A Sweet Romance: The CEO's Reborn Wife Chapter-8

Liana Raines/Fl cousinn

"Eve, are you all right? Is your cold better?"

Just as Everly came out, Liana immediately rushed over and took her hand. From her worried expression, it was as if nothing had happened.

Given her ability to act and change her expressions, the Oscars owed her a golden statuette.

Everly suddenly recalled that in her last life, Liana had indeed become a movie star.

Everly Smith/FL

'No wonder she could fool me and date a number of men.'

Everly Smith/FL

"I'm fine, I was just a little cold."

Everly replied lightly and unobtrusively avoided Liana's hand.

Liana Raines/Fl cousinn

"I was so worried. The devil was so scary just now. He didn't bully you, did he?"

Liana asked with feigned concern, but all of her words describing Liam were very negative.

In her last life, Everly had not noticed that in the beginning, Liam had not acted in an extreme way.

On the contrary, it was Liana's words that made her develop a bias against Liam.

As time went on, the misunderstandings between her and Liam deepened... This time, she would not allow this bitch to get what she wanted!

Everly Smith/FL

"It was fine. I didn't find him scary at all. He even gave me his jacket to wear."

As Everly spoke, she turned and purposely allowed Liana to see the suit jacket she was wearing.

Liana's eyes bulged. She had not expected Everly to react like this.

Liana Raines/Fl cousinn

'Is she not meant to follow along and spew vitriol about Liam like she used to?'

When Liana saw the men's suit jacket Everly was wearing, deep jealousy flashed through her eyes, however, it only lasted half a second before she perfectly masked her emotion.

However, in this life, Everly didn't miss Liana's expression. She couldn't help admiring Liana's ability to endure and mask her emotions.

The silly girl she had been in her last life would never have thought that Liana was such a sophisticated bitch.

Seeing her swallow her jealousy now, Everly immediately felt much happier.

Everly Smith/FL

'Liana, there's plenty of time in the future...'

Aaron Smith

"Liana, Eve is already engaged to Liam, so be careful of what you say in the future."

Her big brother, Aaron, who had not spoken until now, looked at Liana firmly. There was a warning in his tone.

Liana Raines/Fl cousinn

"I was wrong, Brother. I just wanted to help Eve. I should have thought more..."

As Liana lowered her head to admit her mistake, her eyes immediately reddened.

Just at this moment, Adrian and Fiona approached them.

Seeing the situation, Adrian immediately frowned and looked in disdain at Everly.

Adrian Smith

"You're already engaged, yet you're still so immature... Bullying your cousin again!"

Everly almost threw up blood in anger. After her mother had passed away, her father, Adrian, had always been cold toward her.

However, after Fiona and her daughter moved into the Smith Family's home, she had fallen even further in her father's eyes.

Now it reached the point where if Liana cried, it was her who had done wrong.

Samuel Smith

"Dad! It's Liana who wanted to cry, what does it have to do with Eve?!"

Her second brother, said unhappily.

Adrian Smith

"Do you think I don't know what you're like? You only know to protect her and can't tell the difference between right and wrong!"

Adrian stubbornly maintained his opinion. In his eyes, Everly only knew how to make mistakes.

Everly Smith/FL

"The person who doesn't know right from wrong is you, isn't it? Do you even know what happened?"

Everly looked coldly at Adrian as she glanced out of the corners of her eye at Fiona, who was standing very close to her father.

In her previous life, as she was about to die, Liana had come as a victor to her prison and gloated.

Liana Raines/Fl cousinn

"Everly, not only is Brother Shawn subordinate to me, even your father belongs to my mother. Today is the day of their wedding..."

Remembering Liana's words from past, Everly's hands curled into fists at her sides.

Everly Smith/FL

"Why? Adrian Smith!"

Everly Smith/FL

"Didn't you say that you would only love Mom your entire life? That you would never marry again?"

Fiona Rose

"Eve, your dad is just concerned about you..."

Fiona once again feigned concern as she jumped into the conversation.

Everly came back to her senses and, without hiding her disgusted expression at all, said sarcastically,

Everly Smith/FL

"Why are you two standing so close? Is there good news coming soon? When are you planning to have the wedding? Before me or with me?"

In any case, she had been spoiled by Liana and her mother to know no bounds.

Speaking like this was perfectly in accordance with the proud and arrogant persona she had created.

As she said this, Liana, standing beside her, immediately let out a breath.

She thought Everly had suddenly come to her senses.

Who would have thought she was still that brainless idiot? It had just been her misperception.

Adrian Smith

"Bràt! What are you saying?"

Her father was immediately angered. He raised his hand and was about to bring it down in a slap.

Everly stubbornly stood where she was without moving or hiding. She waited for the slap to land.

Everly Smith/FL

"Go ahead, slap me! Is what I am saying wrong? Mother is watching in the sky!"

