Chapter 37 Marriage Of Convenience

• As Eve stepped into the foyer, the soft glow of the chandelier above illuminated her exhausted features. Her eyes, sunken from lack of sleep, scanned the room as she handed her bag over to the waiting maid. The maid's silent efficiency was a comforting familiarity, a reminder of the life Eve once knew.
• With a quiet sigh, Eve made her way to the sitting room, her footsteps muffled by the plush carpet. As she entered, she was immediately enveloped in a warm, golden light that spilled from the floor lamps. The room was filled with the sweet scent of freshly cut flowers, arranged artfully in a crystal vase on the coffee table.
• Seated on the plush sofa, Mrs. Gella and Lady Mary were deep in conversation, their hushed tones a stark contrast to the warm, inviting atmosphere of the room. Mrs. Gella's eyes sparkled as she caught sight of Eve, a bright, forced smile spreading across her face.
