Chapter 486
Although Eva was known as Mrs. Evans, in fact, she had no right to speak in the Evans family. Daxton would not discuss anything with her. Once he decided to do something, Eva would not dare to say a word.
However, Eva was already very satisfied. She was from a poor family, and she was already lucky enough to be able to get the position of Mrs. Evans. At least in Fairby, no one dared to offend her. Eva was very clear that it was because she was obedient that Daxton kept her. Now that Dora wanted her to question Daxton’s decision, how could she dare to do so?
“Rose.” Eva didn’t dare to offend Dora too much. She asked cautiously, “Do you… still want to marry into the White family?” NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Dora paused for a moment and said with reddened eyes, “Aunt Eva, the engagement is mine. It should be me who married into the White family! Why did Crystal take away my things as soon as she came back?! My fiance, father, and brother… were all taken away by her!”
How could Eva not know Dora’s imbalance? If she had not seen these, it would not have been a big deal for her to be an ordinary village girl in Sunshine Village. However, she had been taken to a wealthy place like the Evans residence, not to mention that the prosperity had been held tightly in her hands. How could she give it up so easily?
She patted the back of Dora’s hand and comforted her, “Rose, your father and brother are partial to you. You see, on the day when Crystal came back, they didn’t see Crystal because of your graduation ceremony. Can’t it show how much they value you?”
“That was before!” Dora cried and said, “They’ve changed a long time ago! Dad wants me to get married and Antony also dotes on Crystal… I’ve long lost my status!”
For a moment, Eva didn’t know how to comfort her.
She sighed and said, “Rose, your dad respects you and he asked you to pick slowly… Well, you can go with me to see a few people, and then you can just say that you don’t like them. Then it will be easy for me to explain to your dad.”
“If he really respects me, he wouldn’t be in such a hurry to marry me off!”
“All right, all right…” Eva took out a tissue, wiped Dora’s tears, and said, “If you cry again, your eyes will be swollen. How can there be no conflict between father and daughter? Don’t be angry.” Dora managed to stop crying. She hugged Eva and said, “Aunt Eva, you are the best to me.” She put her chin on Eva’s shoulder and said in a crying voice, but there was no sadness in her eyes. She looked at the wall and said slowly, “From the moment I had memories, you were the one who brought me up. Compared with my mother, you were the one who raised me.”
Hearing Dora mention Chloe, Eva froze for a moment.
Chloe…
Eva had seen her before.
Back when she became Mrs. Evans, many people poked her in the back and scolded her. Because she was a servant of the Evans family, she was responsible for taking care of Dora after Chloe’s death.
Less than two years after Chloe’s death, she became the matriarch of the Evans family. Countless people scolded her for taking advantage of the convenience of taking care of Dora to climb into Daxton’s bed.
However, only she knew that she had never stayed overnight in Daxton’s room over the past few years. She accidentally broke into his bedroom once and saw the memorial tablet on the table, which made
Daxton fly into a rage and drive her out of the room.
