Billionaire's Contracted & Unloved Wife - Chapter 178

Chapter 178: Chapter 178 Chapter 178: Chapter 178 Eva bit her lip, “I don’t have much of a choice now, and I don’t have anywhere to go,” She replied.

Ariel nodded.

“Please, sit, Eva,” Ariel pointed to the couch in front of her.

Eva nodded, “Thank you,” She said and went to sit down, feeling out of place.

“Here’s the recorder, Ariel,” Gregory came forward and handed her the object.

Ariel took it from him, “Thank you, Eva.

We wouldn’t have gotten it without you,” Ahw smiled at her.

Eva glanced at Gregory before looking at Ariel, “You’re welcome, I wanted to help out,” She replied.

Ariel sighed, “I’ll let you get home early today, Greg, since you have someone to settle in, I tell Aiden I asked you to leave.” She stood from the sofa and walked toward the stairs.

“Thank you, Ariel,” Gregory said as she walked past him.

Ariel paused, “Tomorrow, we’ll be going somewhere, Gregory.

Bring your girlfriend along, she might want to go too,” She informed them.

Gregory quickly glanced at Eva and saw her blushing, the funny part was, he didn’t feel like correcting Areil.

But, someone did correct her.

“I’m not his girlfriend, Ariel,” Eva said.

“Oh, I thought you were, the way you looked at each other…see you tomorrow, Eva,” Ariel said and walked up the stairs.

Gregory slowly put his hands in his pocket, “Then, please, follow me,” He said without looking at Eva.

Eva sighed and stood from the sofa, why was everyone thinking that she was dating Gregory?

Did they act as a couple by any chance?

And what did Ariel mean by saying that there was something about the way they looked at each other?

“Fasten your seat belt,” Gregory looked at Eva as they entered the car.

She was idly sitting and looking out of the window as if she was lost in her thoughts.

When Eva heard Gregory’s voice, she slowly turned her head away from the window and nodded, not looking at him.

After making sure her seat belt was fixed, Gregory drove out of the compound.

No one spoke to each other until they reached Gregory’s home, it was a simple and beautiful bungalow.

“Come on,” Gregory told Eva as he left the car.

Eva wanted no time to follow him.

They walked the veranda and paused as Gregory unlocked the door.

“Welcome, please, come in,” Gregory ushered her inside his house.

Eva obeyed.

Gregory’s home was just like him, simple and straight to the point.

He only had a table, two sofas, and a TV; there was a small dining area behind the lubing room, but from the looks of it, it looked like it’s never been used.

Gregory closed the door and walked ahead of Eva, “I’m sorry, my hone looks…this way,” he looked at his living room.

“I’m barely around and most days I don’t sleep here-” “It’s alright, where do I stay…my room?” She looked at his face.

Gregory nodded, “Right, this way,” He told her.

Eva followed him to a door, following him in.

“This is my room…you’ll be staying here for the time being, until everything is-” “Then, Where would you go?

Leave me alone in your house?” She questioned.

Gregory shook his head and walked over to his wardrobe to pick out a few clothes.

“No, I’ll just sleep on the couch, I used my guest room for…storing things.

I won’t be disturbing you, don’t worry,” He held a few clothes in his hand and turned to face Eva, who was standing beside his bed.

Eva was staring at Hon as if he was crazy; she was walking toward her, knowing he was heading for the door.

She slowly went and blocked his path, “What do you mean?” She raised a brow at him.

Gregory was confused, “I just want to take the things I’ll be needing to the living, I’ll only be coming here to shower, hope that isn’t so much of an inconvenience,” Eva chuckled softly, “Mr.

Gregory, you’re so…

anyways, have you seen your size?” She pointed at him.

Gregory looked at himself and then back at her, “I don’t understand,” He replied.

Eva sighed, “You can’t fit on the couch; you’re too tall for it, and your neck will break in half one minute into lying on it,” She stated.

Gregory was quiet for a while; he knew it was the truth, and he hated sleeping on the sofa; it wasn’t comfortable at all.

However, he couldn’t do anything about it, “Thank you for your concern, Ms.

Eva, but I don’t mind sleeping there.

You can have the room to yourself,” He went to walk past her but Eva blocked his path again.

“Chill, big guy…I’m not going to eat you.

You think I’ll try to molest you?

Have you seen my size?

I can’t even get my hand to wrap around your wrist, don’t worry, I won’t bite.

Unfortunately, I love my comfort so much that I can’t offer to sleep on the sofa instead.

