"What it looks like right now, isn't really Mr. Josh, Miss. And... Please don't talk about this to him or to Mr. Luise. Here I try to be neutral, and protect both. And so are you now, if Mr. Josh tries to harm Miss, it is certainly I who will rebuke him on Mr. Luise's orders."
Hearing that Evelyn was increasingly made scared and agitated. The thought of wanting to live a life like flowing water is now turned into fear and wants to escape from the Dexter family. Of course Evelyn knew this would not be easy for her. But, if he continues to be here, where will he survive? Did he have to be as happy as he was with his life and end up dead in the cold-hearted man's grasp?
"If no one wants to ask, then we must leave immediately. Before Mrs Irish gets mad because we're late, miss," Eric says, turning her back to start the car.
The car started to go. Evelyn still remained unmoved. There are so many questions he wants to ask. But, it doesn't seem right if it should be asked today.
"Don't think too much, Miss. Mr. Josh isn't the type of person who would hurt someone else if that person didn't touch him." again that's all that comes out of Eric's mouth. His words would make it harder for Evelyn to forget her thoughts about the Dexter family.
It only took them half an hour to get to the hospital. Eric opens the car door for Evelyn to leave. The two immediately went inside and headed for the VIP room of the place where Master Luise was.
"Evelyn" said the middle-aged woman when she saw her son-in-law had arrived. "Josh isn't with you?" he asked when he did not see the child coming.
"She was picking up my sister, Mom," Evelyn replied, because that was all she knew.
"Oh," said Mrs Irish, looking still cool about the arrival of her daughter. He sat back on the sofa with Evelyn's arm.
When I saw the face of my mother-in-law. It felt like Evelyn was asking about their family, but would the woman be telling the truth? Or even angry because Evelyn tried to learn about them. For sure, Evelyn is really being agitated with everything.
He thought, it is better he worked hard to make money even though he had to cry to pay off the debts of the father. Compared to being trapped inside the house out Dexter who knows as well as himself is out of the world and rich in this country.
Rethinking his fate. During the chaos of the past few days, he had no time to think about how his parents were doing. He also did not remember their phone number because he was brought here too he did not bring his phone.
There was always the question of his family, were they thinking about his current fate? Do they feel sorry for selling themselves? Or even feel ordinary because it is free from debt? Ah, just thinking about it Evelyn still felt pain. How could her parents sell Evelyn that easily just because of debt.
"You why?"
The question that Madam Irish was asking suddenly shocked her. He immediately replied and was a little nervous, "ah, ti–it's okay, Mom. Maybe it's just fatigue, I didn't sleep well last night.
Eric glanced slightly, he looked at Evelyn coldly. She knew there was no way the woman would talk about her conversation with Josh.
"Why is your sleep not good? Is something bothering you?"
"Just a little nervous about meeting Mommy's daughter" Evelyn immediately smiled. "Ah, has Mommy eaten yet?" he asked to shift the subject.
"It has. But Mommy has no appetite" replied the Irish Lady sighing. "Mommy is also nervous, after three years of not meeting her brother Josh" he added.
Evelyn immediately rubbed her mother-in-law's hand gently with a smile. He tried to calm the middle-aged woman.
Not long after, Josh also came with a beautiful woman. His face was almost as fair as the man, both of them looked similar.
"Mom," said the woman whose full name was Jesslyn Wilhelmina Dexter. He immediately grabbed the mother's body and hugged her tightly.
"Don't bother them. We gotta get out. Follow me!" he pulled Evelyn's hand.
Evelyn frowned and turned her head towards Eric who was also coming out. She was amazed by the man with the status of her husband. If he touches his hand, he will get angry. This time, she held Evelyn's hand.
"Where are we going?" evelyn asked as Josh continued to take her down the aisle.
Of course Evelyn panicked a little, and several times looked back to see if Eric followed her or let himself walk with Josh. But Eric followed.
Josh takes Evelyn up the stairs to a rooftop. Thank goodness Eric followed them. Arriving there, then Josh realized because he had just pulled Evelyn's hand.
The man immediately walked towards the perimeter wall. He stared at the vast ocean, then took out a pack of cigarettes and a match. He lit the cigarette and began to smoke it.
Evelyn did not flinch. He just stared straight at the man who was currently sitting on the wall. Then a little looked at Eric who was standing away from him. I don't know, he doesn't know what to do now either.
"Aren't you the one who eavesdropped on us last night, Evelyn?" suddenly Josh asked, and made Evelyn half in a panic. "No need to lie. Because I'm sure it's you" he continued.
Evelyn swallowed her forced saliva–. Inevitably he must admit and be honest, even though he himself does not know what Josh will do later. "But I didn't mean to eavesdrop. Just accidentally heard."
"Don't tell Daddy or Mommy anything. If you don't want to get punished. Eric probably told you, right?" Josh turned to the assistant with a grin.
"Ckhus! I thought you were gonna talk, Eric," he said.
"Sorry Mister. Miss Evelyn asked, and I only answered her a little," said Eric, with a lowered head.
Josh breathed a rough sigh. "Because you already know, then I'll tell you a little bit about me. I don't like someone who lies, let alone a complainant. So, if you want to be safe, then you can't talk to my parents" Josh said.
"For last night's conversation between me and Eric, you don't have to be afraid of overdoing it. I won't kill you just because of this forced marriage, unless you're really going to complain. And... Maybe this is the question you want to ask the most. Is my family a mafia family? Answer, right. It's just that I'm not free to enter the organization that Daddy's holding. That's why I built my own business empire under Daddy's knowledge. Why did I tell you. Never mind, that's all I can say," he continued.
Evelyn glued. He was trying to digest what Josh had just said. I don't know so far what Evelyn has always done is survive and make money to eat everyday. He never thought to know the ins and outs of that dark organization. He only heard it from the people around him, and nothing more.
"Do you understand, Evelyn?! Why don't you chim in on what I just said?" josh asked with clashed brows and a sharp look.
"I–iya, yes. I understand, I'm not gonna tell all this to your parents. I promise you," Evelyn said with a wave.
"good. Oh, one more. Don't you think I'm the little guy chasing Sarah" he said with a grin.
Evelyn simply nodded and did not dare to answer anymore.
"Go away. Go into Daddy's room and get acquainted with my brother. I still have business with Eric" Josh ordered later.
Hearing that, Evelyn nodded and immediately walked away. "Not soiled what? Wasn't he himself intoxicated, huh!" sneer Evelyn softly.
