Angeline’s team aside, no one else doubted Evander’s credentials, so everyone proceeded to get on the open-air gondolas parked at the hostel entrance.

Since Evander chose to sit with Angeline’s team, the vehicle felt more crowded than usual.

As the gondolas moved into the dense forest, a cool breeze brushed against everyone’s cheeks, putting everyone in a relaxed mood.

Seeing no one was shooting in their gondola, Evander glared at Angeline with Floretta in her embrace and questioned, “So, are you really not explaining anything? You talk a lot usually, don’t you?”

Angeline felt nervous at his interrogation.

“I thought I shouldn’t leave Floretta alone at the airport. Besides, I did send you a text before that,” she replied softly.

“What about you?”

Evander glowered at Floretta, who gradually showed her face from Angeline’s lap like a duckling.

“Daddy, I asked for your permission before as well. You promised you would bring me out on Labor Day,” she answered, smiling sheepishly.

Evander was left speechless at her reply because he knew he had fallen for her trap for his own carelessness.

Despite being just five years old, his daughter was clever and scheming.

Jacob pouted in dissatisfaction when he saw how frightened Angeline and Floretta were. “Just so you know, we’re at Summerbank now. This is not your turf anymore, so stop scaring them like that.”

Evander’s face gloomed the moment Jacob spoke, making the ambiance in the car tense and cold suddenly.

“I can always make them leave. You know that, right?”

“You…” Jacob gazed up and met Evander’s eyes.

Feeling the deterrence from Evander’s glare, which sent a chill down his spine, Jacob did not utter the rest of his sentence.
