Death of Love: Sweet But Killer

Chapter 40: The return of Maxime's great grandfather

The breeze that was so soothing to the heart made the atmosphere this morning more calm, even the blue sky is now illuminated by the sunlight that makes the World more real. A woman in her black style was sitting in front of her house. He seemed to be enjoying the atmosphere this morning, with a flat face.

The woman was Evelyne who was pensive in front of her house without doing anything, to make Liliana who was in the garden chair while knitting some cloth in her hand looked at Evelyne with a confused look on her face.

“Honey! You have nothing else to do but contemplate there?” ask Liliana

Evelyne shook her head, “No ma'am, I have no job. Mom if you need anything, can tell me just”

Kringg...

Hearing the ringing of the phone ringing, Liliana unceasingly checked her phone. But the sound often comes not from his phone, but from the hp evelyne in his pants pocket. Evelyne, who heard the ringing, had absolutely no intention of picking it up. Even lifting him up he would not.

Liliana, who saw Evelyne let the phone ring, made her say. “Honey! Your phone reads that, why don't you pick it up?”

Evelyne shook her head, “Most not important! So no need in lift”

“Honey, you can't do that! Pick up the phone, afraid it's from the big master.” Liliana put all her knitting equipment on the table.

Evelyne glanced sharply at Liliana “If from her, it is definitely not important ma'am!” evelyne said as he walked away from Liliana. “I want to go for a while, Mom don't need to worry if I'm late for home”

“Honey! Where are you going?! Don't wander around here! This is not a safe place for you, baby!” liliana shouted in disregard by evelyne.

...

On the other hand, the great grandfather who was sitting on a chair with a warm cup of tea brought by the waiter made himself somewhat calm. Even his breath was breathless after contacting someone on his phone.

“Master, please drink it”

The servant gave the great grandfather warm tea, and he stood behind him to be ready to receive what he commanded.

After a few minutes, the large door of the main residence was wide open. Displaying perfectly a pair of lovers who are walking together with hands that hold each other. The man from the couple was 180 and above while the woman next to the man was 160 and above.

Indeed it was a distant difference, but they looked very suitable in the eyes of the great grandfather maxime. Seeing the two walking together, made grandfather maxime smile widely. Even sighed his leg as a soft nod of his head started to move.

“We came to visit grandpa!” simultaneously the couple, while stopping right in front of maxime's great grandfather.

Grandfather maxime nodded, then swung his hands to the chest. “Yoona, come! There's something I want to ask you”

Hearing this, Evelyne walked over to Grandfather. Then sit down on the floor to make himself lower than the big grandfather sitting position. “What's grandpa?” evelyne asked, raising her head, to bring her eyes together with the grandfather's.

“Where were you yesterday? Why is it that when I'm not home, you don't come to greet me?” the grandfather stared at evelyne whose position was much lower than his. He was a little surprised when he saw Evelyne coming and he politely sat on the floor and looked at him respectfully. There was not even the slightest arrogance in his eyes.

“I'm sorry grandfather, not that I meant to disrespect you. But, yesterday I was really preoccupied with my affairs outside. So do not have time to go home that day.sorry if grandfather is angry if I do not welcome you” explained Evelyne with his head lowered.

Seeing and hearing Evelyne's attitude at that time, made everyone in the main residence surprised and amazed at what this evelyne did. Maxime's great-grandfather who was now in front of evelyne was also surprised when he heard the explanation, because arguably this is the first time he was treated so politely and respected by evelyne.

Grandfather smiled, then gently stroked the still-unraised evelyne head. “Bless your head! I'd be really mad if you still humbled yourself like this”

“It's okay grandpa, isn't that what I should do to you?” Evelyne raised her head, then smiled which made the grandfather stunned for a moment.

The grandfather stretched out his hand, helping Evelyne to stand up from his seat. “Now, how about you explain it?!” Ask the grandfather with the chairman to William who is standing not far from him.

Hearing the change in the tone of grandfather's voice, William will not be surprised again with his attitude like that. “I still have a lot of work in the office, so I don't have time to go home!” William answered briefly.

“What is your job more important than my return?” the old man stared at William.

While Evelyne who saw William was angry by his grandfather also made him run towards William. Then put his hand on one of William's special arms. “Grandfather, please don't scold him. Liam has been working overtime for a few days because of problems at the office. I don't know how big the problem is, but please grandpa to forgive his mistake!” evelyne said as he spoke.

William frowned, staring at the body of evelyne so close to his body that it gave some touch to the side of their body. Evelyne was also there a little awkward with her closeness, but what if this was the deal they made before.

2 Hours ago.

Evelyne walked up to a large bridge that showed a black car parked there with a man standing next to the car in his office style. Just one look, Evelyne had already guessed that the man was William.

“Ngapain?! I'll tell you, no need to come pick me up!” evelyne said as he stood before William.

William himself was silent for a moment when he saw the appearance of evelyne like a different person than before. Even her smile and cheerful face had now turned into a cold expression. Even his aura was so cursing at anyone who was nearby.

“Grandfather home! He asked me to take you now. So please don't act up and follow my words!” pinta William in her cold tone.

Evelyne shook her head, “You come home first, I'll catch up with you later!”

“No! You're coming with me home!? What if Grandpa sees me coming home without taking you? Do you want to make Grandpa angry even bigger?!” force William by staring intently at evelyne.

