Eva's POV
Only a few hours left before Mark moves in with us, but thanks to God, I am not getting weird thoughts about him like before or feeling any discomfort about living with him, and it all changed because of Janson.
These days, Janson and I are doing better than before. Now we are both trying to have a serious relationship. He tries his best to fulfil his promise not to flirt with other girls and maintain a reasonable gap with Ash. On the other side, I give him my full attention and support.
I'm happy with him and hope it will always be like that. Only thinking about him made me smile. I never thought one day I would feel like that, but it's not a bad feeling now, I know.
I hope everything will be perfect, just as it is now, and I'm ready to face my mom's fiancé wholeheartedly and welcome him into my new family. But I'll still try to maintain a proper distance from him because I don't want to get those weird thoughts or dreams again.
The following day, he will be here with his luggage, thinking that my mind is thinking about his devilishly handsome face.
"Damn it!"
I sighed and shook my head while finally smiling and sleeping on my bed.
Mark's POV
"Ella!" I hugged her warmly while she welcomed me with her beautiful smile.
"Welcome Home!"
This woman is perfect in every way. My mind thought about it, but on the other side, my half-mind wanted to meet Eva.
Even though I want to deny it, my half-mind is attracted to her. Even this whole week, I had many hot dreams about her and her body, which is not a good sign, but no matter how much my mind wanted to see her. I'll never let myself cross my boundaries.
I already thought of maintaining a proper distance from that girl.
"Where is your luggage?" She asked me.
"It's in my car! My driver and man came with them and adjusted everything. You just told them the room!" I explained.
She nodded, and we both went to the couch to sit comfortably.
"Do you want tea, coffee, or juice?" She asked, but I told her I already had breakfast before coming here.
"Then let's check our room!" She said, a bit blushing.
I smirked to see her expression. I know this is a new experience for her, living in a relationship. But it's a good choice. Now I think so.
"Let's go then!" I forgot about her daughter, or never asked about her after entering. I'm here for Ella. I'll remember that.
This way, we both went to the room while she shyly tried to familiarise me with everything. I can see everything is well organised in the bedroom, and it's a bright room with some decent styling.
"The room looks amazing!" I compliment it.
"I'm glad you liked it!" She responded, and I chuckled, going closer to her. I wrapped my arms around her waist. She raised her head while resting her hands on my chest.
I can feel her heartbeat increase. The way I approached her.
I bent to kiss her lips while she closed her eyes tightly, and the next moment her body became stiffer and panicked. I feel a little rejected by how her body reacts, even when she's in my arms.
Her eyes are still closed, like she's pressuring herself to give herself to me.
I sighed helplessly because this was not the first time in these two months. We didn't kiss each other like other couples or do any intimate things because she was still not ready for it, and I understood her.
At this moment, her daughter's voice reaches our ears; she is standing at the door, looking at us with a shocked expression.
At the sound of her daughter's voice, Ella opened her eyes instantly and pulled away from my arms. At the same time, I calmly looked at Eva, whose eyes met mine with a deep gaze, and then at her mom, whose face was already red, but she maintained her posture and looked at her daughter.
"Ohh, honey! You are awake!" Ella went to her side and asked in a motherly tone, while I was still looking at her daughter's face and her every single expression.
"Good morning, Mom! Sorry, I disturbed you! I didn't know Mr Mark had already come!" She responded while smiling, but it didn't reach her eyes at all, and for her last statement, she moved her gaze to me for a second when she again looked at Ella.
Did I imagine, or was her expression precisely what I was thinking?
But I shook my thoughts. It can't be that!!
"Hello, Mr Mark!" Her deep voice brought me back to my senses and made me meet her eyes.
"Hello, Eva!" I greeted her back!
"And please don't call me Mr Mark; you can just call me Mark like Ella!" I added.
"Alright, Mark!" She responded, and I nodded.
"I think I should leave now! You both have a great day! Her smile becomes wide, but why does it feel like she's just mocking me? Because in the last panel, her eyes filled with so many emotions.
Was it my illusion?
"And mom! I will go to my friend's place. So, don't worry!" She turned back again and informed Ella before leaving the room.
After Eva left, I got a call from my driver, who was already there with my luggage.
Ella and I got busy rearranging everything with my things with the help of my men.
In the afternoon, we ate pasta while she made some fresh fruit juice for us. We talk about different things while watching the movie.
That's why I wanted to settle; I no longer want to live alone or a single life. I want a partner who can be with me for my lifetime, and after meeting Ella, I think it's a great idea. She's going to be the perfect wife.
