Just then, Ella came running, gasping for breath, and placed the precious phone in her hand. Then, she quickly ascended the stairs, looking as if she had accomplished her mission and was leaving
Evelyn couldn’t help but chuckle as she watched her walking away. After exchanging contact information with Gabriel, she waved at him.
“Senior, it’s getting late. I’m going up first, you should go back soon too!”
Gabriel nodded, and Evelyn finally walked upstairs. However, as soon as she reached the corner of the stairs, she saw three people sneaking and peeping

The phone on the side kept lighting up and then turning off, until he got annoyed by the continuous ringing. He reached out to grab the phone, but due to blurred vision, he was already seeing double. He tried a few times but couldn’t manage to grab it.

So they made a pact to
During those two years, even though they didn’t live together, they still kept in touch frequently, just like ordinary friends, without any age difference or the identity of uncle and nephew.
She was bullied, and although he couldn’t be there in person, he would still arrange for someone to handle the trouble and protect her.
Until Evelyn’s 18th birthday, she confessed her feelings to him once again.
“Ethan, I understood, but I wasn’t afraid of those things, I still liked you, liked you a lot. Shall we be together, okay?”

This time, he did not refuse.
They faced rumors together and walked hand in hand towards their future.
It was so beautiful, so… unrealistic
He saw her putting on a wedding dress, with a face full of happiness and a joyful expression, running towards him.
She said, “Ethan, I finally married you.”
