When he got home, it was already very late. Whale thought that something had happened to them. When he saw Zion coming in with a child in his arms, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"What the f*ck, boss, when did you have such a big child?”
The corners of Zion's mouth twitched as he lifted his foot and kicked him.
"Prepare a room."
Whale cried out in pain after being kicked, but Evangeline didn't sympathize with him at all.
"You really deserve it!" she thought to herself.
Whale touched his nose and quickly cleaned up. Evangeline whispered, "Let her sleep with me. If she is really abandoned, I'm afraid she won't get used to it when she gets to a new place."
"You're in poor health. If you take good care of her, you'll stay up late. She'd better follow me." Zion felt that something was not quite right. When he realized that the child in his arms was a girl, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Evangeline's lips curled into a smile.
"She's still a four-year-old child."
"Yes"
Although Zion said so, his face was a little flushed.
Evangeline thought that Zion was so cute.
"Why don't we sleep together and take care of each other?"
Her words stunned Zion.
"What kind of look is that? I am your woman, am I not? What's so strange about sleeping together? Or are you not going to marry me at all?"
Evangeline asked directly.
Zion quickly said, "How is that possible? I always want to marry you." "That's settled then." Evangeline took the child from Zion's arms and led the way upstairs, leaving Zion alone in the living room in a daze.
Living together?
Wait, no, sleeping together?
Thinking of the pain of sharing a bed with Evangeline, Zion smiled bitterly.
He was really good at finding trouble for himself.
Deep emotions made him more unable to control his desire to get close to Evangeline. But obviously, Evangeline didn't notice this at all.
Zion rubbed his nose and happened to see Whale coming out.
"Boss, the room is ready. Where's the child?"
"Sleep in it yourself."
After saying that, Zion went upstairs and entered the master bedroom.
Whale opened his mouth in surprise.
They were going to sleep on the same bed?
Did the child not matter?
Should he go and carry the child down?
Whale thought in his heart, but he didn't dare to go in again.
After Zion entered the room, Evangeline had already placed the child in the middle of the bed. She shook her sore arm. Zion immediately stepped forward and gently pinched her acupuncture points. It was so comfortable she almost whined.
"You know how to massage?"
"Just a little. If you're tired, just lie there. I'll give you a massage."
Zion's words made Evangeline stunned for a moment, and then she happily lay on the bed.
She was indeed lucky to meet such a boyfriend.
Zion didn't know what Evangeline was thinking. He knelt on the bed and began to massage Evangeline from the acupuncture point on her shoulder.
Evangeline might be really tired and fell asleep.
The sound of steady breathing made Zion slowly put away his strength. Looking at the sleeping Evangeline, who was as quiet as a child, he smiled and shook his head. He turned her over and lay down, then pulled up the quilt to cover her and the child.
"If I ask you to go, then go. There's no need to talk so much nonsense."
Zion frowned slightly.
Whale was a little depressed.
"Boss, you inexplicably increased my workload. I'm tired enough, and you still..."
"Are you going or not?"
Zion's voice was not loud, but it made Whale a little scared.
"Yes."
He resigned himself to his fate and went to the guest room. Then, under Zion's witness, he went to the room to have a blood test.
Time ticked by.
When the sun rose from the horizon and reflected into the room, Evangeline slowly woke up and found that the child was gone.
She was a little flustered, but suddenly remembered that she had a good night's sleep. The child was not there, and Klaus was no longer there. So the child should be with him, right?
Evangeline quickly went downstairs and saw that Zion had already asked someone to change the little girl's clothes into clean clothes. He was accompanying her on the sofa to read some kid's book.
Where did he get these books?
Evangeline was a little confused when she saw Whale coming out of the study with a pair of dark circles under his eyes.
"Boss, there's a result."
Zion's body paused slightly, and the little girl also looked up at him sensitively.
"Uncle, did you find my mom?"
Looking at the child's expectant eyes, Zion felt a little pain in his heart. He reached out and gently touched the little girl's forehead. He said with a smile, "It's not that fast. Whale is looking for me for something else. Can you play here alone for a while?"
"I'll keep her company."
Evangeline opened her mouth in time. She could see that Whale had something to tell Klaus, and Klaus seemed to have stayed up all night. So they were investigating the identity of the little girl. Did they have a result now?
