Chapter 143: Murderer
Ronan’s brows shot up in surprise before his jaw tightened in frustration. Turning to Evelyn, he grumbled, "What is he doing here?"
"Well, I heard from my wife that you have been missing me so much," Zevian replied instead, worsening Ronan’s mood. "So, I came to see you."
Ronan had been telling Evelyn how peaceful it was not having her husband swarming around like a flea, and she must have told him! But it was Rita who had conveyed his comments to her boss, worried Ronan might be a threat in the future. She had sworn loyalty to Zevian and made sure to report even the tiniest details.
Evelyn pressed her lips together to hold back her laughter. Ronan’s expression had funnily changed, fuming at her husband’s comment. But unlike her, Rita couldn’t and snorted out loud. The AWE staff, who had encountered Ronan at the entrance and tried to stop him, also muffled their laughs, finding the battle between the two men amusing.
Evelyn decided to save the poor man. She tried to free herself from Zevian’s grip to talk with Ronan, but it only tightened, causing her to look up at him in surprise. Zevian looked at her, his dark gaze conveying that he wouldn’t let her go. Evelyn gave up. Clearing her throat, she asked with a small smile, "What brings you here this early, Ronan?"
"I heard you gave them a leave. Grandpa asked me to get you for breakfast," Ronan replied to her. Glancing at Zevian, he added, "He wants you to spend the day with him."
"Tch," Zevian clicked his tongue even before Evelyn could reply. Shaking his head apologetically, he continued, "But we already made plans for today."
Evelyn looked at her husband and blinked in surprise. When did they ever make plans? In fact, when did he even give her the time to chat with him last night?
"But fret not, we will visit him for dinner," Zevian continued with a smile, leaving no room for negotiation. Looking at Evelyn, he asked, "Right, Eva?"
Evelyn slightly glared at him before nodding in response. He was possessive as hell, and though it was cute to watch, they couldn’t offend that old man. Turning to Ronan, she smiled, "We will join you guys for dinner."
Ronan gritted his teeth, his fists clenched tightly. He had plans to take Evelyn out alone to talk more about Annabelle. The last couple of days had been quite busy for her, and he didn’t want to burden her. Today seemed like the perfect opportunity as he was eager to know more about his step-sister, but it was beautifully ruined by this bastard husband!
