Eva Yerbury was a maid who worked for the Shaw family. She was the second generation as her parents were also maids of the Shaw family. However, when Eva was still a five-year-old child, she had followed her parents abroad with the three Shaw brothers to take care of them. That way, Eva, who was originally a child of the maids, became a proper third culture individual living abroad. However, Eva was better than many third culture individuals as she was incredibly fluent in English.
Firstly, it was because she was already five years old when she went abroad, so basic communication skills have already been developed. Secondly, it was also because Eva’s parents do not speak Spanish, so she had been communicating with her parents in English. Also, her three masters were already more than ten years old when went abroad, so the language of communication was English. Therefore, Eva's English was very good and her Spanish was even better.
Even though Eva was a second-generation maid of the Shaw family and her parents were also working as maids abroad, the Shaw family had treated Eva quite well. Eva had gone to school abroad from childhood until her college days. Therefore, Eva had an illusion as if she was a child born into a noble family. She was a popular girl in school as well. However, Eva was extremely picky when it came to getting a boyfriend. She never took a fancy to the usual outstanding boys. All of the boys that she had taken a fancy to came from eminent families abroad.
Once, a prince of a small country in
Wrisland wanted to date Eva, but she did not even take a look at him at all. The reason was that although he was a prince, he was unfashionable like a country bumpkin. Also, his country was smaller than South City, and they had to rely on relief every year in order to live. What was the point of her marrying such a prince? Besides, that prince had a very thick accent when he spoke in Spanish, which had Eva in stitches. The prince got down on one knee in front of the whole school to confess to Eva, but she only treated it as a joke.
