Chapter 1398 A sense of superiority NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Eva’s words dispelled Natalie’s suspicion that she relied on trading sex. “I understand now. Your experience is a bit similar to mine, except I had better grades and got into a prestigious university, which helped me establish myself. Being a woman is not easy, I can understand you.”
Natalie didn’t show overt rejection, but her words carried a sense of superiority that made Eva uncomfortable. Eva looked up at Jayden, who seemed oblivious to his mother’s implications. and didn’t speak up for her. Instead, he focused on serving her various foods.
Eva used her fork and knife to move the food on her plate but didn’t eat. Jayden noticed and asked with concern, “What’s Wrong? Is it not to your liking?”
Eva shook her head. Natalie glanced at the two of them and quickly called a waiter. After ordering from the menu, she handed it to Eva. “Miss Miller, if you don’t like the food, don’t force yourself. Order something more to your taste. My family has some money, we can afford it, so don’t hesitate.”
Upon hearing this, Eva looked at the wealthy woman, then at the middle-aged man silently sipping his red wine, before finally turning her gaze to Jayden. Seeing his approval, she smiled and said, “Then let’s order a few more dishes.”
Natalie thought the two moderately priced dishes were too
cheap, so she also ordered a few signature dishes and a bottle of Lafite. As the waiter left with a smile, Natalie adjusted her silk beige dress.
Eva recognized that every stitch of the dress was handcrafted, but she didn’t pay much attention to Natalie’s constant displays of wealth in front of her.
Noticing that Eva didn’t try to flatter or please her, Natalie was also tactful and withdrew her hand from touching the clothes. “Miss Miller, what I’m about to say might offend you, but you know my son. He hasn’t had much dating experience or been married, so I am quite curious about your past. Can you tell us why you divorced your ex-husband?”
Eva turned to Jayden and asked, “Did you not tell your parents about this?”
Before Jayden could respond, Natalie interrupted, “He did tell me. After you two confirmed your relationship, Jayden mentioned it to us, but he didn’t go into the details. I thought I would wait until we met in person to have a proper chat.”
Since Natalie put it this way, Eva no longer had a reason to question Jayden. After hesitating for a couple of seconds, she uncovered her own scars without any concealment. “I divorced my ex-husband because he cheated on me with his sister. When I found out, their child was already over nine months old.”
