“Evan, have you gone nuts? How could you let someone like that stay?”
“Mom, s-she must stay.”
“Seriously, Evan, what do you see in her? Ask yourself and be honest. Do you really love her?”
It doesn’t matter if I love her. I made a promise that I cannot break.
Davin had his eyes on Evan, and the former could tell that the latter was hiding something.
“That is none of your business. She must stay.”
Evan’s persistence infuriated Sophia, and she demanded an explanation.
Sylphiette saw how troubled Evan was, and she was worried that he would tell them the truth. Once he shared the secret, Davin and Sophia will surely spare no expense investigating the matter. If the truth is discovered…
“Evan, I don’t want to put you in an awkward position. I’ll leave. I’ll leave right now…” said Sylphiette, before she stood up and dashed out while crying.
“Shouldn’t you pack your stuffs?” asked Davin as he glared from behind.
She should pack and leave without looking back like Nicole did. That was true determination.
Dragging your feet and putting on an act like that. It’s obvious you want Evan to chase after you.
To everyone’s surprise, Sylphiette didn’t wait for Evan to chase after her before Crack! Sylphiette fell onto the floor.
“Ah, my leg. My leg hurts so much!”
That was when Davin realized that Sylphiette never wanted Evan to chase after her. She fell deliberately so she couldn’t move out. That was her true intention and how she planned on staying.
Huh, that is a pretty good trick. Evil, but good.
As expected, Evan rushed over to check on her. Sylphiette acted as if she couldn’t move and was weak and in pain.
She is pretty good at acting weak.
Exasperated, Evan had the maid help Sylphiette into the room, then call the family doctor over to check on Sylphiette.
That whole incident got Sophia fuming.
Davin chimed in from the side, “Mom, I have an idea. Let’s get the production company to sign a contract with her and make her an actress. She doesn’t even need a script to act well.”
