Chapter 180: Pinky Promise
"What?" Lucius on the call frowned in confusion. His team quickly skimmed through the spots nearby and realized it was indeed a meter away from the old Wright Mansion. They were overjoyed with the location that they missed such an important detail.
Evelyn blankly stared at the blue dot on the map, her heart thudding loud. If she recalled correctly, the location seemed to be right in the garden, where her mother was buried decades ago. And also were Annabelle was laid right beside Gracia. What did it mean? Only negative thoughts filled her mind, making her feel dizzy.
"Look into it," Zevian asked to Lucius. Ending the call that was on speaker, he closed the laptop and wrapped a hand around Evelyn.
Evelyn looked at him, her eyes filled with a mix of dread and hope. "She is gonna be fine, right?" she asked, her voice barely above whisper.
Zevian pulled her into a hug in response. Kissing her forehead, he replied, "No one will be able to even touch her. I promise."
Evelyn heaved a small sigh, nodding in response. She snuggled closer in her embrace, letting his warmth wash away all her worries. With him right beside her, there was no necessity to simply worry about her mother. Gracia would be safe and they will together make sure of it.
Zevian gently caresses through her hair, letting her calm down and broke the hug a few moments later. Tucking her hair behind her ear, he asked with a smirk, "So, how are you gonna make up for it?"
Evelyn smiled in response, pressing her lips to hold back a chuckle. Making a poker face, she innocently replied, "For what?"
Zevian’s smile vanished at her play, his brows creased in disappointment. Evelyn laughed out at his reaction. Cupping his face, she captured his lips in a small kiss.
"I will take you on a date tonight. How does that sound, Mr. Reign?" she asked, her eyes glinting with excitement.
"Fine for now." Zevian replied, curtly nodding. Something was better than nothing right?
