The Mansion, under the dark night, was quiet and peaceful.
Eva waited upon Old Master until he had finished his medicinal meals. She had no intention of leaving Old Master's bedroom.
"Eva, you've been tired all day. Go back to your room and have a rest."
Old Master's loving voice made Yen dote on him.
Eva could really feel it: Elder was treating her like family, which moved him a lot.
She was an orphan and didn't know who her parents were. She grew up in the welfare home muddleheadedly and only regarded Dean as her only relative. However, Dean couldn't be Eva's only mother. She was the mother of all orphans in the welfare home.
"Grandpa, I'm not tired... I'll read books and poems for you, okay?"
He was obviously tired, but Yen did not want to go back to his room.
"You are not tired, but Grandpa is tired! Ah ha... Grandpa is going to sleep!"
Somehow, tonight's Elder was more sleepy than usual, and he kept urging Eva to go back to her room to sleep.
"Then go to sleep, Grandpa. I'll stay by your side and wait for you. I won't say a word."
Eva took a collection of poems and walked to the lounge chair. He thought that he would have to stay on the lounge chair for the night.
"Eva, I know you love grandpa, and you are filial. But only if you take care of yourself, can you take care of grandpa better! Be good, listen to me, and go back to your room to rest! If you stay up all night like this, grandpa will feel sorry for you."
Old man persuasion skills were indeed long-lasting and meaningful. He'd still spent almost ninety years in this mundane world, and it was a piece of cake for him to persuade Eva, who didn't know the ways of the world, to leave him behind.
Yen did not want to linger in his room any longer after hearing Old Master's words. Fearing that she might be suspected, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk toward his room.
Eva's room was arranged on the west side of the same floor as Old Master's, which was also convenient for her to take care of Old Master.
Outside the door of the room, Yen did not move forward. He seemed to think that she was not opening her bedroom, but a horrible area where monsters appeared.
After a long moment of silence, Yen did not close the door and enter until he gritted his teeth.
Therefore, she saw a person she didn't want to see at all-Gavin.
Moreover, Gavin was really lying on her lap, with his legs crossed. He looked more like a real master than a real master.
Without a doubt, Eva's room was the safest. It was the best hiding place for Gavin to sneak in!
"Eva, why are you back so late? Hurry up and go to the kitchen to get me something to eat. I'm starving to death!"
Gavin flipped through a dancing magazine, and at the same time, he ate the remaining biscuits of Eva reluctantly.
Gavin, don't go too far! I'm here to serve Grandfather, not you!"
Eva could not stand Gavin's arrogance at all. He looked as if he was treating himself as an adult.
"What are you talking about? I'm so hungry!. Didn't I ask you to help me get something to eat in the kitchen? Don't you have a little pity and sympathy?"
Gavin was a little displeased at Eva's impoliteness.
"You can't go to the kitchen to get food yourself! The Mansion is your home, not my home!"
It was not a big deal to let an outsider like her go to the kitchen to ask for food from one of the hosts.
"Can you use your brain? I'm secretly climbing over the wall and sneaking in now. If I'm discovered by others, I'm going to be driven out!"
Gavin's reason was really high-sounding.
"Anyway, didn't you see that Grandpa Bai was safe? What's the matter if he was kicked out?"
Eva was still unwilling to obey and go to the kitchen to get Gavin some food.
"Eva, you're deliberately setting yourself against me, aren't you? You know that the old man can't get angry. If he finds out that I've secretly climbed over the wall, he'll be so angry that he'll lose half his life, won't he?"
He put the last biscuit into his mouth, chewed it, and said, "I know you hate me! But that is really a coincidence! It did harm to you, but I sincerely apologize to you. Yen, can you be a little more generous? Don't haggle over what I've done, scum and social people."
Eva glared at Gavin angrily and said, "You are quite self-aware! You still know that you are a scum or a scum!"
"Gavin, I accept what you said! Just think of the moment when I suddenly became mentally ill. Even if you really sue me in the court, you can't sentence me, a psychopath, to death, right? As long as you don't care about my fault, a contemptible villain, I will repay you no matter what I do in the future!"
'It wasn't bad for Gavin to be so glib-tongued. He managed to swiftly render Eva speechless.
"Please, for the sake of the fact that I am about to be starved to death, go to the kitchen and find me something to eat! Even if it's just a bowl of white porridge, it's okay!"
Such a low-profile way of asking for mercy really touched Eva.
"Then, wait a minute."
"Thank you very much! I know that you are a kind-hearted woman!" Gavin was glib again.
He looked at Eva who turned around and went to the kitchen to find food for him. Once again, Gavin fell down on the bouncy.
There was such an adorkable woman staying in the Mansion and being teased by him every day. This life was quite interesting!
When Eva came into the big kitchen of the family, Steward was also there.
She immediately felt embarrassed because she had already had dinner with Elder.
"Hungry? Haha, I really envy the good appetite of young people like you! Alas, at our age, it's not good for you to have a good sleep. You have suffered a lot! What do you want to eat? I'll ask the cook to make it for you."
Mr. easy-going attitude made Eva feel much more relaxed. But she really didn't know what Gavin liked to eat.
"Whatever... A bowl of plain porridge will do!"
She was the one who said that she wanted to drink plain porridge. She was just using it as a messenger.
"Porridge? How can Bai porridge taste like this? Why don't we have a French- style red-flour beef and rice porridge! My young master likes them the most!"
After Butler finished his words, he was also stunned. "Isn't this a serious secret?"
But this was not difficult for the battle- hardened Steward Bai. He immediately pulled a long face and sighed,
"Unfortunately, my master really has a fight with my young master this time! I'm afraid that I can't get along with my master in a short time! A lot of my young master's favorite food is prepared in the refrigerator. It's a pity that it's wasted. Miss Yen, don't dislike it and just eat it."
One had to say, every single member of the family was extremely talented in performing. They had tricked Eva, who was both innocent and kind-hearted, until he started to stare blankly.
