“Mom, what do youe here for?” Evan closed the door of the living room and walked to Minta with


    steady steps. He sat down by her, trying to be considerate.

    Wherever he was, even by his sitting down, Evan’s domineering manner would force anyone to obey


    him.


    Suddenly, Minta was relieved. Not in the mood of talking with Cana, she felt fortunate to have Evan


    with her.


    Gina, wearing dark eyeshadow and rosy lipstick, rolled her eyes, fixing them on her son with a half-


    smile. She said, “Ie here for Minta.


    “How nice.” Evan smiled back. A battle between him and Gina started.


    Gina and Evan did not have a close mother-son rtionship, though Evan was indeed her blood. Gina,


    who used to be a well-known young actress, fell in love with Evan’s dad at her prime. Soon she was


    found pregnant, and the couple got married shortly after.


    In the next year, she gave birth to Evan.


    Gina resunted her career when Evan was less than two years old. In the next couple of years, Evan


    was brought up by Mdm Welton, while Evan’s dad was busy expanding his business to the whole


    world.


    As the couple focused more on their own careers, they spent less time with their son. Though Gina had


    more time for her sonter, it was still hard for her to make up for the lost time.


    It would take more time to bridge the gap between their hearts.


    “Why? You think I will do something bad to dear Minta?” Gina’s lip curled into a smile with her cold eyes


    fixing on Minta. Minta’s body tensed up. “What do you think I am? A wicked witch?


    “I am just kidding, Mom,” Evan kept on, “You won’t oppose us, will you?”


    Gina, who favored operating behind the scenes, would never oppose her son. ‘Of course not.” She


    smiled gently. “I was just a little bit surprised that you chose to open your rtionship to the public, so I


    came here to have some talk.”


    “Isn’t it, Minta?” Gina turned to her.


    Minta was suddenly caught between the two, but she did not want to make things difficult for Evan, so


    she nodded with an “of course


    “That’s great, Mom! I have something for you then.” Evan said with a mysterious smile.


    Seeing that smile, Gina got rmed.


    She looked up. “What is that? Don’t you tell me that Minta’s got pregnant?”


    e would never let them have the kid.


    “No, I am not!” Minta, still a young girl, blushed in a second, trying to defend herself.


    Though Minta kept a fit body, Evan knew that she had a pure mind. He gently pressed on her hand and


    stopped her next words.


    Minta received his signal and shut up her mouth immediately.


    “What I want to say is not the pregnant thing,” said Evan word by word, “We are nning the


    engagement.”


    Both Minta and Gina got shocked, starring at Evan with round eyes as if he just talked nonsense.


    Gina could no longer bear this. “It is impossible,” she blurted with anger. “You guys can never do this


    without my permission!”


    Evan looked undisturbed as if he did not care about Gina’s words. After all, he was the one to decide


    his own marriage, including his rtion with Anya. “Mom, you should know that this is my business. I


    won’t give in to your ideas,” he answered.
