’s homes, but I just don’t want to leave her alone, so I asked for help from your mother; that’s why Eva is staying here."
“You made a wise decision. Don’t worry, she is safe here, ‘William stated
“I know that, but I am worried for the future, as soon as Liam will also get notified about this and you know him well. He that, always kept hating Liza and was glad that she is no more the heir of their ancestral property, but now he will not keep quiet.”
Stephen was listening to all this with a stern face; the thought of someone hurting Eva was killing him already.
