Chapter 23 Evelyn wondered. However, she couldn’t figure it out. And heart started to fasten “What do you mean, Eric…?” Evelyn stammered. Eric grinned. “You know it. Evelyn cursed inside. But she didn’t express her anger. “I need to sleep,” Evelyn said. “OK, good night,” Eric replied, and he reached his hand to touch Evelyn’s face. However harmonious they were. It was like they had been in a relationship for many years instead of knowing each other at few days ago. “Well, he touched me again,” Evelyn said inside. She had no resistance to Eric’s unintentional and tender touch. Therefore, Evelyn immediately looked away and went to bed. Seeing this, Eric wore a seductive smile. He loved to get along with Evelyn because he realized Evelyn could be so adorable in confidence, although she looked aloof and dignified. “Aren’t you going to sleep?” Evelyn emerged her head from the quilt. Eric nodded. I’ll sleep later. Good night. He hadn’t finished his work, so he had to stay up to deal with it. “OK,” Evelyn echoed. However, Evelyn couldn’t dare sleep because she worried that Eric would do something to her after she fell asleep. Therefore, Evelyn leaned to one side to keep her gaze at Eric. She suddenly realized how charming Eric was in dealing with his work. But she couldn’t figure out what Eric was busy with. Then Evelyn unconsciously fell asleep, When she got awake by her biological clock the next morning, she found Eric was lying next to her on the bed. Evelyn had slept like a rock last night because she had had no idea when Eric had gone to bed, She couldn’t she had dropped her guard last night. After getting up and washing up, Evelyn put on a sports suit. Then she turned around to look at Eric, who was still in his sleep. Evelyn walked to the bed to gaze at Eric for a moment. She wore a sweet smile and then left the room. However, she hadn’t seen anyone else downstairs, except for the serv ants who were busy with their work in the early morning. “Morris, you got up. What do you want for your breakfast?” the butler came to Evelyn as soon as he noticed her. Evelyn slightly frowned at first and then replied, “I’ll tell you later. I need to do my morning run right now. “Got it, Ms. Evelyn,” the butler echoed. After that, he stepped back and watched Evelyn leave the house. Evelyn was the only one that got up at such early, except for Karlo. Evelyn didn’t have much self-discipline to get up early. Instead, she had formed a habit of going out to do exercises in the morning when she had been in a troop. The good thing was Jackson’s garden was wide, so Evelyn could have space to do a morning run. For a young, she thought she could keep a high mood after doing exercise every day. Additionally, she could get refreshed and energetic after that. And Evelyn thought she should’ve asked Eric to do a morning run with her if she had known when he had gone to sleep last night. Chapter 23 “Evelyn, you got up so early,” the rich voice from a man interrupted Evelyn’s thinking. She lifted her head and recognized that the voice was from Karlo, who was about to do exercise with a sword. “Good morning, dad. ” Evelyn stopped to call Karlo in a sweet tone. Eric had told Evelyn she didn’t have to be wary of Karlo. Therefore, she walked towards Karlo, asking, “Do you love to do exercise, dad?” “Yes, but just a little. You know I’m aged, and I’m not as energetic as you youngsters,” Karlo answered as he wiped his sweat with a towel. After, doing any exercise would consume one’s energy. Evelyn glanced at Karlo, continuing, “It doesn’t matter how much exercise you do. As long as you do exercise, you will get much healthier. “That’s great. Only through doing exercise can a person get healthy. ” Karlo agreed with Evelyn. However, Evelyn only smiled and didn’t reply to Karlo. “I’m sorry for having made you feel bad yesterday. But you should know Freda is a good person. She’s just a little aggressive sometimes. Don’t care about it. ” Karlo tried to comfort Evelyn as he thought Evelyn must’ve felt wronged yesterday. Evelyn nodded. “Thanks. And I didn’t care about it. Eric is an excellent man, he’s not ambitious sometimes. You must feel unsatisfied that you married him. ” Karlo sighed after his words. Karlo felt regretful and hopeless that he hadn’t created favorable conditions for Eric. “I’m not feeling bad. I can guard him for the rest of life,” Evelyn said, moving her eyebrows with pride. She must be the most arrogant and confident woman at that moment. Also, Karlo got startled after hearing those words. After coming out of his trance, Karlo nodded, saying, “I’ll feel much relieved because of your words. Eric has a strong desire to win anytime. As Eric’s father, my only wish is that he could live a peaceful life. “Dad, can I ask you a question?” Evelyn asked. She looked at Eric’s eyes and felt a little confused after those words.

Indeed, she despised one’s cheating. However, her question had something to do with Eric. Therefore, Evelyn didn’t feel much disgusted. “Didn’t Eric tell you that?” Karlo asked in awe as a few people knew his affair. Evelyn shook her head, saying, “No, he didn’t. I knew the story accidentally. Suddenly, the vibe got embarrassing. After a while, Karlo decided to say something. “You know the people in the wealthy families used to think one should marry a person with equal family background. So, we couldn’t decide our marriage. A man and a woman had to get married by the arrangement from their family no matter they had affection or not. Karlo got a little downhearted he talked about his past. It seemed that he felt sad because of those memories. Evelyn listened to Karlo’s narration and didn’t make a sound. “I fell in love with Eric’s mother when I saw her for the first time. And then I started to have a relationship with her, but I didn’t tell her I had gotten married. ” Karlo got intoxicated in his talk. Evelyn thought Karlo must’ve had a happy time before. “So, didn’t she know that?” Evelyn asked with curiosity. But Eric’s mother wasn’t a stu pid person. Indeed, she had discerned Karlo’s secret one day. After all, Karlo couldn’t stay with Eric’s mother all the time as he had established a family. “She hasn’t known it at first. But later, she followed me secretly to Lavine City. Then she recognized that…” Karlo stammered. He had felt so desperate when Eric’s mother had known that secret. She hadn’t quarreled with Karlo but slapped Karlo and left. “So, did she abandon you?” Evelyn asked with doubt. She was eager to know anything about Eric. Karlo nodded, replying, “Yes, she did. She’s a tough man. After getting consulted by Freda, she left Lavine. I had looked for her for a long, but I failed. It felt like she had vanished in the world. William was diagnosed with cancer. To spare his wife Wilda from distress, he kept it a secret and continued to dedicate himself fully to their game company. Meanwhile, Wilda constantly supported her f...
