Semua Bab Sorry, Too Late: Bab 131 - Bab 140

Boom!His words hit like a thunderclap, ringing in everyone's ears.Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya stared at Evan in shock. 'Did he just tell us to get lost? Was that his idea of an apology? Doesn't he want our protection anymore? Is he seriously not afraid of dying?'"Evan, what did you just say? Have you lost your mind?"The three women burned with anger upon hearing his words.'Fine. Him refusing to apologize is one thing, but how dare he tell us to leave! Right now, we are the only ones who can ensure his safety. Unbelievable.'In that moment, Hazel and the others felt Evan was a stranger—nothing like the man they once knew."Are you all deaf?" Evan's voice rose, sharp with impatience. "I said, get lost. Stop bothering me."Irritation showed plainly on his face. In his eyes, they were like pests who refused to stay dead. They had nothing to do with him anymore, yet they still hovered around him like flies.He still needed to intercept Sylvie. So, he had no time to waste on them

Just having her around the house was enough to lift anyone's mood.'Splish!'Another burst of water rose as Estelle emerged from the pool, her long hair loose and her body dripping wet.Droplets glided down her hair, arms, and cheeks. Each droplet highlighted her flawless figure. The fresh, clean air around her now held a subtle touch of post-swim charm.Estelle offered her a warm smile when she noticed that Artemisia had become dumbstruck by her beauty. Artemisia's eyes widened as her cheeks warmed slightly. Estelle's striking beauty truly disarmed everyone, men and women alike."Artemisia, are you close with Sylvie?" Estelle asked lightly.She picked up a towel, casually drying her hair while walking over to sit beside her, smiling sweetly.If Evan had been there, he would have immediately noticed that this mischievous little one was up to something."She should be back soon... but, uh, Ms. Laurent, why are you asking? Aren't you worried about running into Ms. Stanton?" A

Evan sensed the impending explosion and hurried after Sylvie.What he didn't know was that Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya had already started to turn back.Something crossed Anya's mind. She glanced at Hazel and asked, "What do you think Evan's reaction is now that we just left?"The question made Hazel and Roxanne pause."What reaction could he have?" Hazel replied with certainty. "He's definitely sulking. He'll regret it once he cools off."Roxanne nodded. "He came to ask for our help. Not only did he fail, but he also made the situation worse. Of course, he's upset. Perhaps he might still be standing right there."That possibility made all three of them smile."Let's go back and take a look.""Maybe we'll even catch him throwing a fit."They were completely convinced Evan would eventually lower his head.No one gambled with their own life.Right now, Evan was nothing more than a clown to them. The colder and more aloof he acted, the more entertaining it was for them.His arrog

Sylvie's silence only made Estelle more pleased."And who said I'm freeloading?" Estelle added sweetly. "I'm here to learn from Evan. My dad says I'm still young and should get more life experience from him."She turned to Evan with a bright smile. "Right, Evan?"Then, she looped her arms around his before he could react. Sylvie stared. This girl was far craftier than she looked.Evan had no way to deny it. Still, he kept his expression neutral as he calmly slipped his arm free. After all, the mayor really had said something along those lines."But Sylvie, you don't have to worry," Estelle went on, putting on an obedient look. "I understand first-come, first-served. I don't mind taking second place."Sylvie's brows drew tight.Her possessiveness ran deep. She wouldn't share Evan, not even with her own aunt.There was no way she would tolerate another woman living under the same roof.In her eyes, Evan was hers.No one else was taking him from her.Sylvie snapped sharply,

Evan would meditate upon the Ninefold Arcane Arts during his rest. The Ninefold Arcane Arts covered everything and was a deeply complex art to master. He needed time to go through it.Suddenly, something rustled. Someone had snuck into his room. Evan's eyes snapped open. What he saw sobered him up. A woman was lying on his bed, and she was barely wearing anything. The scent she radiated stirred something inside Evan.Estelle had come in, much to Evan's shock. "What are you doing in my room? It's the dead of the night!"Estelle chuckled into his ear. "I did say my room was freezing, and I needed yours to warm me up."Evan was concerned, but he couldn't move, not when Estelle was still on his bed. "Where's Sylvie?" he asked. She and Estelle came holding their blankets. They both wanted to sleep with him, but only one got in."Oh, her? She fell asleep." Estelle added, "Sound asleep." Oh, she was smug about it. After all, she made it happen. She put Sylvie to sleep. Still, it wasn't a
