Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 686 Pursue Him

Eva decided to spend the night at Amelia’s condominium after their talk lasted until eleven. Eva got up early the next day morning to learn cooking from Molly.

One glance at Eva and Molly knew. “Eva, do you have a boyfriend now?”

Eva’s cheeks blushed pink at the question. “He’s still not my boyfriend yet. I’m still pursuing him, but not sure whether he’ll agree.”

Molly frowned. “You’re so pretty, though. Which man can be so cold-hearted to let a pretty girl like you pursue him?”

Eva smiled. “Molly, there are prettier girls out there other than me. Moreover, I used to look like a delinquent, so I understand why he doesn’t like me. He hasn’t gotten a chance to see me after I changed, so I wanted to give him a surprise.”

Molly glanced at her and agreed. “You have changed a lot. You were so tomboyish back then, and now, look at you, you’re so feminine. Men are visual animals. Their first impression is always a woman’s appearance. If the woman isn’t pretty, it’ll be difficult for them to want to know the woman better. All the best, Eva. You’re beautiful now, so don’t worry about not finding a man who truly cares for you. I don’t object to women doing the chasing, but you need the right skill set for that. You can’t make it too easy for him, so playing the cat-and-mouse game is the way to go. Do you understand?”

Eva couldn’t help her laughter. She never expected Molly to be a punster.

After preparing breakfast, Eva carefully set the dishes in the thermal lunchbox to keep them warm.

“I’ll be taking my leave then, Molly. I’m heading to the hospital so tell Amelia to wait for my good news,” Eva said.

“Are you not planning to have some breakfast before you leave?”

“I’m fine. I still have a bus to catch. Else, there’ll be too many people on the bus.”

Eva disappeared out the door like an agile rabbit.

Molly shook her head and continued preparing breakfast.

During breakfast, Amelia asked, “Where’s Eva, Molly?”

“She learned how to make breakfast in the early mornings, saying it was for the man she likes. She was gone the minute she was done. I wonder who the lucky man is to receive such sincerity from that girl?”

Amelia had a thoughtful expression on her face.

Eva’s feelings are bare for all to see. It all depends on James’ attitude now. I’ll ask Oscar to forcibly transfer him elsewhere if James doesn’t know how to appreciate it. Even the most profound feelings will fade and finally disappear as time passes.

When Molly returned to the kitchen, Amelia asked, “Oscar, I need a favor from you. Can you probe James about Eva? She can’t control her feelings for him, and I don’t want her to waste her passion for a man that doesn’t appreciate it. She’s my cousin after all.”
