Chapter 357 [Bonus Chapter] The One Who Started It!(Chapter Preview)

"No you are not! I will handle it! But Evan.. i.. I want to talk about an urgent matter with you!" the look of hesitation was so clear in his eyes as if he did not want to talk about it at all!

Her nerves tightened when she thought that the matter which had kept him so stressed last night!

"Is it about last night?" he nodded his head and held her hands as he dragged her back to the bed!

"Evan when we were returning from the fair and you slept in the carriage, I met an old man and.. And he told me that.." Evan stared at his hands that were still holding her hands.

They had suddenly turned cold and his face.. It was looking pale that a frown formed on her face!

"He told me that the old man was your father and.."

"Oh, are you talking about a man in the cloak who was following us in the fair? Did he do anything?" she should have known that the man could follow them. Using the name of his deceased parents! What a cruel and nasty person!

"You! You knew about it!?" taken aback he stopped abruptly and stared at her as if he was seeing a ghost..

"Leo! Guests have started to arrive and ask about your future wife!? Are you sure you want me to tell them that you have kidnapped her and are not letting her come out!" Evan stood up abruptly with her widened eyes when she heard the cold threat of Eve!

She knew better than anyone that Eve could do so if she was angered again! She turned to look at Leo, as if he was a kid who was throwing a tantrum!

"Yes, I do! But I did not care! I have more pressing matters to deal with like my marriage! Leo! Did you forget that we are going to marry tomorrow?" she glared at the man who was still looking shocked and shook her head.

If he wanted to worry about it then he could do that by all her means! She needed to leave or else everyone would stare at her in her marriage with a lot of rumors swirling around!

"You better stop worrying about other foolish things and look good in our marriage!" with her hands already on the knob of the door, she turned to remind him once again before turning and leaving from there!

"So, you only opened the door after the threat huh! Just what were you doing that you can not come out of?`` Just as the door opened, the curious eyes of Eve stared at Evan from top to bottom and started twinkling when she noticed that her brother was standing shirtless in the middle of the room.

He was looking stunned but his eyes narrowed when met hers but the crooked smile on her face did not hide away even after that!

"Don't tell me that you are too! Sigh! It was only two more days! Was it too difficult to wait!" the twinkle in her eyes only increased when she noticed the irritation of her brother and the embarrassed face of Evan who was looking away!

"Nothing like that had happened! So, do not think too much! Didn't you say that guests had come to meet me?" Eve chuckled when Evan tried to drag her out of the room but let her be as she nodded her head!

"Yes, a tea party is there to celebrate your last day as an unmarried woman! But if I knew that you have already.. And needed rest, then I would not have cared to invite all of them!" Evan glared again at the girl who was teasing her knowingly!

They both knew that it was not the case yet!

"By the way, Olivia is also there! As the daughter of the duke, I could not ignore her!" Evan nodded as she knew how important the class and hierarchy was! And since they were going to marry anyway, she did not care about the brooding jealous girl who wanted to take her place!

"It is fine!"

"Good! Then go and change your clothes! I have already chosen a dress for you and everything else you need! The maids are waiting for you! Come to the back garden once you are ready, i would entertain them till then!" she patted the shoulders of Evan who nodded and left from there when Evan took a deep breath as if she was going on a death mission and left from there.

Leo continued to stare at the empty room as he still could not believe that she already knew about everything! How could it be!? He needed another chance to confirm that they both were talking about the same matter but her words!

Taking a deep breath, he walked out of the room when his eyes fell on his aide whom he had given the forceful holidays and had taken them back conveniently!

"You are back!"

"Congratulations for your marriage, my lord! We all are too happy learning about your marriage and wish you all the happiness of the world!" he bowed his head with respect while Leo just nodded!

"My lord, do you want us to organize a small bachelor party for you as the princesses had planned for lady Evangeline?" Leo raised a brow but then shook his head!

​ "That would not be needed but to distribute sweets and pay for the dinner of the knights for tonight's meal from my account! And tend to the needs of my father related to marriage!" the man nodded his head respectfully when Leo turned to wear clothes first!

"I need your help with my presence! I have a matter to attend to and I want you to cover for me until I return! And if anyone asks for me, tell them I am with my friends!" 'if i want to know more about the matter, it would be best that i would find the one who had started it!;
