Chapter 2
Evelyn’s thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door being pushed open, and she turned around to see Ethan coming home.
His expression remained as cold as usual, and he remained silent when he saw her. However, when he walked up to her, something seemed to have crossed his mind, and he suddenly paused and asked a questio
“Today is the deadline for volunteer registration, have you completed your volunteer registration?”
Evelyn nodded obediently and replied, “It’s filled out, Uncle.”
Upon hearing her calling, Ethan suddenly froze. It was the first time she called him “uncle” again since his heart was broken at the age of sixteen.
Today she was also well–behaved, she didn’t come up to him when he pushed the door open, but instead sat properly on the sofa, maintaining the appropriate distance.
A strange feeling crossed his mind, and he keenly noticed her change. Subconsciously, he felt that this change was good.
That was the right way.
He suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, averted his gaze, and then asked, “Did you fill in Cyndale Institute of Technology?” Even though they have reached such a point of turmoil now, their relationship can never go back to what it
It used to be
The fact that Cyndale Institute of Technology was chosen is something that both of them agreed upon.
Cyndale Institute of Technology was one of the top universities in the country, and most importantly, it was right here in our city.
A long time ago, Ethan had already bought a house near Cyndale Institute of Technology, preparing to move there with Evelyn once she got accepted into Cyndale Institute of Technology.
Even though he already had a fiancée now, this thought had never changed.
He never thought that Evelyn would leave him.
Evelyn heard the certainty in his words and a hint of unease crossed her expression. After a long pause, she lowered her head and answered, “Yes,” Ethan was not surprised at all by this answer. He nodded and then walked towards the study. Before leaving, he didn’t forget to remind her.
“Before the start of the school, if you need anything, just go directly to my assistant, and he will help you resolve it.”
“Uncle, actually…”
Evelyn hesitated for a moment, just about to gather the courage to say something, when his phone suddenly rang.
Be took our his phone and glanced at the name on the screen, and in an instant, his expression softened.
“Sophia, what’s the matter?
The tone was a tenderness that Evelyn hadn’t heard in a long time. She watched as a hint of indulgent smile appeared on his face. He hurriedly walked
to the study, no longer paying attention to what she had just wanted to say.
After a while, she finally lowered her bead in disappointinent and completely swallowed the words she was about to say.
Actually, I didn’t apply to Cyndale Institute of Technology. I applied to Halewick University, which is the farthest university from this city. Actually, I was
Uncle, after I left, you were to be happy forever
She glanced at the time on her phone and saw that there were sixty days left until
il the start of school,
Evelyn opened the countdown app and set a sixty day countdown for her departure.
As she watched the countdown on her phone decreasing with each passing second, she suddenly smiled.
“Uncle, after sixty days, you would have completely gotten rid ul me.”
Aber saying that, she put away her phone and then went back to her rOONL
That night, Evelyn did not sleep well and woke up late.
She finished washing up and walked downstairs to the dining room, but she paused for a moment when she saw Ethan sitting in the main seat, flipping througli a newsuper.
If it were a normal day, Etisan would have already finished breakfast and left for work by now.
She intentionally woke up late to avoid Ethan, but to her surprise, he had been waiting here all along.
Seeing her finally coming downstairs, Ethan furrowed his brow and said, “Even during holidays, don’t let your routine get disrupted.”
Evelyn did not argue and obediently nodded. He chose a seat further away from him and then spoke again, “The assistant will come later and take you to buy the things you need for school.”
Evelyn continued to just nod obediently, her unusual compliance, without saying a word, caught Ethan’s attention.
He noticed something was wrong with her and was about to speak, but Evelyn asked first, “Uncle, why haven’t you gone to the office today? Are you going on a date with Sophia?”
Upon hearing her question, Ethan, who had just been calm and relaxed, immediately changed his expression and his voice unconsciously turned cold. “This was not something you should have worried about.”
His sudden cold tone caught Evelyn off guard, but in an instant, she realized and understood that he had misunderstood the intention behind her question.
But now she only regarded him as a younger brother, that sentence was just a simple question, with no other intentions.
Evelyn was about to
to speak up to explain, but Sophia walked in and pushed the door open at that moment.
“What were you talking about?”
She smiled gently and gracefully. It was said that when she heard Evelyn needed to buy things for the new school year, she even volunteered to take Evelyn with her, as if she was truly a caring elder for the younger generation,
Ethan frowned, seemingly wanting to refuse, and Evelyn shook her head upon seeing this, about to say it’s not necessary. However, Sophia had already started to act coquettishly towards Ethan.
“Ethan, we got engaged, I am Evie’s aunt now, let me do my best for her.”
Ethan seemed unable to bear this kind of coquetry, and after listening, he simply ignored Evelyn’s opinion and helplessly looked at Sophia, “Alright, then let’s go together.”
