Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 465 Guest

Once Eva emerged from the kitchen, she draped her arms around Amelia’s shoulders. Upon seeing how Eva clung to the latter, Rory beamed. “Amelia, who is this? The two of you look very close. Is she a relative of yours?”

Eva glared at Rory as she knitted her brows together. “I’m her cousin,” she retorted indignantly. “Who are you? Also, do you mind sitting a little further away from James? A woman should have the appropriate manners and bearing. Did you think you could pass off as someone from the upper class just because you tried? Just take a look at your tanned skin. It’s clear that you’re a country bumpkin.”

Immediately, a look of anger flitted across Rory’s gaze. She didn’t expect Eva to respond so impolitely. She lacks even the most basic mannerisms. How despicable!

“Eva, apologize to Rory,” Amelia uttered in a low voice.

Taken aback by Amelia’s words, Eva stared at her. “Amelia, what are you saying?”

Amelia heaved out a heavy sigh and softened her tone. “Eva, Rory is a friend I invited here. Since both of you are millennials, I assumed that the two of you would share many similar topics. It was rude of you to treat her with such disrespect. If you keep this up, I’ll get mad. Oscar will be here soon; you should get your act together.”

Unexpectedly, Eva did not blow her top. Instead, she cheekily bowed at Amelia. “I’m sorry. Please don’t hold it against me, or Amelia will berate me again,” Eva nonchalantly said as she turned to Rory.

The latter merely smiled and said nothing more.

When Eva trotted over, Rory instinctively moved away. She strongly disapproved of Eva’s appearance and behavior. Deep down, Eva’s bold mannerisms and rough demeanor reminded her of an uncivilized woman.

At the same time, Eva disliked Rory and the latter’s tendency to act more mature than her age. It seemed like their dislike for each other could have stemmed from their intuition or their difference in age. When Eva saw James sneaking glances at Rory, she couldn’t help but seethe in rage. Is James blind? How could he fall for such a pretentious woman like Rory?

Eva deliberately sat beside James. “James, look at me. Though you may not fancy me right now, you cannot take an interest in other ostentatious women like the one seated next to me. I am willing to wait for your love. There’s a saying in Chanaea that goes, marrying a woman is like a question that needs to be solved. If you marry well, prosperity and peace will bless your future. If you don’t, you will spend the rest of your life in bitterness. Hence, you should only either consider me as your wife. If not me, you should set your sights on other virtuous and wise women.”

Awkwardly, James averted his gaze before glancing dismissively at Eva. “Eva, I have not taken an interest in other women. Could you please sit a little further away from me?”
