Chapter 1929 Sneaking Into Imperial Garden
âWhy are you in such a hurry?â
When they returned to the room, Zayden told Yuvan that Evan did not agree to let him stay in the house. In fact, he was the one who had taken it upon himself to make the decision and manipulate Evanâs intentions. Hence, Zayden warned Yuvan to be careful and avoid stumbling into Evan.
âYouâve got to be like a mouse and avoid my uncle, whoâs the cat. Otherwise, heâll definitely get someone to kick you out of Imperial Garden,â Zayden reminded.
Yuvan stared at him with a blank look. He was stuck in a difficult situation; there was no way out of it. âWhy didnât you say so earlier?â
âYou wouldnât have come in if I had said so. Okay, enough. We must not waste any more time. Letâs hurry up and memorize the lines.â
Feeling unsettled, Yuvan reminded Zayden, âQuick. Lock the door. Donât let your uncle find out.â
âYouâre quite afraid of Uncle Evan, eh?â
âOf course. Donât you know what kind of person your uncle is? Everyone in Y City fears him. Oh boy. Youâve really put me in deep trouble now.â
âDonât worry. Imperial Garden is a big place. Uncle Evan wonât be able to find you for some time. Besides, Joy and I will cover for you. Basically, youâll only go out when he leaves the house during the day. At night, youâll come home with us. Anyway, the butler wonât cause you any more trouble since he thinks itâs my uncle who let you stay here.â
âOkay.â Yuvan nodded and sighed.
With that, they started memorizing the script while Joy kept watch in the corner.
However, never in their wildest dreams did they expect Evan to be watching the surveillance footage in the study room. The entire process of Yuvan entering Imperial Garden was displayed on the screen.
That little rascal, Zayden, is quite bold, eh?
Since Evan knew little about Yuvan and his intentions, it was dangerous to let someone like him live there. Hence, he decided to assign someone to keep an eye on him.
Remaining calm, Evan gave the task to the butler.
âDonât worry, Mr. Seet. I know what to do.â
âOkay. You may leave now.â
As the butler exited the study room, he suddenly had a realization. I was just wondering why Mr. Seet would suddenly change his mind and let a stranger live here. Now I know whatâs going on. Mr. Seet has other plans.
Meanwhile, Joy kept sighing as she watched Zayden and Yuvan practicing their lines. âCan you two be a little serious? You guys are wasting a lot of time.â
âStop stressing us, Joy. Weâre memorizing while thinking of ways to improve our acting.â
âBoth of you should just act according to the script and stop thinking of being ingenious all the time. Youâve turned a sad scene into a comedy and a comedy into a drama. If you keep up with this, I donât know how I am going to play my part.â
Her words left the other two speechless.
Seeing the displeasure on Joyâs face, Yuvan immediately coaxed, âOkay, okay. We promise weâll follow the script. We wonât simply change it anymore, okay?â
âYuvan, didnât you say I canât memorize the parts with too many lines? Can you teach me how to change my lines?â
âZayden, we need to respect Joy, too. Weâre not the only ones acting. We have to think about how the others feel.â
âExactly. Now thatâs more like it, Yuvan.â
Yuvan was at a loss for words.
Joy was pleased with the outcome, while Zayden pouted and started memorizing the lines that were difficult to utter.
The session did not end until he was done memorizing, practiced it with Yuvan, and had gotten Joyâs approval.
âYuvan, you can sleep with me tonight.â
âOkay. I canât even go out of Imperial Garden, anyway.â
âDonât worry. When Uncle Evan is not around, you can still go out and get some fresh air. Weâre going to school tomorrow. Remember, you must wait until Uncle Evan leaves before you can go out,â Zayden reminded.
âOkay. I got it.â
Soon, silence filled the air. Yuvan lay on the same bed as Zayden. As he watched the latter fall asleep, various emotions stirred in his heart and a dark gaze filled his eyes.
I canât believe Iâm here at Imperial Garden so easily. Evan and Nicole live here too. Iâm going to make you people pay for the incident back then.
