Chapter 252: I’m Sorry!

"Where was an invisibility cloak when needed?" As Evangeline stood at the door, she wished that the garment would simply appear in her hand, and she could disappear. For almost an hour, she’d been hiding outside Eleanora’s mansion waiting for that snitch to leave so that she could come and talk to her.

And finally, after almost losing all her blood to mosquitoes, when that Lily had left, she’d rushed inside, only to stumble upon this cozy scene. Maybe she could be blessed with a time turning machine... She’d go back a few minutes in time... Before she touched the cursed door.

Flustered she tried to apologize, "I’m sorry. I did not mean to... it was something... just continue, please. I’ll wait.. no I won’t wait. I’ll come by later. Or not. Whatever."

Dam* it! Even her apology sounded like her software had malfunctioned.

Nora giggled at Evangeline’s hurried words, though the girl made no move at all to go. Jumping off Demetri’s lap, Nora spoke up, "Its alright. We were just chatting about the importance of fertilizers. Please come in."

Evangeline felt caught between the desire to escape and the need to ask questions which had brought her here. She glanced at the man behind her before looking to her little sister. At least they did not look too put off by her interruption. Though she was sure that Demetri Frost was plotting her murder right at this moment.

With a last glance in his direction, she said," Uhh. It’s alright. I can go... You guys can continue whatever it was you were doing."

That said, Evangelie continued to stare at Eleanora and Demetri expectantly while the two stared back at her, unsure of what was going on.

Helplessly, Nora exchanged an amused glance with Demetri, wondering what to do in this situation. Her husband, however, had no sympathy for the flustered girl. He raised an eyebrow and spoke nonchalantly," Thank you for your consideration, Princess Evangeline. Would you be watching us? If you are interested in joining us then I would have to refuse though..."

"Huh? Oh.... Ohh..." Realizing that she’d asked them to continue with their snuggling while still standing there, she turned even more red if that was possible and stumbled backwards.

Nora shook her head and quickly grabbed Evangeline’s hand, before the girl made a total mess of herself. She’d had enough of the Frost brothers for the day.

"Just sit here, Evangeline." Pulling her towards the couch, Nora had her sit down before she turned to look at Demetri imploringly. Shaking his head, Demetri sighed and answered," The downsides of having cousins... We had five lightbulbs¹ as it is. There is going to be one more... or two."

Nora giggled at that while Evangeline looked on in confusion. Had they been discussing lightbulbs before she barged in here? Once Demetri had left, closing the door behind him, Evangeline once again spoke apologetically," I am extremely sorry. I’ve never been so thoughtless in the past. I don’t know what happened to me. Demetri must be really angry. The two of you were together after so long and I interrupted your moment. I’ll just go and apologize..."

Nora shook her head," He’s not angry. So, Evangeline, what did you want to talk about?"

"Are you sure? He looked angry..."

"Nah. That wasn’t his angered look. He was quite amused."

"Huh?" Evangeline thought that certainly did not look like his amused face but refrained from commenting. She’d already added to her list of faux pas today. What was one more in that?

"I’m sorry for this morning." She blurted out.

Nora blinked in response to the latest apology, her eyes wide with amusement. "Evangeline, are you on a marathon of apologies tonight? If that is the case, then I declare you the winner, so no more apologizing...unless you have sore sort of an apology addiction..."

Evangeline opened her mouth, to apologize again before shutting it. "Thanks. I’m a bit lost today. Too many things happened suddenly. Eleanora, you can call me Evana."

"And you must call me Nora. That is my official name." Nora murmured slowly.

Evangeline nodded slowly before looking down at her hands," I.. I don’t know what to say. First off, let me say that I am really happy that your memory has returned. Secondly, I know about your experiences with Lara Anderson and her daughter. I’m really sorry for what you have suffered through."

Nora smiled," Its all in the past. So, what did you want to talk about?"

Evangeline looked away before turning back to Nora, " I think you can guess. It’s about Lucifer."

Nora giggled at that. "Lucifer?"

Evangeline shook her head before nodding," I mean Lucien. Is he..."

"Is he what?", Nora asked. Of course she knew the question Evangeline wanted to ask but seeing the girl being all shy when she had been pretending to play a splendid white lotus all these months felt simply too good. Ha! This was her punishment for all those snide remarks...

Evangeline, unexpectedly, did not repeat the question but instead rolled her eyes at her," You are enjoying this too much! Don’t think I missed what you said about popcorn earlier."

Nora giggled loudly at that, her barely contained laughter spilling out," But it was too cute. You are too cute."

Evangeline stared at her and smiled at the infectious laughter before commenting," I knew it! All little sisters are so irritating! I thought it was only Dora who got on my nerves because she is too young. But you are older than her and you are just as irritating! I should have had a brother instead of two younger sisters. At least then I would have been able to beat him up."

As Evangeline shook her head in mock exasperation, Nora sat there in stunned silence. Was it so easy to have a sister? But Evana had said it so naturally. It kind of reminded her of the way the Frosties treated her. Her eyes moistening, she quickly hugged Evangeline, to overcome with emotion to say anything more.
