After shopping for hours, they both had their hands full of shopping bags.
Eva felt happy after meeting her friend, who filled her with all kinds of gossip. They talked for hours. Eva used to forget all her worries about her.
Her smile did not leave her face after returning home after picking up Grayson from school. She was truly happy.
Grayson insisted on playing with his mom after coming home. They went to a park, and Grayson played there while Eva talked to other moms. Playing for hours, Grayson was tired when they returned home.
But Eva made him complete his homework which he got from school.
After dinner, she tucked Grayson into his bed to sleep. Then she went to her room.
Ethan had said that he would come late. But still, Eva waited for him over dinner. Finally, after some time of waiting for her husband to come back, she ate dinner and went to her bedroom.
She was so tired that as soon as her body hit the soft mattress, she fell asleep. In the middle of the night, she heard some noise in her sleep, knowing her husband was back. She kept sleeping.
Ethan came home at midnight. He changed and lay beside Eva. He kept staring at her face for some time with unknown emotion in his eyes. Finally, he closed his eyes, and soon sleep engulfed his tired mind.
Today was the day when they were celebrating their company's success. Ethan left early in the morning, throwing his order on Eva to get ready on time in the evening.
In the evening, wearing a red backless gown, Eva looked very beautiful. She saw herself in the mirror and murmured, " Not bad, Eva Tylor! " Giggling, she put some makeup on her face, finishing with red lipstick and mascara on her big blue eyes. She was indeed a beauty. She could be a model if she wasn't married and decided to become a housewife. With a perfect figure and a beautiful young face, nobody could say that she was the mother of a 5-year-old boy.
She admired herself one more time in the mirror and then twisted her wrist to see the time on her watch. It's almost time. She went down the stairs to find Ethan's assistant and bodyguard Trevon standing there.
"Good evening, Mrs. Tylor ." He greeted Eva.
Eva smiled, nodding her head in response.
" The car is ready for you. "
" Okay, let's leave. " Eva gestured to him to lead the way.
After reaching the venue, she searched in the crowd for Ethan. She found him standing there with a group of people discussing something, maybe business? She thought.
Feeling her presence, Ethan turned toward her.
He smiled and gestured to her to come to hold his hand out. 'Time to act like a sweet husband', Eva rolled her eyes in her mind.
She sighed silently and took his hand. He introduced her as his beautiful wife in his circle.
Getting bored between business talks, she looked around the hall to find something that would make this boring evening interesting.
She excused herself for a drink.
Holding her glass, she went to the adjacent balcony.
Her phone started ringing. Seeing it was from home, she instantly picked it up.
" Hello, Mary? What happened? " She asked Grayson's nanny Mary.
" Madam, Grayson has a fever. He is crying and asking for you." Mary told her, "That's why I bothered you in the middle of the party. "
" Oh, my baby," Eva cried in her heart. "Mary, I am coming home. Please give him some medicine. "
"Okay, madam, " Mary replied.
Eva disconnected the phone and went straight to Ethan, who was laughing with his people while enjoying his success party.
" Ethan !" Eva tugged his arm.
" Eva, can't you see I am in the middle of a conversation?" Ethan said with a cold expression.
" I know, but this is important. It's about our son Grayson. " Eva whispered, hoping no one noticed the trembling in her voice.
Ethan grabbed her hand, almost dragging her through the crowd to a corner. His expressions were now scary enough. His eyes were shooting daggers towards her. She knew by the looks he was very angry.
" Why do you always behave childishly, Eva? When will you learn that my work is more important than your nonsense talk? " Saying this, he jerked Eva's hand with force and left to join his people again.
Eva silently cried in pain, shooting through her arm. Then, tears started pooling in her blue eyes.
She wiped her eyes with the back of her palm. This pain was nothing to the pain in her heart.
She looked once again towards her cruel husband, who was busy speaking to his business guests and left the venue with hurried steps. No one would notice her absence. Her husband would definitely not mind her missing the party.
With this thought, tears again started running out of her eyes. She stopped a taxi outside and took a seat. After giving instructions to the driver, she called home to find out how her son was now and to inform Mary that she was coming.
Rain was pouring down the road as her eyes were also pouring with the thought that Ethan didn't love anyone other than his work. Not his son. The last hope of love in her heart died with this thought.
She told the cab driver to drive fast. She wanted to reach home soon. She had made her decision. She had already wasted her youth in this marriage. Now it was time to make a decision for her son and herself.
