Chapter 1418: 1057: Returning Home on Time

At the same time, in a certain luxury villa in Eastern Europe. Harry North reported respectfully to a certain man about Eva Nightingale’s situation: "Crown Prince, after Miss Eva went back, President Liam Coldwell of Country Z also went to the castle and only left at dawn last night."

Under the vintage-style window sat a fine sandalwood chair; the man held a thick stack of documents in his hand. Hearing this, he nodded. "Mm."

His posture was lazy, yet just by sitting there, his whole body carried an inborn air of nobility.

Lucas Knight thought, she left, and didn’t even think to give me a call.

In fact, after sending her here, he hadn’t rushed to leave right away.

Instead, he stayed.

"You can go down now, keep an eye on the situation. Hm?"

"Yes." Harry North withdrew.

...

Their agreement was for her to come back in a week.

And for this week, he chose to stay.

During this time, she didn’t call him even once, which inevitably angered the man.

Because she had been in such frequent contact with Liam Coldwell, Lucas Knight couldn’t help feeling a bit sour inside.

In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.

On a sunny afternoon, Eva Nightingale lied to Eliana Beckett, saying she was going abroad for a trip.

She had Jasmine Green drive the car to the bottom of the castle in advance. Eva, dressed in a long dress, had just been about to leave when Eliana stopped her.

"Eva!" A woman’s sixth sense told Eliana that things weren’t that simple; Eva must be hiding a lot from her, right?

"Mom. Didn’t you say you wouldn’t interfere with me too much?" There was still a bit more than half a year left—once that time was up, she would get divorced and come back!

By then, Eliana wouldn’t need to worry so much anymore.

So, Eva smiled calmly.

"I won’t interfere too much; you’re an adult anyway." Eliana felt a sense that she could no longer keep her under control.

"Be careful, come back to see Mom once a week. Lately Madam Cold is coming over to discuss the marriage. Once it’s settled, we’ll let you know."

Eva forced a smile. "Mm..."

Jasmine Green drove her to the airport.

When they arrived at the airport, Eva went straight onto the plane.

At the same time, Lucas Knight also received the news. Knowing she was returning to the Sovereign Empire on time, he was very happy and, moreover, very relieved.

Lucas Knight set off almost at the exact same time as her.

*

They arrived at the grand gates of Lanwan Yayuan manor.

White walls, with many precious flowers planted on both sides, and an extremely beautiful fountain.

There were two highly defensive protective fences at the gate.

The Bodyguards at the gate all recognized Eva. Seeing that she was the Young Madam of Lanwan Yayuan, they opened the gate immediately and very politely made a "please come in" gesture.

She didn’t know that Lucas Knight had also only just returned today.

...

Walking into the living room, the Maids greeted her politely, "Young Madam, you’re back?"

"Mm. Right, where is he?" Eva asked.

"The President is in the upstairs lounge," the Maid replied.

"I’ll go see him." A week had passed—she wondered how things were going with Charlotte Knight?

She hoped Charlotte had come back!

Once she asked about Charlotte Knight’s situation, Eva should go see the little bun!

Little Pear and little Ivy, she wondered if they missed her? She missed them terribly.

Thinking that she would be leaving soon, she couldn’t help feeling a wave of sadness in her heart.

...

"Sir, the Young Madam is here," Harry North reported.

Lucas Knight slightly turned his eyes. "I know. You can go now."

"Yes."

After Harry North left, Eva went upstairs.

"How’s your injury?" She couldn’t help asking.
