CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery -
Chapter 342
She envied Nina for having such caring family members. She knew it was because she was Nina's friend that they treated her with such care.
"Come on, don't shed tears. A girl's tears are precious," Mr. Walker could not bear to see a girl cry.
But Eve could not stop.
Nina was the kind of person who easily empathized with others. She knew that Eve had no parents, only Grandpa George as her sole relative. Feeling sympathy, she wanted to introduce her to her own parents.
"Don't cry. Haven't you shed enough tears today?" Nina did not want to see her cry.
Eve wiped away her tears, sniffled, and hugged her milk tea. "Thank you, Mr. Walker and Mrs. Walker. I'll come again next time." Zion and Julia saw them off at the door. As Eve descended the stairs, she could not help but cry again. Nina handed her a tissue. Nash, on the other hand, remained indifferent. "If you cry like this, and your grandpa sees it, don't blame Nina for bullying you."
Nina was trying to comfort the girl, but Nash poured cold water on her.
"Come on, say a few less words. Don't make her cry for real," Nina said.
After all, tears shed from criticism might hurt more than those shed from being moved.
Eve wiped her nose with a tissue. "Nina is so gentle, but Nash, you should stop talking. I'll tell grandpa later that you bullied me."
Nash shrugged. "Do you think that'll work?"
No matter what she said, Nash would argue back. Eve felt a bit annoyed and looked at Nina. "Nina, look at him... he's so indifferent. How can you stand him?" Such a cold-hearted man would never appeal to her.
Nina said, "You drive. Send Eve home."
Nash had no choice but to start the car. "Okay."
Grandpa George was already quite anxious. Upon hearing that Eve had been bullied, he could not sit still. Fortunately, Nina protected her, which eased his mind.
He was very grateful to them. "Nina, thanks to you this time. How can I ever repay you?"
He genuinely liked Nina. Being Nash's wife, he naturally had a fondness for her. However, the fact that she protected his granddaughter and ended up getting hurt herself left him feeling guilty.
"It's okay, Grandpa George. Don't worry. Eve calls me sister-in-law. That makes us family. There's no need to feel bad about it," Nina reassured him.
Grandpa George looked at Eve, who was behaving herself now, and decided not to fuss anymore. "Do you appreciate your sister-in-law now?"
Eve, clutching the milk tea container in her arms, awkwardly replied, "Grandpa, I was wrong. I won't do that again in the future. I promise I won't become the kind of person you think I am."
Grandpa George sighed, feeling relieved. He only had Eve as his granddaughter and hoped she would be a person of integrity. The Gibson family had never produced any bad eggs.
"It's good that you understand. Don't waste your sister-in-law's efforts. What about your phone and bag? You took them with you when you went out, right? No wonder I could not reach you," Grandpa George said.
Eve thought about it. Her things were all at Stella's place but she did not explain this to Grandpa George.
After Nina and Nash dropped them off, they did not come inside. It was already late, so they drove back home.
The next day, before Eve even got out of bed, she heard a knock on the door. "Miss, someone is here to see you." Still half-asleep, Eve asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Eve," Stella was outside.
Eve immediately woke up and hurried to open the door. Early in the morning, Stella appeared at her house. "Why are you here?"
Stella handed her the things she had left at her place. "You left these with me yesterday. We were supposed to have dinner together, but you suddenly disappeared. I was worried, but since you're okay, I feel relieved now!"
