Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 541 He Knew Truth.(Chapter Preview)

"You know the truth. Don't you?" Evan was working hard so that she could show truth to Ethan but looking at his face, he already had a gist of it.

"She just feels insecure when it comes to money. Once I marry her, that problem will be solved." though he tried to sound confident his voice gave.

He did not dare to raise his head and look at her as he could feel that she would go hopping mad any second.

When she had left earlier without saying a word, he had thought she was not going to bother but who would have thought she would come back after bidding goodbye to Eli.

"If she did not improve, then I would leave the palace with her.

I am fine as long as I have a place to stay and can work for my necessities. Leo is already handling the palace well.

I was too stubborn to get things from him that I never realized if I would be able to handle them or not.`` His voice was firm and his face was filled with determination that she did not know what else to say.

She took a deep breath and sat on the chair on the other side. Her hands still holding the parchment she had brought showing that the house papers belong to Hannah and she was the one who changed it.

"That is not the solution. But you know it better than me. And no one will let you go! I am not going to sit here and watch how everyone is leaving the family.

I want you to test her once. If she even loves you or not!

What if she is…" if they have already come to this. She was going to tell him how she had seen Hannah laughing over him and making vicious faces.

Love! How good a feeling it was, yet a few people use it to fool others. How could she let a vicious woman like Hannah be part of the family.

But before she could explain it to him, he raised his head and cut her in between.

"Evangeline, I know that you are worried for the family and I feel upset that Evelyn and Elizabeth left the house but that does not mean that I will leave Hannah for it.

Even if she doesn't love me and is here only for money, I have already told you that I am not going to leave her. My love is enough for both of us.

And I am sure that she will start to love me soon." Ethan stood up from his seat and walked towards the door.

If she was not leaving then he would. He did not want to get part of this discussion when he knew that he was in the wrong.

His determination to take some money and then leave the palace increased.

"........." she blinked when she heard his cracking yet determined voice.

"It only mean that you know that she did not love you." Ethan looked away, "and now you are running. You are ready to leave your family you have found with so much difficulty for a girl who did not even love you! Ethan are you even thinking before taking your decisions?" she could not believe he was going to be blind eye for everything Hannah had done just because he loved her.

"She had no one other than me. And I may look like a fool but I have my own reasons. Evangeline, I am going to take a walk in the garden. I think we have to end our discussion here.

I will soon make arrangements to shift to the summer palace. And if it is about leaving the family, then i am always here and keep visiting you.

Though we had spent very less time together, that did not mean I have no attachment to you.

I know your motive was to bring me closer to family and change my behavior towards Leo. so that i will stop treating him as a threat.

And for the efforts you have put in for that, I will leave the position of head for him. 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎

So, you do not need to worry." she felt bare and embarrassed the way he had put it simply and curry.

"Ethan.."

"Yes, I know that you look at me as a brother but you also look at me as a naive child that could be easily fooled.

You are just like Hannah. The only difference is that her motive was to earn money and your motive was to subdue me for Leo.

You both forgot that I had spent all my life only on roads dealing with all kinds of people." he took a deep breath as he said so and closed his eyes.

Opening the door, he left the room.

The sound of his footsteps brought Evan back to her senses. She had thought.. He was right!

"You do not need to hide, I knew that you were here from the start!" she said sharply as she stood up from the sofa and opened the curtains.

"Did you really think that you can hide behind curtains and no one will notice you or panic have made you dumber!'' Hannah glared at the girl. She knew from the start that Evan could be a threat to her plans.

She was a rotten woman who knew how to sway the emotions of others. She had used the same way to enter the palace but now she was judging her for the same things. Such a hypocrite. f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oν𝑒Ɩ.c𝑜𝙢

"Did you not hear him? He said that he would be with me no matter what happens. So, stop interfering in our matters. We are not going to get affected by your cheap tricks." Instead of feeling embarrassment or guilt Hannah stared back at Evangeline with arrogance.

"Did you not hear that he knew that you did not love him yet he loves you back so much that he is ready to leave his family for you. Will you be able to take the burden of his decision?"
