Chapter 252: I’m Sorry!
"Where was an invisibility cloak when needed?" As Evangeline stood at the door, she wished that the garment would simply appear in her hand, and she could disappear. For almost an hour, she’d been hiding outside Eleanora’s mansion waiting for that snitch to leave so that she could come and talk to her.
And finally, after almost losing all her blood to mosquitoes, when that Lily had left, she’d rushed inside, only to stumble upon this cozy scene. Maybe she could be blessed with a time turning machine... She’d go back a few minutes in time... Before she touched the cursed door.
Flustered she tried to apologize, "I’m sorry. I did not mean to... it was something... just continue, please. I’ll wait.. no I won’t wait. I’ll come by later. Or not. Whatever."
Dam* it! Even her apology sounded like her software had malfunctioned.
Nora giggled at Evangeline’s hurried words, though the girl made no move at all to go. Jumping off Demetri’s lap, Nora spoke up, "Its alright. We were just chatting about the importance of fertilizers. Please come in."
Evangeline felt caught between the desire to escape and the need to ask questions which had brought her here. She glanced at the man behind her before looking to her little sister. At least they did not look too put off by her interruption. Though she was sure that Demetri Frost was plotting her murder right at this moment.
With a last glance in his direction, she said," Uhh. It’s alright. I can go... You guys can continue whatever it was you were doing."
That said, Evangelie continued to stare at Eleanora and Demetri expectantly while the two stared back at her, unsure of what was going on.
Helplessly, Nora exchanged an amused glance with Demetri, wondering what to do in this situation. Her husband, however, had no sympathy for the flustered girl. He raised an eyebrow and spoke nonchalantly," Thank you for your consideration, Princess Evangeline. Would you be watching us? If you are interested in joining us then I would have to refuse though..."
