Chapter 773 The Vargas Family

Tradition Evie closed her eyes, teardrops hung on her long eyelashes. She blinked. Tears fell anddisappeared without a trace. She didn’t know whether she should trust Stephen or not. But whether shebelieved it or not, it was better to be with him than to stay in the Olsen family.

All these years, she had endured the humiliation and waited for the opportunity. Wasn’t it just to leavethe Olsen family completely, no longer live under others, and suffer all kinds of bullying? And now, theperson who saved her was right in front of her.

The whole Harper, only Stephen could completely get her out of that hell, and she never had to go backto be tortured. Evie knew it than anyone else! Stephen noticed her tears. Seeing her silence, he saidagain, “Answer me, tell me you understand, and you will do as I say.” Evie nodded heavily, trying tosuppress her choking, and whispered, “I see. I will do as you say.” Stephen smiled.

She could say whatever Stephen wanted her to say, without missing a single word. She was soobedient that made him sad. “You are so obedient, it is not in accord with my family tradition.”

Evie was puzzled, looked up at him, and asked seriously, “What is your family tradition?” She wanted toseize the opportunity to learn more about the Vargas family. Stephen looked at her, who was full ofcuriosity. “Do you want to know it?” Evie nodded. “Then tell me, does the wound hurt?”

“It hurts.” Evie didn’t hesitate. “The horsewhip is dipped in salt water. It hurts a lot.” Hearing it,Stephen’s heart trembled. “What is the reason for doing it to you?” “One is because of Eliza’s suicide,and the other is because I rejected them a few What happened?”

“Eliza likes you. Mrs. Olsen wanted Eliza to marry you quietly instead of me. When it’s done, you can’tdeny it, and the Vargas family can only suffer from it.” After the words fell, Evie hurriedly added anexplanation.

“But I didn’t agree. I rejected them without even thinking about it. So Mrs. Olsen was very angry. Shefelt that if I agreed, Eliza would not commit suicide for love.” Stephen couldn’t help laughing. “Theyshould thank you.”

Evie asked in confusion, “Thank me? Why?” “Eliza committed suicide because of love. But she wasalive after all? “But if she marries me, no one can save her.”

Stephen’s tone was extremely calm. It was obvious that he had another meaning in his words. Evie’sheart skipped a beat. She was startled. She let go of his hand abruptly. “Do you want to turn suicideinto homicide?” Seeing her panicked look, Stephen smiled.

“You said that. Not me.” After he said it, he saw her loosen her hand, but he tightened and took theinitiative to hold her. She was obedient and timid.

Did she put all her thoughts and courage into last night’s blind date? But she was really smart. Even ifhe had another meaning in his words, she could see through it.

In a panic, Evie met Stephen’s gaze. His eyes were gentle, but she knew that behind this gentleness,Stephen was not easy to mess with. “You…” Evie was a little scared.

She knew very little about Stephen. The two of them had known each other for less than twenty-fourhours. So they were almost strangers. Stephen looked at her. After seconds, he made a sound to breakthe silence.

“Now let me tell you what our family tradition is.” Evie knew that Stephen was changing the subject.She nodded and heard.

But he laughed again. “The wife always takes control.” Evie was stunned. It turned out that he didn’tchange the subject. The two looked at each other and didn’t feel fear again. She smiled.

Immediately afterward, the beautiful atmosphere was broken by a hasty knock on the door. Thump.Thump. “Evie, Are you inside?” “I’m Jason. I’m here to see you.” Evie was astonished. Her hand wasfrozen. She didn’t expect Jason to come.

Why did he come? How did he know she was hurt? Stephen caught Evie’s expression. He frowned,lowered his voice, and said in a firm tone… “Your brother-in-law.” Evie had no way to deny it. So shenodded. “Yes.”

“Your former sweetheart?” Although it was a question, he was sure about it. Evie was speechless. Shestill couldn’t deny it, so she nodded again.
