Chapter 170: The Second Deal
Looking at the frozen maid in front of him, who had arrived in less than ten minutes after being called, Christian noticed her expression change for the first time as she took in the state of the room, still filled with the scent of sex. For a moment, he felt a small pang of embarrassment, thinking that maybe he should have cleaned up the mess himself.
Sophia, after regaining her composure slightly, stiffly turned her head toward Eva, who was standing beside Christian. An indescribable emotion lingered in her, and she almost wanted to say something about Eva's impulsiveness. But in the end, she knew that the deed had already been done, and there was nothing she could change now. She also realized she could be scolded again if she made a careless comment. So, she shifted her gaze toward the other person responsible for the mess.
Part of her wanted to punch him for shamelessly making her witness this sight, but in the end, she resigned herself to the situation, let out a sigh, and said, "Then, I'll start cleaning."
Eva awkwardly nodded, then pulled Christian away as they left the room right away.
…
Christian, staring at Eva who was wearing his T-shirt and boxers, couldn't help but find another charm in the scene before him, even though he had already seen her naked. Inside, he felt a sense of joy at the sight of her now wearing his clothes, showing off her sexy figure.
But knowing there was something he needed to ask, he tried not to get distracted by the view. With difficulty, he diverted his gaze away and asked, "So, what's the situation exactly? How were you still a virgin?"
Eva, now feeling a little better as she sat down after having worked herself too hard earlier, noticed Christian's heated gaze, despite everything they had done. And felt pleased inside, but also knowing it was time to discuss this topic properly. She answered immediately.
"Actually, the situation is just like I told you before, it's just that there was a small part I didn't mention."
"You know how I said I gathered all kinds of information about Vincent Quinn's sons, right?"
Getting his nod, Eva continued, "Well, in my 'first' deal with that trash Damian, I didn't use any of that information. I just used the condition that I would choose him over his brother, and with the help of my cousin, I enforced the conditions I had previously told you about."
"But then, when I held my next meeting with him, after we had already met his father, and when things seemed to be going in the right direction for him… I delivered my second deal!"
Pausing slightly to catch her breath and seeing Christian listen intently, Eva didn't keep him waiting and said, "Well, in my second deal, I laid all my cards on the table. I revealed the information I had gathered about him and told him that, while I didn't mind continuing with our first deal, I don't want him to ever touch me. As for the pregnancy, I would go with artificial insemination."
"Everything I gathered for someone like his father was naturally child's play, but for Damian? That was hardly the same."
"And if his father were to catch on to all this?"
Christian, catching on to the rest of the story, couldn't help but open his mouth, interrupting Eva. "That would mean that if his father still needed to clean up after his son, now that everything has even failed… his situation could get even worse than before, and he couldn't afford that. He couldn't afford to fall any further after gaining his father's favor!"

"Bingo!" Eva replied, giving Christian a crafty, cunning smile, different from before but still sexy nonetheless. "It was a negotiation, but at the same time, a threat. And in the end, he was forced to accept my new terms!"
Christian, looking at the woman in front of him, couldn't help but feel his impression of her change… to the better.
What could he say? His woman was just too brilliant!
Still, feeling like something wasn't adding up, he asked, "Then, what about the delivery of Olivia?"
"That's naturally through a Caesarean section, as I want to save my first time!" Eva replied, improperly.
And Christian, while mentally praising her, didn't show his feelings. Instead, with a stern voice, said, "Then, why didn't you mention this part in our previous conversation?"
"So, it'll be a surprise?" Eva replied, with a tilted head.
But, not falling for her innocent act, Christian still reprimanded her, "I'm not someone who can bear this kind of surprise, so just tell me the whole truth next time."
"And if you're not ready to tell me, at least say there's a part I'll delay informing you of to later!"
"…Okay," Eva replied dejectedly. However, she didn't stay disappointed for long, and after talking a little more with him and cuddling, she finally pulled herself out of Christian's arms, stood up, and said, "Alright, I'll go to Annabelle's room, as I need to have a conversation with her."
'And she seemed to have something to say to me too,' Eva thought as she went away, leaving the lonely Christian on his own in the living room.
Left alone and not knowing what to do, Christian, while staring at the wall, suddenly had his eyes land on his watch.
Looking at the current hour, he couldn't help but remember that they hadn't had dinner, which his sister would normally have prepared by now.
He couldn't help but chuckle to himself, thinking about how she had previously used lunch as an excuse, and now, she hadn't even bothered with the more important dinner.
[Master, there's some development I need to report.]
While wondering if his sister needed to be pampered more, Christian suddenly heard Iris's voice from his phone on the side.
'Could it be another assassin?' He had some doubts but tried to remain calm and said, "Okay, just say it. What happened?"
[Actually…]
After hearing Iris's brief report, Christian couldn't help but smile. It seemed that tomorrow, he would once again welcome another guest.
