Chapter 159: Shocked

Rose didn’t spend much time in her room. After a few minutes, she returned in the simple clothes she usually wears at home. But when she arrived in the living room, she didn’t see her mother, only Evan, who was focused on watching the news on TV. His face was so serious till he didn’t notice her presence.

Curious about the news, Rose glanced at the TV screen and was surprised to see the TV showing the presidential election candidates being announced. Rose knows who will win this presidential election; Jayson Spencer, father of Sean Spencer, her savior.

Rose is increasingly amazed by the Spencer family. They are so influential in this country’s military, politics, and economy.

Thinking about Spencer, reminded Rose of an appointment with sister Amanda Spencer who had called her several times just to confirm their meeting. Amanda Spencer had a different personality from most rich girls. Usually, they will not randomly make friends with anyone. But Amanda Spencer is different, she has an approachable personality, which made Rose comfortable to chat with her and now they became close to each other even though they had only met once.

"Your uncle is running for president? What are his chances?" Rose asks as she sits beside Evan.

"Well, I’m not interested in politics, and I don’t really care about his chances."

"I think your uncle will definitely win the election." Rose nonchalantly said. Then, before Evan could reply, she directly continued, "Where’s my mom?"

Evan frowned at Rose, taken aback by what she just said about his uncle. Still, after seeing her smile, he knew this girl was just saying random political stuff and wasn’t really interested in politics. He turned off the television and stood up from his seat.

"Mother went downstairs to the minimart. She asked you to eat your breakfast...." Evan took Rose’s hand and led her to the dining table. "Hungry? Eat your breakfast, this is almost lunch, and you haven’t eaten anything yet. You might get sick..."

Rose only saw a breakfast set on the table. "Have you had breakfast?" Rose asked Evan, who was already sitting beside her. This morning he was so handsome that she couldn’t look at him for too long, afraid she’d be mesmerized by his charms again.

"Hmm... yeah, I have breakfast, my lovely late owl. I had breakfast at eight in the morning with your mother." Said Evan with a funny face, trying to mock Rose.

"Then why did you not wake me up before going upstairs?" Rose looked at him as she swallowed her warm soup. She is still not happy because this man did not wake her up.

"I was about to, but I couldn’t. You look so peaceful and goddess-like beautiful in your sleep. How could I wake you up when you sleep like that? Nah, I can’t do that. I’m not that strong...."

Rose was speechless hearing his flattering words. Don’t want to provoke this man any further, she continued her breakfast. Still, before she could finish her soup, suddenly, Evan pulled her chair closer to him. What he was doing right now was able to make her heart shake. Unexpectedly her heart beat faster than usual.

The shock hadn’t gone away with his sudden act. Rose felt his big hand touch her chin and gently forced her to look at his face. She was stunned. Their faces are so close as their eyes lock on each other. She was mesmerized looking at his eyes. His face drew closer as he leaned toward her. Too close till she can feel his warm breath brush her face.

"W-What will he do?" She mumbled in her heart, trying to figure out his next move. Then suddenly she could guess this man may kiss her. What did he think?

She was nervous, not because this man wanted to kiss her, but because right now they were in the dining room and her mother could show up at any time. And when she saw his eyes, she was stunned. She had never seen his eyes lit up like a fire in them.

Evan stared at the girl and called her in his seductive low voice, "Wifey...."

"Hmm..." Rose’s voice caught in her throat. Too nervous about their strange position. Her back slightly leans back with her face up, looking at him. His hand holds her back and his head just a few inches above her face. Anyone who looks at their seductive posture can tell what will happen next.

Rose closed her eyes slowly as she felt Evan’s soft and warm lips touch her lips. But the kiss was too short. She felt unhappy with Evan’s move; After he rummaged through her calm heart, this man suddenly stopped!? He just pecked her lips? Gosh!

"You should breathe now!" Evan playfully smiled as he pulled back her head and straightened to sit on his chair. He felt in a good mood when he saw Rose’s flaming face.

Too embarrassed by the sudden kiss, Rose lowered her head to continue her breakfast as her mind was busy planning an act of revenge on this man. Gosh! It’s still early, but this guy is already teasing her!? She was annoyed.

"Evan Collins! I’ll get my revenge on you." A playful smile framed her face as she made a promise in her heart.

Evan cleared his throat before saying, "What are you going to do today?"

Rose lifted her head to look at Evan, feeling much calmer, "I’ll just stay home with mom. But, if she wants to go somewhere, then I will accompany her. How about you? You look dashing. Do you have an appointment this morning?"

"Yes! Professor Liam knows I’m back, so he asks to meet me for lunch. If only you could go with me, it would be more fun..."

"I hope so. But, you know the reason I came here? I need to talk to mom and comfort her..."

"I know. You should tell mom not to overthink anything. I will always be here for you and her. I promise I will take care of both of you...." Evan stroked Rose’s back gently, trying to comfort her. He knew this girl was still worried about her mother.