Evelyne was silent when she heard it coming out of William's mouth, wanting to laugh at him but was just about to get into this serious situation. “Will what do I get? If I do this for you once?!” ask Evelyne who asked William for a reward.

“I'll give you anything! Whether it's money, work, or protection” William replied as he threw a black plastic office at William. “Take it and put it on the car!!”

Evelyne caught it, then opened the plastic and removed the contents from the plastic. “What is this? Why did you give me a shirt?” evelyne asked as she looked at William who was taking out a cigarette from his place.

“Just use! No need to ask too many questions. I'm here to work with you, not to answer all your questions!” William rolled his sharp eyes as he began to clamp the cigarette between his two thick lips.

Evelyne was just silent as he walked over to the black car, arriving beside the car and just wanted to open the car door to the rear passenger seat. Suddenly William again let out a voice that made evelyne pause his movement. “In there are shoes I have prepared for you. You put it on and let me know when you're done wearing it all”

After saying those words, evelyne fell silent again and began to enter himself into William's car which was large enough to make it easier for him to change inside. ‘It turns out you only consider him a partner of Cooperation if the great grandfather is in the residence and you indeed never see him as a wife at all'

...--🥀🕊—

...

“Why do you keep defending him? That will only make him act even more!” said the great grandfather while pointing towards William.

Evelyne just smiled and then slowly he nudged William's big hand to make the man sharply roll his eyes. While evelyne who got the sharp glances just poked it with his eyes, so that William would apologize for his mistake.

Eye Code Evelyne: Apologize quickly, if all this is going to end quickly!

William's eye code: In whose name do you dare to tell me?

Understanding the code, Evelyne further sharpened his eyes so that William would lower his prestige slightly to the great grandfather. William, who could not stand the closeness, sighed, and said “I'm sorry, grandfather. I'm wrong!”

The grandfather laughed loudly when he heard William say like that “William, are you willing to lower your prestige for Yoona?!.... It's been amazing once”

“Kakek already! Please don't extend this, we're wrong. We are sorry to you” Evelyne said, who still has not released William from his closeness.

Grandfather nodded, then smiled at the evelyne still standing beside William, with his hand draping one of William's arms. “Grandfather likes your actions today! You can go back to your room! I'll go to the park for a moment.”

The two nodded then let grandfather and one of his servants out of the main hall, then evelyne quickly removed his hand from William's arm. It certainly made William surprised and rolled his eyes towards evelyne who was tidying up his long hair.

“Dispose of it after you use. Do you think I'm an item?” cibir William while tidying up his black suit.

Hearing the sneer, evelyne smiled obliquely then said. “You yourself why would you throw away a diamond just for a rock?”

William was stunned, he did not know what Evelyne meant about his words. In fact he also felt a little strange with the drastic change of the current evelyne temperament. Though it was clear that he claimed that evelyne who is now a cheerful and friendly woman even though his attitude is a little boyish. But why has it changed now?

Is everything he does just his acting?

On the other hand, Evelyne who did not want to wait any longer there also directly walked out of the main residence to meet the great grandfather in the park with his servant there. But just as he wanted to approach the great grandfather, he was immediately startled by the founding of Clara in front of the grandfather.

“Ngapain are you here? I told you not to come here again?!!”

“Big master, I'm here with no intention of harming Yoona. But I'm just here to see you”

“Halah...no need to lie to you! I know you're here waiting for William to come out right?!”

“T-no sir, w-why are you talking like that? Me and brother William are just little friends”

“Tiny friend? You think you can fool me as that little friend?!”

“Master, what do you mean? I came here for good intentions, why did you scold me and even you accuse me of not-no with brother William.”

Grandpa laughed in ridicule “Do you think my accusation is true? Why are you taking it so seriously? Are you really doing all that to William?!”

“T-no sir, please don't talk that way. William and I are really just work partners. And I also do not have the slightest intention to reclaim it”

“Oh yes? Then what do you mean by everything you did a few days ago?! I wonder how you explain it!”

“A-me...”

“Do you think with your attitude like that it won't hurt the feelings of my granddaughter-in-law?!”

“T-lord..a-I didn't mean that.”.

“Then what? Do you think all these decisions of mine are a hindrance to your relationship with my granddaughter?!”

Clara was cornered, feeling that all the words of the great grandfather hurt her enough. Even without answering the words, Clara preferred to leave the place with a painful heart and tears dripping down her cheeks.

While the great grandfather who saw the departure from Clara made her sigh with relief, then smiled slightly as she rolled her eyes sideways. “Satisfied to hear everything there?! Basic creatures who don't know manners!”

Feeling caught by the great grandfather, evelyne also came out of his hiding place and with a sense of shame he walked up to the grandfather with his head slightly lowered.

“M-forgive me! I didn't mean it like that”

Grandfather sharply rolled his eyes, “How much did you hear it?”

“Everything. I'm sorry grandpa”

Grandfather shook his head, then he slowly patted the fragile-looking evelyne on the shoulder in his eyes. “This is a reply for him. Shake your shoulders, don't be fragile! Because if you fall once, then it will give him a chance to act like that again”

“I understand, grandpa. Thanks”

Grandfather nodded while keeping his hands away from evelyne's shoulders. “Can I leave one of my requests to you?”

“Can grandpa. What do you want to put on me?”

“Please heal William's blindness against Clara. I can only expect it from you, because you have the same face as the one William missed 4 years ago. You do have a hard heart, but you always soften your heart to fight the hard heart that William has. So can you get William to love you?”
