Chapter 199 - 27 (2/2)

”Eve . . .”

As Eric gathered his thoughts, Evangeline ran to her pursed and grabbed some papers before she rushed to Eric again. She then plastered the documents right in front of his face.

”This is a marriage application. All we have to do is sign the papers and poof. We're married!”

”. . .” Eric stifled a laugh as he shook his head. ”Let's calm down for a moment.”

He led Evangeline to sit on the bed while he kneeled on the floor. ”I'm a bit upset that you beat me to it but . . . I think we're on the same page.”

He pulled a box in his pocket and stared into her eyes. ”Evangeline Heart, will you marry me?”

”. . .”

Evangeline covered her mouth when sobs broke free from the lump in her throat. She jumped into Eric's arms and hugged him tightly. ”Yes! Yes, I will!”

Rubbing her back to calm her down, Eric smiled.

”You know about me?” he asked after a moment.

Evangeline pulled away a little and cupped Eric's face. ”Don't underestimate me. Even though I got expelled, I'm still a genius. Of course, I had it all figured out.”

She wouldn't say that it was all because of Alvaro's help.

”Why didn't you tell me that you're a Frizkiel?”

Eric closed his eyes for a moment. A smile never left his face. Instead of answering, he showed the side of his ear that was covered with his hair. ”There is a chip embedded into our brains. If we tell anything about the Frizkiel, it will send a signal to the main family, and I'll be disqualified.”

Evangeline thought for a moment. ”So it's fine as long as I'm the one who figures it out?”

Eric nodded. ”As long as I don't explain about the Frizkiel to you and about myself, it's all good.”

Then Eric's face became serious. ”I hope that . . . this information wouldn't change anything between us.”

Evangeline blinked before she smirked. ”What part of I am the Queen do you not understand, Eric? I don't care if you own an entire country, nor your riches were vast as the oceans. There can only be one Queen for you. And that is me.”

”. . .” Eric laughed and kissed Evangeline on the lips. ”Yes, my Queen.”

He then kissed her again before he pulled away a little. Looking into her eyes for a moment, he licked her lips before he captured them with his, kissing her deeper and deeper.

”I miss you,” Eric murmured.

”I miss you more,” Evangeline whispered back as her hands circled his neck, pulling him on top of her, and they both fell onto the bed.
