Chapter 1490: Chapter 1489: How Are Things Between You and Young Master Shangguan?

In New York, with Cecilia Grant taking care of the little bun, everyone could rest easy—mainly because the little guy really liked being with Cecilia.

"Lucas Knight, thank you."

So this meticulous man had already taken care of everything early on; all her worrying had been unnecessary.

"You’re welcome!" She really was a fool.

She had no idea what it was he wanted. If she wasn’t a fool, then what was she? Little fool!

He had done so much, and all he wanted was to spend more time by her side, yet she had no idea and just tossed him a "thank you."

What he wanted wasn’t a thank you—it never was...

As soon as Eva Nightingale got home, she went looking for Eliana Beckett, only to find she wasn’t there.

"Where did my mom go?"

"Miss, Madam went to the Gale Family."

"Oh." Eva answered casually, then headed upstairs while pulling out her phone to call Eliana.

"Eva, what’s wrong?"

"Mom, I want to ask you something."

Eliana: "What is it?" For some reason, a bad feeling suddenly crept over her.

"Mom, I want to know about my memories. I didn’t use to live with you, and... you’ve been hiding a lot of things from me, haven’t you?"

As soon as Eva finished speaking, Eliana’s expression on the other end of the line turned a bit ugly.

Damn it, why is she suddenly asking again?

"Eva, I’m your mother. I love you—how could I possibly hide anything from you?" Even if she had, it was for her own good. So, "Eva, just stop asking, okay? I’m really, really happy you’re able to come back."

"Mom will be back tomorrow morning..."

"There’s something I need to take care of right now. Go to bed early. Good night."

With that, Eliana hurriedly hung up, as if running away.

Eva, on the other hand, stared at the phone screen: "..."

"Still thinking about something?" A cool, steely voice sounded behind her. "Eva, what’s wrong?"

"Oh, Uncle." She snapped back to herself and put her phone away.

Then she put on a front: "Uncle, I’m not thinking about anything!"

She’d been in the Sovereign Empire for so long, and Eliana still didn’t know about the flash marriage.

And Sebastian Yansford probably didn’t know either.

But Sebastian wasn’t like Eliana. Even if he found out, he wouldn’t treat her the way Eliana would...

"Want to have some tea?" Sebastian walked over and slipped an arm around her waist. "Out in the back garden. I’ll brew you some tea, hmm?"

His masculine presence closed in around her, and Eva paused: "..."

Sebastian frowned slightly. "I can tell you’ve got something on your mind, don’t you?"

Whatever it was, she could talk to him!

He was willing to listen...

"Tea? Uncle, since when did you start liking tea? Didn’t you used to drink alcohol..."

"Mm. Drinking all the time isn’t good, so I switched to tea."

Eva: "..." Fine. Whatever he said went.

Eva couldn’t refuse him and went with him to the backyard, where they sat and drank tea together.

Late at night, the gothic-style castle was quiet and elegant, low-key yet luxurious, the air filled with the fragrance of tea.

Sebastian had actually always known where Eva was and could tell that his mood wasn’t very good, so he’d suggested keeping her company over tea.

"Uncle, you and Young Master Shangguan... cough, cough, how are things between you two?"

At that, the man lifted his eyes, his deep gaze landing on her.

After all, they were both adults now...

Hearing her bring this up, Sebastian understood perfectly well what she was getting at, so he explained, "He went back to his family."
