Flash Marriage: My Penniless Billionaire Husband

Chapter 423: It Was Reserved For A Loved One

"Why are you so loud? I’ll sit back." Eva secretly complained, then opened the door of the back seat and sat in. Looking at the empty seat in front, she couldn’t help but remember the discussion of the waiters just now. It was said that the passenger’s seat was reserved for a loved one, so was it for his wife only? But since he loved her wife, why would he order girls in a club? Or he was just a hypocrite who said one thing and did another. Eva didn’t understand, but she felt some contempt for him. She despised this kind of man who said one thing and did another.

"Here you are. Get off." While Eva was secretly complaining about him, the car stopped. Eva realized that she had arrived at the apartment. She quickly collected her thoughts, opened the door, and got out of the car, but she suddenly thought of something, and said to him, "Thank you, James."

She got out of the car and closed the door. She was just about to wave goodbye to him when the car quickly drove away. "What a man of no manners!" As soon as Eva turned around after complaining, she bumped into Sam who was standing behind her, and she couldn’t help but feel startled. But thinking of her brother Daniel’s reprimand on the phone, she was embarrassed.

"Sam." She stepped forward with guilt. Sam’s gaze swept across her face faintly, "Miss Pattinson, have you had breakfast?" Sam didn’t even mention the matter of looking for her in the morning, and Eva was slightly surprised, "Yes."

Sam nodded, "Let’s go back then." She turned and walked towards the gate of the apartment. Eva followed, and the two entered the elevator one after another. Eva stared at the floor numbers, remembering something, and asked suddenly, "Sam, what was James like before?" Sam glanced at her and said, "I have no idea."

"I heard that his wife is missing. Is that right?" Eva asked again. Sam didn’t answer this time. Eva didn’t care, and continued to ask, "Has he become like this because her wife disappeared?"

Sam frowned helplessly at Eva’s question after question. At this time, the elevator door opened, and Eva walked out of the door without even thinking about it, only to find that Sam hadn’t followed, and she was surprised, "Sam, you..."

Sam stood in the elevator and looked at her, "Miss Pattinson, I have something else to do, so I won’t go in." Eva was surprised. Seeing that the elevator door was about to close, she quickly reached out to stop it and said, "Sam, you’re mad at me, right?"

She bit her lips with a worried look on her face. Sam said, "I’m not."

Seeing her serious face, Eva slowly let go of her hand blocking the elevator door, "Okay, goodbye, Sam."

She waved to Sam in the elevator, and then turned and walked towards the apartment after the elevator door closed. Sam walked out of the gate of the apartment and drove the car away. On the way, she kept thinking about the questions Eva had asked. Indeed, James was not like this before. He had become like this little by little after Yvonne left.

She couldn’t watch James like this every day without feeling sorry for him. After all, he had changed into a different person. But she was just an outsider, so what could

she do? She was driving the car while thinking about it, feeling a little upset. Her mobile phone was not far away, and it was too easy to make a call. But the question was what would happen after she made the call? She did not know. Sam struggled for a while and finally decided to make a call.

...

In any case, had to try once, or her conscience would be overwhelmed. Thinking of this, she parked the car on the side of the road and made a call. It didn’t take long to get connected. "Hey, Sam." Yvonne’s familiar voice came over the phone.

Sam froze for a moment before she said, "Yvonne, how are you recently?" Yvonne said, "I’m fine. How about you?"

Sam said, "I’m still the same. Well, do you want a divorce?" These days, she had hesitated whether to ask her what she thought. On the other end of the phone, Yvonne paused before she said, "Yes."

"Aren’t you going to think about it again? I just think it’s a pity."

Yvonne had to make her own decision.

There was a long silence on the phone before Yvonne’s voice came, "Sam, thank you for your concern. I’ve considered it carefully." Sam had been thinking, if she wasn’t so determined, she would tell her about James’ changes during this period, but she sounded so determined. She didn’t know what to say for a while. After a long while, she sighed in her heart and said, "Well then, I hope you won’t regret it."

Yvonne put down her phone and stared at the medical cases in front of her. Would she regret it? She didn’t know, but she knew it would be good for both of them. "Dr. White, someone fainted over there." Someone shouted outside the door. Yvonne quickly collected her thoughts, got up, and rushed over.

