Phoebe’s grip tightened on Elysia’s arm, and her smile got bigger. “Elysia, you're my best friend. Don’t worry. I'll

take good care of your brothers. If they get even a scratch, you can do whatever you want to me, okay?”

Secing that Elysia wasn’t swayed, Phoebe looked up at her, blinking her eyes playfully and saying in a pretty

sweet tone, “Elysia, you knowbest. Please lendyour brothers for just one day” She held up a finger, her

eyes filled with longing.

“Remember what you just said. If anything happens to my brothers, you'll be the one in hot water,” Elysia

replied.

“Hot water?” Phoebe’s mouth dropped open in shock. “Isn’t that a bit much?”

“If you think it's too much, forget it. Ill think of another thank-you gift,” Elysia said.

“No, this is perfect. It's not too much at all,” Phoebe insisted. Elysia couldn't help but think that Phoebe was

fearless when it cto good looks.

When Elysia brought Phoebe into the living room, all four of the Evans brothers were there. Elysia called them

over, her gaze sweeping over each of them. “Fabian, Javier, Yehoshua, Holden, this is Phoebe. You've met her

before at Silverstream, remember?”

“Yeah, | remember. Last time, when Fabian hurt his hand, this young lady was the one who brought over the first

aid kit,” Javier said.

Fabian’s eyes landed on Phoebe. He remembered her; she'd stayed by his side the whole tElysia was

treating his wound. Realizing he hadn't properly thanked her, Fabian spoke up in his deep voice, “Thanks for

helping last time.”

Holden's eyes also turned to Phoebe, and he gave a slight nod. If Fabian and Javier remembered her, how could

he forget? She was the one who warned them when Edward cto Silverstream.

Yehoshua hadn’t met Phoebe before, but seeing his brothers greet her, he smiled gently and said, “Hi, I'm

Elysia’s third brother.”

Phoebe’s eyes sparkled at the sound of his voice. She couldn't help but stare at him. In her mind, he was even

better looking than any of the other Evans brothers. She was so mesmerized that she forgot to speak.

Elysia noticed her dazed expression, nudged her gently, and whispered, “Watch your composure.”

Phoebe snapped back to reality and extended her hand, saying happily, “Nice to meet you.”

Yehoshua hesitated, looking at her hand. He'd rarely held a girl's hand since he was young, and it had become

even rarer after joining the army.

The room seemed to freeze in silence. Only then did Phoebe realize something was wrong. ‘Why did | reach out

like that? Sure enough, one acts silly when captivated by someone else's looks,’ she wondered.

She looked at Yehoshua, wondering whether to pull her hand back, when she felt a cool sensation. Looking down,

she saw his long fingers gently wrapped around hers. “Nice to meet you,” he said.

Phoebe was delighted and managed to control herself this time. After a few seconds, they released each other's

hands. She quickly moved her hand behind her back, gently rubbing it. She thought, ‘My heart is racing. What is

happening?’

Lowering her eyes slightly, Phoebe smiled faintly. Elysia, oblivious to Phoebe’s change, looked at the Evans

brothers and said, “You guys might not know, but if it weren't for Phoebe, we wouldn't have been able to lure out

Ryan so easily.”

“So, you're saying this young lady deserves scredit?” Javier asked.

“Yeah. To thank her, you guys should take her around Jorlandia and have a good time,” Elysia replied.

Holden was about to speak when Elysia cut him off, “Holden, you really can’t refuse

82%

Reluctantly, Holden held back his words. Fabian nodded and said, his voice deep as ever. “Don’t worry, Elysia.

We'll make sure she has a great time”

“Alright, I'm relieved, Elysia said, about to leave. But then she stopped and looked back. “Make sure you guys

spend the whole day with her, okay?”

Elysia spoke in a sweet voice, but the Evans brothers sensed something off.

“Aren't you coming with us? Yehoshua asked, and the others suddenly realized what was happening, Elysia was

leaving them behind, asking them to accompany Phoebe without her around.

Everyone's eyes fell on Elysia, curious and inquiring. She gave a sheepish smile. “I... | have something to do

later. I'll leave Phoebe with you. Please take good care of her.”

Without waiting for a response, she grabbed Elena’s and Ava’s hands and rushed toward the door.

Holden watched her leave and pouted, “I knew it wasn’t that simple. What Elysia said earlier was probably just a

setup, and this is what she was waiting for.”

Fabian glanced at Holden, who quickly shut his mouth, feeling his brother's gaze. Holden knew better than to say

anything

more.

The other Evans brothers all understood what Holden had meant. But they knew they just needed to follow their

sister's instructions. After all, Phoebe had helped them before.

Fabian looked in the direction Elysia had gone, but she was already out of sight. Turning back to Phoebe, he said,

“Elysia told us to take good care of you. Wherever you want to go, just let us know, and we'll take you there.”

“Alright, then showall the fun and tasty spots in Jorlandia, Phoebe said, glancing at each of the four brothers.

“Elysia said you all have a day to spend with me.”

Phoebe admired the charm of the Evans brothers, but she knew her limits and wouldn't act recklessly. Besides,

given Elysia’s personality, Phoebe knew she would indeed be in hot water if anything happened to one of those

guys.

Thinking of her own safety, Phoebe decided to restrain herself. Besides, having the handsguys accompany

her through the streets was already quite impressive.

She thought, ‘For a mortal, it's important to be content. | don’t harbor many desires; well, perhaps just... a love

for beauty.
