Every Breath You Take novel Chapter 93

As the saying goes, a quiet conscience sleeps in thunder. Although Eva was not worried that Zoe would find out something, she was still not at ease.

She got off work at night and went home. When she opened the door, she saw a room of lights, but she couldn't see Jim. She knew that Jim must be carving in his bedroom.

When would he stop doing it?! Eva sighed and threw the bag on the sofa and sat down.

There was a black-and-white photo of Hannah Mo hanging on the wall in front of her. In the photo, Hannah had a beautiful and dazzling smile. Eva felt more and more upset.

It seemed that she was the winner in the fight against Hannah, but only she and Jim knew it was not true. Although Jim was living with her, they were not lovers but roommates. In all these years, he had never slept with her.

She had tried to seduce Jim, but she failed. Eva felt that she was very cheap. She knew that Jim only loved Hannah, but she didn't want to leave him.

She was not unwronged or unresentful. Every time she felt that she couldn't hold on, she would give vent to Hannah's photo in the living room. "Hannah, did you see that? Your beloved man is living with me. Your husband is with your best friend, and your daughter's man is now her sister's. Let me tell you, this is retribution. I will treat your daughter as what you did to me. I will let your daughter experience what I've suffered. Hannah Mo, you wait and see how I will let your daughter suffer step by step!"

After she repeated it for more than ten times, she would feel better and have the ability to hold on.

This day was no different. Eva sneered at Hannah's photo. "Hannah, your daughter and the son of your beloved man are in love. But don't worry, I won't let her be with him. I will let your beloved man tear them apart. We'll see!"

After saying that, Eva felt better. She got up and knocked on Jim's door, but there was no response. She pushed the door open and saw Jim sitting on the ground and carving.

The wood carving had already taken shape, and it could be seen that it was a woman. Since Hannah died, Jim had done nothing but carve wood. Every woodcarving was Hannah, laughing or angry, standing or sitting. He would carve out everything he could imagine about her appearance. In the house where they lived, there was a whole room for wood carvings.

Eva suppressed the angry in her heart and stood by Jim's side. "Jim, I want to talk to you."

"I'm busy. Let's talk tomorrow!" Jim didn't even give her a look.

"It's about Roland!" Hearing that, Jim stopped. It could be seen that his son was important to him. "What's the matter?"

"I heard that Roland was with that divorced woman again. You'd better go and persuade him!" She was the one who told him that Roland falls in love with Monica last time. She said that Monica was a cheap divorced woman. Jim was so angry that he flew abroad to ask for Old Mr. Wang's help.

"What did you say?" As expected, Jim's expression changed when he heard it. He put down the wooden carving in and stood up. "I'll call Old Mr. Wang."

Seeing that Jim went to make a phone call, Eva sneered. "Jim, if you know that your son likes Hannah's daughter, will you still stop him?"

After Jim's call, Old Mr. Wang immediately flew to Jiang City. The first thing he did after arriving here was to let his bodyguards invite Monica and Xanjer for dinner.

Old Mr. Wang was really angry. Last time, after Monica left, he felt guilty. But he didn't expect that she would play tricks and be with Roland again. Since she wanted to go against him, she couldn't blame him for being heartless. He had already thought of a way to deal with Monica.

Monica was brought to the hotel before Xanjer was. When she saw Old Mr. Wang's gloomy face, she immediately understood his purpose. She wanted to explain that she had nothing to do with Roland. At the same time, Xanjer arrived here.

"Uncle, why are you here?" Monica stood up and stopped Xanjer. "Uncle, it has nothing to do with you. You may go back now. I will explain it clearly to Old Mr. Wang."

"I invited him here." Old Mr. Wang picked up his teacup leisurely without giving Xanjer a look. "Miss Mo looks like you didn't take what I said to you last time seriously. So I want to talk about it again with Mr. Mo."

"Fine! I'd love to!" Xanjer came forward and said, "How are you, Old Mr. Wang?"

Old Mr. Wang, who was drinking, suddenly looked up when he heard Xanjer's words. When he saw Xanjer's appearance clearly, he was so surprised that the cup in his hand suddenly tilted, and the tea ran over his clothes.

Monica was very surprised by Old Mr. Wang's gaffe. Xanjer stepped forward and took the cup from Old Mr. Wang's hand and put it on the table. He turned to Monica and said, "Moni, you go out first. I want to talk to him!"

"No, I want to stay with you!" Monica was unwilling to leave. Old Mr. Wang was a scheming man who had been in the business for decades, while Xanjer was just a simple- minded ordinary person. How could he be Old Mr. Wang's opponent?

The most important thing was that she was the one who caused this. She had to deal with it.

Xanjer smiled faintly and picked up a tissue to wipe the tea off Old Mr. Wang's body. "Don't worry, I'm not that cowardly."

Old Mr. Wang also came to his senses, and he immediately returned to normal. His voice was completely different from before, which was less domineering and sounded much softer. He said, "Miss Mo, you go back first. I have something to say to your uncle."

Seeing that Monica did not leave, he raised his voice and ordered the bodyguards. "Send Miss Mo back!" At the same time, Roland rushed over. "Grandpa, what are you doing? It has nothing to do with them."

"Roland, you came just in time. Take Miss Mo to dinner. I want to talk to Mr. Mo."

"But..."

"Don't worry. I won't eat him."

