Chapter 259

All Evander wanted was for Angeline to be safe, and he was happy to keep watch over her from the shadows.

That doesn't mean I can sit on my hands while she's looking so upset!

As that thought crossed his mind, he knelt to meet Angeline's gaze and grasped her shoulders.

“They said you haven't eaten in a long time. Let me feed you some oatmeal.”

Angeline looked up as he spoke, revealing a pair of bloodshot eyes.

Evander's heart clenched with pain.

He lifted a small bowl and stirred the hot oatmeal it held, blowing on the surface to cool it down. Then, he brought the bowl closer to Angeline's face and said gently. “Open your mouth.”

Angeline stared silently at him. A second later, every negative emotion in her heart exploded.

She reached out and slapped the spoon out of his hand.

“Enough!”

She continued to yell hoarsely, “Just how long are you planning on keeping up tliis act, Evander? Did you really think I wouldn't find out about your engagement to Olivine?”

The ceramic spoon shattered into pieces, no different from the state of their relationship.

Evander appeared somber as he placed the bowl on a nearby table. “You can have some oatmeal once it's cooler.”

Angeline continued staring at him and demanded. “Stop skirting the question! Answer me!”

“What you've read is the truth. I won't deny it.”

He seemed mentally prepared for her interrogation and fielded her question steadily.
