"Caleb, are you eating? With who!" Aliyah asked.
"Nothing to do with you." Caleb responded indifferently, his other hand reaching out to try to hold Eva and keep her from shaking.
Eva, however, screamed and flung Caleb's hand away, and the chopsticks flew out.
The family looked at each other.
"Eva, what's wrong?" Irene asked, puzzled.
"You ask Caleb," Eva covered her face with her hands, unable to control her emotions any longer, Caleb was now actually taking Aliyah's phone calls in front of her, why were these two so disgusting?
Caleb dropped the phone the moment Eva shook off his hand and turned to hug Eva, trying to calm her down.
"Caleb, what's wrong with you Caleb?" calls out Aliyah.
Fredrich dropped his phone directly into the boiling pot and managed to cut off the call, "All be quiet!"
All of a sudden, the restaurant fell silent, with only Eva's vague sobs.
"Eva you do not cry first, and I do not favor Caleb, first listen to his explanation, if the explanation is not clear, I will ask the family law, will certainly give you a satisfactory answer. I do not care about you for a few days, is not the wings hardened? Let me tell you, I'm not old and confused yet, fooling around under my nose, wait for me to clean you up!" Fredrich spoke out to preside over the situation, making the chaotic scene a little better.
Eva gradually quieted down at Fredrich's words and became less agitated.
"The number is Guillermo's, I didn't know it was Aliyah calling, I don't have any slight relationship with her at all. All the cooperation with the Tran family, I have handed over to Mr. Pearce to take care of, if it is still not possible, can also call off the project, there is not much loss to us, assessed." Caleb said frankly.
Since this is already the case, then everything is clear. He chose to hide Aliyah's matter before, just to keep Eva from thinking more, but now it seems to have backfired.
"Eva, trust me, okay?" Caleb looked at Eva and said with a sincere face.
However, he was answered by Eva's long silence, the image of the last time they embraced, and Aliyah's shouted Caleb looped in Eva's mind, making her unable to think.
"I don't know, I don't know whether to trust you or to trust my eyes ......," Eva shook her head and stepped back, resisting Caleb's contact.
"Eva, I ......" Caleb's eyes immediately darkened as he watched Eva's reaction.
"Did Eva see anything before?" Fredrich asked Eva.
Caleb wasn't sure exactly what Eva was talking about when she said she saw it.
"When I went to the office, I passed by the coffee shop andsaw Caleb hugging the Tran family lady ......," Eva said woodenly, as if her soul had been drained away.
"Café? Hugs?" Fredrich's voice steeped up a few notches, "Caleb, get on your knees."
"Is that the day of the 5th?" Caleb pursued.
Eva thought back for a moment and nodded.
