CHAPTER 18.1THIRD PERSON P.O.VWHAT'S more surprising is that she seemed to fear Mr. Valcarcel very much as if he would cause her death of her or something. Even when Angus would just mention his name to Evelyn, there would be reluctance and fear in her eyes.What's more, the way she gave Mr. Valcarcel a title of a psychopath villain. How could she be so sure that he is a psychopath just by basing the words of the people? How did he become a villain?There were even times that she looked like she knows Mr. Valcarcel's personality well. A lot of things are hidden well in her eyes as her lips were sealed very well but Angus—or Mr. Valcarcel, could see through it even though she didn't say anything or tell him about what kind of secrets she was hiding he could guess that it was something that he shouldn't know about.He couldn't help but be curious now. Who is she? What's her real name? Where is she from? Will she leave once her mission was completed? How did she come here and become t
CHAPTER 18.2 EVELYN'S P.O.V Hearing my words, Evangeline felt like she wants to puke. It was too disgusting for her to hear, however, for me, it was even more disgusting for me to say those words to the point that I felt goosebumps. I endured these nauseated feelings while I faked my smile—but in their peripheral vision, it was a sincere smile. Evan, my stepbrother also spoke. “Did someone bully you here? You can say it to us and we'll help you.” I almost rolled my eyes after hearing those arrogant words. If I said that I wanted to beat the shit out of them, could I do that? Just how thick their face is, acting like they didn't bully and abused ‘me’. I glance at him and smiled. “Nah, it was fine. I'm very fine. Look at my figure, I didn't look like I did before I looks like a skeleton who hasn't been fed for a month. I've been doing here well and I am well treated.” Hearing my words, her stepmother raised her brows. “Well treated? Aren't you just a mere servant that was sold? Why
CHAPTER 19THIRD PERSON P.O.V AT NIGHT, Evelyn dreamed.In her dreams, she found herself being lost in the fog. She didn't get panicked or even tried to call for someone especially since she knows that this was her dream. Instead, she found a place which is comfortable for her, sat down then tried to fall asleep in her dream.However, before she could tell asleep, someone's voice that is unfamiliar to her, grunted.“Can't you pretend to call someone, say hi or hello, and ask where you are? I haven't seen someone who would just sit down and try to fall asleep in such an unfamiliar place.” It was a voice of a woman who complained to her, making Evelyn open her eyes and look in front of where the woman was.It was an unfamiliar woman. Evelyn's brows tightened as she looked her in the eyes and asked, “Who are you? Why are you inside my dream? Why can't you let me fall asleep? It's nighttime and time for me to fall asleep.”The unfamiliar woman clicked her tongue and grunted. “It's becaus
CHAPTER 20.1EVELYN'S P.O.VMy eyes glanced at the butler who was in the kitchen, in charge of cooking. I couldn't help but be amazed as I watched him cook the dishes. It was like I was watching a live cooking show, especially those elegant moves and his facial expressions that were serious with what he was doing. I didn't know that my mouth formed a smile with twinkled eyes as I watched him cook. I couldn't help but praise him whole heatedly.“Wow, you're good at cooking. Even though I haven't tasted your food, I could feel that it's gonna be delicious. Just by the aromas, I could hear my stomach grumbling. I never thought that you were versatile. Aside from being a butler, you're also good at cooking.” I said while praising him sincerely as I made a thumbs-up gesture.When he heard me compliment him, Angus glanced at me and let out a soft chuckle as there was still those sunny and warm expression when he looked at me. “You haven't tasted it yet and it's my first time cooking,” Ang
CHAPTER 20.2EVELYN'S P.O.V“It was not that bad for me but yeah, every time my stepmother gave me food, there would always be poison on it. Though the poison that she put on the food is just small and isn't enough to kill me, that's why you can still see me today.” I replied nonchalantly because, for me, it doesn't matter if I would eat food that had poison in it. After all, I know that my body can handle the poison and even if it can't, I can handle the pain since I had a high tolerance when it comes to pain.However, what irritates me the most is knowing that Eve suffered from this kind of pain. It's like slow torture that I had been suffering since childhood. Although this was the world of novels that I happened to read, after meeting Eve in my dreams and talking about how she managed to clone my original body from the original world and even transferred my soul to the clone it made me think that I transmigrated and used Eve's body.However, I was mistaken all along because it wa
CHAPTER 21EVELYN'S P.O.VAfter seeing Angus who was stunned by the words that I spouted, I couldn't help but laugh.I don't know why but these days, I found out that I had been teasing him. More like I enjoyed teasing him. I could easily express my emotion whenever I'm with him, unlike the ‘me’ in the past. Back in my original world.Is this because I'm too comfortable being with him? Or it's because I just trust him that much?Or maybe it's because I haven't encountered such a man whom I find comfortable to be with other than my adopted son—of course, my adopted son isn't a man but rather a boy. A child.Although my nausea doesn't affect those children, the elderly, or those she perceived as a family—more like those I trusted that won't take advantage of me which are those gangsters and butchers that were my tenants, it was also different from those people who looked at me with those lustful eyes as if they want to strip me naked, which made me uncomfortable.Angus's brows furrowed
CHAPTER 22.1EVELYN'S P.O.VMy brows furrowed as I glanced at Angus who suddenly went silent after hearing what I just said. I couldn't help but sigh as I let out a soft chuckle My hands reached out and patted his shoulder as if he was my pal or something.“Don't pay attention to my words. There are times that I speak nonsense.” I said while laughing then I added, “is the strongest here Mr. Valcarcel, right?”Angus calmly nodded his head after he heard my question at the latter. “Yeah, it seemed so but there are also those betas or alphas who want to kill him or harm him in any other way. They took advantage of the fact that Mr. Valcarcel's legs were paralyzed. They think that Mr. Valcarcel is already weak that's why they were too confident in killing him in secret to take over the Valcarcel Clan.”I sneered. “No matter how much they try to bring someone down to take over someone's throne, they won't succeed. They won't easily bring Mr. Valcarcel down even with his paralyzed legs. So
CHAPTER 22.2EVELYN'S P.O.VAlthough I asked out of curiosity, it doesn't mean that I wanted an answer! Maybe the reason why it wasn't stated in the novel is that those who know too much are killed and he hid it from anyone because for him, it was too embarrassing to say. More like a black history. Angus looked at her serious face and had the urge to pinch her cheeks and kissed her, but he restrained himself, or else he might scare her away.Looking at me seriously when I said those words, he couldn't help but smile. “It's fine to say about it. The master says it's fine.”I sneered and slapped his broad shoulder. “Don't lie. Don't tell anyone about it next time. Although the wound is already healed, I'm sure that there's still a scar left. It might be his black history in his whole life.”“You say it as if you know him too much,” Angus said with a smile, making me avert my eyes.“It's just my guess.”“How could you easily guess something like that?”I defended myself. “Well what can
