She couldn't be taken to Sterling Manor. She didn't even know her name yet!
It was too rude.
Besides, when she entered the house, everyone would know her. It would be even harder to remember so many people then. And she had face blindness. It was better to get to know them one by one from now on.
“Young madam, my name is Lily Thompson. I’m usually responsible for the cleaning of Sterling Manor.” Lily introduced herself.
“Ah?” Evelyn froze.
It couldn't be such a coincidence. Speak of the devil.
She had just heard about Alexander’s affair with Lily. Now the woman was standing right in front of her.
“Young madam, is something wrong?” Lily smiled and stared at Evelyn.
“Nothing!” Evelyn replied awkwardly.
Actually, she was quite curious about Lily and Alexander. It was a typical legendary love story between a maid and the young master. According to Emily’s way of thinking. It was just a thrilling love story!
Lily smiled and didn’t ask any more questions.
As Evelyn walked, she thought. What was the right reaction for her to face Lily now? After all, it felt a bit like a wife meeting the other woman.
Well, she wasn’t a good wife. And Lily wasn’t the other woman. Besides, this Lily didn’t look like the other woman!
Well, the other woman wouldn’t write “I am the other woman” on her face.
Alas, she seemed to be overthinking again!
Evelyn stopped her wishful thinking. They arrived at Sterling Manor.
“Young madam, we’re here. If you need anything, you can tell me. You can find me by calling extension 1006.” Lily said softly.
“Okay, thank you, Lily!” Evelyn replied with a smile.
She thought it was 1006, not 10086. Otherwise, she would be dialing customer service.
After Lily walked away, Evelyn entered the room. Instead of going upstairs for a lunch break, she sat on the sofa in the living room. She waited for Alexander to come back and pick her up.
After sitting for more than half an hour, she felt a little bored. She went upstairs directly. She sat in front of the windowsill on the second floor. She took out her textbook and looked at it. During this time, she could review and enjoy the scenery.
She couldn't help but admire her foresight. She remembered to bring the book out when she went out. Otherwise, it would be so boring right now.
Evelyn read half of the book and suddenly exclaimed.
No. Alexander was gay. How could he have an affair with Lily!
It seemed the accuracy of this rumor was too low. Otherwise, Alexander deliberately used Lily to cover up his gay identity. It was the same as marrying her home.
The more Evelyn thought about it, the more excited she became. She felt she was too smart. It was like solving a big case. She admired her intelligence and logical reasoning ability.
When Alexander came back, he saw Evelyn sitting in front of the windowsill on the second floor. As he approached, he heard her humming.
The snail was carrying the heavy shell, climbing up step by step!
She was in a good mood.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Evelyn fell silent. She turned around and looked at the stairway. After a while, she saw Alexander coming upstairs.
“You’re done so quickly.” Evelyn asked in surprise.
“Fortunately, it’s three o’clock now!” Alexander came over and said. Seeing Evelyn with a book in her hand, he asked, “No nap?”
“Not sleepy, just reading. Do you know who I met before?” Evelyn asked with a smile, holding the book. Her face was full of gossip.
Gossip was contagious.
“Ethan?” Alexander sat down beside Evelyn and asked.
“No! It’s a beautiful woman!” Evelyn said excitedly.
“Do I know her?”
“Of course, she brought me to Sterling Manor.”
“Lily?” Alexander asked again.
“How did you guess?” Evelyn was surprised.
Alexander touched Evelyn’s head and said, “I don’t think anyone else can come here!” Looking at Evelyn’s eyes, he clearly said, “Can you ask something technical?”
“No wonder!” Evelyn shrank back and said.
Alas, she wanted to keep Alexander in suspense for a while. But he guessed it right away.
“How did Lily bring you here?” Alexander asked.
“I came from the main house and got lost as I walked. When I met Lily, she brought me here.”
“In your own home, you can get lost. If you say you go out in the future, it’s safer for me to install a GPS on you.” Alexander sighed.
“It’s no exaggeration. I just have a poor sense of direction. I’m not a fool. I can’t find my way home.” Evelyn replied with a wry smile.
Before that, someone took her. She didn’t pay attention to finding the way. Otherwise, she wouldn’t get lost!
Alexander looked at Evelyn with a smile. He didn’t refute her.
Evelyn was a little embarrassed by Alexander’s gaze. She picked up the book to block his sight.
The next second, she suddenly thought of something. Last time, Alexander helped her review. She did very well on the test.
Should she do the same thing this time?
So she put down her hand and looked at Alexander with a smile.
“What’s the matter?” Alexander asked, seeing Evelyn’s eyes.
“Are you free this afternoon?” Evelyn asked.
“Say it!” Alexander said simply.
“If you have time, help me review this course!” Evelyn waved the textbook and said sincerely.
“Review by yourself!” Alexander glanced at her and replied.
“Oh!” Evelyn pouted. She drew back her body. She was a little disappointed.
Alexander got up and walked away. Evelyn had to bow her head and continue reading.
It was better to review by herself! Although the effect was not as good as Alexander’s, it was okay. Otherwise, how did she get the scholarship a few years ago!
But Evelyn hadn’t read a few pages before the book was taken away. She looked up. She saw Alexander sitting beside her with her book.
“Make me a cup of tea. I’ll look through it first.” Alexander answered lightly.
“Oh!” Evelyn was stunned for a few seconds before reacting. She immediately began to boil water and make tea.
Alexander meant to help her review!
While making tea, Evelyn looked up at Alexander from time to time. How could Alexander be so smart! After he flipped through the book, he knew where the key points were. He was so accurate in grasping the topic! He was just the legendary top student, the test god!
“Ah --” Evelyn exclaimed the next second.
Alexander raised his head. He saw Evelyn looking at him innocently with her finger in her mouth.
“Hot?”
Evelyn shook her head in embarrassment. She absolutely did not admit that she was just looking at Alexander. She was so absorbed that she poured boiling water on her finger.
Alexander put down the textbook. He pulled out Evelyn’s finger.
Evelyn said, “Actually, my hands are very beautiful!”
Alexander was stunned for a moment. He looked up at Evelyn.
Evelyn could only smile foolishly. She didn’t know what she was talking about. According to normal people’s thinking, it was just a momentary brain freeze!
“It’s okay!” Alexander let go of Evelyn’s hand. He picked up the book and continued to flip through it.
Evelyn didn’t dare to be distracted anymore. She made the tea and poured two cups.
“Come here!” Alexander said at this time.
Evelyn obediently walked over. She sat down beside Alexander.