You know what we’re going to do right?” She smiled up at him.

Gregory shook his head, “No…” He stared at her.

She pointed at the full-size bed, “I have to spell it out, right?

Big guys are so dumb…The bed, Mr.

Gregory, we’ll be sleeping with each other,” Eva informed.

Gregory’s eyes widened, he took a step back and slowly shook his head, “No, I don’t think that’s appropriate, Ms.

Eva, we’re not even dating…I mean unless you really want me to become your boy-” “Stop!

Just stop, Mr.

Gregory, has no one ever taught you how to speak to women?

There are some things you don’t just put out there to us…you’re so…” Eva sighed, frustrated.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath to calm her frustration; opening them back, she marched up to Gregory and snatched his clothes from him, throwing them on the bed.

“Listen, you see that side?

That’s your side, the other one?

That’s mine.

We.

Are.

Not.

Fucking!

Understand?!” She glared at him.

Gregory was surprised; he slowly looked at the bed and back at her, “Understood.” He replied, not wanting to offend her again.

“Gosh!” She walked over to the bed and slumped down on it, “You act like you’ve never seen a naked woman,” She muttered.

“I haven’t, personally…” Gregory said in a quiet voice.

Eva snapped her head to him; she didn’t know he’d hear her, “That is another information that I don’t want to know,” She fell back on the bed and closed her eyes with her hand.

Gregory watched her meaningfully; he’d never shared his bed with anyone; he liked his privacy, but somehow, he wasn’t repulsed by the idea of sharing his bed with Eva; he thought it would be interesting; maybe he could even learn how to communicate with women through Eva.

“I’ll be going to get some stuff…I’ll be back,” He informed and turned to the door.

Eva sprang up, hurrying over to him, “I’ll come with,” She held his arm and smiled at him.

Gregory shook his head and removed her hand from his arm, “No.” He refused.

Eva frowned, “Why?

I’m going to be bored here alone, let me just follow you,” She went to hold his hand again but Gregory easily placed his hand on her forehead, keeping her away from reaching him.

“You’ll stay; I’m…we’re trying to keep you safe; we can’t have you prancing around the street and exposing yourself to an enemy who might just be at the corner searching for you, do you understand?” He asked her seriously.

Eva bit her lips and stepped back in front of Gregory, “Then make sure to lock the door when you leave,” She relied on a pout and walked back to the bed.

Gregory didn’t know what to say, why was she unhappy?

He was just trying to keep her safe.

Does she prefer he took her with him and kept her happy but put her life at risk?

No way.

He’d rather she be sad than in trouble.

“I’ll be back in a few minutes,” He told her, but she didn’t respond.

Gregory saw that she wasn’t in the mood to respond to him, so he decided to leave her alone.

The moment the door closed, Eva looked at it and sighed, “What a dumb man, doesn’t know a green light when he sees one,” She mumbled to herself.

She looked at the soft pillows, and they suddenly seemed very inviting; it was 4 p.m., and she had slipped her siesta; maybe she could just make up for it in Gregory’s absence…

Eva didn’t know how long she had slept, but she heard the noise of nylon ruffling around her and she slowly opened her eyes.

She saw Gregory carefully placing the shopping bags on the table, but the material still made noise nevertheless.

Gregory turned when he felt Eva looking at him, “I didn’t mean to wake you, you can go back to sleep,” His voice was quiet.

Eva shook her head, lifted herself,, and brought her legs down to the floor.

“It’s okay, I’ve slept for…” she glanced at the clock, “Forty minutes, that’s more than enough for a nap,” She stood and walked over to him.

“What did you buy?” She asked as she stood beside him.

She tried to look inside the first bag beside her but Gregory pointed to the beside it, “How about you check this one out first?

I got some sleepwear and tops in there,” He suggested.

Eva married her eyes at him, “Now I want to see what’s in the first bag, you’re hiding something,” She stubbornly opened the bag and paused.

Gregory sighed, “It’s yours…I just thought you would like to check them out in private,” He looked away from her.

Eva felt her cheeks flush as she stared at different designs of bras and underwear.

She hooked her finger around a bright red bra and raised it to his face.

“It’s my size, how did you know?” She smirked at him.

Gregory didn’t know where to place his eyes, so he decided to just look at her, “Your…I saw them so I imagined the size from my hand…I mean, I compared it to my palm…” He muttered his response.

Eva smiled mischievously, “Mr.

Gregory, are you saying that you’ve imagined breasts in my breasts in your hands?” She narrowed her eyes at him.
