Page 84 of My Tempting Woman

That day, when Eva kept ignoring him in the amusement park, he messaged the media persons of Mrs. White to follow him. However, when Mrs. White found out about this, she didn't believe it and considered it a fake lead. As a result, she decided to personally check and went to the restaurant that her men had messaged her about. Stephen's presence with a young woman surprised Mrs. Monica White. She immediately got in touch with her most reliable journalists, who were stationed nearby the restaurant. She gave them explicit instructions regarding their next course of action. As soon as Stephen and Eva emerged from the restaurant, an opportune moment presented itself.

"What are your people doing at her classes? Didn’t I already tell you to stop this news as I needed no more news?"

“Sorry to say but it’s not in my hands anymore than the media that were present outside the college belong to different media houses

And I cannot control them. You know how many people wanted to know about you and about your love life, so how could I stop them?”

Stephen understood that talking with her was of no use shortly after he left the restaurant.

It was dinner time when he reached his house. After getting fresh, he reached to the dining room

When he reached the dining room, he only found his family present there, but he couldn’t find Eva there. And he found his mom was glaring at her

“What? “ Stephen Inquired

“You were harsh to her."

“ Really! You know, mom, if my man had not informed me about the media's arrival beforehand, then what could have happened to her? She should act maturely some times.""

Rose took a deep breath to call her anger and then started with her words in stern words

“Well, she is much more mature for her age, and don’t you forget, she doesn’t belong to this world. She is not habitual in making news., as your brother used to. For her, this is a big thing. From the day the news had been out., I noticed that she just lost her peace. I didn’t see her smiling either. So before blaming her, inspect yourself, as you still didn’t restrain this news.” Proclaiming this rose left the dining room

Stephen was at a loss for words as his mother was stating the facts. His power money couldn’t stop the media from reaching the college.

William was a silent spectator to all this. He looked the tense face of Stephen

"Relax, son. I know you are trying hard, but these media houses work like this. Don’t mind Rose’s words, as she is upset by all this and especially the moment she comes to know that Michael is arriving shortly to meet Eva. It’s a surprise for Eva, so don’t tell her.

Stephen was beyond shocked to realize that he never thought this matter could go this far now. He cursed himself for leaking the news in the media.

In the morning, Eva rose from her bed and rubbed her eyes because of the sunlight disturbing her. She proceeded to the washroom to carry out her morning routine and then made her way to the dining room, hoping for a day free from any trouble. Eva knew she should have listened to Rose’s advice yesterday. Still, Stephen has no right to scold her like this when she was stepping down the stairs. She heard a familiar voice in the living room. Tears pricked in her eyes as it was her dad’s voice.

Eva rushed towards the living room, where she sighted his dad chatting and having tea with the Smith family.

“Dad “

Michael stared at her with lots of emotions in his eyes, and a smile appeared on his lips, looking at his daughter after so many days. Before he could say a word, Eva almost jumped in his arms. She hugged him like her whole life depended on him.

Rose wiped the moisture in her eyes, looking at the reunion of father and daughter

Eva hugged her dad, who was patting her hair. Soon her sobs could be heard

“Dad, I missed you a lot. Dad, let's go home now, please. I am missing our home. Please, I just want to go home."

Michael gulped. The lump formed in his throat as he knew what effect this news had made on her daughter. He wiped his tears, kissed on her forehead and then asserted in soft tone

“. as you wish, princess." In that instant, the words that escaped his mouth—an unexpected turn of events caused by his own foolish mistake—completely upended Stephen's world.

Chapter 29: Perfect Family

Wiliam tried to cheer up the atmosphere: “Oh, come on Eva, you just broke my heart, girl, Are you tired by my company or hospitality?"

Eva looked at William with her teary eyes and smiled at his teasing. “Not, it’s not like, “that I am just missing my house."

“Hmm, ok, I believe you. Now come on, breakfast. Allow your dad to have some breakfast. After all, he is exhausted from a long journey.”

“Yes, dear, just freshen up first. See how tears are making you look, “Rose advised her. Eva gave a warm smile to her and left for her room.
