“Okay. Thanks, Aunt Chloe,” answered Andrew.
“It’s been a long journey. You should be thirsty now. I’ll let you a glass of water.” Chloe went to get some water.
“Evelyn,” Andrew reached out his hand, “Where are you?”
Evelyn put her hand in his palm. He gripped her hand and said, "When we arrived at City C, you'll meet my parents, younger brother, and younger sister..."
“Andrew,” Evelyn interrupted him. She had originally thought for real that he was from an ordinary family. However, since they came back, on the way, she could feel how well others treated Andrew. Also, when they mentioned Andrew’s father, she could tell that his father wasn’t ordinary.
“You are not from an ordinary family, are you?” she asked.
“No worries, Evelyn. My mom is a gentle woman. She will like you.” Andrew didn’t want to give her any fixed impression first. He said, “You don’t need to worry. My family members are all easygoing. I like you, and do will they.”
When Chloe walked over with a glass of water, she heard what Andrew said and paused her paces, gazing at Evelyn. In the beginning, she had thought that Evelyn had just saved Andrew. However, now she realized that there was something between them.
She wondered if Evelyn had done something to Andrew when he was blind. Otherwise, how could Andrew like her when he was blind?
In Chloe’s opinion, Evelyn was just a country girl, who didn't deserve Andrew at all. She couldn't marry into the Nelson family.
She walked over, passing the glass of water to Andrew. Looking at Evelyn, Chloe said, “May I talk with you? I just want to know what happened after Andrew has been saved.”
“Of course,” Evelyn answered, not too humble nor too arrogant.
“Aunt Chloe, Evelyn is quite timid. Don’t scare her.” Andrew smiled. Evelyn had just arrived, so he was worried that she hadn’t got used to it yet
Chloe looked at him. “You brad, since when have you become so caring?”
She wondered if he was obsessed. Andrew had never cared about or been so protective to any other girl before.
He hadn’t seen the country girl’s look but he could be so protective, so Chloe believed that Evelyn must have done something to him.
"No worries. I don't eat humans," Chloe said with a smile.
Andrew couldn’t see, so he couldn’t judge Chloe’s intention right now.
“Come on. Let me show you around.” Chloe took Evelyn's hands friendly. "Although it's an old residential area, no ordinary family could move in here."
Evelyn pressed her lips in silence, nodding politely.
When they reached a place where Andrew couldn’t hear her voice, Chloe put away her smile. “Do you know anything about Andrew’s family?”
“It should be quite influential,” said Evelyn.
She just felt it that way, but she didn’t know any details
“It should be?” Chloe smiled. “It is indeed. His family is more than influential.”
Evelyn smiled and said, “For real?”
"Of course," Chloe stopped beating around the bush. "A few days ago, his younger brother got married. The bride's father was an important government official. You now know how good Andrew's family background is. I heard you are an orphan."
Evelyn was quite smart, so she understood what Chloe meant.
"His family is a super-rich and powerful family. If you have any evil intention, you want to climb up by marrying him." Chloe's words were quite harsh and awful. "You've saved Andrew. We do appreciate you. No matter how much you want, we can give it to you. However, since you played dirty tricks to deceive Andrew. We won't allow you to achieve your goals."
“What did I do to deceive him?” Evelyn frowned and couldn’t bear Chloe’s sarcasm at all.
