Chapter 16 16: It's not Tiffany

By the time Eveline returned home, she had been feeling a lot better. However, the moment she walked inside the house, Jonathan's voice startled her out of her trance.

"Eve, my child? What happened to you?" Jonathan rushed to her and embraced her fragile body.

The moment he learned about Eveline through Belle, he had been patiently waiting for her arrival.

Jonathan was puzzled as to why it was taking Eveline so long to get home, but he was relieved as soon as he heard the car pull up to the mansion's gates.

"Are you still feeling the pain? Do you want to call our family doctor?" Jonathan inquired as he keenly observed Eveline's appearance.

She indeed looked tired and her eyes were red as if she had been crying the entire time.

"Please tell Dad," Eveline smiled, feeling a wave of satisfaction wash over her frail heart as she realized how concerned Jonathan was for her.

'What if the one you loved never cared for you? There are still a lot of people who genuinely love and appreciate you. Eveline, you have your father.' Her unconscious thoughts spoke and she broadened her smile.

"I just need some rest, Dad; I am fine." Evelien attempted to convince Jonathan, but he did not seem to be persuaded by her words because they did not match her appearance.

"Are you sure? You are aware that we can speak," he inquired.
