Chapter 213: It’s Entirely Your Fault
Evelyn kept looking at the watch, anxiously tapping her fingers on the table. It was close to 7 PM, and they would be starting soon.
"Alright," Zevian said as he ended the call with Avery, who had stayed back with the kids.
Rosalind and Penelope were bringing Gracia soon. Even Theodore had made time to come along with Jonathan to support them, but she still couldn’t help but feel anxious. She had been waiting for this moment for as long as she could remember, and now that it was here, she couldn’t keep calm.
Zevian walked back to her and stood in front of her chair. "They will be here soon. Damien is bringing them," he informed, and Evelyn nodded in response.
Zevian leaned forward and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. Caressing her cheek, he assured, "Stop worrying about it."
Evelyn sighed in response. She moved closer and hugged him, wrapping her arms around his waist. Zevian patted her head, his touch gentle and soothing. They stayed for a moment before hearing the press buzz outside the hall.
Zevian broke the hug. Bending down, he kissed her forehead and murmured, "I will go check with Lucius."
Evelyn nodded with a smile, feeling a bit more at ease, and watched as Zevian walked down the stage, heading to the control room.
A few minutes later, all the press settled in, and Gracia had also arrived with Damien. They all settled on the stage. While Gracia sat in the middle, Theodore and Jonathan sat on their left, and Evelyn and Zevian took chairs to their right. Damien, along with Rosalind and Penelope, stayed down the stage. Elias had insisted on coming with them, but Damien forced him to stay behind, knowing it was a terrible idea.
"Firstly, I would like to thank you all for waiting patiently all these days," Theodore took charge and continued, "Ever since that birthday night, many have been speculating and making theories about Gracia’s comeback. And tonight, everything will be answered by her."
He turned to Gracia beside him. Evelyn held Gracia’s hand below the table and smiled at her. Gracia nodded and took a deep breath. Looking at the reporters settled with their laptops, she started, "Thank you for being here at such short notice."
