When Nicole stepped into the living room, she immediately saw Evan on the coffee-colored couch. He was observing her with his usual icy-cold gaze…

She had to remind herself that she was there to help his mother before she could finally calm down a little. She then clenched her fists tightly, straightened her back, and walked towards him as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
