Michael gave a consistent smile at his naïve daughter. He held her hand and made her settle on a couch. Eva was getting more confused before she started with her questions. Michael stated with his words
“Listen to me, dear; today there was a problem on the site, and I have to get there soon.”
“But we are going home. You promised me you were taking me home. I..”
“Eva, I have some work ethics and commitments, too. I cannot leave my work without informing them about my sudden change in plans. “
“Ok, I can understand. Don’t worry; carry on. I will start at home tomorrow, and I will stay with Sara until you return.”
“No, that’s not happening. I already told you I will not leave you alone there until I complete my work and inform my seniors about my decision. You are going to stay here only."
Eva’s eyes welled up with tears. Michael’s words broke her heart this time, as she was very excited to return home. But now her dad was again leaving her alone here in the south mansion.
Michael was heartbroken, looking at his upset, precious daughter, but he had no option because he was sure that Ilam would definitely try to hurt Eva once they informed him about the will.
Rose noticed the atmosphere, so she reached near Eva and held her hand.
“Eva, your dad is just going for some days; then he will take you for sure.”
Eva just gave a nod at Rose, but her tears started dampening her cheeks.
Stephen was looking at the scene with a distant gaze as he was just busy assuming how hard it will be for Eva to leave her father after the wedding, but he can easily find a solution for this problem too. After all, he doesn’t want to see his woman upset.
Michael knew his Princess was angry with him if he tried to convince her now and then she will burst into tears and he didn’t want to see that, so he quickly made an excuse for flight Timings
He bid goodbye to Rose and William. Stephen and Steve were going to drop him at the airport. At last, he hugged his daughter, who started sobbing in his embrace.
Michael blinked his eyes to stop his tears from falling
“I will take you soon, dear."
Eva just nodded. ”Take care, dad."
“Youdear."
. Soon Michael left for the airport, And Eva couldn’t hold her sobs any more. William held her close and Eva started sobbing in andrms too, whereas William kept patting on her head
Eva broke the hug and mumbled a small sorry
“It’s ok, dear; we can understand, but I really don’t know that we are so unhappy to stay here with us. Of course, we have given a potent reason for that, isn’t it?”
“No, it’s not that. Please don’t say that. I am sorry for behaving like this; it’s just that I miss my home a lot.
Wiliam chuckled. ‘’ I know that, dear. I was just teasing you now. It’s already late, so just go to your room and take a rest.”
Eva wished the smith couple goodnight and left for her room
Rose inquired, “in all this, Michael didn’t get the time to talk to her about that.“
“Yeah, I know, but he will be back in fifteen days, and then he will definitely discuss it with her. I told the lawyer to wait for some days."
“Till then we have to increase security around her."
“Don’t worry about that, as Stephen will do it perfectly. After all, she is going to be his wife, so he will do his best to protect her."
“What? Do you mean Michael agreed?”
“Yes, he did, and not only did he discuss it with Stephen too, you missed his reaction. He was on cloud nine. Today I never saw my son so happy."
