When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 187

Evelina hastily pocketed her phone, "Just some feeds that popped up. Nobody sent it to me."

The last thing she needed was the Langstons catching wind of it.

After all, it was only because she was left an orphan that the Langstons had taken her in. Moreover, as for that her father might still be alive, something must be amiss behind the matter. Evelina had a sinking feeling about it all.

Evelina quickly changed the subject, "Why are you back so soon? Is Lucian feeling any better?"

"Yeah, he's on the mend."

Alaric finally withdrew his hand, "I heard you on the live stream earlier, saying Lucian got sick. What did Lemira say about it?"

Evelina sighed, "She seemed even more upset, blamed me for airing it out in front of everyone."

That was exactly what Evelina had intended. By publicly shaming Lemira, she hoped to drive her away for good.

"Don't beat yourself up over it. Lemira's changed."

Alaric glanced around the bedroom, hesitating before he spoke again, "Eve, your old room was kinda cramped, so I was thinking of redoing the guest room for you. But this bedroom, maybe we should give it back to Lemira. What do you think?" Evelina's face froze. She hadn't expected Alaric came to talk about this.
