Chapter 855 It Will Work

locked eyes, and he, rare as it was, seemed flustered. He looked toward Zayla, hoping she could help explain the
situation, but Zayla had already turned away and left.
Zayla held her gown and slowly moved behind the curtains, using them as a cover while peeking from the window
to see how Stephen would handle the situation. Was that your ex-girlfriend?” Evie asked in a gentle tone as if she
weren’t angry at all. “No, she’s my lifesaver,” Stephen honestly replied, for Bonnie had indeed saved his life once.

there was an underlying tone. Zayla could tell that Evie was jealous, and her words were laced with sarcasm. She
wondered if Stephen would understand. “She’s just my lifesaver. I haven’t pledged myself to her!” Stephen felt
tongue-tied for the first time, but he had to defend himself. “But I just heard-
“She made that up! There’s nothing between us, as she claims. We have nothing. Nothing like what you’re
thinking.” Stephen was afraid she wouldn’t believe him, so he explained once more. “It doesn’t matter even if you
are once in a relationship. It’s all in the past. I won’t mind.” Evie’s tone was sincere, making it hard to tell if it was
genuine or deliberate. If she said she didn’t mind, did that mean she was not angry? Stephen let out a sigh of relief,
but upon closer thought, he felt something was off. Just then, Evie said again, “I’ll go back to the makeup room.”
Afterward, she turned around and prepared to leave. Zayla was shocked and thought,
“Stephen, you have to step up and not let her go!” Stephen panicked at the sight of Evie leaving and instinctively
rushed over, tet bonus grabbing her wrist! Seeing this, Zayla breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness Stephen still
had a chance! Stephen explained once more, “There was nothing at all. How can it be considered something I had
with her in the past? Evie, you have to believe me. I have nothing to hide, and I am completely open with you.” Evie

“I believe you.” Stephen’s heart still couldn’t fully settle, and he tightened his grip on her hand. He immediately
said, “I absolutely won’t allow any rift to form between us because of her words. I don’t know how to handle this, so

taken aback but didn’t deny 570/ “Yes, that’s true.” “Wasn’t it just a hasty remark?” Evie asked. “No, that was my
true feelings.” “Then why don’t you say it normally?” She always thought he didn’t dislike me. That was all.
“How can I constantly express my love? If it weren’t for Bonnie insisting on helping us deepen our feelings, would I
have let her hug me like that? I think she’s not helping me. She’s setting a trap for me.” Before Stephen could finish
speaking, Evie raised herself on her tiptoes and planted a kiss on his lips. “Don’t be so anxious, I truly believe you,
and this is my reward for you. I’ll go back to the makeup room now.” She had acted on impulse, rushing out of the
makeup room earlier, but the outcome was satisfying to her. Because she heard Stephen say he liked her, that he
loved her. Afterward, Evie prepared to leave. Stephen held her hand and showed no intention of letting go. Instead,
he pulled her into his embrace. Evie, your behavior is not good.”> Evie’s face turned slightly red, and she asked,
“What’s not good about it?” “Sneaking a kiss while I wasn’t expecting it and then running away?” “I didn’t sneak a
kiss. I said it was a reward for you.” “Well then, in return, how about this?”