Eva was a very curious girl. Since she was interested in James’ affairs, she would not give up. She asked Daniel to tell her about it on the phone, "Daniel, just tell me." Faced with Eva’s strong curiosity, Daniel was extremely helpless," You little girl, why do you care about what these things? You must not mess with him. I will not be able to help you then."

"I don’t want to mess with him. I just want to hear the story. Please tell me."

Eva begged him softly on the phone, and Daniel had no choice, "Fine." He simply told her about what had happened to James. After Eva learned the story, she was surprised, "What? I can’t believe there are such conservative people now."

"Silly girl, do you think marriage is as simple as you think?" Daniel sighed. Eva said to herself, she didn’t know whether it was simple or not, but she thought it was a pity that the couple got separated for such a reason. No, she must find a way to help them. Thinking about this, Eva went to the club that night, and as expected, she saw James again in the club, as if he was here every day at this time. Eva hid in the corner and watched James get into the box. Not long after, two beautifully dressed girls walked in. They looked like the two girls she had seen in the box last time. Well, he was quite a dedicated client.

After the two girls walked in, she quietly followed them, but the door of the box was closed and she couldn’t see anything inside. Eva tried to peep at the door for a while but saw nothing, so she had no choice but to walk away. Sam was not in the club right now, and Eva didn’t want to go back to the lounge. She just wandered around. Even so, her attention was always focused on James’ box. It didn’t take long before the two girls came out of the box, and Eva hurriedly followed them.

...

The two girls seemed to be in the direction of the stairwell. Eva cautiously followed behind, and she saw them pushing open the heavy safety exit door and walking towards the stairwell. Eva followed, and through the crack in the door, she saw the two girls lit a cigarette. "Hey, what do you think Mr. Taylor is doing? He asked us to go over every night without doing anything. Is he having a problem with his brain?"

One of the girls suddenly said, "Keep your voice down. If someone hears us, it will be awful."

The other girl looked very cautious and looked around, "What are you afraid of? No one usually comes here."

"But we’d better be cautious."

The girl who started the topic was a bit disdainful, and said mockingly, "You are too cautious."

"Better safe than sorry. We finally got such a good job. If it is screwed up, will Mr. Taylor let us go?"

"That’s right. He gives us money, but we don’t have to wait on him. It would be nice if we could have such a good job every day." The two women were talking while smoking cigarettes.

Eva heard it clearly outside the door. She realized what was going on. No wonder the perfume that she had smelled last time was different from that of these girls. He must have sprayed it on purpose. But why would he do this? Eva couldn’t figure it out. But he was certainly not as degraded as she had thought. "What are you doing here?" There suddenly came a voice behind her. It was Sam. Eva was startled for fear of alarming the two girls outside, and she quickly covered her mouth. After taking Sam to a safe place, Eva let her go.

Sam looked at her mysteriously and frowned, "What were you doing just now?" Eva was just about to tell her the truth, but she suddenly thought of something, and she changed her mind, "It’s nothing. I just wanted to sneak out of the stairwell and ran into you." She scratched her head, embarrassed.

Sam didn’t doubt it. She glanced at the time and said, "It’s getting late. Miss Pattinson, you should go back." "It’s only ten o’clock. I’d like to stay for a while." Eva begged.

"Then stay for another half an hour. At half past ten, I will take you back on time." Sam compromised.

"Thank you, Sam." Eva obediently agreed but planned something silently in her heart.

In the box, Daniel got up and left the box after receiving the news that Sam had returned from the outside. He casually took the two girls into the car under Sam’s gaze and drove them off halfway as usual. He went back to the hotel as usual, but just after he entered the door of the hotel, Eva greeted him, "James, you just came back."

Facing this girl who suddenly appeared from nowhere, James looked helpless and asked as he walked, "It’s so late. Why don’t you go to bed?" Eva followed him, "I can’t fall asleep, so I decided to wait for you."

"Wait for me?" James glanced at her with a frown, and then entered the elevator.

Eva followed him in.

The two lived on the same floor. James pressed the floor button and ignored her. Eva was standing behind him. She stared at his back and thought about the little secret she had discovered, and couldn’t stop feeling happy, but she accidentally laughed. "Why are you laughing?" Her laughter was abrupt, and James frowned at her. Eva chuckled quickly and said, "It’s nothing."

After getting out of the elevator, James walked to his room. But when he turned around, he found Eva behind him, and he was puzzled, "Why are you following me?"
