Noble Pampering: Demon CEO's Relentless Entanglement-Chapter 720 - 716 I Don’t Like You Anywhere (Part 2)

"It’s just,..." Luke Land hesitated, half of his words stuck in his throat, uncertain whether to speak or not.

"Just what?"

"I don’t know how much pressure Sophie Smith can handle. If Third Brother’s condition is worse than we imagined, I don’t know if Sophie can cope with it."

Eva Miller lowered her head, as if pondering something.

"If,..." Luke tried tentatively, "if we have Sophie give up looking for Third Brother, I think it might also be a feasible plan."

"What are you saying!" Eva was anxious, "What do you mean by having Sophie give up? Are you saying you want Sophie to hand President Land over to Irene Morton?"

She wouldn’t agree to that! Why should she?

"Irene would never do anything to betray Third Brother. With her taking care of him, there’s no problem. If you really care about Sophie, and you don’t want to see her sad, maybe we shouldn’t let her know about Third Brother’s current situation."

The accident was a huge blow to Asher Land. She didn’t want to see Sophie crying her eyes out facing Asher lying in bed every day.

Eva seemed to understand the meaning in Luke’s words, but she really didn’t know what would be best for Sophie.

"Little Chili, listen to me, take Sophie back to Eastern City." Luke’s expression was serious, not at all like joking, "If Third Brother recovers, he will surely worry about Sophie and will go to find her."

Is taking Sophie back to Eastern City really okay? Even if she wants to take her back, Sophie might not agree, right?

"I’m not forcing you. I’ll give you time to think it over. I believe you’re Sophie’s best friend; she will more or less listen to you."

"Really..." Eva murmured to herself, lowering her head as she walked out disconsolately.

"Be careful." Luke noticed her nearly bumping into the door, quickly reached out to pull her back.

"Don’t leave tonight, stay here with me?" Luke didn’t know if this request was too much, he just knew that Eva Miller was not someone easily tamed.

Sure enough, after hearing Luke’s words, Eva couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him.

"Don’t think about trying anything with me."

"Could it be, could it be you don’t feel anything for me at all?" Luke didn’t expect to fail so miserably, completely defeated by a woman.

"Do you hate me, or do you think I’m not good enough for you?" He humbled himself further, "What is it that you don’t like about me, tell me, and I’ll change, okay?"

"I don’t like anything about you. You might as well go back and be born again," Eva pouted.

"..."

Luke’s mouth twitched, wishing he could just throw this stubborn woman onto the bed and teach her a lesson.

"Eva Miller!" He called her name directly. Eva looked at him somewhat surprised—was he getting angry?

"Oh, don’t be like that," Eva shook her head helplessly, "Fine, I’ll seriously tell you why there’s no possibility between us."

She inhaled deeply and exhaled, striving to calm herself.

"Haven’t I told you? I have a boyfriend, it’s..." Eva mulled over how to make Luke give up, "It’s a very close, very intimate kind of relationship..."

"How intimate could it be, isn’t it just slept together a few times?"

"..."
