I got married without you (James and Amelia) novel Chapter 1397

Chapter 1397 Ask about Eva’s past 

Eva’s hand holding the knife and fork stiffened slightly. She was about to deny it, but Jayden interrupted, “Mom, let’s not talk about the past anymore. It was all my wishful thinking. If you bring it up too much, it’ll just be embarrassing.” 

Natalie looked at Jayden and smiled affectionately, “Alright, I won’t bring it up anymore. I’ll give you some face.” 

Jayden’s furrowed brows relaxed and he cut some foie gras for Eva, placing it on her plate with caring gestures. 

Eva had intended to just focus on eating, but after only a few bites, she heard Natalie ask, “Miss Miller, you and my son were planning to get married, right? There are some things I wanted to clarify in advance, I hope you don’t mind…” 

Eva put down her utensils and looked up at Natalie, “Auntie, you can ask whatever you want, I won’t mind.” 

She was quite polite to her elders, which pleased Natalie. She nodded and said, “I heard that you grew up in an orphanage without parents. How have you been these years?” 

Eva didn’t hesitate, “When I was young, I relied on the orphanage, and as I grew up, I worked in convenience stores or small restaurants wherever they needed help.” 

Natalie’s 

‘s gaze flickered, “That must have been tough. But just 

Working in a small restaurant, you can barely make ends meet. How did you become the owner of an entertainment venue at such a young age?” 

From these two questions in a row, Eva understood that Natalie was questioning where her money came from. 

With her background, she would indeed face doubts. Eva didn’t blame Natalie and replied honestly, “After graduating from high school, I worked in a bar selling alcohol and saved some money. Later, my two relatives had some trouble and before they left, they left me some property. I took some of the money and bought a bar. After making enough money to pay back my friends, that’s how I got my start.”
