The Choise
Why Choose me?

"Eve's mother was my friend. Name's Rosaria. She's beautiful like Eve and cheerful. You know Eve used to laugh so easily, just like Rosaria. He loved running around this mansion until he fell down the stairs and couldn't walk for a week because of injury." Niel smiled hearing that.

"He was ten years old when he learned of his identity. Knowing if Felipe turned out to be her real father, so I had to tell him the truth." Sometimes Amy feels that she is participating in Eve's situation.

"How did he know?" ask Niel.

"Felipe asked for custody after seeing Eve for the first time in ten years. She had just returned from Seville back then and learned that Eve was the daughter of Rosaria."

"They're having an affair, so I'm right." It was easy to guess by Niel.

"Then what else? Felipe forced Rosaria to abort Eve because she was married to Cristina?" guess Niel's origin. Actually he's caught his breath. Whatever the reason, he didn't want his girl to get hurt.

"Yes" replied Amy.

Niel shut up for a moment, then chuckled cynically.

"He wanted Eve after intending to kill her." How humiliating!

"Sometimes it's a natural instinct, Niel," Lewis said, "Felipe may have inadvertently cultivated feelings when he met a daughter who shouldn't have existed. As a parent, it's natural there's a sudden feeling."

"Do you believe that feeling?"

"Although we're not Eve's biological parents, we can see that feeling even a little in Felipe's eyes" Amy said.

"We believe Felipe loved Eve. It's cold, but I've known him since I was a kid. But whatever happens, the decision is with Eve" Lewis said.

Without the three of them noticing, someone was listening behind the stairs. Eve had witnessed the quarrel with a glass of water in her hand. He woke up when he felt a warm kiss touch his forehead.

Feeling that there was nothing more to hear, Eve stepped slowly into her room and stayed silent on the balcony.

Felipe loves him? They never even talked to each other as if the two were strangers who had accidentally met. Maybe only then— where he still does not know anything ....

Her innocent and shy self hid behind Amy's body. At that moment many mouths were talking about it casually even accompanied by everyone's sharp gaze. Not only that, the figures of grandparents did not like it at all.

Too selfish, isn't it? Why are others responsible for their mistakes, like Amy and Lewis for example.

"Woke?" Someone had hugged him from behind and kissed his head. Niel hugged Eve's arms folded over her chest, resting her head on Eve's shoulders.

"Why is it still here?"

"It's night, I'll just stay the night."

Eve smiled thinly. This man is too reasonable!

"Nil ...."

"What, Honey?" Kiss Eve's lips.

"Why did you choose me?"

"Love doesn't need a reason."

Right, so this is what love is like.

"Niel, if you want to go later— tell me. I won't make it hard on you."

Don't just leave it like the others.

"I told you I'm not leaving."

Niel turned Eve's body to face her to make her embrace more freely. Eve slowly returned the warm embrace that made her comfortable.

"Too many mistakes to me, Niel. Leave me or I'll hurt you."
