Everything he does, he does for profit. He only likes Eva for her looks. If she loses that, he won't stay with her anymore.

at his photo once more, the sight of it stoking the flames of desire within her. Just a look at his photo was enough to make her

Nigel and Queenie sent them off after breakfast. Before they parted ways, Anastasia told Queenie to call if she needed anything.

Anastasia was a mother of two. She knew how to handle most problems that would arise during pregnancy.

“Of course, Anastasia,” Queenie said gently. “We're a family now. You and Nigel should cand visit us when you have time.”

Nigel was playing with Willow. The girl even kissed him, much to his delight. “Oh, we'll visit you a lot,” he said. He then looked at

Jared. “Woah, Jared's tall now. Bet he'll be six feet tall in a few years. Tflies, huh?”

Jared held Nigel's hand and looked at him with anticipation in his eyes. “Can | have your gaming system, Uncle Nigel?”

“You won't give up until | say yes, huh? Fine, you can take it.” Nigel's focus was on his wife now. He lost interest in games, so Jared

could have his gaming gear.

Anastasia said, “It’s fine to play games, but remember not to neglect your studies, Jared.”

Elliot didn’t mind Jared playing games. He was confident his boy had enough discipline to control himself. And this is good for

discipline training.

“Don’t worry, Mom. Two hours on the weekend. That's all.”

The newlyweds saw them off and returned to their villa. They were going to stay for a few more days. It was a nice place. Fresh air

and a quiet environment. It was a perfect place for a pregnant woman.

Eventually, Julian and Jessie had to leave as well. They, too, had work to do. After saying their goodbyes, they hopped onto the

helicopter and enjoyed the sea view as the chopper flew across the air.

It was 3.00PM when they returned to Averna. Julian asked Louie and Eva out for dinner, and Jessie went with him. Her parents were

still on the island, so she had the freedom to do whatever she wanted.

“Why don’t you stay at my place tonight?” Julian suggested.

She nodded. “If you wantto, then sure.”

“Of course, | want you.” He chuckled. “I'd love for you to stay.”

“Not up to anything cheeky, | hope.” She could see right through him.

“Nope,” he denied. Not like you can do anything about it once we get home.

Jessie shrugged it off. Eva had called her, inviting her over for dinner. The Gilmore brothers met up at 6.00PM, bringing their

partners along. This meeting was a cheery one, and the ladies becgood friends. It was only a matter of tbefore they
