Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 73

The voice was loud enough, and the hint was obvious.

Medea’s face turned red for the first time in a long while. After Vivian left, she awkwardly explained to Calvin, “Vivian has always been a bit outspoken and direct, don’t mind her.”

“What’s there to mind?” Calvin smiled, teasing.

“Are you upset that she called me ‘brother–in–law,‘ or that you didn’t like her earlier blessing?”

Really… No sense of occasion, openly flirting.

Calvin had really changed a lot.

He used to be someone who mixed business with personal matters without distinction, but in the end, he bent for love.

It felt so unfamiliar to Eliza, as if she had never known him at all.

Perhaps everything that had happened in the past was just a fleeting dream.

The person she had loved was just a version she had imagined, not the Calvin before her.

Maybe it was just her own feelings that had touched her,

Medea seemed embarrassed and didn’t know how to respond to Calvin’s words.

Just at that moment, Eliza helped Enzo pass by. Medea shyly scolded, “There are people around.”

Calvin merely glanced at Eliza indifferently, then calmly withdrew his gaze.

Eliza didn’t stop, walking past them and heading to the street to hail a taxi.

Medea looked toward Calvin.

He opened the car door for her. “Let’s go.”

“Okay.”

Before getting in the car, Medea glanced faintly in the direction Eliza had left, her lips curling into an evident smirk.

She smiled dismissively.

Through her observations over the past few days, she was absolutely certain.

Calvin felt nothing for Eliza,

If anything, he was indifferent.

There was no possessiveness from a man toward a woman.

So, what if Eliza had been with Calvin for seven years?

Seven years had not made Calvin acknowledge her existence or publicly admit her identity.

That spoke volumes!

Therefore, Eliza posed no threat to her.

She didn’t even need to take Eliza seriously!

The car the two were riding in passed by Eliza as they circled the roundabout.

She was still waiting for a taxi.

Calvin rolled up the window, cutting off the outside air, then lovingly reminded Medea, “Opening the window lets in cold air.”

Medea smiled sweetly, “I know.”

“By the way, how did your talk with Mr. Jameson go today? Did you mention my project to him?”

Calvin nodded, “Yes, he thinks it’s a good idea.”

Medea immediately felt confident, “That’s reassuring. I hope we’ll see some results tomorrow.”

“We will,” Calvin was always so certain of her.

His trust gave Medea a sense of superiority.

After all, she was a PhD from WT Business School, a high–level talent Calvin had worked hard to bring back from abroad.

She was nothing like Eliza, a mere undergraduate from a normal university.

Was she even a competitor?

That was an insult to her education!

So Calvin’s disregard for Eliza was simply the correct mindset of a normal person.

However, Medea wasn’t arrogant. She humbly said,

After returning to the hotel, she had a meeting with the project team to ensure they could stand out at the summit tomorrow and bring honor to Everest.

Calvin seemed to be genuinely concerned, “Don’t overwork yourself.”

Medea smiled, “It’s not hard, just can’t spend time with you properly.”

Calvin was very understanding, not taking it to heart, “Do as you like.”

His full trust made Medea feel at ease.

On the other side, Eliza had waited nearly ten minutes on the street before finally hailing a taxi.

Enzo, now half–awake from the cold wind, felt guilty.

He realized that not only had he not helped Eliza, but he had also troubled her to take care of him.

“From now on, I’ll handle my drinking affairs. You don’t have to block for me. I can manage.” Eliza said to him.

“I know I have poor tolerance, but I still want to block for you. I just feel like if I block one drink, you’ll drink one less…”

His words melted the cold of Los Angles.

Eliza didn’t say anything else.

Enzo fell silent for a long while before carefully asking, “Are you okay?”

Eliza looked at him in confusion.

Did she look that bad?

Enzo stammered, “When the car passed earlier, I saw Mr. Young. He closed the window when he saw you.”

Eliza didn’t seem to remember this at all and shrugged, “Actually, I don’t feel anything anymore.”

She meant it, whether Enzo believed it or not.

“Anyway, no one can stay with anyone forever, and no one is indispensable.”

“If someone leaves, the earth keeps turning.”

The next morning, Medea’s door was knocked.

She thought it was Calvin, rushing to open the door, only to find it was Gideon.

“Surprised? Unexpected?”

Gideon was pushing a suitcase, clearly just arriving in Los Angles.

“What are you doing here?” Medea was indeed surprised.

“Of course, I’m here to learn from the goddess!” Gideon peered around her, “Where’s Brother Young? Still not up?”

“Hmm.”

“Ah! I think I might be killing the mood!” Gideon slapped his head as if he just realized, “Then I’ll wait for you two in the restaurant! Take your time to get ready, no rush, don’t worry about me!”

With that, he dashed off to the restaurant.

He had been waiting for nearly an hour in the restaurant when Calvin and Medea arrived.

As for why he had waited so long, Gideon didn’t ask.

After all, they were adults; he knew what was going on.

After sitting down, Medea asked how Gideon had ended up in Los Angles.
