Upon coming in, the man locked the window, thinking Angeline was too careless to leave it open.

Then, he made his way to the bed gingerly to pull the blanket over Floretta and close the book Angeline left open on her waist.

For a long time, he stared at Angeline’s features until his cold gaze turned complicated.

To him, there were times when Angeline was like a prickly cat that, although detestable, had a certain charm that never failed to captivate him.

Evander lowered his head, locking his gaze on her lips. His Adam’s apple bobbed subconsciously as a gush of heat rushed through his body as he looked at her irresistibly fair and exquisite collarbones exposed under the blanket.

His eyes darkened, and he leaned down toward her but recalling how Angeline had slapped him in the car last time, Evander subdued the burning urge within his body.

Evander felt his heart was a mess. His deep and quiet gaze showed that he had never experienced something like that before, yet he knew deep down that he had fallen for her.

It was then that he realized that her attraction toward him was way stronger than his suspicion toward her.

It’s okay. There is still a long way to go. Thinking, he took another intent look at the sleeping woman, and his eyes became gentle.

Then, he got up from the bed and left.

Over at the corridor, Jacob had just opened his door and was walking toward the living room with his tired eyes half-opened.

He had gotten up to look for food, for he had barely had anything during dinner since he was busy keeping Floretta entertained.

Yawning and stretching, he walked down the dimly-lit corridor, but as he looked up, he caught a glimpse of Evander not far away.

Wait. Did he just come out of Angeline’s room? Is he here in Summerbank?

Jacob was instantly shaken awake. He blinked his eyes hard, but silence had resumed in the corridor, and Evander was already nowhere to be seen.

“This is weird,” he mumbled, darting his confused gaze down the corridor. Am I seeing things because I’m not fully awake?
