Chapter 4038 
As Evan’s biological mother, Rosella didn’t hold back. She posted a comment during the live stream, urging him to eat more chili peppers and eat faster. With a tone of disdain, she remarked that his slow pace made the broadcast unbearably dull. 
She wasn’t shy about her disappointment. Evan’s inability to win Abby back frustrated her, and even his effort at eating chili peppers seemed lacking compared to others. 
To drive her point home, she sent virtual gifts, each one paired with a message pushing him to eat more and pick up the pace. 
Seeing Rosella’s actions, the rest of the York family jumped on the bandwagon. After all, if even the family matriarch and Evan’s own mother were involved, how could they not follow suit? Comments flooded in, urging Evan to keep eating, and gifts poured in as a show of encouragement. 
Evan, already overwhelmed by the unbearable spiciness, glanced at the screen and saw the barrage of comments and gifts from his family. Through the haze of burning pain, he seemed to grasp the message they were sending: he had to go all in. 
Driven by their unspoken challenge, he grabbed handfuls of chili peppers and shoved them into his mouth. The fiery heat brought tears streaming down his face, and his lips swelled from the relentless assault of spice. 
Meanwhile, Abby was watching the live stream. Seeing the comments and Evan’s desperate effort, her heart ached. 
Unable to take it any longer, she turned off the live stream. But even with the broadcast off, she couldn’t focus. Her mind was a whirlwind of emotions, and her heart felt heavy. 
Minutes later, unable to suppress her feelings, she tossed her pen aside, stood up, and pushed her chair back. Without hesitation, she strode out of her office. 
As soon as she stepped into the hallway, she came face-to-face with her sister, Adalee. 
“Elder sister,” Abby called out. 
Adalee, fully aware of the situation, smiled knowingly. “Abby, heading out?” 
Abby hesitated for a moment before blurting out, “He’s eaten so many chili peppers already. He doesn’t even eat spicy food. Eating that much at once could hurt his stomach.” 
Despite everything, Abby couldn’t help but feel sorry for Evan. 
Adalee’s smile widened. “If you feel bad for him, go stop him. He’s done enough. For someone who can’t handle spice, what he’s eaten so far is more than enough.” 
Adalee had never intended for Evan to finish the entire basket of chili peppers. She simply wanted to make things difficult for him and gauge how sincere he was about winning Abby back. As long as Evan was willing to endure the challenge, she was prepared to let him off the hook—at least for now. 
Of course, this was just the first test. 
In the past, Evan’s pursuit of Abby had been smooth sailing. Their family had been impressed with his background—he came from the prestigious York family, the wealthiest in Wiltspoon— and his initial efforts had been commendable. 
Adalee herself had investigated Evan and concluded he was a good match for Abby. If they ended up together, Abby would likely be very happy. The York family’s values and traditions had also earned the approval of the Du family elders. 
But then Evan ruined everything. After spending a couple of months pursuing Abby and stirring her heart, he abruptly declared that he couldn’t fall in love with her. 
For Abby, a woman of pride and confidence, the rejection was a crushing blow. Though she didn’t outwardly express her pain, Adalee and the rest of the family could see it. Their hearts broke for her. 
Out of loyalty and love for Abby, Adalee and her family had even considered flying to Wiltspoon to confront Evan and hold him accountable. But Abby had stopped them. 
Instead, she took a leave of absence, flew to Wiltspoon herself, and tried to resolve things directly with Evan. 
When she returned, Abby insisted that there had never been anything official between them. 
They hadn’t publicly declared a relationship, so there was nothing to break off. But Adalee knew better—Abby was still thinking about Evan. 
Despite their instincts to intervene, the family had respected Abby’s wishes and stayed out of it. 
But now that Evan was making the effort to come back and win Abby over, Adalee and the others were no longer willing to stand idly by.
