Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel
A frown formed between Louie’s brows as he pondered. There was a thing that Julian didn’t even know about. Back when Louie was ten years old, his parents had arranged an alliance marriage between him and a girl from another family to raise funds. Even after his parents passed away, the other family still insisted on realizing the marriage.
The caller was none other than his so-called fiancée. The hotel restaurant had specifically provided them the dinner, and the chef had paid special care when cooking them. Besides, the dining table in the room was decorated with lighted candles and roses in a vase, which gave off a romantic vibe.
Eva hid in the bedroom the whole time until the server set up the table and served the food. After that, she finally walked out of the room because she didn’t want to reveal the relationship between her and Louie to the public.
“Come here. Let’s eat.” Louie gestured for her to join him.
She took a seat near the table and shifted her attention to the dainty roses in the vase. She was lightened by the sight of them. Deciding not to let the more serious business trouble her mind, she proceeded to have dinner.
Surprisingly, Louie ordered the whole table of food according to her preference, which reminded her of his dedication. Even though her expression remained unchanged, deep down inside, she was touched by his gesture. After all, it was impossible to remain indifferent when another person was treating you with care and full attention.
“You didn’t have to order my favorite food,” Eva mumbled.
“I’ve become fond of your favorite food. After all, your preference will become more similar to the person you like when you fall for somebody. ” The corner of Louie’s lips turned into a smile, and his gaze that fell on her was full of affection.
Eva shied away from his intense gaze. Instead, she began to dine elegantly while he opened a bottle of wine and served her half a glass. Swirling the glass, she tasted a bit of it and concluded that it was one of the fine wines.
Little did she know, Louie never had his attention on the food on the table for even one second. To him, she was the only one he wanted to taste tonight.
Indescribable feelings flooded his chest tonight, but he knew for sure that he was overwhelmed by joy. However, he wasn’t the kind of man who let his emotions show. Therefore, she would never know that he was struggling to control his inner beast under the calm fa?ade.
Louie had been waiting for Eva for five years. He witnessed her transformation from a pure soul to a mature woman like an eventually ripened fruit, and it was calling him to have a taste.
“Do you like the wine? I bought it from Averna, especially for you to try.”
“It’s good.” Eva nodded, acknowledging that his taste had never gone wrong, or else the female celebrities would never throw themselves at him after one another.
All those years, she had been learning that a lot of celebrities sought opportunities from Louie. After all, a person would easily be indulged in pleasure without absolute self-discipline and self-control in the celebrity circle.
However, she also learned that he rejected all those attempts to seduce him. Thus, she couldn’t help but wonder sometimes if Louie really liked her.
Eva was a perfectionist, and she wanted full loyalty from him.
She wasn’t the kind of woman who sought one-time pleasure. If he couldn’t promise her his loyalty, she wouldn’t begin a relationship in the first place.
Eva could then spare herself from being heartbroken by another man and the inevitable ending.
Louie’s intense gaze never left her for a moment. He was trying to memorize her beauty with his eyes. The sight of her tilting her head to think, her gazing into a distance on a propped elbow, or her being lost in thought while staring at the glass… Every sight of her was memorable to him. He wanted nothing but to cherish them.
At that moment, Louie felt a pang of panic and anxiety tainting his joy. Eva only agreed to accompany him for the night in return for her freedom.
He was panicked because he would only get to own her for a night but lose her the next day.
“Eva, am I not qualified to be your boyfriend?” Grabbing the wine glass in one hand, Louie shot her the question that troubled him the most.
Based on Louie’s observation, Eva had moved on from the impact her ex-boyfriend left on her. Thus, it was about time for her to start a new relationship.
He was confident that he met all of her standards for a partner, which confused him why she decided to leave him. “You’re an excellent man, but I’m not good enough for you,” she mocked herself.
“Don’t mess with me. What makes you think you are not good enough? We’re the perfect match.” Louie harrumphed.
A smile stretched across Eva’s face then. “President Gilmore. You aren’t the only one to decide whether we are a perfect match or not.” “Fine. We’ll see about it tonight,” he answered petulantly.
She blushed at the explicit words. Even the tip of her ears was showing a hint of red at the realization. Did he just talk dirty to me? Where did the usually serious Louie go?
She let his teasing slip, but she wasn’t in the mood to continue the conversation. After the night, they would part ways and become strangers, and she would have her freedom back.
“Eat some more.” He gestured for her to eat.
Eva only answered with a shake of her head. She had been maintaining a reasonable diet over the years, which was her secret to staying in shape. Even though there were a lot of promising youths emerging in the industry, so far nobody could surpass her. She always remained the top celebrity in Stardom Entertainment.
However, she was aware that many people, who were coveting her position, wanted her to leave the company.
As the night got late, she also got tense because she had no idea how to ease up.
“It’s getting late. Why don’t we go to bed?” Louie was behaving like a gentleman instead of jumping at her without permission.
“It’s not. Don’t you have work to do? Why don’t you deal with them first?” Eva was hoping for him to steer his focus to his work instead of her, so she could have some more time to be prepared for what came up next.
“I asked them not to disturb me tonight. You can rest assured. Nobody will interrupt us for what’s coming,” he comforted her in a low voice. Not even the doomsday could stop him from getting what he had been longing for. After all, tonight was an important occasion.
Louie’s determination left her at a loss for words. Walking away to the sofa, she took a seat and had some tea. Suddenly, his phone rang, and it grabbed her attention. She cast a glance at the caller ID. It was indeed a woman, but the caller’s relationship with Louie remained a secret to her.
“It’s ringing. You should answer it!” Eva reminded him.
“It’s not important.” Louie’s answer was short as he turned off his phone. Eva was just about to turn around to the balcony to look at the night view when he grabbed her arm without warning. The next second, she was dragged behind by the force and fell into his lap.
She was now sitting on the sofa with him grabbing her arm as her petite stature leaned against his chest. Putting her hands on his chest, a flushed Eva struggled to get up, but he nonetheless stopped her.
“Eva, I want you tonight,” Louie said in a hoarse voice tainted by lust. His thin lips kept pressing kisses on her hair. His patience had reached its limit, and he couldn’t wait any longer.
“It’s still—” Eva tried to fight for more time when he dominantly kissed her to block her protests. To him, one night would never be enough. Therefore, he wouldn’t waste any time whatsoever.
When he carried her into his arms, she shut her eyes in resignation, but her body was shaking uncontrollably.
It both surprised and hurt him too to see her in a vulnerable state. “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing.” She buried her head in his chest, not willing to look at him.
He then asked in a low tone, “Is this your first time?”
Eva wanted to give him a negative answer, but the truth was the opposite. Thus, she could only shut her eyes tightly, returning his question with silence.
On the other hand, Louie was overjoyed. He couldn’t quite believe her tacit admission because he had always thought that Eva had slept with Tucker in the past. To his surprise, she was destined to belong to him in the end.
Now that he was fueled by his excitement, Louie pressed an affectionate kiss to her forehead. “Have you been waiting for me?”
“Of course not.” Eva averted her gaze, not giving in to stroke his ego.
