Maybe even Lucas Knight himself didn’t know what he really felt deep down.

He was afraid that if he went back, he wouldn’t be able to hold back his temper and would scare her, so he stayed away, just to force himself to calm down.

Calm down, calm down, and calm down again.

He couldn’t scare her!

They’d been married a little over a month, spent a whole month on their honeymoon, with him holding her to sleep every night. After they came back, no matter how busy work got, he still had to be home by eight to sleep with her.

This was the first time he’d stayed out all night.

Eva, Eva Bennett, why is it that just one night without seeing you, and I miss you this much!

Could it be that in this marriage, the first one to lose is him? He’d always been warning her not to fall for him, could it be that in the end, the first one to fall is actually him!

No, impossible.

He was such an arrogant man.

How could he possibly...

"You can go now." Lucas Knight had no mood to ask anything else and lit a cigar.

"Boss, you should rest early." Dr. Meng knew he was in a terrible mood. Say two more words and he might explode on the spot.

So Dr. Meng had no intention of provoking this living god and tactfully backed out.

The group of men outside saw even Dr. Meng get kicked out, and all looked at each other. Something must’ve happened—who pissed off the boss so badly that he blew up for no reason!

...

Late at night, heavy rain poured outside the window.

Eva had a nightmare in her sleep, and when she woke up she found her pillow was already soaked.

"..."

She habitually reached over and felt along the edge of the bed, only to realize the other side of the big bed was completely empty. That was when she remembered he hadn’t come back to sleep at all tonight.

In the days after, the second day, the third day, Eva still didn’t see him.

In a fit of anger, she went to the garage, picked a car, drove out of Lanwan Yayuan herself, and headed straight for Emperor Grand Tower.

"Screech—" The sleek sports car braked hard and came to a stop.

Eva got out of the car, feeling more or less resentful. If something was going on, he could’ve just told her clearly, but what was with this silent cold shoulder?

"Y-Young Madam!" A few Bodyguards at the entrance of Emperor Grand Tower immediately recognized Eva. "Young Madam, what brings you here?"

"I’m not allowed to come?"

The Bodyguard: "No, no, of course you can, Young Madam!"

Eva snapped, "Where’s Lucas Knight? I want to see him!!"

Three nights. The first day she hadn’t called. The second and third day she did, but he never picked up. Every night when she went to bed, Eva felt so stifled. Her belly had no movement at all—if this went on, when they really divorced, she probably still wouldn’t be pregnant.

It wasn’t that she was desperate, it’s just...

Forget it, she’d already taken a step back and thought, fine, no kids then, she’d just run Bennett on her own in the future.

"Young Madam, the boss is in a meeting right now. It might not be convenient for you to go in..."

The Bodyguard wanted to stop her but didn’t dare.

They were all big, burly men—if they accidentally hurt her and the boss blamed them later, they’d be dead meat!

So the Bodyguard could only try to persuade her: "Young Madam, if you have something to discuss, maybe you could wait for another—" Before he finished, Eva cut him off, "Get out of my way!"

"..."

Eva: "Move!"

The Bodyguard wisely shut his mouth and took a step back.

It was Eva’s first time here, but the elevator was huge and very obvious. She spotted it at a glance and walked straight over.

She took the VIP elevator and pressed for the 188th floor.

She’d already asked the servants at Lanwan Yayuan before she came, so it wasn’t hard at all for her to find him.
