She Is A CEO

Chapter 1090 Knowing Her Limits

"Nia has never blamed me..." Eve's eyes sank and she whispered, "Helping her was my own choice."Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Hearing this, Eloise couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This child was too naive!

There was a sense of frustration in her heart that couldn't be dispelled. After comforting her daughter for a while, Eloise hurried back to the room and told everything she had said to her husband. When Steve heard this, his brows furrowed tightly and he couldn't help but slam the table!

"I knew there was something wrong with her attitude! She's been out for several years now, and the atmosphere of this big city has already stained Nia's character black! She even used her own sister!" "What I'm worried about now isn't Eve, it's Lauren..." Eloise said anxiously.

"You mean..."

"Lauren helped Nia because he cared about Eve's feelings. If it were things within her capabilities that she could help as a sister should do, then it would be understandable. But if Nia asks for too much and hurts the relationship between Lauren and Eve..."

Nia was their daughter too, so until now Eloise hadn't seen their eldest daughter as a bad person.

"We need to talk to Lauren about this." Steve sighed.

"You go talk to him," Eloise quickly said, "You must make it clear before we leave so that Lauren can refuse if necessary without alienating Eve. Eve really likes him."

"I understand." Steve responded with a heavy heart as he looked at his wife. They both felt extremely sad.

Two more days passed, and just before an important festival, Eloise and Steve decided they needed to go home. However, Nia still hadn't shown up once. But strangely enough, Eloise and Steve no longer asked to meet their eldest daughter these past few days. Instead, they focused on building better relationships with Lauren.

Lauren noticed, but didn't say anything about it. On this afternoon after dinner, Eloise and Steve brought up going home again. "Eve, your mom and I are leaving tomorrow."

"What? You're leaving?" The sudden departure caught Eve off guard.

She pouted slightly but didn't try to stop them, because in her mind, she knew they had to go home for the festival anyway. She could always tell Lauren later that they would return home together after all. "Lauren, thank you for taking care of Eve. She is timid and introverted, and sometimes she doesn't know how to express herself. If she does anything wrong, please bear with her." Steve smiled at Lauren after his daughter agreed.

"You're welcome." Lauren's words were direct and frank.

Steve was very satisfied with Lauren's answer. They chatted for a while before leaving the restaurant to rest separately. However, shortly after they parted ways, Steve came alone to Lauren's door and saw him smiling at him as he knocked on the door.

Lauren was a smart person, so Steve breathed a sigh of relief knowing that it would be easier to talk to him about what he wanted to say next.

"Mr. Davidson, come in please. I've already brewed some tea." Lauren's words confirmed Steve's speculation even more.

The two men sat on the sofa while Lauren poured tea for them both. Steve frowned as he thought about how best to start talking; the atmosphere between them wasn't as natural as when Eloise talked with their daughter earlier.

"Don't be restrained," seeing that Steve had been holding his hands together all this time, Lauren said with a smile, "Just say what you want."

In his heart, Steve secretly praised Lauren. He no longer hesitated but spoke directly,

"Lauren, you should also know about our family relationships among us. Eve has been seriously ill since birth, and my wife and I have always taken care of her wholeheartedly. So we inevitably neglect our eldest daughter Nia. We don't mean shirking responsibility, but it is true that we focused too much attention on Eve which caused Nia's dissatisfaction over these years. However, this is our guilt towards Nia. It has nothing do with Eve. Nia's life over these years is unknown, and although we want to make up for it, it seems impossible. But ultimately, this matter should not be borne by Eve."

"I understand your meaning,"after hearing what Steve said, Lauren was somewhat impressed by him. After all, in many family relationships, it wasn't easy to see each other's position or responsibilities clearly enough.

"No, you listen further," Steve felt Lauren hadn't fully understood him yet so he interrupted him, "Nia is also my daughter, and I could never wish for her to have a bad life. However, the prerequisite is that everything must be done honestly and with a clear conscience, rather than... " Steve just can't say that Nia was using her own sister.

"So, if Nia has any unreasonable demands on you, just refuse! Don't force yourself to agree for the sake of Eve. This is a debt we owe and should not affect you and Eve."

Lauren raised his eyebrows lightly when he heard this. If Steve knew that Nia begged him to kill someone, he didn't know how he would feel, but Lauren wouldn't say it directly, but just said,

"Miss Davidson did ask me to do many things that I had no intention of participating in. The reason why I didn't refuse was indeed because of Eve. You know, Eve can only use her blood."

Steve's expression became very stunned when he heard this, with a sense of regret and frustration.

"I have a sense of proportion," Lauren chuckled lightly, comforting Steve.

"Don't worry too much. No matter how it ends, Eve will not be harmed in the slightest. This is what I can guarantee to you. As for Miss Davidson... there is an old saying that one reaps what they sow. Ultimately, how she turns out depends entirely on her own character and decisions. I won't kick her when she's down, but I also won't help her anymore."

"I understand!" Steve was extremely grateful to hear Lauren say this. "There are some things we will talk to Nia about ourselves. Thank you for your understanding."

"Mr. Davidson, you're too kind." Lauren poured tea for Steve again and smiled.

The two men who were originally estranged became closer because of this conversation. Steve was satisfied with Lauren's positive answer and the topic then shifted to Eve. Lauren took the opportunity to ask many questions related to her, and they talked for a long time before Steve finally got up and left.

After Steve returned to the room, Eloise anxiously asked him about the result. Steve simply patted his wife's hand and assured her,

"Don't worry. Lauren has good judgment."
