Chapter <b>776 </b>
Evelyn’s smile froze on her <b>face </b><b>as </b><b>she </b>subconsciously nced at Eugene.
To be honest, Eugene was the <b>most </b>satisfactory candidate for marriage she had <b>encountered </b>so far. He could be considered the cream of the crop whether in terms of appearance<b>, </b>ability, or family background.
Evelyn remembered what Peyton had told her and made <b>an </b>effort to restrain her emotions. Waving her hand casually<b>, </b>she said, “Okay<b>, </b><b>it’s </b>my fault. I won’t do it again in the future.”
Despite saying that<b>, </b>there was <b>still </b>a gloom in her eyes. She was not stupid. She could see how protective Eugene <b>was </b><b>of </b>Mnie.
The first time they met in Prime City, Eugene’s gaze would involuntarily follow Mnie whenever she was around. Even if he acted cold, his eyes and subconscious movements betrayed his feelings.
Evelyn did not have many hobbies<b>, </b>but she liked studying people. She knew since back then there was an unspoken rtionship between Eugene and Mnie. However, she had not been particrly interested in Eugene then<b>, </b>so it had not mattered to her.
Things were different now. Eugene was her fiancé, and it had been firmly established. Of course, she could not tolerate <b>Mnie’s </b>existence, including the child in her belly. It did not matter if it was Eugene’s or not.
Peyton had been the one to <b>teach </b><b>Evelyn</b><b>, </b><b>so </b>she naturally understood the principles of nipping a problem in the bud and the boiling <b>frog</b>.
She quickly regained her <bposure </b>and looked at Eugene<b>, </b><b>saying</b><b>, </b>“I’ve discussed the matter of our cooperation with my mother. <b>She’s </b>very interested in what <b>you </b><b>said</b><b>. </b>If <b>you </b>can return to LeapCo’s headquarters, it’ll have a <b>great </b><b>impact </b>on us.”
In theirst two days in Prime <b>City</b>, Reny <b>suggested </b>going mountain C. “I heard there’s a famous hot spring inn on Crane Mountain. <b>We </b><b>can </b>enjoy the hot springs there <b>for </b><b>a </b>night and then end this trip beautifully.”
Although Mnie <b>could </b><b>not </b>go into <b>the </b><b>hot </b>springs given her pregnancy<b>, </b>she did not have any objections <b>to </b><b>the </b><b>idea</b>.
The next morning<b>, </b><b>the </b><b>group </b><b>set </b><b>off </b>directly for Crane Mountain. The temperature on the mountain was low, so Mnie <b>changed </b>ordingly when they left in the morning. Reny eyed <b>her </b>belly thoughtfully. <b>“</b><b>I </b><b>feel </b>like our little Merry has grown a bit. Do <b>you </b><b>feel </b>anything?”
Mnie also looked <b>at </b>her belly<b>, </b>which indeed <b>seemed </b>rounder <b>than </b><b>before</b><b>. </b>However<b>, </b>she did not really feel anything different. Just when she said that <b>to </b>Reny<b>, </b><b>she </b>felt <b>a </b>movement in her belly. It was as if something had moved.
Mnie was momentarily stunned, thinking she might <b>have </b>imagined <b>it</b>.
By the time they arrived <b>at </b>Crane Mountain<b>, </b>it was already <b>noon</b><b>, </b>so they went up by car directly because <b>of </b>Mnie’s condition. The inn was serene, and the air in the area was good, making it an
ideal ce to <b>rx</b><b>. </b>
Reny happily took photos and shared <b>them </b>in the group chat. Mnie followed her, surveying the inn’s surroundings. From afar, she saw a group <b>of </b>people approaching. They were led by a young woman who was apanied by Cedric and <b>a </b>few others.
The young woman was the owner of <b>the </b>inn. Her voice was gentle and clear as she introduced the inn’s facilities to Cedric. Mnie’s steps <b>faltered</b><b>. </b>How could she forget that Cedric and Ste had a habit of investing?
Cedric would definitely seize the opportunity to buy a lot ofnd for development when tourism in Prime City had already started booming!
