Chapter 996 - 993: Everyone’s New Lover Is Someone Else’s Ex (3)
But, even though he realized it, Sebastian pretended not to know, looking at her again for two seconds before saying, "I love you, love you."Eva Nightingale: "So you really love me, huh?"
Even though it felt like Sebastian was really good to her, then why didn’t he show it!
Eva had many ways to make him say it out loud.
Sebastian: "..." Love?
How could he not love her?
Did she know she was once the adored one of the Imperial Crown Prince?!
If he had the chance, Sebastian also wanted to make her his cherished one.
But then again, she’s already his cherished one now, though it’s a different kind of affection; this love and the one he wants are distinct, and he knows it well.
Moreover...
Actually, Sebastian didn’t even know what love truly was. Having heard that love usually ends in sorrow, and considering the huge hurt she suffered three years ago, if he’d known earlier, Sebastian should not have let go and should have taken her back to Eastern Europe earlier.
That would be great.
Now, she’s just a woman of the Bennett Clan.
"Don’t you love me?" Eva asked again, seeming to have endless questions. Besides, she wanted to hear Sebastian say he loved her, wanted to hear Master Ernest Coldwell say he loved her; she wanted to have a harem!
No, no, no, she was overthinking it.
This kind of love and that kind of love are different.
Sebastian paused: "I do love you."
"Hmm~" Eva was satisfied, "Then I’m going to sleep, Uncle, you should go back and sleep early too." She suddenly turned serious, and Sebastian was momentarily stunned before saying, "Goodnight."
After speaking, he walked out of the room, gently closing the door behind him.

The next day, morning.
When Eva woke up, she casually freshened up and left the room, having agreed with Sebastian to go back to Eastern Europe today. Her mother, Eliana Beckett, said she wanted to take her to New York for an event next month.
The Bennett Clan and neighboring countries had good relations and interacted frequently.
Eva didn’t like attending those events, but... since her mother Eliana kept urging her, she had no choice but to agree.
Just as she reached the door, she encountered a group of women, led by Sophie Linwood.
"Eva, I apologize for what happened last time." Sophie had no choice but to come to Eva again.
At a Coldwell Family banquet that day, she was jealous of Liam Coldwell’s kindness towards Eva, so she spiked Eva’s drink, planning to take photos of her with a man as evidence.
Who knew, not only did it not succeed, but she was also caught in public, and Liam Coldwell got angry and kicked her out of the Coldwell residence late at night, making her kneel at the estate gate in the middle of the night.
It was incredibly humiliating.
The next day, Sophie went home to complain, intending to rally the family against Eva. But instead, her complaint failed, and her mother slapped her several times, saying why provoke the Bennett Clan and Coldwell Family.
The Linwood Family, although influential in the Z country, couldn’t afford to offend the Bennett Clan and the Coldwell Family.
Thus, being twice thwarted, and miserably driven out, she had no choice but to seek out Eva and apologize.
"Eva, I’m sorry—"
"About the spiking incident last time, I didn’t mean it—"
"Can we make up and be friends?"
Make up? Eva frowned; was Sophie thinking too beautifully? Why didn’t she consider the consequences when she spiked the drink?
Why didn’t she think when she came to snatch the flowers?
"I forgive you, but as for being friends, forget it." Eva was going back to Eastern Europe and didn’t bother to argue with her.
