Chapter 76

Evelyn and Claire sat comfortably in the living room, watching Samantha as she played with her toys on the floor, and Claire couldn’t help but remind Evelyn about some of her childhood antics

Evelyn found herself laughing at those memories, allowing herself to derive joy from her childhood without thinking of Sandra since Claire made sure to talk about the memories involving just Evelyn,

Maya and Samantha also joined in the laughter as Samantha asked more questions about Evelyn’s childhood.

As their laughter died down, Evelyn’s phone rang on the dining table and she excused herself to go receive the call.

A wide smile spread across her face when she picked up her phone and saw the caller ID. It was Liam.

“I need to take this, Mom, Evelyn said, still smiling as she walked into her bedroom to receive the call

“Hello. Doel” she greeted cheerfully.

“Hello, Editor–In–Chief, Lism greeted, and Evelyn gizzled.

“Not yet. It’s still unofficial, Evelyn said, happy to hear from him

“Well, I trust you, I’m sure you’re going to get it. How are you doing?” he asked cheerfully.

“I’m fine. How are you? How have you been!” Evelyn asked, feeling a tug of guilt because she had not called him since she moved to Ludus

“I’m alright. How is my little plum doing?” He asked, and Evelyn grinned.

“She’s fine. She misses you..”

“What about your Do you miss me too!” Liam cut in

“Of course, I do,” Evelyn said with a small laugh.

“Does that mean you won’t mind letting me see your face?” he asked and Evelyn grinned
