“I’m sorry, but I have to disagree with you as you are wrong., as I never compare others with you. As you can see, I have formed a friendship with Steve, and I also hold a positive opinion of Richard, not to mention my fondness for Mr. Smith.”

“The trait that you possess is present, but it is solely because the way they behave towards you is in line with your liking and coincides with how you have seen me behave all your life. “

“Fine.. Maybe you are right. So what’s wrong with that?

“It’s not right either. Accept Stephen as he is, that boy who is trying hard to deal with you with patience and care. Stop comparing him with me, as my upbringing and way of life are exactly the opposite of Stephens.”

Eva tried to understand his dad’s words. Before they could continue the conversation, the maid knocked on the door, informing Eva about the designer and how Rose wished her presence there.

Eva bid goodbye but to her dad and was leaving the room when Michael call her from behind

“Stephen is a decent man, Eva, so I hope you can understand him.”

Eva gave a nod at her dad and left for Rose’s room. After arriving in the room, she spurred the designer, with her assistants were already waiting for her

The moment Eva put on the dress, it was a perfect fit, just as expected. Rose was overjoyed at the sight of her wearing such a beautiful gown.

It was almost evening when Stephen arrived home. Steve and William were already in their room, getting ready.

Stephen knew he was running late, but he was sure he would get ready on time. So he quickly entered his room and found his customized suit present in the room. He took a shower first and then changed into that elegant piece of clothing. But somehow he didn’t prefer the tie that the designer chose for him

Stephen opened his drawer, which was filled with almost every shade and pattern of ties.

He was searching for one perfect piece when he spotted someone picking up a blue tie from the drawer

When he looked around, he was amazed to see Eva standing beside him, holding one tie and searching for another. Stephen left mesmerized at the sight of his beautiful Eva dressed in a beautiful gown with minimal makeup on her face. He appreciated the team, who did a wonderful job on her reception look.

“I think you should wear this one. “ his trance was broken by her sweet voice. For a moment he got frozen, as he had to blink his eyes to believe whatever had occurred. Isn’t she the same woman who was behaving distantly with him?

Or maybe he is hallucinating that his Eva is standing beside him., holding a tie for him

Let it be. I mean, maybe you don’t like it."

Eva started with a disappointed look, which made Stephen realize what he was doing.

“No.. I mean, I love this.. I will wear it definitely.

Stephen got hold of the tie and started tying it with a cheerful face. Eva was observing him the way he gaped at her look and then the way he got delighted because Eva had selected a tie for him. Maybe her dad is right, she thought in her mind.

Stephen commented while adjusting his collar

“It seems you are ready already.”

“Yeah..” Eva looked down as she was expecting a compliment from him as her dad rose and William already praised her look. But his next words disappointed her.

“Hmm good. I am done too; I just have to wear the shoes .“

“Oh, I will wait downstairs then, “Eva replies, hiding her disappointment

“Yeah..” Stephen gave a nod while picking his shoes

Eva left the room, murmuring some cures for her husband. She recalled how her dad used to compliment her mother whenever she used to get ready to attend some event or even on dinner dates. And here is her husband, who can’t say a word of appreciation to her

In all these thoughts, she arrived in the living room, where she spotted the other family members who were waiting for the couple

Steve was the first one to reach Eva

“Hey beautiful.. You look breathtakingly gorgeous tonight. “
