Novie adjusted the tie on Ken's suit while the man was busy scrolling on his phone. She keeps on reminding him to have more patience with Daniella but, the man was not listening to her.

When she finished binding the tie, she found him smiling on the phone like crazy, her nose crinkled in annoyance and pulled his tie in full force. Ken grunted and stared at her in surprise.

”What?” Ken spoke in shock with one hand adjusting his tie.

Novie narrowed her eyes and, rested both hands on her hips.

”Did you heard what I just said?” she asked in uncertainty.

The man in front gulped repeatedly and hesitated whether to answer or not.

Seeing him crawling in the dark, she exhaled and took the phone from his hand and tossed it to the bed.

”Ken. I know you are going on a dinner with Daniella. Can you please be more gentle to her?” she pleaded in a sweet voice. Since they got back together, whenever she sees Ken with Daniella, they always talked with sarcasm which she finds unusual.

Ken nodded like an obedient child and reach to her hand. He held her hand and dragged her out of the room.

Even with the chaos that is happening in the school, Daniella agreed to have dinner with Ken. At first, Alexa and Evan urged to come but, after getting a glare from Daniella, the two shut up.

As they walked along the hallway, they met Daniella and Evan. Novie gulped when she saw Daniella in her purple A-line dress and heels.

She knows she should not be jealous because they are sister and brothers but, she could not help but imagine the people they will meet will probably think of them as a couple.

She shook her head to remove the absurd thought rising in her head and plastered a smile.

Danny left with Mark to help him fix the issue with the school while Saina went to her work to ask for more vacation.

She will fly to their province tomorrow to see her parents and this is the last night she will be with Ken.She will come back after four days and they will fly to Siberia. She's excited but, she heard it's a cold country and she doesn't do well in cold places.

When they reached the married couple, Ken let her hand go and stood next to Daniella.

”Are you not going to bring a jacket or anything to cover your skin?” Ken asked his sister.

”Nope” Daniella replied and turned to her direction with a faint smile on her lips.

”Novie, we will be quick. If you need anything call your boyfriend, not me” Daniella jokingly said.

”Ok” she replied with a smile and bid Ken a goodbye. As the two walked out of the house, they kept on arguing who will drive.

When the door closed, Novie cleared her throat and looked at Evan secretly. To all the people in this house, Evan is the last person she wants to be with. The man was excessively cold, the soft expression he had earlier disappeared as soon as Daniella's figure left the house.

”Let's go,” Evan suddenly spoke which made her eyebrow to creased in confusion, wondering if he's talking to someone.

She looked at her side and found no one. ”Me?” she asked with one finger pointing at herself.

Evan looked at her emotionless and nodded, ”I am going to follow them. Do you want to come?” he asked again in a robot tone.

Novie gulped and hesitated, she doesn't want to be around his coldness but, she also doesn't want to be rude.

”Ok,” before she could think of an excuse, her lips parted to agree.

(Damn it Novie!) she cursed at herself.

When Evan started walking away, Novie tried to catch up with him but, the man's legs were too long that she finds it hard to walk with him.

She was astounded when Evan opened the passenger door for her, she gave him a faint smile as an appreciation and got in.

As they drive, Evan kept on staring at his phone. When she looked at it. She found it to be the GPS for Daniella's location.

The creased in her brows went deeper when she saw the tracking stopped at the restaurant near Ken's office. When they reached the location, Evan opened the car door for her and they went inside the restaurant.

Even though they just had their dinner, the smell of the grilled meat made her mouth moist. She gulped repeatedly and looked at Evan.

They occupied the table behind the big vase with a small tree inside, they could see Ken and Daniella but, she doubts the two can see them.

”What are we doing here?” she asked in curiosity. She has been wondering that and God knows how many times she tried to ask him that question in the car but, the moment she parted her lips, her mind went blank.

Evan's aura was making her skin to shiver and she doesn't know why but, she's afraid of him.

”Mark is with Danny so no one is going to look after Daniella today. I hope you don't mind that I brought you here. I don't want to sit and eat alone.” Novie gave him a faint smile but, inside she was counting the words he uttered.

When the waiter came, the man switched his eyes between Evan and Novie and later to Daniella.

”Whatever you see here, don't tell my wife” Evan suddenly spoke and handed a bill to the waiter. The man shook his head and smiled.
