The Billionaire's Unexpected Proposal by Samantha

Chapter 164

After hanging up her call with Derek, Evelyn felt a flood of relief and anticipation as she rushed to open the door. The moment Rayna walked in and shut the door behind her, Evelyn threw her arms around her in a warm, tight hug. "Thanks for coming," she said, her voice full of gratitude.

Rayna tilted her head back, raising an eyebrow with a playful smile. "What's with all the excitement, Evie? We just saw each other yesterday. Why are you acting like we haven't seen in years?"

Evelyn let out an embarrassed laugh, brushing a stray hair behind her ear. "Well, I've been anxious all morning, and I barely slept last night. I'm just happy to see you. Your presence would keep me distracted," she said, and Rayna raised a brow.. Raynas playful smile softened into a look of concern. "Distracted from what, exactly? What's going on? Is it something with Sandra? Did she attempt something?" she asked, her voice growing serious.

Evelyn took a deep breath, glancing around. "Yes, actually. But come in, let's sit down; this isn't something we can discuss while standing by the door," she said, leading Rayna into the cozy living room.

As they settled onto the couch, Rayna looked around, frowning slightly. "The house is so quiet. Where is everyone? Is Derek out with Sam?"

Evelyn shook her head, gesturing toward the staircase. "Sam is upstairs keeping busy with her drawing. Maya stepped out for a bit."

Rayna opened her handbag, pulled out a packet of cookies, and handed it to Evelyn. "This is for Sam."

Evelyn smiled, shaking her head. "You spoil her too much with these sweet treats. I swear she has had more sugar since she met you than she has all her life."
