Chapter 1641: Chapter 1640: Picking Someone Up at the Dock

She really did think the young miss was gorgeous, and couldn’t help sneaking a couple of looks.

Eva Nightingale didn’t notice this little move at all, but Lucas Knight caught every bit of it...

"Baby, get over here in my arms." He stretched his hands out, signaling for the little woman on the sofa opposite to come over.

"Huh?" Eva looked up at him. Their gazes met in midair—cold on his side, but she actually felt her cheeks heat up under those icy eyes.

"Mr. President, since when did you become this clingy?"

"Come here." He ordered.

"Oh... okay okay, I’m coming right now!" How would she dare not go? He looked like he was about to eat her alive!

Eva moved fast, scooting into his arms and wrapping her arms around him...

The man’s inverse scale was finally soothed quite a bit.

...

An hour later.

The car Eliana Beckett sent over had already arrived at the dock.

Eva had also finished eating.

Although Jasmine Green brought the food to Ella White’s room, she didn’t eat much. Because Ella was really too exhausted... plus when she walked she was moving super slowly, her legs aching between her thighs...

In the end, Edward White simply picked her up and carried her into the car with him.

The European-style castle was grand and imposing, its Baroque design giving it an artsy, mysterious vibe.

"Madam, the young miss has gotten off the cruise. Our car has already picked them up. They should get to the castle in about forty minutes."

In the living room, Eliana Beckett sat on the sofa, listening to the report from her subordinate.

"Madam, the castle in the rear courtyard has already been cleaned up. Inside and out it’s been disinfected no less than five times, all the furnishings look brand new..." the servant said. "Right, and... the person who met the young miss over there just called. They said, the one coming with the young miss seems to be... the Imperial President!"

They hadn’t seen them in person yet, so they didn’t know if it was really him or not.

Eliana’s hand, which was holding a teacup, froze midair. "What?"

The Imperial President?

The Imperial President and Eva...?!

Could it be that the boyfriend Eva mentioned is that all-powerful Imperial President?

Eastern Europe and the Sovereign Empire didn’t usually have much interaction, but Eliana had still heard a few rumors about that man. He’d been in office for many years with an unshakably solid position, backed by the entire Knight Clan, with industries spread across the globe... holding every lifeline of the Empire in his hands.

On top of that, he was extremely handsome—rumor had it he was "so handsome it split the heavens," the ultimate abstinent type!!

Eliana had actually wondered before whether Eva Nightingale might end up having some sort of connection with him over there. She’d even tried to stop it at first, but now, for some reason, she suddenly figured it out and decided not to interfere anymore.

"Madam, Jasmine said that the Imperial President is indeed our young miss’s boyfriend..."

Eliana: "!!!"

The maids: "!!!"

No way, right? A few of the housekeeper aunties in the living room stared with wide, horrified eyes. They’d heard the Imperial President was already married, that he even had kids.

Sure, he was handsome...

Handsome... doesn’t mean you can do this!

Who said he was all abstinent? Then who helped him make those kids, huh?

Ahem, ahem, ahem!

But jokes aside, with such a big shot coming over, everyone was shocked...

Eliana, after all, was a woman who’d seen the world. She immediately instructed, "Lay red carpets all around outside the castle. Hurry and organize a banquet in the castle to welcome them..."

"Yes, Madam, I’ll get on it right away."

Awkward~ Madam is being a bit too nice to the President, isn’t she?

Anyway, they’d noticed that over this past year, Madam Eliana had changed a lot! Like... she’d even allow a man to come stay in her own home!
