Death of Love: Sweet But Killer

Chapter 74: He responds to you for something else

“you picked me up here? Did you finish your work at the office?” Evelyne asked in their silence.

William nodded “Already, I've been finishing it since last afternoon. So you don't have to worry about that anymore!”

“You are, why do you always delay your work? Though you yourself know that work that is increasingly delayed will make you lazy to do it” Evelyne said like a mother who was advising her child.

William was silent for a moment then with a glance he rolled his eyes towards Evelyne who was now sitting beside him. “I'm not delaying, I just want to take a break from all that tiring work!”

“But still you can't put it off. What if your boss finds out about the work you're doing? Aren't you afraid to get fired from here?” Evelyne asked with concern.

William chuckled, knowing that Evelyne really did not know him well, to the point that he did not know that the CEO in the company was himself. “No, I'm not afraid. Besides, that guy won't fire me because all the business that's smooth on the run, all because of me”

“Ckk! You might say it like that, but you can't imagine how the world will play a game for you later” Evelyne said, reminding William not to be arrogant.

William nodded “Alright, I won't speak like that. But you also have to make me not do that anymore! Okay?”

“OK, but you must not complain if I set your working hours from now.” Sahut Evelyne directly agreed by William without a second thought.

After their conversation ended, Evelyne refocused herself on the HP screen in her hand. The woman looked so serious that it made William himself feel lonely even though they were already beside him. “Yoona, is your job not done yet so you have to do it at home like this?”

“No! I'm just looking at some news that is now circulating on social media about the dark world business.” Evelyne replied that immediately made William stop his car suddenly.

William is surprised, but Evelyne is more surprised when his car suddenly stops for no reason. “You said what? Dark world?”

“Ya, dark world. Do you know about that?” Evelyne asked what the dark world was like. And since when did it wake up in this city.

William panicked, not even expecting Evelyne to find out about what he should not have known. “K-why did you suddenly ask about it? And know where you're from about the dark world?”

“Don't know about it from anyone, I've only heard rumors that the dark world has been established for a long time and the dark world has also disappeared a few months ago because of mysterious incidents. But... Why now, did they re-establish it in this city? Does it not break the rules inside this city?” clearly Evelyne was full of question marks.

William was silent for a moment, at first hesitating to tell Evelyne about this. But he also could not continue to hide it, Karna Evelyne had the same job as him. “I don't know about it, but I think they just use the business purpose just to satisfy their depraved desires”

“But, I'm still not sure that they did it just a wish.” Evelyne's objection made William turn his head to the side. “I think that doing that is just a bait they introduced in the dark world. Because completely, they would not do such a thing without a worthwhile goal”

William frowned, thinking that Evelyne's words had a point as well. But he couldn't respond to it any further. Because he did not want to, Evelyne involved himself into the dark world. “Ahh...already! Forget about the dark world. That is very unimportant to discuss tau!!”

“Then, what do you think is worth talking about?” Ask Evelyne.

William was silent for a moment while thinking about what topic he wanted to talk about next. He also returned to running his car after he finished talking about the dark world with Evelyne for the first time. While Evelyne who was silent by looking at himself in the reflection of the car glass also made himself think that he could use this body to destroy the world for the second time.

- Maybe my revenge will be delayed with this -

...--🥀🕊—

...

Arriving at Maxime's residence, Evelyne and William immediately got out of the car when everything was parked in the courtyard of the residence. William could also see an old man standing straight at the door of Maxime's residence with a cold look. Even William could already guess what would happen after they got out of the car.

William sighed “You don't know who grandpa is, so don't ever think you'd be safe if you've made it that way!”

“Oh yes? I get curious, how cruel grandfather if already angry with someone” challenge Evelyne without fear. In fact, he also almost got out of the car to face the grandfather who was making his attitude like that. “Yoona, wait!! You can't get out of here now!” prevent William by holding one of Evelyne's hands from getting out of the car.

Evelyne turned her head, looking at William with a surprised look because she did not know why William was acting like this. “This is just your grandfather, Liam. Why are you so scared? Shouldn't it be a problem if we apologize to him and explain everything that happened last night?”

“Yes, it's easy to think of. But you can't easily take grandfather for granted like that” said William who was surprised to see grandfather personally coming to him.

Grandpa who was already at the driver's door made William can not do anything but get out of the car with a silent look on his face. Even if he often denied or fought grandfather, he had never once alluded to him to this extent. Is it because he brought Evelyne home that night?

“K-grandfather, I'm sorry! I-I didn't mean to not give you the news back then” great-grandson William by lowering his head.

Evelyne who saw the two talking in front also made himself directly out of the car without asking permission to William first. And even he also ran towards grandfather, then held his hand without hesitation. “grandfather, forgive me! We didn't come home last night because of your mistake. Liam has nothing to do with it, if grandpa wants to be angry then just temper me!”

“Y-yoona, w-what are you doing?” William's surprised.

Grandfather who heard Evelyne's confession made him gently rub the woman's head like his own grandson. Even he also sighed because he couldn't get his emotions out while Evelyne was still here. “So I don't know that, now you go rest in the room. Grandpa and William want to talk something first”

“T-but cake?” evelyne said doubtfully.

Grandfather shook his head, knowing that Evelyne was afraid of leaving William who would end up in an all-out omelin by him. But that's not what he wanted to talk to William about, it's something else. “I won't scold him! I'm just talking casually, you don't have to worry about that. I know you're a good wife to your bad husband. But you also can't doubt my every word right?”

“Eum...” dehem Evelyne while releasing its use from the hands of grandfather.

Grandfather was silent then slowly he brought his mouth closer to one of Evelyne's ears. “I'm glad you can make him detach from his past. But I remind you to be more careful. Because a lot of people don't want your relationship with William to go well. Do you understand what I mean?”

“I get it, grandpa. Thanks for telling me about that!” evelyne said with a smile on her face.

While the grandfather who saw the smile just fell silent and told the ministry to take Evelyne back into his room. While he and William were still silent in the quiet courtyard of the residence because everyone there had entered the residence. “So, what do you want to talk to me about?” William asked in a cold tone.

“Heh..it turns out you're good at acting that way too. Aren't you afraid that everything will be revealed by the woman herself?” Grandfather looked at William with his sharp eyes while William only replied to him with a cold look. “No! Because I'll make him love me back like he used to!”

Grandpa laughed “Then, what if he only responded to you for something else. Are you going to accept all that?”

“Ya, I Receive. Whatever will happen to me, I will accept it without complaining. Even I will not ask you for help again, for the last time to my mother!” William said firmly before he stepped away leaving the grandfather who was still silent there.

In room.

William who had just opened the room door wide, he was immediately displayed with a woman who was asleep on a mattress with a slumber. He changed his clothes before he went back to the room.

William was speechless, staring at Evelyne's beautiful face, which was now soundly asleep, making him a little uncomfortable as some bad things continued to plague his mind. But more than that, William just kept thinking about how he could make this woman love him again. Even if it's just a little.

“Ah... It seems, the karma in this world never lies huh! I know, I love you. But why do I always do you cruel things? Even I made you hate me with your heart that you used to love me.” William muttered while stroking Evelyne's forehead gently.
