Story: My Tempting Woman
Stephen's body posture became stiff. He hid his genuine expression, but now he was eager to know about this issue.
“What about her mom? She is doing fine, right? “ Steve asked in suspicion
"Yes, she is fine, but yesterday she told me something that made me disturbed. You know someone used to lock her door at night., knowing very well that she is habitual to eating something at midnight. Leaving someone for starving is a brutal act; it’s like a sin.
Stephen raised an eyebrow at her mother, wondering why Eva didn’t disclose the whole thing to his mother and why she didn’t mention the hamper that he used to place in her room. Why the hell is Eva lying? He never wanted Eva to starve. That’s why he took care that the food hamper should always be handy to her.
Steve didn’t reply. He knew who must have done that, but for now, he had to act surprised
“What? Is this possible, mom? After all, it’s our home. Then who has the guts to do this? Poor Eva, she used to stay hungry at night just because of someone’s fun.”
Stephen glared at Steve for his words, but the next moment, her words shocked both of them
“Don’t you act innocent, Steve? I know it’s you. That naive girl made you her friend, and what you did in return, you famished her, and what happens if an accident appears and how she will escape from a locked room?”
“What? No, I did nothing like this. I am not that cruel and stone-hearted. “ Again, Steve played with fire as Stephen kept glaring at him with a hard look
“What made you think we would believe you? At first I was upset with your Australia trip, but now I think it will be better that you stay away from home at least till Eva is staying here. trip,
Steve glared at Stephen; he was expecting some facts from him too. Rose noticed Steve’s attention towards Stephen, and she understood that Steve already knew about Stephen’s feelings towards Stephen.
Stephen's confession began, but it did not meet Rose's and William's expectations.
“Mom Steve did nothing. It was me who used to lock her door and unlock it in the early morning.
“You… but why and what is the need to do that? “
“Mom, you remember how she reached my room at midnight by mistake? Thankfully it was me, so she was safe. But what if she stumbled on the stairs or got into some big problem? She is our responsibility, so for her safety I used to lock her door, and you are wrong on one point. I don’t know why she didn’t tell you, but I used to arrange for a food hamper in her room so that she couldn’t starve. As I am not so cold-hearted or a sinner to make her starve."
“Ooh! So you are the one who arranges for that hamper. She told me that, but I want to hear from the culprit’s mouth, so I skip that part.”
Stephen perked an eyebrow at his mother
“Wow! Good to know, mom. You think saving a naive girl from getting into trouble and arranging food for her is a crime, as you are addressing your son as the culprit. I only did this for her safety
That’s all I have to say now. I am getting late. See you in the evening."
Stephen stated this in an icy voice and left for his office. Soon Steve also left for his work
William chuckled at his son’s smartness, which made Rose more furious. She expected that this interrogation will be fruitful and Stephen will accept his feelings for Eva, but he turned the table and name his feelings as care and love
But Rose was confident about one thing: how long is Stephen going to hide his genuine emotions from Eva? Soon he will come to her to share his genuine feelings
And she is ready to wait for that
Whereas in lunchtime, Stephen called Richard and Steve into his office
to discuss something
Steve was already furious with Stephen for concealing his true feelings for Eva from their mom
“Why don’t you tell mom and dad?”
“Yes, so that mom would start the preparation for my wedding. Don’t you know how over-excited and impatient she is? “
‘ So that’s even better. You must have told her, you know you missed a golden opportunity here, “Steve stated in a furious tone
Richard didn’t remark, as he wanted to know more about Stephen’s thought process
