Chapter 87 Protecting Her
Darcy whispered, "Eva, how could you be so disrespectful to Mrs. L?" Darcy continued, "Mrs. L, get up quickly, don't get wet!"
She leisurely walked over and helped Winnie up. Eva immediately became furious by Darcy’s actions, "Darcy, why do you care about her? Is she worthy?"
"What are you, Winnie? Everyone knows that you schemed to have Mr. L's child with ulterior motives. It's well-known that you were only going to be around for a year. Today, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of Mr. L for being such a manipulative woman." As Eva spoke, she raised half a cup of alcohol.
"Eva! Your brother entrusted me to take care of Mrs. L. What are you doing?" Darcy tried to persuade Eva helplessly.
The moment she mentioned it, Eva remembered Benjamin's secret invitation to Winnie again! Seeing Winnie's stunning face, Eva felt jealous. When Winnie glanced at Darcy, there was a meaningful look in her eyes.
As Eva's drink came pouring in, Winnie didn't hold back and instantly grabbed her wrist, redirecting the pouring alcohol onto Eva's delicate face!
"Ahh!" Eva didn't expect this and was now covered in cold liquid, the cup even hitting her head. Screams echoed in the private room, but footsteps were heard outside, causing a commotion.
"What's going on?" Benjamin was the first to rush in, and he was stunned seeing the three women inside the room.
Winnie turned her head at the sound, only to see L, wearing black shirt and trousers, standing tall next to Benjamin.
The man had an innate charisma, wherever he stood, his perfectly proportioned body became the center of attention. With his silver mask and deep-set cheekbones, it was hard to see clearly in the dim lighting, but his eyes, deep as black nets, instantly captured Winnie! Her eyelashes trembled, and upon seeing him after so many days, her face turned pale, her delicate skin translucent and fragile.
L’s gaze fell deeply on her face, locking onto her. Seeing the deep affection and ardor in the man's eyes as he met Winnie's gaze, Darcy pursed her lips.
Eva also saw L and her eyes lit up, immediately running towards the upright man while crying, pointing at Winnie to complain, "Mr. L! This woman dared to pour alcohol on me! She really thinks she's your wife. She dared to bully me. Mr. L, you have to stand up for me!"
She cried as if she had suffered a great injustice. The man looked at Winnie, his eyes dark and cold. Winnie met his gaze, her face cold, and she thought if he still defended Darcy like that night... she decided to divorce him!
"Why is there alcohol in this private room?" L asked the manager coldly. The manager trembled and said, "Miss Martin insisted on having it."
The sudden glare from L frightened Eva. The man's deep and cold voice measured, "If she poured it on you, it's fine. But if you poured it on her, my child could end up drinking it, Eva."
His words made Eva tremble all over, unable to believe it. Winnie was also a little incredulous about his attitude. This bastard... he defended her without even asking?
Nobody paid attention to her, as she confidently walked with long legs and sat on the main sofa in the private room. Benjamin glanced at Eva with disdain and warned,
"Who allowed you to come here? Let me remind you, don't cause any trouble." He was fed up with this arrogant cousin of his.
"Don't take her side. Who is your sister?" Eva couldn't help but feel angry and glared at Winnie, the cunning fox.
Darcy immediately broke the silence in the private room by pulling Winnie to L’s side and smiling gently, saying, "Eva was just being unreasonable earlier, let's not get upset. Mrs. L, why don't you sit next to Mr. L and reconcile?"
She appeared to be the peacemaker, and L looked over, satisfied. His deep gaze settled on Winnie.
Winnie glanced at Darcy, brushed her off, and coldly refused to sit in the seat next to L. She remarked, "Why is Darcy being so enthusiastic?" Her aversion made L’s face darken, and even Benjamin felt embarrassed.
Darcy was at a loss and said hesitantly, "I'm sorry, Mrs. L. After all these days, I thought you would have forgiven Mr. L..."
Her seemingly conciliatory words made L lose face even more, and his gaze turned icy cold.
