"Why should I be angry at you?" Alex asked in confusion.
"Because I was acting out of line. I know that I should've just kept my mouth shut, and let your father have his way to insult me," Eve muttered. "Honestly, I don't care if he looks down on me, but I can't let him think that we are not meant to be together."
Alex slowed down his car, his eyes were still on the road, but he glanced at Eve for a second and asked again, "You could've just told him the truth about us?"
"No, we can't," Eve gave him a side-glare. "I know what you've been thinking, Alex. You set me up in that situation, so I can't say no or tell him the truth about our business deal. You didn't tell him that we broke up two years ago."
Alex had a thin smile after hearing that. His mood eased a little when he remembered how Eve bravely told his father that they had been dating for seven years straight.
