Last Updated:
2025-11-14 12:00:22Forcing him to get married had been a last resort.
They hoped a beautiful wife would distract him and keep him from interfering again.But it made Evelyn wonder.
What grudge did Nicholas hold against his father that he felt compelled to disrupt the election?If Edward became Prime Minister, wouldn’t that give his son even more prestige?She did not dwell on it.
After getting ready, she went downstairs.
Seeing her, Liam put aside what he was doing and walked over. “Mrs. Drake, are you heading out?”
“Yes. I have an appointment with a patient at the counseling office.”
“I’ll have the driver bring the car around.”
Liam went to notify the driver. When he returned, Evelyn was by the entryway, slipping on her fleece-lined shoes. Liam handed her a scarf and gloves, one by one.
“Mrs. Drake, your health is fragile. It’s cold outside. Make sure you stay warm. Avoid

She lifted her head and first saw his clean sharp jawline, then his well defined face. His fingers were warm and firm as he held her by the shoulder through her clothes. Evelyn could clearly feel the strength in his knuckles.Every board member in the room stood up and greeted him politely.Fabian was no exception.Sensing that the situation had turned, Fabian stopped looking at Quiana and stood up with a forced smile. “Mr. Drake knows this student?”“Evelyn. My wife.”The room fell into instant silence.For a long moment, there was not a sound, until faint murmurs slowly spread.The board members who had felt Evelyn looked familiar finally remembered. They had seen Mrs. Drake from afar at Mr. and Mrs. Craig’s anniversary banquet last month.Back then, she had been elegantly dressed in a refined gown.She had been holding Nicholas’s arm. He was tall and broad, shielding h

Evelyn turned back toward the campus.From a distance, she could already see Bonnie gathered with the class monitor and several others. As she got closer, their voices carried over.“There is no way Evelyn can deliver all those graduation gowns by herself.”“Bonnie, if you do not actually have something important, we are not going to keep running around the whole campus with you. We will take the remaining gowns over together.”“Exactly. And Evelyn is not in great health. If she has to walk back and forth too many times and faints, that would be trouble.”Bonnie was just about to say something else when she caught sight of Evelyn walking toward them. Her eyes widened in shock.“Why are you here?”She had already bribed the owner of the gown rental shop. She told him, “When someone from the psychology department comes to return the gowns, lock her in the storage room.”

Near noon.Evelyn left the office and headed to Zhicheng Building, just like the class rep had said. Everyone had to gather there within two hours to return their graduation gowns.When she arrived, the class rep had already collected almost everything. A huge pile of gowns was stacked on the stone edge of a flowerbed.Evelyn folded hers neatly and placed it on top.Just then, Bonnie ran over from nearby. “Class rep, I need to talk to you about something.”“I still have to return all these gowns…”“Find someone else.” Bonnie turned her head to look Evelyn up and down. “She stood in the center for the graduation photo. It’s only fair she does something for the whole class now, right?”“You can’t take all the benefits and do nothing. Isn’t that right, Student Yu?”“But Evelyn doesn’t have the strength to carry that many gowns,”

The lineup was set.Taking the graduation photos took no more than a few clicks of the shutter.The moment the photographer lowered his camera, Bonnie shoved past the people in front of her and strode down the steps. As she left, she turned back and shot Evelyn a vicious glare. “I’ll remember this!”Evelyn said nothing.She only tilted her head at her in a slightly dazed, innocent way, as if she did not understand what Bonnie meant at all.“You’re free to move around now. Please gather again in front of Zhicheng Building in two hours to return your gowns in full.”“If any caps or stoles are lost, they will need to be compensated at full price.”The class representative called out to everyone.Bonnie glanced at the person speaking and then at the rented gown on her own body with disdain. The people in this class were truly poor. They could not even afford to buy a graduation gown a

The next day.Evelyn tied her hair into a neat bun and changed into the light blue puff sleeve dress Liam had prepared for her.Gloria knocked and entered the master bedroom, glancing toward the brightly lit walk in closet. “Ma’am, I’ve placed your shoes on the carpet. Breakfast is ready. Mr. Drake is already in the dining room.”“Alright. I’ll be down after I finish changing.”The weather was perfect today.Bright sunshine, an average temperature of twenty four degrees.Evelyn slipped on a pair of flat white leather shoes, slung a small cloud shaped crossbody bag over her shoulder, dabbed on some moisturizer in front of the mirror, then went downstairs.In the dining room, she pulled out a chair and sat across from Nicholas.She picked up her fork and lowered her head to eat strawberry jam pancakes. The man opposite her placed a fried egg into her bowl of noodles. “How long will

Evelyn watched him walk closer.Nicholas stopped by the bed and bent down to pick up the jar of body lotion lying on the sheets. He turned it over in his hand, examining it. “I’ve never seen you use this before.”Her vanity table was filled with bottles and jars. Some were for night use, some for mornings, some for spring, some for winter.Nicholas could not tell them apart, but he knew they were all for her face.He had not realized there was also something for the body.Hearing him, Evelyn explained, “My skin’s been a bit dry these past two days. My calves were peeling, so I used some body lotion.”Nicholas opened the jar and smelled it.The scent was very light, a soft milk fragrance.No wonder she always smelled nice. He had thought it was because she used that milk body wash. He had even tried it himself, but it never smelled the same.He had once wondered if body wash favored bea
