Loret Empire Capital City, Ceru Restaurant.
Right inside a private room of the Ceru Restaurant sat two female figures.
One of the women is with silky green hair that was tied loosely towards her back. Her eyes were pure black, and her lips were crimson. She looked unquestionably mature in terms of body figure.
The other woman’s appearance was celestial, to say the least. She possessed almond purple eyes and rosy lips which perfectly sculpted her face. Her wavy long blonde hair was draped over her shoulders and her back.
She looked entirely young, like a flower in the process of budding, utterly beautiful.
These two were none other than the mature beauty, Evelynn and the number one publically proclaimed beauty of the Loret Empire, Clara.
In between both of them was a table, filled with delicacies and drinks.
Clara took a cup and swirled it in her hands as she looked at Evelynn.
Evelynn looked visibly uncomfortable sitting in front of Clara’s piercing gaze.
She thought back to the sudden invitation of her sister-in-law, and she couldn’t figure out why this happened out of all things.
[
In the Royal Castle, Davis’s Room.
Evelynn was minding her own business when suddenly she heard a knock.
She opened the door and saw Clara.
Instantly, joy spread all over face "Congratulations Clara! I heard you cleared the trial! I feel so proud of you!"
Clara looked visibly taken aback for a second, yet her face remained cold.
"I’ve got something to ask and inform you, follow me to the Ceru Restaurant..."
"Clara, what’s the matter..." Evelynn looked visibly confused and was just about to invite her in instead of following her to Ceru Restaurant.
Then she instantly realized and stopped inviting her into the room.
Not once, not once has Clara entered this room after Davis left. Evelynn recalled that fact and choose to respect her wishes.
]
’And I’m here...’ Evelynn inwardly cried.
This scenario reminded her of what once Davis said about the home ground and away ground concept.
She realized that she had stepped into that away ground, and buried herself into a disadvantage.
’I want to go back...’ Just when her thoughts traveled in this direction, she heard Clara’s voice.
"Sorry for the trouble... Evelynn."
"No, it’s my pleasure..." Evelynn ended up replying politely and realized that she was not in the wrong.
She inwardly hit herself on the head and scolded herself, ’What are you doing? Being scared of your sister-in-law... If he knew, he would surely be disappointed in me!’
"I just called you here to verify a matter..."
"What is it, Clara? You’ve already asked me everything you could in these few years, what else is left?" Evelynn wryly asked.
Whenever she was with Clara, she would be bombarded with questions.
Clara, for one thing, didn’t seem to know about the concept of privacy and personal space. She curiously questioned everything in front of her life, like a curious yet cunning cat.
"Do you sincerely love brother?"
"Are you a virgin?"
"What’s your age?"
"Why are you so weak?"
"Have you been in love with someone else?"
These kind of questions left Evelynn scarred for life. The fear of being questioned like this had been deeply embedded inside her.
Even though she had nothing to fear, being questioned like this or being seen through never sat well with her.
She felt no woman would want their thoughts to be peeked at!
Clara was not hurried. She took a sip and placed down the cup on the table but her expression changed.
"Have you done it with brother?"
"What? No!" Evelynn was shocked but instantly replied.
Clara blinked slightly, her cheeks dyed pink. She took the cup in her hands and sipped again as she adjusted her hair.
Even Evelynn felt mesmerized for a second before narrowing her eyes, "What kind of information are you asking, Clara? These are not matters a girl your age should think about! If your brother were to learn about this, he would be very disappointed."
And as expected, Clara’s cold face finally showed hints of trembling.
After years of interacting with Clara, Evelynn had already found the magical words that could drive a wedge to her icy expression.
Even so, she had never used this to her advantage unless she really got angry.
"You! I am worrying about you! Do you know that brother has two-timed you!" Clara gritted her teeth and said with a wronged expression on her face.
"Two-timed..." Evelynn’s expression went slack before she shouted at Clara, "You mean he had an affair with another woman?!"
Clara nodded her head.
Evelynn stood up in shock but then turned a little confused.
How? How could Clara know that Davis had an affair with another woman when he was in the First Layer.
Then suddenly, a certain woman’s figure flashed past in her mind, and that person was also with Clara for some time.
Once she thought of it like this, her expression turned a little silly, "Clara, could it be that you’re talking about Princess Shirley?"
Clara nodded her head, "Hmm, it’s Sister Shirley."
Evelynn gently sat down, letting out a wry laugh, ’Of course, it is her. if it wasn’t her, who else could it be...’
"You asked questions about her personal life?" Evelynn knew that Shirley and Clara were traveling together, so it was unavoidable for Clara to be curious, and not ask about something personal.
"Hmm, she said my brother had once kissed her and my eyes perceived it as true..."
Evelynn promptly understood, "Clara, it’s a misunderstanding, you just heard half of it and not the complete story."
"Is it?" Clara turned confused.
"Yes, you can stop speculating about your brother’s life. He did that to save her life."
Hearing that, Clara turned even more confused, "A kiss can cure a person?"
Evelynn’s smile went stiff, "As I said, you did not hear the complete story."
"Hmm, I believe you..." Clara nodded as her eyes flashed. Her eyes told her that Evelynn was truthful, so she accepted her explanation.
With this, the doubt she had was also cleared. Her brother was not promiscuous like she had initially thought after hearing the matter from Shirley.
"But that doesn’t explain why you asked if I did ’that’ with your brother? What’s your real reason for asking that question, Clara?" Evelynn asked gently as if she was asking her own little sister.
Clara put her head down as she blushed and the atmosphere turned silent.
