Eva Yerbury was a maid who worked for the Shaw family. She was the second generation as her parents were also maids of the Shaw family. However, when Eva was still a five-year-old child, she had followed her parents abroad with the three Shaw brothers to take care of them. That way, Eva, who was originally a child of the maids, became a proper third culture individual living abroad. However, Eva was better than many third culture individuals as she was incredibly fluent in English.
Firstly, it was because she was already five years old when she went abroad, so basic communication skills have already been developed. Secondly, it was also because Eva’s parents do not speak Spanish, so she had been communicating with her parents in English. Also, her three masters were already more than ten years old when went abroad, so the language of communication was English. Therefore, Eva's English was very good and her Spanish was even better.
Even though Eva was a second-generation maid of the Shaw family and her parents were also working as maids abroad, the Shaw family had treated Eva quite well. Eva had gone to school abroad from childhood until her college days. Therefore, Eva had an illusion as if she was a child born into a noble family. She was a popular girl in school as well. However, Eva was extremely picky when it came to getting a boyfriend. She never took a fancy to the usual outstanding boys. All of the boys that she had taken a fancy to came from eminent families abroad.
Once, a prince of a small country in
Wrisland wanted to date Eva, but she did not even take a look at him at all. The reason was that although he was a prince, he was unfashionable like a country bumpkin. Also, his country was smaller than South City, and they had to rely on relief every year in order to live. What was the point of her marrying such a prince? Besides, that prince had a very thick accent when he spoke in Spanish, which had Eva in stitches. The prince got down on one knee in front of the whole school to confess to Eva, but she only treated it as a joke.
With her taste, the perfect husband that she wanted was a man in the actual high society who was at least like Keegan, Caelus, and Lokni. However, Eva never expected that those types of men she had hoped for had never gone after her. Eva had overlooked a problem, which was that men from eminent, extremely wealthy, or extremely powerful families around the world faced the same situation when it came to relationships. Their marriages were to make alliances between two powerful houses. For example, a prince and a princess of two different nations getting married. Both the families were well-matched as they already had similar backgrounds from the very beginning. What about Eva's family background? Was it possible for a powerful nobleman to marry the daughter of two maids? The people abroad cared about that even more than the people in the country. That was why Eva was already more than 30 years old, but she still had no boyfriends. It was fortunate that she was in a more diversified city abroad and she had kept herself in a good shape, so she did not look her age at all.
Because Eva had been putting all her efforts into finding a relatable husband for so many years, she was very mediocre in terms of her personal career. She had never held any serious jobs and had usually been relying on her parents to support her. Other than being skilled in English and Spanish, she did not have any other merits. Without any merits, she still maintained the arrogance of a young lady from the Shaw family. As a result, those elites, who had built a fortune from scratch and had wanted to pursue Eva as she seemed to have a good temperament and appearance, did not dare to pursue her anymore. In the end, Eva became an old maid.
When Eva heard that Keegan wanted to introduce a man to her to be her boyfriend, she cried on the phone as she was touched. "Keegan, is what you . said true? Who is the man that you are going to introduce to me?
Is it from South City?"
Keegan nodded. "Mm-hmm. He is from South City. Do you want to come back and settle down in the country?"
Eva became excited. "Keegan, I'm guessing that since you're the person who is going to be introducing a man to me, then he must be a rich and powerful man in South City who is also a suitable match to the Shaw family. A family that is a good match for the Shaw family should be...the Ford family. It's the Ford family, right? I had that the illegitimate son of the Ford family created such chaos many years ago that there is almost nobody in the family left. It seems like that illegitimate son is the one in charge of the Ford family now, right? Well, he should also be around forty years old, right? He is even an illegitimate son! However, it's fine, Keegan. I'm fine with that illegitimate son of the Ford family as well. I am not picky. I heard that his name is Sebastian Ford, right? Keegan, what does he look like? Is he good-looking? He is not balding and he doesn't have a big belly and a fat face, right?"
