+15 BONUS
For the next three days, Lily would inform Evan about Caroline’s refusal to eat every time he
returned home. He had initially tolerated it, but at the end of three days, he had reached his limit.
She was willing to trade her health to run away freely with another man?!
With a grim expression, Evan made his way upstairs. After dismissing the bodyguard, he entered
Caroline’s room.
The only source of light in the dark room came from the computer. He noticed Caroline curled up
on the bed, peacefully asleep.
As he approached her, he caught sight of two bottles of medicine on the side of the computer. His
frown deepened when he picked them up and realized they were acute pain relievers, not the gastric
medicine he expected. Opening the cap, he discovered that there wasn’t much left.
Putting the medicine aside, he walked closer to the bed and gently shook Caroline awake. “Get up!”
Caroline, feeling dizzy from hunger, opened her eyes and saw his handsome face. She thought it was a
hallucination caused by her empty stomach.
Slapping his arms away, she mumbled with closed eyes, “Why am I seeing him even in my
dreams?”

Evan heard her words clearly, and he couldn’t snap out of his shock. Was she talking about him? His
grim expression softened considerably as he contemplated her statement.
Sitting by the bed, he asked in his deep voice, “Do you want to see your mother?”
Caroline, still thinking she was imagining things, heard his voice again and sensed that
something was amiss. Opening her eyes wide, she realized it was really him.
She instinctively wanted to get up, but she just did not have the strength to after not–eating for
three days.
Confused, she gulped and asked, “Why are you here?”
His expression turned cold as he came up with a flimsy excuse. “The New Year is approaching, and I
don’t want anyone to die in my home.”
Angry, she retorted, “Then bury me somewhere. I’d rather die than lose my freedom.”
She would rather die sooner. Although she didn’t verbalize her innermost thoughts, he could perceive
the weight of her unspoken desires, and a flicker of irritation danced in his eyes.
Determined to change the situation, he issued a commanding order, “Get up, we’re going out!”

At a spa villa in the suburbs, Evan brought Caroline for a spa day after she reluctantly ate a
spoonful of porridge made by Lily.
As she Immersed in the hot spring surrounded by beautiful scenery, she felt a sense of relaxation.
Secretly, she glanced at the man with a perfect face who was resting with his eyes closed.
His lips were pursed, and the mist in the air gave him a mysterious aura. After a moment of
contemplation, she gathered her courage and asked, “The year is coming to an end. How is the
secretary’s office managing?“1
His voice was husky as he responded, “If you want to go to work, just say so.
She was taken aback. It wasn’t that she wanted to work, but she needed to find a way to gain her
freedom. That way, once her mother was discharged from the hospital, she could leave at any
time. 1
Playing along, she replied, “Yes, I want to work. Staying at Villa Rosa is boring”
Evan opened his eyes slowly, fixing his gaze on her. “Aren’t you studying fashion design online?”
She carefully lied, “I don’t have the talent for it, so I gave up.”
Evan stood up from the water, his muscular body on full display. “Come with me to the room.”
Caroline looked down and calmly asked, “Can I ask you something?”
He took a step forward and put on a white robe. “Yes.”
“Are you and Daniella…” She licked her lips. “Together?”
She couldn’t accept the fact that she was caught in the middle of their relationship.
“As long as you behave, I won’t be with her anytime soon.”
It wasn’t only that, there were some matters he needed to investigate. He had been searching for

Daniella had shared her side of the story, it didn’t guarantee that she was the person he was
looking for. He had to proceed cautiously.
Meanwhile, Daniella lay in bed at the International Residence in Angelbay City. Nic caressed her back
as he asked, “How are things going with your adoptive parents? Have they agreed to be your
witnesses?” 1
Viciousness flashed in her eyes as she replied, “No. They’re still stubborn, even after being locked
up for so long!”
He kissed her red lips. “I heard your adoptive mother’s parents are still alive.”

She looked up in shock. “Are you saying that I should threaten them with my grandparents?”
“Why not? Look at Evan. He’s suspicious of you, which is why he doesn’t want to commit fully.
Isn’t that the case?”
“No, my conscience won’t allow it! They’re too old.”
“Why are we talking about conscience now? Don’t you want your status? Money? Don’t you know
how to weigh the pros and cons?”
Daniella froze, Evan’s handsome face suddenly appearing in her mind.
Noticing her reaction, Nic continued to fan the flames. “I’m not asking you to harm them
physically. Just use verbal threats on your adoptive parents. If you don’t act quickly, you might lose
your chance to be with Evan. After all, his real true love hasn’t appeared yet.“1
