Chapter 57: Exchanging Drinks
"When did I even agree to this?" Evelyn grumbled, her eyes narrowing at the message Annabelle had just sent.
[Evy!! I arranged a hotel for the weekend! Let’s have dinner and spend some great time together *heart emoji*]
[I’m so excited for our date! I hope we can put all our past clashes behind us and start fresh! We’ll both be waiting for you *Pleading face* *heart emoji*]
"The audacity to still act innocent!" Evelyn muttered, pressing her temples in frustration. She had already made it clear that she knew Annabelle’s true identity, yet this woman continued to pretend otherwise.
Zevian, noticing her irritation, asked, "What’s wrong?"
Evelyn huffed and showed him the texts. "I don’t even understand why she’s so eager for us to meet."
Zevian sighed, contemplating whether now was the right time to reveal the full truth about her burial incident. He had previously only told her that they were still investigating, not wanting to burden her with more worries. But Evelyn hated it when he hid things from her, and he decided to not repeat his past mistakes that could frustrate her even more in the future.

Evelyn frowned, her confusion deepening as she looked at him. Zevian sat up on the bed, motioning for her to follow. "Come with me."

Evelyn’s heart raced in anticipation. "What’s it?"
