Eliana Beckett didn’t notice that Eva Nightingale spotted the kiss mark on her neck just now, but when Eva asked, her face involuntarily blushed.

Afraid of embarrassing herself further in front of Eva, she quickly changed the subject: "Eva, I’m heading back now, I’ll send someone to pick you up tonight." After saying this, she left.

Handling matters in Z country was one thing, but... Eliana mostly wanted to avoid Victor Gale.

After Eliana left, Eva Nightingale finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at the bathroom door with a mischievous smile, hmm, having him hide in there for so long, poor him!

...

Lucas Knight didn’t look too well, being the Imperial President, hiding in the bathroom, ending up so embarrassed, this was unheard of...

Listening to the silence outside gradually return, his expression finally improved a little.

"Boss, you can come out now!" Eva’s words carried a hint of mischievousness, as if his embarrassment made her happy.

After saying this, she reached out to open the bathroom door, but just as she touched the door, he opened it from inside and immediately grabbed her.

Eva was caught off guard as she was pulled into the bathroom, pressed firmly against the wall, with the man’s dangerous aura enveloping her.

"Boss! Do you have to be so domineering? Are you trying to pin me against the wall?"

"If you need it, I don’t mind..." he replied.

He initially intended to settle scores with her because this little woman dared to make him hide in there, still laughing so wickedly.

"I do mind though..." She pushed him, "I haven’t finished my meal! Can you let me go first..."

She hadn’t finished eating, she was halfway through her meal when Eliana came, and it scared her, making her drop her utensils!!

Dropped them.

"Alright alright... forget it!" She suddenly hugged him tightly, climbing onto him, "Lucas..."

"Hmm?" he responded lightly.

"Lucas, can you promise me one thing..."

"I can." Not just one thing, now that she married him, became his woman, even a hundred things he could agree to.

"After we get married, you mustn’t harm yourself. If I find out, I’ll ignore you forever."

They had agreed, the wedding would be in a year.

A year would be enough time for her to get pregnant.

"Okay." He held her waist, his chin brushing against her furry hair top, saying, "Regarding our wedding, I want... to give you a wedding. A grand wedding..."

Lucas Knight thought, although it’s a contract, an agreement between them, but after all, for this year she is the Young Madam of the family, the mother in name to Lili and Ivy, she should have a wedding...

However, this was just his personal wish, she probably wouldn’t agree.

As expected, Eva refused him: "No."

Holding a wedding would be tantamount to announcing to the world that she married him, not to mention how easy it would be to cause gossip upon divorcing in a year.

Once the wedding is held, Eliana in Eastern Europe would certainly find out.

"I don’t want a wedding..." She hugged his waist, her face buried in his chest, "We must divorce in a year, so, Lucas, I hope that when the time comes, it won’t be hard to part ways. During the marriage, I mean to keep it from Eastern Europe, not letting my mother know."

If Eliana knew, she definitely wouldn’t agree.

"Lucas, during this year, I’ll lie to my mother, telling her I’m overseas for a retreat and training. A year isn’t long, and she’s always wanted me to grow, I think she won’t be suspicious."
