Chapter 51 Just Love Me
Evelin didn’t expect that any words she mentioned unintentionally were remembered by him.
As he gently put the necklace on her finger, he whispered softly in her ear.
"Evelyn, wear it and never take it off."
"Happy birthday, my princess."
Evelin held the blue rose in her palm as if it were a treasure, her red and swollen eyes sparkling with crystal tears.
But there was a smile on her lips, and she nodded heavily, as if she was afraid that Garland didn't know her response.
"This necklace is my promise to you."
"I will always trust you unconditionally."
"If the whole world betrays you, then I will betray the whole world for you."
"No one and nothing can make me abandon you."
At the last minute of his birthday, Garland suddenly stood up.
With those last words, he looked back and stared at Evelin.
Word for word, he answered the question she had asked him on the stairs.
The two looked at each other for a long time under the starry sky. The girl's little thoughts are the easiest to appease.
The boy's oath was made with all his heart and passion.
These words were engraved into Evelin’s heart forever.
He seldom says anything sentimental.
His oath is the most plain and simple, yet the most real and moving.
"Your Highness? Your Highness?"
Yuri's voice brought Evelyn back to reality, and the low cello melody entered her ears again.
Evelin put away her overflowing memories, and a thin mist had already appeared in front of her eyes.
Then she filled a full glass of red wine and drank it all in one gulp.
It turns out that he left her for the Southern Continent because of her. That’s great. He really dotes on her.
Yuri and Ollie winked at each other, not knowing how to comfort her.
Of course they knew how sad Evelin would be when Garland and Huo Wanqing talked and laughed on the observation deck.
After all, today is also the little prince’s birthday...
"Why are you two flirting with each other? Come drink."
Evely found that Ollie, who was usually very lively, was so quiet today.
When I turned around, I saw two people making awkward faces and I couldn't help laughing.
Even if she had to pretend, she had to pretend to be happy because she herself was in a bad mood.
When there is no one around, just enjoy yourself. Why bother disturbing other people's happiness?
After thinking about it, Evelin clinked glasses with a few people and drank one glass after another.
The cold liquid flowed slowly down her throat, burning her chilled internal organs.
Garland, who was on the observation deck, was always paying attention to Evelyn's movements.
He frowned when he saw Evelin’s somewhat crazy love of drinking.
Although alcohol does not cause any substantial harm to them, they will inevitably get drunk if they drink in this way.
Besides, he had told me not to drink so much when he was not around.
Evelin is really becoming more and more disobedient.
The feeling of being out of control arose again.
Huo Wanqing had long noticed that Garland's mind was not on her, so she spoke with understanding.
"Garland, go and keep Evelyn company,"
"Today is her birthday, so as a brother, you need to be a good brother."
Hearing Huo Wanqing's generous concession, Garland curled his lips apologetically.
"I'll come see you in a few days. Take care of yourself."
"Don't worry about me. I won't leave this time anyway."
"I'm always available."
Huo Wanqing said softly that she was always so considerate and always considered him first.
Just like on Evelyn's fifteenth birthday, she fell seriously ill.
But when he stayed by her side, she said.
"Today is Evelin's birthday, she must really want her brother to accompany her,"
"You should go back and celebrate her birthday with her. I'm fine. There are so many doctors here, so you don't have to worry about me."
After thinking about it, Garland quickened his pace towards Evelyn and grabbed the wine that she was about to bring to her lips.
Evelin looked up blankly, staring at him in a trance with her big, watery eyes.
Garland was stunned for a moment, the look in Evelyn's eyes overlapped with the look she had when she nestled in his arms on the night of her fifteenth birthday.
She hasn't changed much, she's still exactly the same.
Hurt, wronged, and cautious.
Garland couldn't help but sigh and calm down his anger, and said softly.
"No more drinking today, let's go and rest."
Evelin spoke out the grievances in her heart. She didn’t know why she felt so aggrieved that she wanted to cry.
Garland picked up Evelyn and walked out of the banquet hall amid the exclamations of the crowd.
"elder brother."
Evelyn, half drunk and half awake, nestled in Garland's arms and called him softly.
She felt again the same feeling she had when she was fifteen, as if she was being abandoned.
As this memory returned, she remembered the days and nights when Garland went to see Huo Wanqing regardless of rain or shine.
She suddenly felt that Garland seemed to be getting farther and farther away from her.
"Ok?"
Garland responded to her softly, his eyes turning to Evelyn in his arms.
"Brother, do you not love me as much as before?"
Evelyn deliberately avoided Garland's gentle gaze.
She didn't dare to look him in the eye, for she was afraid that Garland would notice the tears in her eyes and the grievance that was about to overflow.
Suddenly, I seemed to be back to the night of my fifteenth birthday.
She nestled in his arms feeling aggrieved, avoiding his eyes and asking similar questions.
"What kind of injustice have you suffered? How could my brother not love you?"
Garland raised his head and looked at the road ahead, and his answer was exactly what Evelyn had expected.
"Just love me..."
Evelin murmured and sighed, and didn’t say anything more, and it was unknown how much she believed it.
Finally, she leaned against his strong chest and closed her eyes, fatigue sweeping over her whole body.
She felt a little too exhausted to argue today, and was worried about whether he still loved her.
Or maybe it was because she always had excuses for Garland's disappearances so many times over the years.
Until today, when she saw with her own eyes the person he had been running around for day and night, her heart might have been completely chilled.
She no longer had the energy to make excuses for him.
When she returned to Lanburg’s bedroom, Evelin’s shallow breathing could already be heard.
Garland could also tell from her little face that she was really tired.
He carefully placed her on the bed, and wanted to leave, but he took off his coat and lay down on his side.
Somehow, he especially wanted to see more of Evelin today.
His big hands rubbed Evelin's rose necklace between his fingers, and that scene appeared in his mind.
Two days before Evelyn's fifteenth birthday, he was preparing to go to Polyusina to get the diamond.
He sent people to collect the hair for cultivation several months ago.
He wanted to polish and process it by hand and give the most perfect diamond to Evelyn.
Unfortunately, before he set off, he received an emergency call from the sanatorium in the South Continent.
It was said that Huo Wanqing was suddenly critically ill, and her family was on the way.
But it has been too long and he is the only person closest to him.
He had no choice but to sign, and he left in a hurry without saying goodbye to Evelin.
