Hearing that, Paul turned into anger. He protected Eva behind his back and said angrily to Stephen, "Dad, anyway, Eva is my wife. You don't have to worry about it for me."

After a pause, Paul continued, "Dad, have you heard the rumors on the Internet, you must have misunderstood Eva. Will you let me explain?"

Stephen ignored Paul's excuse, but stared at Eva with a pair of serious and gloomy eyes.

Eva was nervous, and her grip on Paul's sleeve tightened.

Feeling the pull on the sleeve, Paul had a sense of helplessness in the face of this situation, one was his wife, who must be well protected, and the other was his dad, whom he could not quarrel with.

Now Paul had a profound understanding of the so-called dilemma.

Restlessly, Paul pressed his long finger to his temple. Feeling a little breathless, he reached out and pulled at his tie, and then continued to explain, "I know you won't listen to what I'm saying right now, but let me just tell you that the Internet is full of rumors. Here is the thing. Eva was kidnapped, and I was injured in hospital to save her. It was not the rumor that Eva was playing with my feelings."

"Dad! Think it over calmly." Paul gave a hoarse roar.

The atmosphere suddenly solidified, even Eva could feel the trace of air across her face.

Finally, after a long silence, Stephen broke the silence.

"Fuck off."

Stephen opened his mouth and tapped his cane and shouted, suddenly Paul lost his temper, planning to take Eva to go home, and this matter would be discussed later.

Just as Paul was about to leave with her, Stephen suddenly said, "I told you to go away, not Eva."

Paul frowned, turned around and asked, "Dad, what do you want Eva to do?"

Stephen glared at Paul and scolded him with a cold tone, "I want to go to the family hall with Eva for a dialogue. It's none of your business. Now you quickly disappear in my eyes."

Paul also wanted to leave this house quickly, but there was one point, he must ensure Eva's safety.

The attitude of Stephen was unclear now, and he was afraid that Eva would be wronged there.

When Paul wavered, Eva shook his hand and made a relaxed expression, as if she had said to Paul, "Don't worry about me"

Eva also had her own code of conduct, and she would not choose to escape from such an inevitable conversation or rely on Paul to avoid it. Moreover, now when Paul was in a dilemma, she should consider for him in his position.

She also wanted to use her actual action to tell Paul that she could take charge of a side alone, and she was not the little woman who had always needed his protection.

Paul pondered for a while, finally decided to let Eva go to have a talk with his dad, after all, he also understood Stephen's character.

"Be careful." Paul whispered to Eva.

Eva smiled and nodded.

Paul went out with clenched fists and a worried face.

Eva was still a little nervous, thinking that Stephen might say something bad to her, or asking her to leave his son immediately, or even speaking abusive words to her, but he just stood still, temporarily did not want to speak to her.

Eva only felt the atmosphere around was a little awkward, and she was thinking maybe Stephen would show his aggressiveness in this way.

As time went by, Eva worried that Paul did not want to wait and rushed in to have a conflict with Stephen, so she became more anxious. But Stephen still did not speak, and as the younger generation, she was too shy to speak, so she stood aside in equal silence.

After a while, Eva noticed that Stephen was standing to look at a spirit tablet.

Eva had a good eyesight, and what she saw was: My Wife, Catherine.

"Pour a cup of tea for your mother-in-law."

Stephen said to Eva with emotions, his voice showing some vicissitudes of life, as if he had endless sadness and regret.

Seeing Stephen handed over the tea, Eva obviously was still perplexed, and she did not bring back to herself from the attitude of Stephen.

When Stephen saw Eva standing there, he sighed and asked slowly, "Do you think I'm going to get angry when I read the news on the Internet?"

Eva nodded very honestly, and Paul and she really thought that this time Stephen had called them over to scold them.

"Alas..." Stephen walked with a cane and coughed. Then he continued, "I called you here just to let you know that I have not lost my mind, Paul and you did not admit your identity as a couple outside. Now do you still want to deny it?"

Unexpectedly, Stephen had actually inferred from this incident that she and Paul had a confidential agreement. Eva was a little flustered, but turned to think, was it the reason why Stephen just became angry?

"Yes, I'm sorry. Dad, Paul and I shouldn't be hiding it from you, I'm so sorry." Eva dared not play tricks at the moment, so she had to be honest.

"Fine, I will ignore this matter, anyway, you should serve tea for your mother-in-law first." Stephen pointed with his cane to the tablet with the name of his wife, Catherine.

It turned out that this was the spirit tablet of Paul's biological mom. Eva respectfully took the tea and knelt down to formally served her with a cup of tea.

At this time, she understood why Stephen had asked her to kneel down in the first place. However, Paul and she were too sensitive, which was why until now she understood Stephen's intention. It was really ridiculous.

Stephen watched Eva complete the ceremony with his own eyes. Then he smiled kindly and said to her, "This is the complete completion of the ceremony of becoming our family member."

Eva was suddenly moved and promised, "Dad, I will do a good job as Paul's wife."
