Chapter 237

Meanwhile, Evadne was leisurely lounging in the sun on a swing chair in the backyard of the Silverlake Harbor home.

This particular swing was rarely occupied by anyone else because it was specially built by her father for her mother. She would often be found there, barefoot and carefree like a young maiden, swinging in the breeze or lounging lazily in the afternoon sun.

Her father would either push her mother on the swing or sit by her side in silence, the two of them nested together, watching the world go by.

After her mother passed away, her father, Emeric, would have the swing cleaned every day, as if expecting her mother to return at any moment

“Miss Evadne, Ada has declared her allegiance to our side and has expressed a desire to host a dinner for you as an apology,” Jason, pushing the swing gently, informed Evadne.

“Well, it’s a great chance for you to practice your Spanish,” Evadne responded, biting into an apple with a crunch.

“Always joking.” Jason chuckled, his gaze drifting towards her lips, which were even more enticing than the apple she was eating.

“If it were in the past, I might have accepted her invitation, disregarding my real feelings,” Evadne mused, chewing her apple. “But now, as her idol, I can’t accept it so easily.

The miracle can only appear once, otherwise it is not worth much.”

“Indeed. Ada treated you so rudely before, so you should give her a real lesson and let her understand that she has to pay a big price for offending you.”

“Not really. It’s just that I’m a little tired recently and I’m too lazy to socialize.”

Evadne yawned. “Also, we did the collaboration before.”

No matter how one looked at it, Ada’s previous act of not showing mercy to Evadne was still shooting herself in the foot.

The phone rang. It was an unknown number. She hesitated but picked up anyway.
