She paused , then smiled apologetically . " I'm sorry for picking your crape myrtle blooms carlier without asking . I hope you don't mind . " " It's fine . You're welcome to come pick them anytime you like . " The butler beamed . " The crape myrtle bloom season has just begun . Many more varieties will bloom later . Ms. Hawley , you should visit often to enjoy them . " Evander washed his hands , returned , and sat at the stone table . He picked up a brownie and took a bite . " Thank you . It's delicious . " Yvette , wearing her mask , felt a little embarrassed . " My face has been allergic lately ... I'd better not have the coffee . Is it okay if I just look around for a bit ? " Though she only took a brief , polite stroll . Yvette felt completely satisfied . Seeing such beautiful flowers , scenery , and such a handsome person had noticeably lifted her spirits . Yvette went back to say goodbye . " Thank you for your gift . " Evander stood up . " Let me see you out . " Yvette had just stepped out of the Fleming's villa when she saw Raymond pacing outside . He visibly relaxed upon seeing her . wiping non - existent sweat from his brow On the way back , Raymond couldn't help asking , " That box of brownies ... They accepted it ? " Yvette found the question odd . " Yes , they did . Evander ? His name is Evander , right ? He even said it was delicious . " Raymond was stunned . After Yvette left , Willard walked out of the room , looking confused . " Darrell , did we have a visitor ? Whoa , are those brownies ? Pecan flavor ? I love these ! " He plopped down on a stone stool and reached for them . With a thwack , a fork struck his wrist with precision . Willard yanked his hand back 06:43 Chapter 24 : 200 Vouchers instinctively , staring bewildered at his cousin . He'd been napping and wasn't fully awake yet . " Evander , what's up ? I thought you didn't eat brownies . Besides , last time Darrell chased Serena away ... " " I like them now , " Evander said , lifting his gaze coolly . " Got a problem with that ? " Willard looked at him as if he'd seen a ghost . Then , he suddenly pointed at Evander's face , making a fuss . " Evander ! Your face ! You've got a rash ! Oh my god , you're having an allergic reaction ! " Darrell was also stunned . Looking closer , he saw that many small red bumps had appeared on Evander's face . Against his pale skin , the rash looked particularly alarming . " Mr. Fleming ! " Darrell was prepared to make a call . " Are you feeling unwell ? I'll call the family doctor ... " " No need . " Evander said dismissively . He walked to a herb garden in a corner of the courtyard and picked a few plants . " Boil these in water . When I drink it , it'll fade . Not a big deal . " Darrell , looking perplexed , took the herbs and went to the kitchen to prepare the drug . Willard slowly relaxed , and his hand crept back toward the brownies . " Evander , if you can't eat them , just don't . You've never been one for snacks anyway . No need to save face for anyone . " Willard thought , " The brownies must have been sent by Serena . Since Darrell had rather rudely shooed her away last time , Evander probably acted out of character and ate the brownies to appease her feelings . " The fork struck his hand again , much harder this time . Willard looked at his reddening hand , utterly wronged . " Evander ! What was that for ? You can't eat them , so I can't either ? " Evander wasn't someone who cared much about food . Over some brownies , it wasn't really necessary . In response , the brownies were scooped up by a slender hand and carried away , leaving him with nothing but a cold , retreating figure . 06 43 Chapter 24 1288 Vouchers When Yvette entered the mansion's main hall , she found it unusually lively . Staff from various luxury brands were coming and going , carrying clothes and other items Serena was sitting on the living room sofa . Seeing Yvette enter , she sprang to her feet " Yvie . " Serena seemed slightly ill at ease . " These are all birthday gifts from Mr. Duckworth , Rett , and Cliff , " she explained softly . Yvette glanced around casually . There were designer clothes , bags , shoes , and some jewelry . It was hard to tell if the givers had put much thought into it . All the items were classic pieces from their respective brands , the kind one could easily see anyone wearing on the street . She pointed casually at a white dress . " This is from Everett ? " " Yes , is there a problem ? " Serena's eyes flickered over Yvette's outdated clothes . Suddenly , she said , " Yvie , if you like it . I can give it to you . " 06.43
