51 Chapter 2 (1/2)

Daniel continued speaking after he noticed that Evangeline had finally finished with whatever it was that was making her crazy.

”Can't believe you fell for a guy like that.” His tone didn't hold any malice. Instead, it even had a tinge of envy in it.

He glanced towards the window and saw the construction site across the street, yet his eyes weren't searching for anything as it continued to stare absentmindedly.

Evangeline slightly lowered her head and twirled her teacup. ”I'm just lucky. It just happened that I had found Eric sooner.” She didn't deny that she likes him. It was obvious after all.

”Mmm…”

Evangeline peeked at Daniel and found that the guy appeared to be lifeless. Gone was the confident and dignified man. In front of her seemed to be just an ordinary guy. A typical boy that was facing regular problems.

Something thug at her heartstrings and she couldn't help but blurt out.

”Don't worry. You'll find someone like that soon.”

Daniel chuckled and retracted his eyes to face the beautiful woman.

”Like that? You mean a woman who would suit my character?”

He wasn't ignorant after all. He had watched Evangeline and Eric interact with each other and finally knew why she chose him from all the powerful, wealthy men in the world.

It was simple...

Because Eric suited Evangeline's personality the most.

Though most believe that people changed when they were in love, those were just superficial changes. After months or years, they would revert to their original character and conflict began to rise.

However, from the start, Evangeline never hid her personality, only her emotions. From the beginning. She had already acted her usual arrogant, prideful self towards Eric. And the man, for the life of Daniel, didn't know how could stand Evangeline's personality. What's more, he seemed to be completely okay with it!

If ever, Eric was the perfect counter against Evangeline.

He could even make Evangeline Heart wait for him!

For that, Eric would forever have his respect.

He was bitter, true, mostly because the n.o.body had the skill which he didn't have to grabbed someone like Evangeline Heart. But he acknowledges him nevertheless.

Evangeline slightly coughed which pulled Daniel out of his thoughts.

”Correct. Though you act the perfect gentleman and a role model for the male species, you, Daniel, have your distinct character.”

Daniel smiled and asked. ”Like what?”

Evangeline tilted her head proudly as she answered in confidence.

”Like you're actually very prideful and wouldn't want anyone to treat you less than what you deserved. You're a gentleman, but you actually prefer it if the other side was the one who served you instead of you serving her.”

Evangeline sipped her tea and beamed at Daniel.

Daniel slightly shook his head with a calm smile on his face. He didn't retort to what Evangeline had said since it was mostly right.

While Evangeline wasn't finished and added. ”In a way your personality and mine are similar, that is why we often clashed with each other. And of course, you and Sisley aren't compatible too.”

Daniel's eyebrows knitted but it was more of curiosity as he urged. ”How come?”

”Though Sisley appeared kind and lovable and the perfect wife to be, but underneath it, she wanted to be pampered and served like a Princess. You can pamper her with buying her clothes and stuff and the likes, but the serving part… You and I both know that's not going to happen. In a way, her personality and mine are similar. Both of us wanted our man to serve us for life. The receiver rather than the giver. The leader rather than the follower. The master rather than the servant.” Evangeline chortled.

Daniel, once more, didn't refute since he already knew that too. He treated Sisley kindly, better even than most. He had bought her dresses, showered her with pieces of jewelry and his attention. But actually serving her tea and food, or cooking for her, or wiping off her sweat, or cleaning for her, or do things that would hurt his pride and image — those he couldn't do.

In a way, he had another ounce of respect towards Eric.

But he was not Eric. He was he. He was a Prince. A t.i.tle with so many rules and responsibilities attached. A t.i.tle that he couldn't sully nor destroy.

Again the urge to rebel resurface.

Daniel sighed some more as he could only muster a hum in response.

”Mmm….”

Evangeline rolled her eyes for the man was acting depressed.

”Cheer up, Daniel. Who knows, your fiancée might just be the person most suited to you.”

Daniel scoffed and frowned. ”I doubt it.”

With no outlet of his anger and irritation since he couldn't do anything about his family, then he would act rebellious towards this fiancée of his.

Evangeline didn't say anything as the two of them continued to sipped their tea in silence.
