Chapter 335 Deadlier!(Chapter Preview)

"No one really loves you there Evangeline! You are just being used!" as if all her fears come true! The words were the mirror she was declining to see! For a long time she was not even able to react as the parchment in her hands crumpled.

"I must say these kids are too mischievous! That is why I want a little girl who would be more obedient!" Leo shook his head as he finally took a breath of relief! There was no man with a cloak in the vicinity.

It could be just a confusion and he was worried for nought. But when he looked at her ashen face that was filled with sweat, the speed of his steps increased and fear started to crawl in his heart!

"Evan! Are you okay?" he shook the girl who did not even notice his presence and finally Evan jerked from her thoughts!

Her hands instinctively crumpled the paper in her hands and threw it away. She did not know why, but she did not want Leo to see that paper.

She was worried that he would be hurt!

"Hmm, I think I am hungry!"

"......." he stared hard at the girl party with confusion and partly with relief! Taking a deep breath, he shook his head! Why was he thinking so much!?

They were here to enjoy a date yet here he was!

"Of course, how could I forget that my lady! I have seen a long line of stalls that sell a variety of snacks, you would surely like them!" holding her hands in his tightly, he took her away!

Though he tried to calm his heartbeat, it continued to stir further as if a beast was clawing his heart while Evan was no better!

She felt a surge of guilt filling her heart and so did other thoughts! No! She had felt love in the eyes of Leo and care in the eyes of Duke! He had treated her better than her father! It could not be true! It could not be!

Taking a deep breath, she decided not to let those thoughts take place in her heart and enjoy the view!

Her eyes fell on the shop selling scarfs and she halted. The man who was still lost in his thoughts took a step further only to be pulled back by her.

When Leo turned to look at Evan, she glared hard at the man with her cheeks puffed up.

"Leo, you are a liar! You have still not given me the rewards you have promised! If you would not give them now, I would tell the duke how you have asked me to act like a wicked woman and then you even asked me to swat away the flies roaming around you!"

"........" she still wanted the rewards! He looked at the girl glaring at him with a frown on his face! Did she not know his net worth and the treasure the duchess of the family holds?

"Evan, you are going to be the duchess in three days. You will have access to the whole treasure! If you do not know, we have more wealth than the royal family!" 'so, could you please stop glaring at me for a few coins!!!!!' though he did not complete the sentence, she could read in his eyes.

But instead of being assured, she only glared at the man further!

Did he think she would use his money to buy a gift for him! Wouldn't it mean that he had bought it for himself!

"That I did not know! If you want to continue our date, you have to pay me half of my reward right now!" she crossed her hands over her chest and refused to budge from there leaving the man helpless!

For the first time, Leo had decided to enjoy the fair like a common man in the uniform of staff. He had only brought a few silver coins with plenty of bronze coins with him! How in the world was he going to pay her reward to her in the middle of nowhere!

"Evan!" he ran a hand in his hair as he tried to scare her with dark eyes but she scoffed instead!

"Now that I am going to marry you, these looks would not work on me! Have you not heard the rule that a woman is the one who decides everything! Or else why duchess have given all the rights of the duchy?"

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

"........" he really has no words to retort and even if he tried, he did not have the heart to be cold to her!

The frozen king had already turned into a melting ice cream in front of the girl!

"Evan! How about I pay you when we reach the place! I do not have much money now!" The last words came out barely above a whisper as he felt embarrassed to accept that he did not have enough money to tend to her wishes!

Never in his life had he thought that it would've happened with him one day!

"......." Evan blinked as she stared at the red ears of the man who was not even looking at her but on the ground! Why had she not realized that he was so adorable!

Awww how cute! She felt like her heart had been melting just by looking at his cute and adorable eyes! This Leo was deadlier than the sexy one who only made her nosebleed!

But what to do, she still wanted to buy the scarf for him!

"Umm, then how about giving me a few silver coins as a promise that you would pay rest later" just as his eyes lightened with relief she showed him one finger.

"But I have a condition. You will bring the tastiest snacks for me 5 minutes before I wait for you!"

"Evan, I can not leave you alone in a crowd!" the words came cold and hard as if it did not have a place for negotiation when she added,

"Then you have to close your eyes and follow me wherever I take you!"
