Chapter 930 In A Dilemma
"The Jing family doesn't have the patience to wait for this kind of research. No wonder Jim abandoned her." Vinton snorted.
"Since there is no love, there will be no result even if they force themselves to be together." Essie sighed. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
"Eva has feelings for me. She didn't forget me. I don't want to give up so easily. Essie, will you help me?"
said Vinton.
She was Eva's best friend, and she had a very important impact on Eva. He believed that she could help him.
"Brother, I can't help much with such kind of relationship," said Essie, slightly sweating.
"Didn't you make a contribution to the progress of the relationship between Eva and Jim?" Vinton frowned, obviously dissatisfied.
Essie guessed that it must be Valery or Elizabeth who had complained her 'bad behavior' in front of him and wanted to drive a wedge between her and Vinton.
"Brother, I thought you were gone at that time. Seeing Eva so sad, I also hoped that she could get out of the shadow and start over." Essie said, "If I know you are still alive, I will definitely help you keep Eva."
"Anyway, you have to help me get Eva back now," said Vinton.
"Brother, to be honest, you are married now. Eva is a mistress when she is with you under such situation. You should know her character. It's impossible for her to accept such a role."
"I know, but I can't divorce Ingrid now. I have to wait for her to give birth to the baby. Besides, his father is very selfish. If I divorce her so soon, he will marry her to an old man," said Vinton.
"If that's the case, it's hard for me to help you. You should know that Jim is not an ordinary person. Even if I try to persuade Eva, with him by my side, I won't succeed. Maybe he will be angry and take Eva to the Civil Affairs Bureau for registration." Essie sighed.
Of course, Vinton knew that Jim was a tough nut to crack. Otherwise, Eva wouldn't have been possessed by him so soon. He decided to strike first to avoid future trouble.
"All you need to do is to persuade Eva not to refuse me so soon and give me a chance," said Vinton.
Essie thought he was just putting her on the spot. She was going to become a ham sausage sandwiched between two pieces of bread.
"Brother, what I can do is to persuade her not to marry Jim too early and buy you time. As for other things, you have to fight for them by yourself," said Essie.
"That's okay. I'm your brother. You must stand on my side, not on Jim's," said Vinton.
"Of course I'm on your side." Essie nodded. "You should know that I really hope that Eva can be my sister-in-law."
If she didn't say that to comfort Vinton, the trick of Valery and Elizabeth to sow discord would succeed.
It was the critical period to their family. Although Baron had appointed Holy as his successor, Valery and Elizabeth wouldn't give up. As soon as Vinton came back, they had hope again. They must urge Vinton and Holy to be enemies and take over the position of successor.
Without Eva, it would not be as easy as before to stabilize Vinton. If Ingrid intervenes again, it would be more troublesome.
On the second day, Essie made an appointment with Eva.
"Eva, how are you doing recently?" she took a sip of green tea and asked slowly.
"Not bad," Eva said indifferently.
"My brother is not so good. He gets drunk every day. This time, he has suffered a lot." Essie sighed.
"I made the decision for the sake of Vinton. Now that he is married and Ingrid is pregnant, it is impossible for us to be together. Why do we still have a fruitless relationship?" Eva said sadly.
"Eva, tell me the truth. Do you really have no feelings for my brother?" she asked.
"Essie, how can I have no feelings for little Vinton? We have been together for so long and are about to get married. How can I forget him in such a short time?" Eva said painfully.
"You want to give up him and choose Jim because of his marriage, right?" asked Essie.
"From the night I had sex with Jim, my relationship with Vinton was over. I once swore that whoever is my first man is my husband, so I can't be with Vinton anymore," said Eva, as if she would stick to it from beginning to the end.
With a sigh, Essie said, "Eva. You should know that my brother won't mind your affair with Jim. He said that even if you have a child with Jim, he won't mind."
Eva pouted, "Essie, are you a lobbyist sent by Vinton?"
Shrugging, Essie said, "After all, he is my brother. Of course I hope you can get back together with him and continue to be my sister-in-law," she said honestly.
