Chapter 59: SysDi 59: Accepting the Proposal 2
One moment, Evan and Spire are having a conversation inside Evan’s childhood home. The next moment, they are inside a car driving towards the main city.
Evan’s things are all packed inside one small backpack that he owns. It was all put in their haphazardly because this wasn’t the original plan.
First of all, the original plan was that he would continue moving to the stone hill cave when he has the time. He was supposed to be meditating right now, catch up on the few that he had missed. Maybe have a rest day while he catch up on reading too.
If he didn’t accept, he lose the opportunity of a lifetime. Plenty of kids like him would love to get adopted into a noble family as servants, because at least they will get fed and their families too.
He should be happy, really, he should be.
The other part of him was thinking that he shouldn’t have accepted. There are still things that he could have done while he is back. Their garden, the house. He should still be there until they got back. But that wasn’t the case.
Evan had no choice but to go through with what Spire wanted. She came specifically to wait for his reply and bring him back with her if he has agreed. He is to be bodyguard, even if they believe he doesn’t have the ability to do so. He has no idea what ability he could use to be like a bodyguard for Spire. The ones he has is too... dangerous or just for utility, oh and healing.
"Are you normally this quiet?" Spire asked beside him.
Evan opens one eyes for a moment to peak at what Spire is doing. He ends up with both eyes open because her face is so close to his. He leans back to keep some distance between them. "I was meditating. Do you need something?"
Spire raised her eyebrow. As she did that, one of her fox-like ear rises up with it. Then, she moved back to her position but her gaze never left him. "Meditating? You can meditate in a car?"