Samuel Smith

"Dad! What are you doing? You've never hit Eve before! Are you going to hit her now because of an outsider?"

Her two brothers immediately shielded her behind them, and her second brother, Samuel, retorted back angrily.

Aaron Smith

"Dad, this time it really had nothing to do with Eve."

Big Brother Aaron's voice was very light, but his eyes were full of disapproval toward their father's actions.

Adrian Smith

"Is this the kind of person I am in your eyes?"

In the end, Adrian could not bring himself to hit her, and he slowly lowered his hand. A desolate expression appeared in his eyes.

Fiona Rose

"Adrian, don't get angry. Eve is still young and immature..."

Fiona was secretly delighted, and she immediately opened her mouth to play the part of a virtuous woman.

Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, Adrian waved his hand.

Adrian Smith

"I will always be your brother-in-law. In the future, don't give the children any hints for such misunderstandings."

Fiona Rose

"I..."

Fiona was spitting with rage, she wanted nothing more than to rip off Everly's mouth, but on the surface, she had to maintain a pitiful expression.

However, Adrian did not even look at her this time and headed straight for the car.

Everly felt sick watching this scene.

Everly Smith/FL

'No wonder Liana is so good at acting; like mother like daughter.'

Aaron Smith

"Let's go as well."

Returning to the familiar Smith Family home, Everly immediately ran to her familiar room and threw herself onto the bed.

She buried her head in her pillow and her tears finally fell.

Just then, she had been terrified that she wouldn't be able to hold back and would cry in public.

If she did that, her brothers would find it strange, and Liana would also be suspicious...

Only when she had shut herself alone in her room could she let out the complicated and joyous feelings of regaining all that she had lost and being given a second chance at life.

Everly lay there for a long time before sitting up and considering her room.

There was a large image of a skeleton on her ceiling, and her bedspread was dark with images of bones. Her carpet had an image of a hand giving the middle finger.

Everly Smith/FL

"My God, was I crazy in my last life?"

Everly felt physiologically unwell and put a hand to her chest to stop herself from throwing up.

Knock, knock, knock...

Aunt Fu

"Miss Everly, would you like some milk?"

Aunt Fu's carefully modulated voice rang out from outside her door, as if terrified that a single word would trigger her anger.

A lump rose in Everly's throat as the past washed over her like a tide...

After her mother had passed away, Aunt Fu treated her the best. She practically loved her like her own daughter.

However, in her previous life, she had listened to Liana's words and believed that as a servant, Aunt Fu's mothering was an attempt to control her.

Afterward, she had become very cold toward Aunt Fu and demanded that she couldn't call her by her name. Instead, she had to add the title "Miss" as a show of respect.

Even so, Aunt Fu still treated her very well. In her previous life, after she went to prison, Aunt Fu had come to visit her a few times.

Everly Smith/FL

"Aunt Fu, Come in."

Everly answered the knock guiltily and stared at the door as she hugged her pillow.

Aunt Fu

"Miss Everly, the young master said that you barely ate anything at dinner. I just heated up..."

Aunt Fu began speaking enthusiastically the moment she entered, but as she spoke, she was afraid that Everly would become irritated so she carefully stilled her tongue.

Everly Smith/FL

"Thank you, Aunt Fu. I will drink it while it's hot."

Everly slipped off the bed, took the milk from Aunt Fu's hands, and began drinking it immediately.

Aunt Fu stared with disbelief at Everly.

Aunt Fu

'Has the young lady been bewitched? Why is so suddenly so obedient?'

Aunt Fu

"Miss Everly, are you..."

Everly Smith/FL

"Aunt Fu, just call me Eve in the future. Previously, I was immature. I know you want what is best for me. I understand."

Aunt Fu was startled. Looking at the lightly made-up and elegant Everly in front of her, it was as if she saw the charming, polite, and endearing girl of the past.

Everly understood that Aunt Fu might not be able to immediately adjust to her change and she didn't plan to press her too hard.

As time went by, Aunt Fu would slowly come to realize.

Everly Smith/FL

"Oh, right. Aunt Fu, this bedspread and carpet are too ugly."

Everly Smith/FL

"Help me find someone to change all of it tomorrow. As well as all the strange accessories on the shelves, the odd clothes in the wardrobe..."

Everly Smith/FL

"Get rid of everything. Normal style furniture is fine... Aunt Fu? What are you thinking about?"

Halfway through her words, Everly realized that Aunt Fu was staring at her in a daze.

She waved her hands in front of her face and Aunt Fu returned to her senses.

Aunt Fu

"No problem, I'll do that in a moment. Miss... Eve, you've truly grown up now, you've become mature," (said with red eyes)

Everly Smith/FL

"People eventually have to grow up and learn what kind of people are worth treasuring and what kind of people are worth loving."

Everly replied meaningfully with a light smile. She was answering Aunt Fu as well as speaking aloud for herself to hear.
