Chapter 295 - Come Closer!
Chapter 295 – Come Closer!
"You want everything for yourself even when you have a good post of a knight and a better future. Do you still think you would be welcomed here?" her eyes were filled with so much hatred, that if possible, she would have killed the boy with her own hands.
If he would be gone then there would be no one to take everything away from her! Her cold eyes were filled with poison that injured the heart of the young man but he would never admit it.
He continued to sit there as if he did not feel a thing or cared about it. Since he was already claimed as a selfish man, then he would justify the title given to him.
"Since you know everything already. Why are you here to tell me so? Do you not have any other party to attend to?" Though she was raging, his voice was still low and calm as he picked up the glass of water and took a sip.
"I am here to check on the work. I would go to the office and check the budget and all other expenses. Then I would even go and confirm all the dealings of the business!
Since that is what I am supposed to do as a count!" the woman gritted her teeth as her hands clenched into a fist!.
"Do not forget that I am the one managing the house! Do you doubt me?" she stood up and glared at the man who did not seem to be fazed.
"No! I am doing what I am supposed to do! I hope you will support me in my work as the good incharge!" The incharge words were like a bone that had been struck into the throat of the lady, she could not nibble or spit out.
Her whole face turned red with rage and embarrassment that she wanted to run and charge on the man who was sitting there nonchalantly. But in the end, she just laughed like crazy!
"Very well! Even if I see how you are going to manage the palace and work without us? Do you take us as free laborers who manage everything while you come and administer us whenever you want!?
I will better leave with my kids so that you handle everything by yourself!" her hands crossed in front of her chest as she challenged the boy with surety that he would relent and leave like the past.
But this time he just nodded.
"I have stopped you so many times in the past yet you always end up at this decision. If that is what you really wish, then I will not stop you further!
I will ask Stan to help you in packing!" he nodded his head and stood up as if he was going to call Stan right now and the woman\'s eyes widened.
Her cold face cracked as she could not believe that the boy who did not have tongue in his mouth was talking back to her.
If she would leave this palace then how would she manage her luxurious life and all the expenses!
"Wait! Are you trying to throw me away once you have achieved your goals!?" she spat with fuming eyes and the man rubbed his forehead. He felt like a headache was forming.
"Isn\'t it you who wanted to leave?" he asked back and she pursed her lips and left the room without uttering another word! He shook his head and closed the door with a sigh.
"I hope you are having a better time than me, master!" he took a deep sigh as he slumped on the bed.

In the office,
Evan was still in daze when the man left! She did not know why but since the man had proposed to her, he had become so cool but at the same time he was going against everyone to be with her.
Would it not create further trouble for him in the future?
Once the duke was gone, his authoritative aura was replaced immediately!
"Evan! I am thirsty. Would you pass me the water?" her eyes snapped back to him and then at the glass that was lying on his table while she was standing far away.
He would not even need to move from his place to pick the glass. She was about to open her mouth to remind him but when she recalled how he had fought for her. She closed her mouth and walked towards the table with a nod.
She picked up the glass and forwarded it to him but he took no initiative to take the glass from her.
"My lord!"
"Why don\'t you help me in drinking it?" she looked at him with bewilderment when she heard his nonchalant words.
"My legs are in pain and I feel extreme pain when moving even if it is a bit!" she wanted to tell him that he needed to move his hands not legs to drink the water but when she looked at his pain stricken face, she did not have the heart to do so.
And before she could think, her hands had instinctively moved closer to his lips as she bent a bit on the table!
"Traitor body!" it was all due to his charms and acting she concluded! Since she had already bent over, it would be better that she would help him in drinking and go to her seat for work. Why did it feel like that day was too long!
A dark ray of light passed in his eyes when he saw her pouting her lips so adorably!
No matter when he looked at her, he only wanted to taste those lips again!
Taking a few gulps with a satisfied look on his face, he was about to ask her to let go when he noticed that she was bending uncomfortably from the other side of the table instead of standing in front of him.
Was she afraid that he would eat her away if she could come closer to him?
"Evan come here, the distance is too much!"
