The man was so fast, When Zion felt that he was about to catch up with him, he disappeared as soon as Zion turned around.
Zion stood on the empty mountain while frowning.
The man had great skills. Just who was he?
Zion was a little annoyed, but he didn't stay any longer. He went straight back to the sanatorium.
Evangeline got along well with Barney. To be exact, Evangeline was talking, and Barney was listening patiently, which made her happy.
Seeing Zion come back, Evangeline suddenly stood up, but Zion was shocked.
"Be careful.''
"Where's Rita?”
When Evangeline learned of Rita's condition, her mind was filled with Rita. Now that Zion was back alone, she couldn't help but feel a bit anxious.
Zion quickly took her body and whispered, "She knows everything. She wants to live for herself. She said that she has to give it a try in her limited life. I can't stop her, and I can't bear to stop her."
These words made him feel a little upset.
Evangeline's heart ached as well.
Rita, who had always been brought up in everyone's spoiling.
“I really hope I can stay with her."
Hearing Evangeline's words, Zion said in a low voice, "She needs to live her own life. Don't worry. You'd better take good care of yourself."
Evangeline didn't say anything else. For a moment, she felt that the food was no longer delicious.
Seeing that Zion was back talking to Evangeline, Barney didn't come forward to disturb her. After a pause, she said, "Zion, come over and have something to eat. You've been busy all day, so you should at least replenish some energy."
"Yes, yes. Hurry up and come over for dinner."
Only then did Evangeline realize that Zion didn't seem to have eaten anything.
She could not help but feel a little annoyed.
Wasn't she Zion's girlfriend?
Why did Barney have to remind Zion instead?
Evangeline didn't know if she was thinking too much, but she always felt that Barney's feelings for Zion were not ordinary. There was a little more affection between them than what Zion said, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't guess what Barney was thinking.
Zion didn't know what Evangeline was thinking. Hearing Barney called him, he answered subconsciously and then took Evangeline's hand and sat down.
In the past, he didn't care much about how to sit. Now that he had Evangeline, he knew that this girl was a little uneasy from time to time. Subconsciously, he sat down beside Evangeline. Among them, Evangeline sat opposite Barney.
Evangeline was very satisfied with this and began to serve Zion some food.
Zion told her to eat first, but when he saw Evangeline serving him happily, he didn't care about her anymore.
Forget about it. It was alright as long as Evangeline was happy.
Zion ate quietly. Evangeline happily arranged the dishes for him. Barney suddenly felt that she was a little redundant here.
"I'll go back to my room first, and then you guys can clean up the table later."
"Okay, Barney, go ahead."
Zion didn't raise his head. He just nodded slightly.
Evangeline saw the disappointment in Barney's eyes.
She finally confirmed that it was not her imagination.
Did Barney really have some feelings for Zion?
Evangeline frowned and understood what was happening. At the same time, she felt a little depressed.
Why were there so many women staring at her man?
There was Sissaye before, and now there was Barney.
Although Zion was straightforward to Sissaye, she could tell that Zion had different feelings for Barney.
She was not blind. Of course, she could see how pure Zion's feelings for Barney were. If she told him that Barney, his so-called sister, had other feelings for him, Zion probably wouldn't believe it at all.
However, she was annoyed by this.
Zion put down his chopsticks, looked at Evangeline, and said word by word, "I hope you can make it clear to me. Don't hide your feelings in your heart. First, you need to rest well. Second, if you don't solve the problem in your heart, there will be a huge gap between us after a long time. Evangeline, I'm a stupid man. I haven't had time to deal with women in the army these years. I don't know what women think. I just hope that when you are with me, you can be free of distractions and worry. You just need to trust me fully. Of course, I also trust you wholeheartedly."
It would be a little inappropriate for Evangeline to keep her emotions a secret now that he had said this.
She bit her lower lip and thought for a while before saying, "I don't think Barney's feelings for you are as pure as you think."
She finally said it!
The frustration in Evangeline's heart dissipated in an instant.
Alright, she really couldn't hide anything secretly.
However, Evangeline was also worried. Seeing that Zion was slightly surprised by her words, she felt that she was very cruel.
"Maybe I was wrong."
Evangeline quickly added.
However, Zion shook his head and said,
"You’re not a person who says anything without reason. Since you've said so, Barney must have done something that makes you feel like this way. But, her situation is a little special. You go back to your room first, can I go and have a look alone?"
Zion was asking for Evangeline's opinion.
Evangeline felt that it was a good feeling to be respected. Moreover, although she felt insecure, she still believed in Zion's character.
She could not help but nod.
Zion was almost done eating, so he sent Evangeline back to her room. He tidied up the table and walked over to Barney's room.
But before he could get close to Barney's room, he felt someone in it.
There was more than one person too!
