“ What do you mean? “

“ Everyone is well aware of the Hudson family’s intentions and Michael’s reason for choosing me for Eva. Our marriage was an arranged one , and she married me to fulfill her dad’s wish. It took a considerable amount of time for her to become at ease with me.

“ It’s quite clear that you’re rude, and Eva is soft-hearted.” Steve commented to tease Stephen

’Shut up, you idiot. I always behave softly with her.”

“You wish.’.

“Steve “

“Will you both stop this stupid bantering and Stephen? What made you think she didn’t have the same feeling for you? She said something to you: “

“ No.. Actually, that’s another problem: she doesn’t share her thoughts with me. ‘ Stephen gave a look at Eva, who was busy chatting with her dad.

“Look at her—how she is enjoying her dad’s company. She is comfortable around everyone in the family; even she talks with Samantha and you too, but with me she hesitates a lot.

I am sure she doesn’t love me.

"Relax,give her some more time. Everything will be fine with time .“

“ Yes, he is right and I am not agreeing with you, as I know she loves you

“Really, and what made you think like that?”

“I know and I can prove it—I mean, if you want."

“Hmm, and how are you planning to prove this?” Richard inquired,

“I will, but for that, Stephen has to keep consenting with me. I will handle the other things.”

Richard gave a look at Steve and then at Stephen.

Sorry but not interested in your silly games

“Despite everything, I have confidence in him regarding this. Stephen, I think you should give him a chance; after all, experience counts.”

“Richard, as you don’t know him? I don’t know what he will prove , but he can get me divorced

“ Stephen, come on.”

“ Let it be Richard; it scared him to know the actual feelings of Eva. But I am telling you both that she loves him too."

Richard signaled Stephen to agree with Steve, and Stephen had to give in on this request.

Ok “

Steve smiled at his reply and forwarded his glass

“So let’s begin the game."

Richard laughed while Stephen let out a sigh, but they still toasted with him.

It was dinner time when everyone was enjoying the dinner and praising the food.

Suddenly Steve asked Stephen,

“ Stephen, tomorrow is an important day for you, right? You must be excited, but not as much as me.”
