Spoil My Sweet Window

Chapter 25

The Evans family wasn’t as wealthy and powerful as the White family, but it was also a rich and famous family living in a villa built on a mountain. Their car had to go on a meandering path toward the top of the mountain. The three people inside the car stayed silent all the time.

Antony got out of the car first, striding into the villa on his long legs. He didn’t even care about Crystal behind. Obviously, he was still angry.

The crystal chandelier illuminated the entire living room. Eva was waiting for them there. As their stepmother, she didn’t dare to slack off. She had always treated them carefully to earn their favor.

Seeing Antony, she quickly stepped forward and asked with concern, “Antony, how was it going? Madam White didn’t say anything nasty, did she?”

“Hmph, how could she say nothing? But I brough Crystal back.” Antony sat on the sofa, placing his long legs that crossed at the ankles on the coffee table. “I really don’t understand why Mother wanted to have a marriage engagement with the White family.”

Eva didn’t know what to say. “The engagement was not made with Madam White. Your Mother had made that engagement with Harold’s mother. They were best friends for so many years, and they wanted their children to marry each other. Unfortunately, Madam White doesn’t like Harold’s mother. That’s why she also hates your Mother. Don’t be mad at her.”

The Evans family had thought of this, so they didn’t want to send Dora to the White family. After all, Harold’s mother was dead, and the whole White family was in the hands of that old lady. Dora would be bullied to death if she married into that family.

“Eva, we’re back.” Dora walked in and wrapped her arms around Eva’s arm intimately. “You had to wait for us again.”

Eva said with a smile, “Why shouldn’t I wait for you? When I knew that you guys were heading to the White family, I was so worried. Madam White is a fierce person, isn’t she? Did she bully you?” “No, there were many people at that time. They couldn’t go too far.” Dora said, “Now that Master White is dead and the White family has lost their backbone, they have to restrain themselves.” Eva nodded with relief and ordered the maid, “I cooked soup. Please bring the soup over. Dora, you and your brother can have soup now.”

“Nah, I’m not going to have it. I’ve gained a lot of weight. I can’t even put on my dress anymore,” Dora acted like a spoiled child.

For more than a decade, the Evans family must have been like this. Crystal suddenly felt that she was so isolated. She stood at the door like a lost puppy.

Seeing her standing there, Eva’s face turned indifferent. “Crystal, your father has gone to the company to deal with his business. Tomorrow, he will put you in the family’s record. You can go to your room first.”

Crystal replied with a short ‘yeah.”

Dora took the initiative to take care of her. “Let me take you to your room. I’m afraid you’ll get lost.”

“Let me take her upstairs.” Antony suddenly stood up and swept his gaze across Crystal then Dora. “Go back to your room and rest early.”

Dora felt a chill in her heart. Jealousy was burning in her eyes. Still, her face was gentle like a spring breeze. “Well, Antony, don’t lose your temper again. Crystal is timid. Don’t make her cry.”

Hearing the hidden meaning in her words, Eva asked, “Did they quarrel?”

“Yes, I don’t know how to persuade him. I guess they’re not familiar with each other yet.” Crystal frowned, “Antony often loses his temper at Crystal. As we’re living together, I hope they can ease the tension soon. After all, they’re related by blood.”

Eva thought about it for a while. Previously, because Crystal was the real daughter of the Evans family, it was not easy for her to cross the line. And now, it seemed that Antony hated this sister very much. If even Antony hated her, the other two brothers would certainly not like her, either.

She already knew what she should do. She didn’t have to be too polite to Crystal anymore. Antony walked to Crystal with his hands in his pockets. “Why aren’t you going yet?”

Crystal was irritated when she saw Antony. But if she did not go with him, she would get lost. After thinking for a while, she decided to go with him. Unexpectedly, when they got to the courtyard, Antony stopped her.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
