Chapter 1831 Temptation
Damien and Draven looked at Nicole and followed her when she turned to head down the mountain.
âMrs. Seet, arenât we looking for Mr. Seet?â
âLetâs find a place to hide first. It might not be easy for us to find him on such a huge mountain, but for her, itâs a piece of cake. Letâs quietly follow her later,â Nicole instructed.
âHow did you know that sheâll be looking for Mr. Seet?â Draven asked curiously.
Before Nicole could reply, Damien beat her to it. âJust look at her gorgeous makeup and outfit. Sheâs definitely thinking of going on a date with Mr. Seet. As the saying goes, women will always doll themselves up for men they love.â
Draven turned to look at Damien. âYou sound as though you really understand women!â
Damien smiled. âAnyone can see it except for you, dummy!â
Draven was rendered speechless.
Really? I hardly interact with women, so I only know that they are complicated, and one mustnât guess their thoughts, as thereâs no point in doing so anyway.
âWhy donât I become your disciple in the future, and you teach me how to understand women? How about that, Damien?â
âIâm afraid youâre asking the wrong person. Mingle with Mr. Davin for several months after going back to Y City, and youâll understand everything!â
Draven thought it was a good idea.
The three of them then hid behind a huge boulder and waited to see if Shermaine would make her descent.
After a while, they saw her hurrying down the mountain, and upon reaching the midpoint area, a guard informed her that Evan had gone to the field of flowers.
âWhatâs he doing there?â
âIt looks like heâs admiring the flowers.â
Without probing any further, Shermaine turned and headed in that direction, unaware that she was being tailed by Nicole and the two bodyguards.
Evan stood at the field with his hands behind his back, staring blankly ahead with pensive eyes, seemingly lost in his thoughts.
Shermaine quietly walked up beside him and softly called, âEvan!â
He snapped out of his daze and took a deep breath before turning toward her. âYou knew that Iâm here?â
âWell, I was going to go down the mountain to find you, but when I heard you were here, I came over. I saw you being quiet just now. What were you thinking? Is there something on your mind?â she asked, concerned.
âI was wondering why I feel so foggy. Whatâs wrong with me?â
Shermaine got nervous.
The book containing the secret technique did not mention that a person with altered memories would react this way. Could this be some kind of side effect?
âIf thereâs anywhere that doesnât feel right, Evan, Iâll take you to the doctor.â
After a moment of silence, Evan replied, âNo need for that. Maybe I havenât had a good rest recently.â
Nicole and the others, who were hiding a distance away, could not help but suspect that Shermaine had done something to him or had given him something to eat that affected his health upon hearing his words.
âYou can check his pulse and assess his condition, Mrs. Seet. Iâm scared that his brain was damaged again besides forgetting you⦠If thatâs the case, that would be troublesome!â
âI want to, but he wonât give me the chance to do it,â she replied. After giving it some thought, she added, âNo, I canât let him be. He canât seem to think clearly. I must assess his condition.â
âThatâs the right way of thinking, Mrs. Seet. You mustnât listen to him, given this situation.â
âExactly. Think of him as a rebellious teenager and put your foot down.â
Nicole glanced at them. âVery well. Iâll check his pulse as soon as the opportunity arises.â
âYou donât look well, Evan. Since this place has a pleasant fragrance of flowers and beautiful scenery, let me sleep with you for a while.â Shermaineâs eyes shone as she stared at him.
âDid you hear that? She wants to sleep with him!â
âIndeed! How shameless!â
Nicole merely looked at Evan without saying a word, wanting to observe his reaction.
A breathtaking view, coupled with a beautiful lady beside him⦠Will he be able to resist the temptation?