Eva sighed, "I can't be your sister-in-law. I'm also your best friend. Our friendship won't change."
"Of course, money is precious, and love is priceless. If it is friendship, I can throw both of them away. No matter what happens, we are best friends and will never change." Essie nodded.
After a moment of silence, Eva took a sip of green tea and asked, "Essie, what do you think of Ingrid?"
"She looks innocent and naive, but in fact, we still have to wait and see. After all, we don't know who she is. We used to think Janice was a kind woman, but we didn't expect her to have such a terrible second personality."
"So we should keep alert, shouldn't we?" said Eva.
"After all, you are her rival in love. No one would hope that their husband had another woman in his heart. She alone will not be a threat to you, I'm afraid that she will be used by Elizabeth and Valery. Three women make a scene. If they work together, it will be terrible."
"You are right." Eva curled her lips and said, "But she came to me yesterday and persuaded me to get back with Vinton. She said that they were all polygamy. A husband could have several wives, so she was willing to share Vinton with me. It seems that she loves Vinton very much. Otherwise, she wouldn't have proposed to share him with me just to make him happy."
"Of course, she would say that. By the time that brother treats you better and ignores her when you are together, she may be very sad."
"That makes sense. I have never seen a wife and a concubine get along well with each other. They are all fighting overtly and covertly, and jealous," Eva said. Besides, polygamy was not allowed in China. Since she had married Vinton, she could only be his mistress, unless they divorced or went to Country F to get married.
"Eva, you should know that my brother loves you very much, so you'd better not be too heartless. Even if you choose Jim, you have to take your time. You can't hurt him. After all, even you can't be a couple.
You can still be friends," said Essie.
Although she knew that Eva was doing this for brother's good and wanted him to let go of her and start a new life and relationship, if she acted too ruthlessly, it would go the opposite and make the other party hate out of love.
If he loved her too deep, he might become painful and hate her as much as he loved her before.
"Essie, I hope my relationship with Vinton can be as good as yours and Hanson," said Eva.
"So you should be gentle and use mild method instead of breaking his heart." Essie said, "Nothing is more lamentable than a dead heart. If his heart is broken, you can't be friends but passers-by or enemy."
The situation between her and Vinton was different from that between her and Hanson.
At that time, it was Hanson who voluntarily gave up their fate, gave up her and engaged to Sunny. So it was not her fault, but Hanson. No matter what choice she made, Hanson would not complain or resent her.
But they were separated because of the tsunami, and Vinton was forced to marry Ingrid. No one was wrong.
So the situation between them was very complicated.
"I don't want to be Vinton's enemy." Eva shook her head.
"So, you have to be gentle. If you really decide to choose Jim instead of my brother, you have to find a way to make him give up on you," said Essie.
"I can't do that. I've always been stupid. How could I think of that?" Eva looked extremely embarrassed.
"Let nature take its course." Essie sighed. A straightforward person like her best friend wouldn't take a detour.
"Okay." Eva lowered her head.
After a short silence, Essie said, "My brother's leg hasn't recovered yet. If possible, can you postpone a little your plan to register with Jim? Let's talk about it after his leg recovers. You know that he almost died this time. But when he came back, he found that he not only lost his beloved woman, but also lost the position of successor. It was a big blow. The doctor said that the treatment of his leg needed confidence and perseverance. If you get married, it will be a fatal blow to him. At that time, he will give up himself and refuse to cooperate with the treatment, which will be terrible."
"It's not a rush to register. Let's cure Vinton's leg first, so that I can rest assured." Eva nodded.
"If it's convenient, you can go to see him. If you are here, he will be in a good mood and the treatment will be more effective." Essie said, "You can take it a chance to put a perfect end to your relationship."
"As long as little Vinton's leg can recover, I'm willing to cooperate," said Eva.
With a smile on her face, Essie held her hand.
After returning home, she called Vinton.
"Brother, I've tried to persuade Eva to postpone their plan to register with Jim. And I've also persuaded her to come to the doctor to see you and help you treat your leg. That's all I can do. The rest depends on yourself."