Unable to contain her anger, Eva exclaimed, "Darcy, why are you being so friendly to her? She acts so high and mighty, without even knowing who she truly is!"
This time, L didn't refute Eva's words. His cold gaze filled the private room with frost.
Winnie remained quiet and cast a glance at Darcy. She lowered her head, looking melancholic, and couldn't see her eyes, but Winnie noticed the quiet determination at the corner of Darcy's eyes.
Winnie understood in her heart that when she brushed Darcy off earlier, it was a test. And her rejection had angered L, which led Eva to defend Darcy.
Simple-minded people are easily manipulated, aren't they? Like Eva.
Winnie's lips curved slightly, and she heard L speak in a low voice, "Darcy, you sit where you were."
Darcy obediently nodded. "Mr. L, it's normal for Mrs. L to be angry."
"Do you really think of yourself as a delicacy?" Eva forcefully pushed Winnie aside.
The man frowned and glanced at Winnie, their gazes colliding. His ink-black eyes showed a mix of emotions, but he didn't say anything.
Being pushed aside by Eva, Winnie stepped back as she saw her sitting next to the man's long legs, admiring him. Annoyed, Eva sarcastically said, "Mr. L, I still can't understand how you fell for a woman like her. From a humble background with a notorious reputation, her child doesn't even deserve to be your child. Luckily, the agreement will be terminated in a few months, and Mr. L will be back to being single..."
Seeing Winnie humiliated like this, the man's expression remained indifferent and cold.
With audacity, Eva took a seat beside L.
L furrowed his brows and immediately wanted to get rid of this obnoxious woman, but out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Winnie, who was gazing at them.
He did not push her away, which made Eva's heart leap with joy. She arrogantly glanced at Winnie, causing ripples in her heart.
"Mr. L..." Eva coquettishly and charmingly said, "After your divorce, would you consider the Martin family? My cousin and you are like brothers, we're practically family. Although I know marrying you is climbing up the social ladder, I am younger and more tender than Winnie. I am not a second-hand good!"
She mocked Winnie and boldly touched the man's shirt, her hand sliding upward towards his strong chest. The warmth of his muscles could be felt through his shirt, and his mature physique made Eva blush.
Benjamin's mouth twitched, almost wanting to kick this foolish girl away! L’s dark eyebrows furrowed; his eyes slightly squinted.
However, Eva thought he was considering it and leaned in closer. Darcy looked at her provocative appearance with patience, waiting for this moment. She quickly looked towards Winnie.
"Just leave, let go of your anger. We'll never be friends again after tonight!"
L also gazed deeply at Winnie, waiting for a reaction.
Winnie’s face turned cold. Suddenly, she rushed over in a single stride, grabbed a glass of water from the table, and splashed it on Eva's delicate face. This time, the force was stronger, and the ice cubes made Eva tremble. "Ah, Winnie, you splashed me again! Are you crazy?"
"I think Miss Martin is probably drunk. Let me help you sober up so that you don't act indecently in public and end up in the police station." Winnie narrowed her eyes and said coldly.
She couldn't bear to see L’s inaction any longer. If she continued to watch, he would have been touched on the chest and who knows where else by Eva.
Winnie picked up her phone and dialed 110, then she actually reported it to the police. "Hello, is this the Police, there's a feverish lady seducing my husband. I'm pregnant, please..."
Eva immediately rushed over and snatched the phone, pointing at Winnie. "I think you're really crazy, you lunatic!"
"That's still better than being a lowly woman who seduces someone else's husband, right in-front of his wife."
"What do you mean your husband? You shamelessly got pregnant with Mr. L's child, that's all. What would Mr. L want with your kind, Mr. L would never want a promiscuous woman like you." Eva pulled the man's arm protectively.
Winnie forcefully pulled her up and sat next to the man, suddenly pinching his chin without caring about his expression. She raised her eyebrows and sneered, "This kind of beauty? It's what made Mr. L unable to resist that night. Your beauty? You don't even have a chance to bear his child, you poor Miss Martin."
"You!" Eva's face turned red with anger.
