109 Chapter 18 (2/2)

Without her knowing it, her eyes closed. Silence descended across the room. Cleaving the stillness was the rhythmic pounding of their hearts and the raspy sounds of their breaths. The warmth of his breath came closer and closer . . .

Diiinnngggg~!

Their eyes flung open at the same time. Eric's back snapped straight. His head spun in the direction of the entrance door while Evangeline pouted.

”A visitor?” Is it Daniel? Eric turned to open the door but stopped when Evangeline pulled his clothes.

Turning around, he was greeted by Evangeline's lips. Her smooth arms circled his neck as she tiptoed to reach his lips. Her legs trembled, a little unsteady. His arms wrapped around her waist, steadying her, and his wide eyes gradually closed.

Ah . . . life with her is contentment in itself.

The light pressing of their lips slowly turned to something erotic when she opened her mouth, urging him to explore her, which he did. Their tongues met in warm greetings, interlacing with each other smoldered by their saliva. Their groans m.u.f.fled as he led her tongue inside his mouth, sucking it lightly before caressing it at the second sound of the bell. Hesitant, he pulled away after he licked her lips.

”I better . . . get the door . . .” Eric was panting, voice strained. He strode towards the door, being careful that he wouldn't steal another glance at Evangeline's beautiful sultry face while Winter followed behind him tail wagging.

In front of the door, he took a deep breath to calm the heat of his body before he peeked at the spyhole and saw a woman he was not familiar with. Based on her clothes, she was not an employee in the condo.

He answered the intercom, and both of their faces reflected on the screen. Though the woman appeared harmless and naïve, he didn't know her.

”Yes?” he said, gone was the warmth in his voice.

The woman's eyes rounded, surprised showered her face before recognition registered in her eyes. She smiled, showing her crook canines.

”Hi! I'm Lilybella Waltz! Is teach––is Evangeline there?”

”. . .” Eric's brows pulled together. His guard didn't loosen one bit even though he didn't feel any animosity from the woman.

”What are you doing here?”

Evangeline's voice sounded from his back. Turning, he saw her haughty face complete with raising brows, hand resting on her slanted waist, staring directly at the woman who called herself Lilybella Waltz.

”Teacher!” Lilybella claimed in happiness. Her smile grew wider.

Eric's eyes never strained on Evangeline as he asked, ”You know her?”

Evangeline didn't answer and just gave out a single nod.

It was when Eric glanced at Lilybella. His tight face visibly loosened. ”Wait a minute. I'll open the door for you.”

The instant the door opened, Lilybella zoomed pa.s.sed the door towards Eric. Eric took a step back as Lilybella's big shining eyes swept him up and down before she excitedly stared at Evangeline.

Lilybella already knew about Eric since her mother had everyone related to Daniel be investigated. Eric, in the picture, was nerdy and nothing like the handsome man in front of her, but they were vaguely similar nonetheless. Thus she still needed to ask, not minding the big furry beast who was sniffing her.

”Teacher! Is this Eric?! The man you like? The reason why you were so depressed and ran away from Burberry? The reason why you wanted to climb Evermountain to go soul searching to forget him? His Highness said that he went here just to see you. How romantic!”

”. . .”

”. . .”

Caught by the sudden surprised attack by Lilybella, Evangeline couldn't react. Lilybella was talking her most embarra.s.sing moment so nonchalantly with an innocent face! How evil!

”W-w-what are you talking about?!” Evangeline stammered. ”I wasn't depressed! No one can make me depressed! I told you, 'depressed' is not in my dictionary! And me climbing Evermountain was purely to connect with nature! Understand?!” She defended herself as her hands exaggeratedly gesturing here and there. Embarra.s.sment, so hot, spread all over her body, eyes avoiding Eric's gaze.

Lilybella blinked once, finger pointed at her chin. ”Oh? I thought that was the reason.” She then clasped her hands near her chest. ”As expected of teacher! How silly of me to a.s.sume something like a man can make you depressed! Besides being strong and independent, teacher is an amazing person who loves nature! You really are the epitome of us women! Lilybella is really glad to learn under you, teacher!”

”. . .”

”. . .”

Evangeline awkwardly cleared her throat. ”Enough of that. What are you doing here?”

Lilybella giggled like a little girl before she answered.

”Let's go to the amus.e.m.e.nt park!”
