"I'd rather send you to the Ember Wastes," Lucian said, expressionless."No! Boss! I'm leaving right now!" Julian vanished in a flash.After he left, Lucian couldn't help picturing Evelyn's face.Every smile, every glance, the way her eyes moved, grew sharper the more he thought of her.When she was feeding him, or playing with Frost, it all felt so natural, so harmonious.It had only been a few days, yet it felt as if they'd known each other for a very long time.And his longing for Little Darling had softened a little.The moment he realized it, his hands clenched into fists.A voice in his head kept warning him.I can't forget Little Darling. Absolutely not.Now back to Evelyn.She found a hotel, took off her disguise, and changed back into her usual clothes.She looked at the beautiful woman in the mirror, with fair skin and a glowing complexion, and couldn't help admiring herself a little.Then she got down to business: buying a home.A house of my own would make me feel safe!Th
