Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 184

Chapter 184

The rain poured all night, the white noise lulling Eliza into a deep sleep.

When she woke up in the morning, Nancy had already made breakfast.

Good thing you stayed over last night,” Nancy chattered, “I saw videos and photos from the neighborhood group this morning. It’s terrifying, there’s a section of the road that collapsed, and a few cars fell into the hole. I don’t know if there were any casualties.”

Cancy sighed. “I wonder if Calv experienced any danger last night.”

liza didn’t have an answer to that, so she chose to remain silent.

After breakfast, Eliza said goodbye to Nancy and left.

he navigation system alerted her that there was a roadblock due to a collapse, so she had to take a detour.

he arrived at the company a little later than usual. As she entered, the front desk informed her that she had a visitor.

I was Josh.

liza was a bit surprised.

osh explained. “I’ve been busy with Unite’s matters lately and haven’t had the chance.to properly visit your company. If you’re free, would you mind showing

be around?”

Of course, but I’ll need about half an hour. I have a morning meeting,” Eliza replied.

No problem. I have plenty of time today.”

While Eliza was in her meeting, Gideon called Josh, asking if he was available today.

le mentioned that SciGames was holding a press conference and wanted Josh to attend and support Medea.

ah directly declined, “I’m busy.”

What are you so busy with? Can’t you spare some time?” Gideon pressed.

I’m inspecting partner companies,” Josh responded shortly.

ideon was even more confused, “Do you really need to go in person to inspect the partner companies? Just come over!

Can’t you handle it on your own? I’m busy here. Hanging up now.”

before Gideon could say anything else, Josh hung up the phone decisively

Gideon was about to call back, but he figured Josh wouldn’t pick up, so he decided to call his secretary instead, asking which partner company fish was visiting oday

The secretary responded that he was visiting Apex

Gideon’s expression changed

No wonder Josh wouldn’t tell him He was going to Apex.

But what he didn’t understand was why Josh would rather inspect Apes than attend Medea’s event

Could Eliza be more important than Medea?

While he was still puzzling over it, he heard Medea talking to Calvin on the phone, asking where he was.

Chapter 184

Calvin replied that his car had broken down on the way and he might be late.

Medea seemed worried, “How could your car break down all of a sudden?”

“It’s probably because of the water from last night’s rain,” Calvin explained.

Indeed, the rainfall was heavy. This morning, Medea had seen news reports of parking lots flooding in many neighborhoods.

Well, get it fixed and come as soon as possible. I don’t feel at ease without you here,” Medea said.

Calvin agreed, and hung up.

Seeing this, Gideon suddenly realized.

1. o. Josh was intentionally avoiding Medea’s press conference.

After all, the two had once been in love. Though they had parted on good terms, and everyone remained respectful when they met, seeing Medea and Calvin so n love would still make him uncomfortable.

Men were like that–they often had an inexplicable possessiveness over their exes.

ut then again…

fter Calvin and Eliza broke up, he had never reacted like this–he had remained indifferent, as if they were strangers. It was as though their seven–year elationship had meant nothing to him.

n the end, Calvin must not have loved her.

f he hadn’t held her in his heart, that’s why their breakup didn’t leave any scars.

ut what about Eliza?

Why was she so calm, unaffected by all this?

ideon thought for a while and came to a conclusion.

líza was pretending!

fter all, everyone had seen how she used to be.

alvin arrived at the press conference right on time,

ideon even asked him, “With your place’s terrain, your garage shouldn’t have flooded. It’s one of the best neighborhoods in Washington.”

alvin replied nonchalantly, “I stayed at home last night.”

I see. I was wondering why you didn’t come with Medea today.”

The press conference officially began after Calvin took his seat.

Medea and the founder of Cloudream, Lucas, both took the stage to deliver speeches, showcasing the game’s features and the excellent data and feedback from he internal testing,

When the journalists began their Q&A, they initially asked questions related to the game.

But later, one journalist unexpectedly asked about Medea’s personal life.

‘Director Wynn, I just saw Mr. Young from Everest here, and you two really seem to have a great relationship. There are rumors that you’re about to get

narried. Is that true?”

Medea smiled sweetly, looking like a woman deeply in love, and responded, “I’ll clarify. It’s not a rumor. It’s true.”

The room filled with envious murmurs.

The journalist continued, “So, after the engagement, are you planning to retire and become a full–time housewife?”

Medea smiled and cleverly passed the question to Calvin, “You’ll have to ask Mr. Young. It’s up to him whether he wants me to help him with his work or stay at home as a full–time wife.”

The camera immediately focused on Calvin, and even Gideon was curious about how he would respond.

Calvin’s expression remained calm, and before answering, he glanced at Medea, his eyes filled with deep affection.

She’s so exceptional, how could I bear to confine her to marriage? Even after marriage, she will be free, with her own world to soar in.”

he room was filled with gasps of admiration, clearly moved by Calvin’s deep affection.

fter the interview, Medea went to the makeup room to touch up, and just then, Regina’s call came through.

egina asked, “How’s it going? Was the journalist I arranged helpful?”

It went well. At least now my relationship with Calv is officially out in the open,” Medea replied.

n truth, Medea had been hoping for Calvin to host a press conference to announce their engagement and give her the official recognition she deserved.

ut Calvin had been dragging his feet.

he had subtly asked him about it, but his explanation was that Grayson hadn’t approved yet.

[ he acted too high–profile, it might trigger Grayson and worsen their already strained father–son relationship.

fedea understood but still felt a bit wronged. What woman didn’t want to have a public name for her relationship?

egina offered to help and arranged for the journalist to ask direct questions at the press conference.

I can tell that Calv really loves you,” Regina said, clearly pleased with her future son–in–law.

Yes, he really cares about me.”

Once you’re engaged, make sure to get pregnant quickly. Having a child will stabilize your relationship and get the wedding plans moving.”

Ledea replied, “Got it.”

fter Eliza finished the meeting, she received a message from Erik.

le told her, “I just watched the Cloudream press conference. The game mechanics and features are exactly what I had planned, even the promotional video

asn’t been modified.”

So the internal testing feedback is good?”

I hadn’t finished it when I left. I don’t know what the framework and storyline are like now.”

Eliza knew his feelings were complicated. After all, it was his work.

‘Since you’ve decided to let go, don’t look back,” she replied.

A while later, Erik replied, “Okay.”
