My face flushed red with embarrassment as I pulled back the collar that Liz had been gripping.
Evan’s eyes darkened, and after realizing what happened, he turned around and looked away.
The nanny beside us was also extremely embarrassed and hurried to help me adjust my clothes.
I had never exposed my body like this in front of any man other than Ferris…
Especially since this person was Ferris’s good friend.
I felt even more uncomfortable.
After I had straightened my clothes, I said with an expression that was still unnatural: “I have something to do, I’ll leave first.”
Only then did Evan turn back around and say: “Sorry.”
Liz also knew she had done something wrong and thought she had made me unhappy. Looking at me with reddened eyes, she softly apologized: “Auntie, I’m
sorry…”
I knew she hadn’t done it on purpose, and I couldn’t blame her harshly, so I said: “It’s okay, auntie knows you didn’t mean it.”
After saying that, I smiled lightly, waved goodbye to Liz, and turned to enter the elevator.
Evan watched the elevator doors close, then said to Liz in his arms: “Liz, you can’t grab onto other people’s collars like that anymore, understand?”
Liz nodded her head vigorously: “Mm, I understand…”
Around four o’clock in the afternoon, Milo happened to have business nearby and came to the hot spring hotel, bringing me a gift.
As I was waiting by the roadside for Milo to park, a car slowly drove toward us.
I didn’t pay attention at first, but the rear window gradually rolled down, and Liz poked her little head out, waving at me: “Auntie, we’re going home now, goodbye.”

I smiled faintly and said: “Goodbye, Liz.”
After speaking, I noticed Evan looking at me. I paused, then nodded at him as a greeting.
Evan also nodded, then glanced at Milo beside me before looking away.
Watching his car leave, Milo stroked his chin: “Why do I feel like Evan was looking at me with some scrutiny just now?”
I didn’t pay much attention: “Really? Why would he scrutinize you for no reason?”
Milo hesitated, then said: “Could it be that seeing me so close to you, he thinks our relationship is too intimate, so he’s keeping an eye on me for his good friend
Ferris?”
Hearing this, my smile faded a bit, and I said dismissively: “Don’t worry, it’s definitely not because of that.”
Evan and the others had a good relationship with Ashley too.
Obviously, compared to me, they would prefer Ferris to be with Ashley.
He and Ethan probably wished I would have an affair with someone else and leave Ferris alone.
How could they possibly worry about me cheating because I might be having an affair with another man?
Milo had other matters to attend to, so after giving me the gift, he drove away first.
As I watched his car leave, I suddenly heard familiar deep footsteps approaching me.
The moment I looked up, I froze–Ferris.
His eyes were slightly dark, his gaze swept around me and landed on the direction where Milo had disappeared, his expression immediately becoming
extremely ugly.
Ferris’s voice rang out low and cold: “Why are you here?”
Before I could answer, his gaze had already shot toward Milo’s retreating figure like a blade, his eyes growing increasingly dark: “You came here with him?”
