This hotel’s presidential suite is equipped with an open-air swimming pool, an excellent environment, and with a man and a woman alone, it’s obvious what might happen.

So, when the staff brought things over, they all left.

At this moment, only Eva Nightingale and Lucas Knight were in the room.

Halfway through their meal, someone knocked on the door.

"Knock knock—"

Outside, Eliana Beckett had brought a group of staff over and was knocking on the door because they didn’t know there was a man in Eva’s room...

Inside the room, Eva was stunned!

Outside, Eliana’s voice continued: "Eva, darling daughter, mommy’s here to see you, open the door!" Eliana spoke loudly, but her voice came through the door slightly muffled, yet clear enough for Eva and Lucas Knight to hear.

Eva immediately looked at Lucas Knight: "Crown Prince... could you, hide somewhere?" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

After all, Eliana didn’t know she was with him. If she barged in and found them alone together, she would definitely know about their relationship, and Eliana would certainly discover everything between them, and then it would be chaos.

Lucas Knight put down his utensils and looked at her: "Okay."

...

Eliana didn’t know how long she had waited outside before the door finally opened. Eva greeted her in a women’s robe: "Mom, you’re here!"

"Yeah." Eliana grabbed her hand, "Jasmine told me you’ve been out these days, and I couldn’t help but worry. You seem to have lost weight. By the way, what’s wrong with your hand?!"

Eliana was very perceptive and grabbed her right wrist: "Eva, how did you hurt yourself?" Wrapped in thick bandages, it was really...

"Nothing..." Eva withdrew her hand, "It’s nothing." She didn’t know how to explain it to Eliana, she couldn’t exactly say she hurt herself on purpose, could she?!

"Eva, is there someone in your room?" As soon as Eliana entered, she became suspicious, noticing the amount of food on the table was clearly not for one person.

With whom?

"No one!" Eva denied resolutely, "There’s only me in my room, really, just me!"

Earlier, when Eliana showed up out of the blue, Eva had Lucas hide in the bathroom just in time, and luckily, she had managed to clean up the two sets of dishes, hoping Eliana wouldn’t notice.

"Mom, I haven’t slept well all day, you should go back, I’ll take a nap!" Eva fibbed, trying to make Eliana leave.

But who would have thought, Eliana still scanned the room, seemingly not entirely convinced.

Yet, Eliana didn’t find anything suspicious, instead, she just quietly looked at Eva, then said: "Mom believes you."

"Tomorrow, mom has to go to country Z to handle some matters, and it might take half a month to a month. Come with mom."

Eva: "This!!"

No way.

Eliana’s sudden request really took Eva by surprise!

When Eva looked up at Eliana, she accidentally noticed a red mark below her neck, dark red, just like a strawberry...

With the experience of someone who’s been there, that mark on Eliana...

Though Eliana is Eva’s mother, standing next to Eva, she looks more like a sister, well-maintained, with fairness surpassing snow, and such good demeanor, not at all like Eva’s mom.

With this thought in mind, Eva looked at Eliana again and boldly asked: "Mom... Miss Eliana, did you get a new boyfriend?!"

Eliana’s face turned pale in an instant: "You... you cheeky girl!"
