Infatuated with my Ex-wife novel Chapter 122

He had put in a lot of effort behind the scenes, but people always said that he relied on his girlfriend to achieve what he had achieved today.

He lied to these people. Don't think that he didn't see the jealous faces of those people's blessings. How many people really wished him and Eva well? Even he didn't really want to...

"Kid, I only have one daughter. You have to take good care of her. If I find out that you didn't treat her well and let her suffer a little, I will teach you a lesson," Jerry said to Bastian.

Jerry was a man of means and strength. It was not easy for him to build up his family business from scratch.

At that time, he went out to do business alone and abandoned his young daughter and wife. When he came back from his career, his wife left after a few days of hard work.

Only he was left with his daughter, so he felt particularly guilty about his daughter, so he doted more on her, almost to the point where he could do whatever he wanted.

He really loved her wife. Before he died, he promised not to marry anyone else, so as not to be bullied by his mother. For so many years, he had kept his promise. For so many years, he did not even have a fixed lover.

Eva did not allow any other woman to get close to him. He did not want to find another boy because he felt guilty about his wife and daughter. He just wanted to find a good husband for his daughter and leave the family business to his son-in-law.

He had once sent people to investigate Bastian and knew that this person's family background was innocent and his conduct was not bad. In school, both teachers and classmates thought highly of him and had a good reputation. At that time, his daughter had taken a fancy to him, but he already had a girlfriend.

If he didn't agree, Eva would start crying and hang himself up. He had used all sorts of methods, so he had no choice but to make his move. Sigh...

It was the first time that Jerry had done something like breaking up a mandarin couple. After all, his daughter loved him so much that she had to do it for him. Jerry was a reasonable person, but he could only apologize in his heart.

"Finally, that guy has a sense of responsibility, and I don't think he knew about that incident at that time."

"Dad, what are you talking about? Bastian will definitely treat me well," Eva said coquettishly.

Since Bastian's mother had been hospitalized because of her poor health, Bastian's father had been watching her in the hospital. Besides, it was only an engagement party today, so they had not come to the scene.

"Uncle, don't worry. I promised to take good care of Eva," Bastian said absent-mindedly.

At this time, he saw the fresh and graceful figure, like a clear stream flowing into his heart, washing away his somewhat annoyed emotions. Bastian's eyes lit up. "Uncle, I'll take my leave first."

Eva was feeling a little strange. He followed his gaze and looked over—"Susie!"

She gritted her teeth and stomped her feet. She chased after Bastian, leaving Jerry alone in the same place, feeling a little confused.

"Girl, I've helped you get the happiness you want. The rest is up to you..."

Bastian was a very honest person. He had always performed well over the years and had never had any contact with other women in private. As for Eva, she had never mentioned Susie to Jerry because of her arrogant character.

Jerry didn't know that Bastian had not forgotten Susie even now. If he had known that Bastian was such a loyal person, he might not have helped Eva in the beginning.

Unfortunately, there was no if...

Bastian walked up to Susie and held her tightly with both hands before she could speak.

"Susie, you're here. I thought you wouldn't be here," Eva said with a smile in front of Bastian. Those who didn't know would think that she was very welcoming to Susie's arrival.

Eva was a little disappointed when he didn't see Susie's sad expression, but it didn't matter.

"We're classmates. I'm just here to give you a blessing," Susie said.

"Just a classmate? How do I remember that you were Bastian's ex-girlfriend? I'm sorry... I accidentally mentioned your sad things," Eva said unintentionally. He poked Susie's sore spot and then apologized hypocritically.

"It's hard for you to remember the past so clearly." Susie choked back her words, neither servile nor arrogant. She really thought that she was easy to bully.

"It doesn't matter whether I remember it or not. What I'm worried about is that someone might not appear calm on the surface, but he might be sad on the inside. That way, I'll feel guilty..." Eva said meaningfully. Everyone knew that she was referring to Susie.

"You don't have to worry about that. I know my Susie the best. She's happy for you. How could she be sad?" Liam, who had been silent, suddenly said.

"And I am the only one who can make Susie sad, and I will never make her sad." Liam looked at Bastian and said, "Mr. Ann, do you... think so?"

Bastian looked at their intimate state and felt sad. He didn't expect that Liam would suddenly ask such a question. He answered in a daze, "Yes..."

Even if he came to Susie, so what? Susie was standing in front of him, and he could do nothing but keep an eye on her.

"Good, good, good. Great Master Lee, you're right. Then tell me when my love will arrive," Susie joked.

"Hey, aren't you standing next to me?" Yilia pouted and pointed at Liam, who was standing next to Susie.

"Oh, I said that to deal with Bastian, so I have to say that he is my boyfriend. I have explained it to you many times." Susie secretly glanced at Liam and found that he had no reaction. She didn't know whether she was a little disappointed or somehow upset, so she withdrew her eyes.

Susie, who had retracted her gaze, did not notice the faint smile on the corner of Liam's mouth, as well as his gentle and focused gaze on her.

"I don't believe it." He was not afraid that Liam would hear him.

In her eyes, the two of them were already a couple, but they might be a little embarrassed or why they didn't expose that layer of paper. They probably needed some external help.

Yilia wondered if she should become a matchmaker to help these two.

...

After the engagement ceremony, Eva and Bastian returned home.

Eva was a little angry. She threw her handbag on the sofa, trying to figure out why he would coax her or ask her about it. However, Bastian ignored her and prepared to enter the room.

"Bastian, what happened to you today?" No matter how good Eva's temper was, he couldn't bear it. Furthermore, she had a bad temper to begin with.

"What happened? I'm a little tired today. I want to have a good rest. Can we talk about it tomorrow?" Bastian didn't want to quarrel with Eva, and he was indeed in a bad mood today.

Looking at Susie and Liam, and thinking about him and Eva, alas...

Over the past few years, he had been telling himself that since he had promised Eva, he should treat him well. He had tried to fall in love with Eva, but he really couldn't do it. He really couldn't give Eva the love he wanted.

Bastian's good upbringing made him a responsible and responsible man, but he had no extra feelings for Eva except for gratitude. Moreover, he was not very interested in Eva's character.

Bastian rarely called her Eva intimately. In private, he would call her by her full name. Only at certain times, such as when there were elders and relatives or outsiders, would he call her by her full name.
