Chapter 499 [Bonus Chapter] Who Has Mental Illness(Chapter Preview)

—-------------------------------

"What.. what are you..!"

"Oh do not lie to me. I was thinking about it from the moment you were holding your abdomen these days. I have seen you more than twice holding it and caressing it while lost in thoughts!

Evan, I can not believe that you are trying to hide it. Brother would go berserk if he knew that you did not share the good news.

Not to forget father! He is so lost and worried these days, do you have any idea how happy he would be if he knew that he is going to be a grandfather!" her voice was top of her lungs while her eyes were shining with excitement.

She stared at Evan as if she could already see two kids dancing around her. She jumped with joy while holding the hands of Evan who shook her head.

She knew it was going to happen. Once they knew that she was pregnant, their hopes would rise high. But what if the kid could not survive. Or what if..?

"So, when will he come out? And is he a boy or a girl? Can we have both pretty please? I want a small leo and a chubby young Evan.

Oh my god! You are so cruel to hide it. Tonight we will have a feast." Eve clapped her hands as she laughed brightly. Her smile was so addicting that Evan smiled too.

Eve walked closer and wrapped her arms around Evan and stroked her back.

"If you are worried about something. You should share it with us. At least, with leo. I know that we all are a bit messed up but that does not mean we do not have time for you.

You are precious and the gift you are going to give the family is.. I can't even explain to Evan how happy I am! Then imagine how crazy the rest of the family will be!" Evan could imagine that since the first day. She knew that they all would go crazy.

But these hopes.. These expectations are making her more nervous about the future. She was afraid that she would break everyone's heart.

"Yes, I know. I just thought they all were worried about the death of their aunt. I was just looking for a good opportunity." Eve stared back at Evan and knew that she was lying.

If that would have been the case, then she would not have tried to hide it when Eve asked so brazenly. Yet she nodded, but decided to discuss it with Leo later.

If Evan was worried but could not share her problems with her, then she much confide to Leo, her husband.

"Alright, then I will wait and give you a chance to inform others. But do it this week. If not, I will announce it at your marriage ceremony party. How good of a surprise gift it would be!" Though she was talking amiably, Evan knew that it was a warning that she had to do it.

"Alright, then. I am leaving. You should go and take more rest. I will order some nutritious food in your room." Evan pursued her lips but nodded as she wanted some time to sort out her thoughts too.

She took slow steps towards the stairs while holding the railing tightly in her hands that a screeching sound could be heard every time she took a step.

Eve continued to sit there watching her, and sighed once she left. Though her eyes were joyous, she did not look happy at all. What happened that made the cheery girl so sad!?

But before she could think further, the image of Evan was replaced by an angry Chris who was completely wet and glaring at her.

"You locked me!" he told the obvious and she raised a brow! He ran a hand in his hair and the droplets of water started to fall on the floor too.

His clothes were completely wet yet instead of going to his room and changing his clothes. He was here, squabbling with her? Who was he, a kid?

"Aren't you taking this place as your home? Did you forget that you are just a guest here?" she asked, ignoring his condition.

She turned towards the table and picked her glass of juice that had turned hot now.

"You! You know that the only way to get out of the room is through the window but it is above the pool and that part is slippery. I fell more than a dozen times before successfully coming out." he muttered through gnashing teeth but she just shrugged her shoulders.

​ "That only means that you need to hone your skills. I have run out through that window a few times while helping you but not even once had I fallen in it.

Best

You are not only dumb with brain but also need physical balance." she muttered in a mocking tone as she felt angered.

Just what he was trying to do? Is this his way of pursuing her? He had not said a single nice word since the time he had come here.

He was neither trying to flirt or say sweet words! Showing that he was great and she should fawn over him or behaving casually and brazenly in front of her was not enough that now he was glaring at her and blaming her while he was the one who had entered in his room brazenly.

If he continued like that she would make sure that Leo would throw him out of the palace. With a fiery look on her face, she turned back at him to give him her two cents when she noticed that he was staring at her with mouth agape.

His eyes were larger than saucers which soon filled with arrogant looks in them.

A smirk that was so proud that she wanted to punch him to wipe it off formed on his lips confusing her.

"Are you suffering from mental illness? You were shouting so loud and now you are laughing like a maniac. Huh?"

"No, I am just glad that my condition healed your mental illness."

"......"
