Only when Henry appeared did Evelyn remember that the senior elder had a granddaughter trained abroad to be the prospective matriarch of The Wilson family. Unfortunately, when they tried to push her onto Henry, he rejected her.
Evelyn’s voice was calm and gentle, but with each word, the senior elder’s heart felt like it was being stomped on ruthlessly. After speaking, Evelyn turned back to Henry and stuck out her tongue playfully.
Henry’s raised his hand and patted her head, saying, “Well done.”
Proudly, Evelyn tilted her head up, “Of course, I can’t let you lose face.”
Then they two of them left…
“What did he just say? Well done?” The senior elder fumed, staring wide-eyed. “Hmph, this is your wonderful grandson…”
“I’ll give you seven days. If you can’t resolve the matter with that woman, I’ll release the ‘Silent Reapers’. At that time, don’t blame me for being heartless.”
The senior elder left with his entourage.
Old Mr. Wilson, who remained in his seat, appeared as though he had received news too unbearable to bear. He sat there in a daze, his visage weary, and hollow eyes filled with fear. If the head elder unleashes the ‘Silent Reapers,’ Henry will be utterly ruined…
…
At the family banquet, those who received the news paid close attention to the movements upstairs.
“I heard that Old Mr. Wilson invited the family elders this time. Everyone knows the senior elder doesn’t tolerate any opposition. That woman is doomed…”
“How is that possible? Boss dotes on that woman so much…”
“Don’t be so naive. Even if he spoils her, she’s just a woman. The boss won’t confront the authority of the family for a woman.”
As the last person spoke, they saw Evelyn, holding hands with Henry, gracefully entering the venue.
Everyone stared in shock at the black onyx ring on Evelyn’s hand.
“Ring… Mistress’s Ring. Boss actually gave Mistress’s Ring to that woman.”
“How could a woman like her control half of The Wilson family? It’s over; The Wilson family is in big trouble.”
The crowd exchanged glances, especially those who had offended Evelyn, their faces looking somewhat unpleasant.
Previously, even if Evelyn stood in the position of the matriarch, she had no real power and was not valued by The Wilson family. But with this ring, Evelyn truly gained the right to rule over half of The Wilson family. Who wouldn’t be wary?
…
After enduring unfriendly glances throughout the night, Evelyn wearily returned to the villa.
Henry went to take a shower, so she stood on the balcony, letting the cold wind keep her alert.
Taking this ring felt like having two huge mountains pressing on her shoulders.
In her previous life, she had also held this ring, but she treated it as a tool to help William without truly understanding its real significance.
Now, things were different. She had Henry, their shared home, and they will have children in the future…
Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the ringing of her phone.
Old Mr. Wilson’s impatient voice came through, “Evelyn, within three days, you must leave Henry.”
Coincidentally, the bathroom door opened.
Evelyn turned around, met Henry’s deep gaze. He frowned, gaze shifting to the phone pressed against her ear.
Old Mr. Wilson, on the other end of the call, also heard the movement. He whispered a threat, “Don’t let Henry know I’m contacting you.”
“Oh!” Evelyn teased, “It’s Grandpa, threatening me to leave you within three days.”
Henry’s expression suddenly darkened.
Old Mr. Wilson, hearing Evelyn indirectly exposing him. It took him a while to regain composure. “Evelyn, if the senior elder releases ‘Silent Reapers’, and you ruin Henry, I won’t let you off.”
Listening to the busy tone on the other end of the call, Evelyn’s spine stiffened slightly.
What was ‘Silent Reapers’? Was it dangerous? If released, what risks would Henry face?
In her contemplation, Henry was already standing behind her.
“What was ‘Silent Reapers'” She asked.
“It’s nothing. Don’t be afraid. We will always be together.” His broad arms enveloped Evelyn in a comforting embrace.
Evelyn looked up at him, suddenly feeling like Henry was the one who was afraid. Whatever it is, nothing can stop them from being together.
Without saying a word, she put down her phone and tightly wrapped her arms around him.
“Don’t worry. We’ll always be together.”
Evelyn stood on tiptoe, approached him, and gently kissed his lips, her hands continuing their descent… When her small hands touched his warmth, all reason disappeared from his mind.
She yanked the towel off his waist. Then she smoothed her hands up and down his lap, caressing him. He was so big that she could barely grab hold of him full.
She knelt down and brought his cap to her lips, encircling it around and making him groan in enjoyable pleasure.