"Yeah. You can rest assured and go to eat." Xanjer added.

Roland took Monica away and left. The door was closed. Old Mr. Wang stared at Xanjer. He was really surprised. He had never dreamed that Xanjer was that guy. "What's going on? How did you become Xanjer?"

"It's a long story." Xanjer sat down, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of tea. He moved with the utmost grace, without the fainthearted look of his former self. "Not long after I returned to Jiang City, the real Xanjer died of illness. At that time, everyone was looking for me. I was really annoyed, so I lived as Xanjer."

"No wonder I was unable to find you before." Old Mr. Wang sighed deeply. "Why did you do that? Is that woman worth it?"

"Of course!" Xanjer replied, "Life is short. I will only do what I want."

"Sigh! Being an ordinary person is really what you, a genius designer, want?" Old Mr. Wang shook his head regretfully, completely forgetting why he had asked Xanjer to come here.

Xanjer smiled slightly. "Old Mr. Wang, let's get down to business." "You are not real Xanjer. What's the point of me talking to you?"

"For Moni, I am her uncle, and I am used to be Xanjer. You can say whatever you want."

"Can I?" Old Mr. Wang sighed. "Your appearance really surprised me. I forgot what I was going to do tonight."

"Well, in that case, I'll go first. Old Mr. Wang, we are acquaintances, so let's get straight to the point. I hope you won't tear Moni and Roland apart."

Old Mr. Wang gave a wry smile. "Francisco, you and I are old friends. Naturally, I will not refuse your request. Flowever, Monica is Flannah's daughter. If Roland knows that..."

"Flow will he know? There are only a few people who know about this matter. If we don't tell him, he will never know the truth."

"But paper can't cover the fire. Can this matter be hidden forever?" Old Mr. Wang thought it wouldn't work.

"I know what you mean, but it's not easy for a playboy to find a woman he likes. Old Mr. Wang, do you want him to be sad? To be honest, based on what I've experienced, I think love can surpass everything. Jim and I are examples. We'd all die for an impossible woman. Do you want to see Roland become like us?" Xanjer continued, "What's more, Roland probably doesn't know that Jim abandoned him for Hannah. After all, Eva is the one who lives with Jim now."

"I..." Old Mr. Wang naturally did not want his grandson to become the second Jim, but when he thought that Roland, who had a promising future, would be with a single mother, he felt depressed. However, Roland was not a pushover. If he pissed him off, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"I know your worries. I didn't ask you to support them. I only hope you won't tear them apart. If Moni and Roland are destined to be together, you can't stop them. If not, it's only a matter of time before they split up. Do you understand?"

Old Mr. Wang knew what Xanjer meant. He was silent for a while and finally nodded. "Fine. Let nature take its course!"

"Thank you very much, Old Mr. Wang!" Xanjer clasped his fist in thanks.

Although Roland and Monica went to have dinner, they were not in the mood to eat. They had been paying attention to the movements in the private room. Finally, they saw the door open. Xanjer and Old Mr. Wang came out one after another.

Both of them looked calm. Roland and Monica went to greet them. Xanjer said first, "Moni, send me back!" Then he turned his head, saying goodbye to Old Mr. Wang and Roland politely.

Monica helped Xanjer out of the hotel. After getting in the car, she looked at Xanjer worriedly. "Uncle, did Old Mr. Wang embarrass you? I'm sorry!"

"No, Old Mr. Wang is a very polite elder," Xanjer answered.

Monica did not believe it. "Uncle, I will make it clear to him later. It's my fault. I'll let him not disturb you in the future."

"Moni, we have made it clear. When he heard what you had been through, he took pity on you and admired you. He said that he will no longer oppose you being with Roland. So if you like Roland, you can rest assured. No one will stop you!"

Monica was a little surprised. She did not believe that her uncle could convince Old Mr. Wang. But now even if Old Mr. Wang did not stop her, she was not in the mood to start a relationship, because her son was still in danger. "Uncle, I won't like anyone. I only care about the safety of Coco now. Other things are not important."

"Don't worry! Coco will be fine." Xanjer comforted her. "I think Roland is a good man. You can try to be with him."

Monica naturally knew that. However, if Roland knew that her mother was his most hated woman, would he still like her? "Uncle, I have something to ask you. Did Mom have a relationship with Roland's father?"

"How did you know that?" Xanjer looked at Monica in shock.

"Roland's father abandoned his wife and son for my mom?"

"You can't say that." Xanjer's reply made Monica's heart sink. Roland couldn't ever forgive his father. How could he forgive her? Did she really deserve Roland's love?

On the other side, Roland helped his grandpa get in the car. "Grandpa, I'm telling you this with all seriousness. I took the initiative to pursue her. I've thought about it carefully. You know my character. I won't give up. I hope that you will not disturb Xanjer and Monica again."

Old Mr. Wang sighed in his heart. If Roland knew that Monica was the child of the woman he hated the most, would he still say that?

Suddenly, he felt sorry for his grandson. He finally had a crush on a woman, but she was the daughter of his most hated woman. If he knew that, how sad would he be? Forget it, let nature took its course! He thought to himself. "Roland, I'll stay out of it. I only hope that you can focus on your work and don't let me down!"

This meant that he would not stop him from dating Monica. Roland could not believe it. "Grandpa, are you having a fever?"

"Boy, how can you curse me?"
