Torn Between Love and Hate novel Chapter 180

Chapter 180 Marriage 

In that instant, Deborah felt as if she had been struck by lightning, completely clueless about what was going on.

If she remembered correctly, it was just this morning that Adrian confessed his feelings for her.

Although her attitude has already made it clear, isn’t Adrian’s change of target a bit too hasty?

No, it seems like the focus isn’t here either.

It seems like Joseph brought Evelyn over.

Joseph seemed neither surprised nor displeased with the “blind date” happening before his eyes.

With a fatherly tone, he said, “If Donna and Mr. Moxley find each other suitable, then I guess I’ve successfully played the role of a matchmaker.

I know my secretary quite well, she’s a reliable person. Although her family’s financial situation is not as good as the Moxley family’s, it’s not bad either. Her parents are in the real estate business, and they belong to a middle-class family, with an annual income of around nine figures.”

Donna’s eyes crinkled with laughter, “Not bad, not bad at all. She’s a well-behaved and sensible girl. Eve, if you can make my grandson Adrian happy, I’ll be truly delighted and at ease.”

Adrian hadn’t said a word throughout the entire process, but as he saw things were about to be settled, he finally spoke up in frustration.

“Grandma, didn’t you even bother to ask for my opinion? Did I ever say yes?”

Donna shot a sharp glance and reached out to grab the walking cane that was resting nearby.

She lowered her voice, “How could you not agree? Mr. Black is Ms. Shepherd’s boyfriend. I, an old lady, may not be aware, but you surely must have heard. If you dare to find fault with Eve again, I’ll settle both old and new scores with you.”

Donna spoke through gritted teeth, keeping her voice extremely low.

After quickly finishing what he had to say, he continued to look at Evelyn with a beaming smile.

As Donna looked up, she noticed that Deborah had entered the room.

Donna immediately greeted with a smile, “Ms. Shepherd, come, come, sit down. I apologize for last night, I didn’t know Mr. Black was your

lover.

Mr. Black just brought Eve over. Can you help Grandma take a look and see if she and Adrian make a good match?”

Deborah glanced at Joseph, who immediately shifted his position guiltily. “Debby, come sit. Where have you been? You bought so many

things.”

Deborah wore a forced smile, not wanting to say anything in front of others.

But she didn’t sit next to Joseph; instead, she chose to sit beside Evelyn.

She replied to Donna, “Donna, Mr. Moxley and Evelyn make a great couple.”

Donna smiled with relief and said, “I knew they were a good match. Hearing all of you say this, I can rest assured now.”

Adrian couldn’t take it anymore. He stood up abruptly and said, “I’ll be straightforward, I have no interest in this Evelyn.

I like Deborah, and I plan to pursue her. As for her relationship with Mr. Black, I don’t think it will affect my intentions.”

Donna was so furious that she grabbed her cane and hit him, exclaiming. “What on earth is wrong with you? Ms. Shepherd and Mr. Black have been together for ages! You’re making a fool of yourself and embarrassing us all!”

The living room quickly turned into a chaotic scene, with Adrian hopping around to dodge while loudly protesting.

As Donna hit, she cursed angrily.

A large group of housekeepers hurried over, trying to calm both Donna and Adrian.

Deborah hesitated, wondering if she should step in and help. Alyssa, standing beside her, grabbed her arm and said. “Mommy, don’t worry about it. Things like this happen every couple of days.”

Donna watched with growing frustration, but in reality, she knew how to control her strength.

If someone else steps forward to stop it, it might actually become even more lively.

Deborah didn’t interfere anymore and sat on the couch, texting and chatting with Evelyn.

It wrote: [Eve, are you really into Adrian?]

Deborah gave her a thumbs up and wrote: [Awesome!]

Evelyn humbly replied in the text: (I can’t take the credit. It’s all thanks to your excellent teaching over the past few years, Deborah.]

Joseph sat nearby, watching Deborah and Evelyn going back and forth, and he had a bad feeling about it.

It seems like Evelyn might be talking behind his back.

He gave a light cough, and Evelyn, fearing her boss, immediately fell silent..

Donna gave Adrian a stern lecture, then took him upstairs to the study.

Around ten minutes later, the two of them came back downstairs.

Adrian’s face, which was previously filled with protest and dissatisfaction, had now disappeared, replaced by an appearance of striving to

endure and accept whatever comes his way.

Donna said with a smile. “My grandson is actually just shy. I specifically asked him, and he said he has a good impression of you, Eve, but he’s just too embarrassed to say it.

Since both of you are quite satisfied with each other, my suggestion is to take things slow and see how it goes. Eve, what do you think?”

Evelyn is eagerly waiting to sit down and count her year-end bonus. Her mind is filled with images of blue-colored banknotes falling from

above.

One would know happy she was when Adrian suddenly stood up and firmly said he wasn’t interested in her.

In that case, can she take her year-end bonus and leave today?

As a result, now, after such a short time, how did things change so quickly?

Evelyn laughed awkwardly. “If Mr. Moxley agrees, then of course I have no objections.”

Donna noticed her strange expression, “Eve, why do you look like you’re about to cry?”
