Flirted Wrong, Married Right

Chapter 603: Doubtful Intentions

Back at the Sinclair Family’s old house, Yara Reagan and Evelyn Clayton were accompanying Pauline Warren in the kitchen, making desserts.The living room was filled with a sweet, milky aroma, which Shane Sinclair didn’t particularly like, so he held his breath slightly.

As he approached the kitchen, Shane heard Yara telling a joke, making Pauline giggle.

After Yara finished, Evelyn started telling a story with her distinct, cool voice.

Shane paused at the doorway, silently listening for a while.

"—and then the little squirrel angrily said, I was the little white rabbit yesterday."

Hearing the punchline, Shane couldn’t help but smile.

Pauline laughed even more joyfully, unable to stop herself; the cheerful atmosphere in the kitchen was infectious, and Shane felt incredibly relieved.

Keeping Evelyn Clayton here under irresistible terms was the right choice; it had been a long time since he heard Pauline laugh like this.

However—

Shane thought of the document in the email, his eyes showing contemplation.ell you that I dislike being threatened?"

Facing Evelyn’s calm and smiling gaze, Shane raised his eyebrows slightly.

For the first time, he seriously looked at this seemingly frail, ethereal woman.

"You’re nothing like what I imagined," Shane said slowly, "You said yesterday you didn’t want what I offered, I thought you would ask for more... but you surprised me again."

Evelyn’s document only listed one condition.

"Help her find out the cause of her father’s death, and if necessary, the Sinclair family should assist her."

This condition was exceedingly simple.

Shane could fulfill this condition with just a flick of his fingers.

But the simpler it was, the more suspicious he became of Evelyn’s intentions.
