A smile formed at the corner of Ezra's lips as he gazed at the beautiful sight in front of him; when he saw Evelyn looking at him, he began to play his violin and then parted his lips to sing a song.
"A groovy kind of love...When I'm feeling blue, all I have to do
is take a look at you, then I'm not so blue. When you're close to me, I can feel your heart beat, can hear you breathing near my ear..."
Ezra sang the song "A Groovy Kind of Love" and in his majestic, hoarse voice. The melody became especially enchanting and moving. Soon, tears welled up in Evelyn's eyes. She was smiling faintly and she stood still as if in a trance or under the spell of the music.
As Ezra finished singing, Evelyn smiled and then wiped her eyes, sniffling. Then she exclaimed, "Ezra Zhou, are you sure that the love between you and me is so groovy?"
At her question, Ezra frowned and then handed the violin to someone else. He descended the steps to stand in front of Evelyn. "Don't you think it is groovy?" he asked.
Evelyn was smiling happily, but she raised an eyebrow at him. "I don't think I love you."
"..." Ezra was speechless and his facial expression seemed to be frozen momentarily. The corners of his mouth began twitching. Gritting his teeth, he asked her, "Evelyn, are you really a woman? For you, romance doesn't work!" Ezra could not be angrier. He'd been very busy the past few days and thus hadn't had much time to be with her. Afraid that Evelyn would be upset with him, he was racking his brain for ideas on how to make it up to her and to keep her happy. However, Evelyn didn't seem to appreciate anything that he did. He eventually concluded that because she was a tough girl, he wasn't about to be soft in any way towards her.
Seeing how angry Ezra was, Evelyn burst into laughter all of a sudden.
Ezra was beginning to think that he just might die an early death if he stayed with Evelyn because his heart had to bear her torturous behavior towards him. There was only so much his heart could handle. However, he could not help but like this feeling. He liked to see Evelyn laugh and pretend to be angry.
"If you go on laughing, I will kiss you... Wow..." Ezra didn't finish his sentence when Evelyn pounced on him and put her arms around his neck as she pressed her soft lips against his.
In Evelyn's opinion, a woman didn't always need to wait for a man to take the lead in their relationship. As long as they loved each other, a woman could do anything boldly. She could even lay over the man and conquer him. In this way, the man would sink into her aggressive yet soft attack forever and would never leave her. Once he left her, he would lose his appetite and lose sleep.
Seeing Evelyn and Ezra, Addison shook his head. Without turning his head, he asked Jay, who was standing behind him, "Is Evelyn a fruit of gene mutation in the Long Family?"
Hearing that, a faint smile played on Jay's poker face, which rarely happened. Respectfully, he answered, "Young Master, Mr. Brian Long and Mrs. Molly Long once said that Miss Evelyn is a gift from the God because the Long Family was very short of smiles."
Addison turned his head aside to take a look at Jay. As a smile appeared on his face, he said, "Hmm, I like this explanation." Just as quickly as he spoke those words, Addison turned to leave.
"Young Master, aren't you going to have dinner with them?" Jay asked as he glanced at Addison then at the couple in front of them.
"I'd better not disturb them," Addison answered with a smile.
