Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1192

Evelyn wasn't happy to have breakfast today; she felt upset whenever she thought about how different Addison and Charlie were. Addison, who was 27 and who still hadn't had a lover, seemed to think of himself as being very young. In contrast, Charlie had fallen in love with a girl in his primary school years, and he had been in love with the same girl for more than 10 years. Had they undergone gene mutation?

As she thought about it all, Evelyn bit off some of the bread and chewed slowly but surely. Her gaze focused on Addison in front of her, as if she were imagining that the piece of bread was Addison.

Seeing the expressions on Evelyn's face, Addison could not help but smile. The smile spread from the corners of his mouth to his eyes. Both he and Charlie pampered their youngest sister, but in different ways. Addison was the eldest, and so acted as a parental figure for Charlie and Evelyn, his younger twins, in place of their parents. In addition, he felt responsible for the twins especially because he was a candidate for the power holder of Dragon Island, while Charlie and Evelyn were members of the Long Family. On the other hand, Charlie pampered his twin sister in a much simpler sense.

"There is a series of new arrivals from 'Only Memory'," Addison said, smearing jam on a piece of bread. "Mommy said that Aunt Ximena has initiated a new series for young adults for your sake."

He had thought that Evelyn would be grateful, but to his disappointment, she rolled her eyes and tilted her head up as though she didn't want to talk to her brother at all. "I'm not interested," she told him.

Addison didn't seem too shocked by his younger sister's cold response. He only took a look at her with a smile, and then he continued to smear jam on his piece of bread. "Are you going to have lunch together with me and then go to Flight Media, or...?"

"You're going there too?" Evelyn asked, glancing at him.

"Yeah. I will go and have a look," Addison replied as he set the piece of bread covered in jam down on Evelyn's plate. Then he picked up his napkin and wiped his fingers, all in one swift, elegant manner. "As it happens, I have something to do there." He paused for a bit and then added, "Ezra will also arrive in T City at noon today."

"Why is he coming here? He said he'd be busy working on the assignment you gave him, so he can't come. Isn't that true?" Evelyn turned to him suddenly, her eyes widened. It was hard to tell whether there was surprise or delight in them–perhaps both. Either way, she was so surprised at the piece of news that she seemed to forget that she had been annoyed just moments earlier.

Addison knew instantly what she was thinking, but despite knowing her feelings quite well, he didn't talk about that, for he knew that would only embarrass her. He only answered her question. "That issue has been transferred to T City. In case of anything unexpected, I will go back to Dragon Island with a legal team."
