“I enjoy driving, but my work schedule doesn’t allow me to do it often.
"Where are we heading too?”
"Patience, darling, you will know it soon."
Eva smiled and realized they were heading out of town, as she admired the view.
Even though Eva was enjoying the moment, she couldn’t spend time with Michael, as he had already informed her about his departure.
Eva wished to spend some time with her father after completing the office work. But the unexpected visit of Stephen and looking at his excitement about this outing plan, she kept her wishes to herself, as she didn’t want to upset Stephen.
After a drive of almost two hours, the car hated it, and Stephen opened the door for Eva.
Eva stepped down and found them in front of a house, surrounded by a vast garden.
Eva gazed at Stephen in curiosity and Stephen answers her unasked question
“This is our farm house; come on, let’s go in."
Stephen held her close and started moving towards the house. On the way, Eva noticed the beautiful garden on either side. This one was much bigger than their smith mansion.
Seeing the different colors of roses and other flowers brought a smile to her face. Guessing the names of multiple flowers was beyond her ability.
Stephen kept gazing at her excitement in between his walks. Soon they reached the main door of the farmhouse. Stephen opened the door for her and the moment Eva entered inside the lavish living room, her eyes twinkled in joy and excitement
The Smith family, including Michael, Richard, and Robert, were all present. The others smiled warmly to welcome her.
Eva smiled more and then looked at Stephen, who asked her,
“Did you like the surprise?”
“I love it, thank you so much, but how...
“ I know you must be wishing to spend time with Michael, so we thought of arranging this get-together.' Eva thanked Stephens and then she rushed to hug her dad and then greeted Richard and Robert
They are having a wonderful time chatting and talking with each other. Stephen had already ordered the dinner from Richard’s restaurant.
Stephen was enjoying his drink with Richard and Steve while chatting with them
In between, he used to peek glances at Eva
Richard and Steve observed how his eyes would occasionally follow Eva.
“ Stephen, I think you should have dropped this idea to get together."
“Why? “
“ Look at you, man; you will not stop staring at her.
‘ It’s undeniable that he is completely smitten by Eva.” Steve supported Richard
“Well, that’s true. The moment I laid eyes on her, I knew I was in love. Right now, I’m looking at my wife, and I don’t care if there’s a problem.”
“Hmm, well, we are happy for you,’ Richard expressed his excitement. “You both look so much in love."
Stephen exhale a breath and told them
“I love her, but I’m still trying to understand her feelings for me.”
