Heartthrob: The vampire princess doesn't want to be a stand-in

Chapter 285 Silent Dedication

Evelin raised her eyebrows expressionlessly, her brother’s tone rising with sarcasm at the end.

"Why are you like this?"

Garland's fists hanging by his legs gradually clenched, and he felt uncomfortable and had difficulty breathing when he looked at Evelyn's loveless eyes.

He never thought that one day he would see a strange look of alienation, provocation, and tit-for-tat on Evelin's face.

Just as Evelyn could never forget the future in her dream in which Garland said she made him feel sick.

Both of them seemed to be stuck in a dead end in their hearts, but neither of them was willing to speak out first, and neither of them was willing to reveal their true thoughts.

"What do I look like?"

"It's just that I no longer like you and I'm chasing you, so you feel disappointed, right?"

Evelyn crossed her legs and cast a cold gaze at Garland.

When she said these words, her mind would always recall how she used to be obsessed with Garland, even when she knew that he would always choose to let her go for Huo Wanqing.

She now just thinks it's ridiculous. How could she have been so love-minded and stupid in the past.

"It's been so long, can't you see that I really love you?"

Garland shook his head gently, his face full of disbelief as he listened to what she said. He didn't expect Evelin to think of him like this.

"you love me?"

"Brother, now that things have come to this, please stop joking, okay?"

"You love me so much that you would choose to abandon me again and again because of Huo Wanqing?"

"You love me so much that you would choose not to trust me for Huo Wanqing. If you love me, would you choose to marry another woman?"

"Is this how you love someone? If so, I'm sorry, but I really can't bear it."

Every word Evelyn said not only pierced Garland's heart, but also hurt her own heart even more.

"I…"

Garland was choked and couldn't utter a word. He had indeed done all these things, and he had indeed caused Evelyn deep harm.

He couldn't refute it, nor could he explain it.

Yuri sighed secretly, looking at the two people arguing with each other, and was hesitant to speak.

He wondered if there was no one to mediate, these two people would remain awkward for the rest of their lives.

Evelyn was unwilling to speak out because she was jealous of Huo Wanqing, and Garland was uncomfortable with Vincent's kindness to Evelyn and refused to speak out either.

"Cough...cough..."

Yuri pondered over and over again in his mind, and finally coughed twice softly to remind Garland, who was gradually getting angry, to calm down.

"Brother, the tea is ready. I'll go down first."

Yuri saw that Garland was aware of his excitement, so he spoke at the right time and walked out of the living room.

Evelin still maintained her sitting posture, and it could be seen that her whole state was a little tense.

Without the presence of outsiders, and as if Yuri's reminder had worked, Garland's tense nerves relaxed in an instant, and the rising anger receded like a tide.

"Don't get too close to Vincent. I'll be jealous."

Evelin was a little stunned when she heard this. She looked at Garland's expression and actually saw fragility in him.

A feeling of fragility enveloped Garland.

"I don't want to interfere with your making friends, so I've been trying my best to control my possessiveness."

Garland did not notice Evelyn's shocked look. He gently leaned his head against Evelyn's ear.

His face was full of fatigue, as if only hugging Evelin could relieve some of the fatigue.

Evelin's eyes froze for a moment, and then it emerged in her mind that it seemed that Garland had been going out early and returning late every day to secretly plan things for the nightclub. He would always take time to accompany her, or prepare a confession surprise for her.

All of them only saw Garland's swiftness and decisiveness, so they subconsciously believed that he would never get tired or fall down.

Fragile, powerless, and fragile, these weak words seem to have long been isolated from Garland.

However, they all overlooked that the more powerful a person is, the more things he carries in his heart.

What's more, he had no one to talk to, and no one could share even a little bit of his worries.

Evelyn remained silent for a long time and did not hear Garland say anything else. When she looked down, she found that Garland was leaning on his shoulder with his eyes closed.

His breathing was even, and he no longer had the sharpness he had when he was awake. He looked like a handsome young man.

"You? Asleep?"

Evelyn asked in surprise, but she didn't hear Garland's answer.

"Don't sleep on my shoulder...ah..."

Garland's furry golden head leaned obediently on Evelyn's thin shoulders, which was indeed a little too heavy.

"Big brother hasn't had a good sleep for many days. If you have nothing to do, let him have a good sleep."

Yuri suddenly appeared.

He knew very well that he shouldn't interfere in the affairs between Garland and Evelyn, but he still felt sorry for Garland, who had to sacrifice his sleep time and run around in order to give Evelyn enough company.

"He hasn't slept in days?"

Evelyn was stunned when she heard Yuri's whispered explanation. Garland had difficulty falling asleep because he was often troubled by nightmares.

Therefore, everyone, including himself, cherishes their daily sleep time.

Because even blue-blooded nobles need to sleep to repair consumed energy and strength.

"I took a short nap two days ago and then went to a meeting. I haven't slept for nearly 40 hours now."

"You can't risk your life just to catch someone..."

After listening to Yuri's answer, Evelin actually felt a little distressed, but she didn't want to admit it.

"He did it for you, Your Highness."

"for me?"

Evelin didn't understand what this had to do with her.

"Anders' fireworks festival will be held in a few days. Big brother still remembers the wish you have always had."

"He wanted to finish all the work at hand and watch the fireworks with you."

Yuri pondered for a long time, then sighed deeply when he saw Garland's brows were furrowed even when he was asleep.

Garland never let him talk too much, even though he had done so much for Evelyn silently, Garland didn't want her to know.

So this time, Yuri acted on his own.

"Haven't we seen all of this before in the Southern Continent?"

Evelin’s thoughts were pulled far away by this wish, so far that she remembered what happened in the southern continent.

"That time was to carry out a mission, and was interrupted by Huo Youshan."

"This time he doesn't want anyone to disturb him, and for no other purpose, just so you can be happy."
