Chapter 1416: 1055: Knowing This Is Just an Accident, Will You Still Come?

As a man, in that moment he decided he was going to protect her, and have her."Eva Nightingale, whatever he can give you, I can give you too."

He didn’t know when he had leaned in, but his handsome face was right above Eva Nightingale’s, his magnetic scent pouring down over her.

In Liam Coldwell’s impression, she had always been the little young miss of the Bennett Clan, not the fallen rich girl of the Nightingale Group from before... and definitely not Lucas Knight’s ex-wife, the mommy of that little bun!

He didn’t know Eva Nightingale’s past.

If he did know Eva Nightingale’s past, he probably wouldn’t be acting like this now, right?!

Putting himself in that position, most men definitely couldn’t accept their own woman having given birth to another man’s child.

Eva Nightingale went silent for two seconds, then lifted her head to stare at the man above her. "Liam Coldwell, you don’t know my past; you don’t know what I’ve been through. Maybe I’m not as perfect as you think I am. So, you don’t have to treat me this well!"

He laughed, his voice low and hoarse. "Eva Nightingale, I don’t care about your past. What I want is only your present and your future."

She was with Lucas Knight, so naturally he had already prepared for the worst.

He wouldn’t discard her just because she had given herself to someone else; all he wanted was for Eva Nightingale to stay by his side.

"Wifey, stop making trouble, hmm?"

He actually lowered himself to coax her, even pinched Eva Nightingale’s cheek, which was a bit hot.

"You had your reasons, didn’t you?"

"Eva Nightingale, you can tell me!"

"Did he force you to be with him, hmm?"

"Am I not good enough to you?"

Eva Nightingale: "!!!"

Liam Coldwell, you’ve had too much to drink, haven’t you!

Aren’t people supposed to tell the truth when they’re drunk? What the hell is he spitting out?

"Eva Nightingale, don’t tell me you really fell for Lucas Knight?"

Liam Coldwell withdrew his hand and sat beside Eva Nightingale, tilting his head to look at her from above.

He was wearing a gray striped bathrobe, with an eighty-million global limited-edition watch on his wrist. His hand rested casually on his thigh, his posture a bit lazy.

Eva Nightingale fell silent. "..."

He leaned in, warning, "Eva Nightingale! I’ll give you one week to come back to my side. One week from now, I’ll announce our relationship in Country Z and in Eastern Europe."

"Are you crazy?" she shouted furiously.

"No... Eva Nightingale, don’t tell me you really fell for Lucas Knight?" Liam Coldwell himself didn’t know why there was this unwillingness in his heart. Was it really like she said, that there was no spark between them?

No ’spark’.

"You’re overthinking it. I’m not going to fall for anyone." She downed another glass. "Liam Coldwell, even if my mom knows I’m close with Lucas Knight, it’s nothing, because I don’t love him. My mom won’t interfere."

"I know where to draw the line, so... your threat just now is useless on me!"

"Is that so?" He half-believed, half-doubted, scrutinizing her.

"Yes. I don’t bow to any threats!" she said.

"But Eva Nightingale, when you cry, it hurts here." He tapped his chest. "Back then when you called me, do you know how anxious I was?"

Eva Nightingale: "..."

She paused, then gave a dry laugh. "Back then was an accident."

"And besides, Liam Coldwell, what happened between us was just an accident too..." Why be so fixated.

"You know it was an accident, and you still came?"

He chuckled. "Come? I’d come even if it was a mountain of blades or a sea of fire, just to get into your world."

As he spoke, his big hand clamped down on the back of Eva Nightingale’s head, and he moved in to kiss her.

"Pa—"

A loud slap greeted him.

In an instant, five bright red finger marks bloomed on the man’s handsome face.
