Chapter 659
Chapter 659: Come on, Eva.
Lets go eat something delicious, Harlee said.
Evas face lit up with enthusiasm.
Okay, yummy food! Can we get cake? Only if you share it with me, Harlee replied with a playful smile.
Ill definitely share with you! Eva jumped excitedly, her joy infectious.
Evita, typically unyielding, could only stand and watch as Harlee walked away with Eva.
She remained motionless until they were out of sight, at which point tears welled up in her eyes.
What had she done all these years? Meanwhile, Rhys, dressed impeccably in a black suit, arrived carrying gifts, determined to make a good impression on his future in-laws.
Upon reaching the gate of the Sanderson estate, Rhys was halted.
Kane emerged, his face devoid of emotion, and delivered Lonnies instructions.
Mr.
Green, I regret to inform you that you cannot enter as a guest of the Sanderson family.
Mr.
Lonnie Sanderson has offered you a chance to demonstrate your affection for Miss Sanderson solely because he values her feelings, not because of your family or you.
If you find this objectionable, youre free to leave now.
Rhys, having anticipated this, responded with composed courtesy.
Please lead the way, Kane.
Kane, still expressionless, began guiding Rhys without offering to carry any of the several bags Rhys was holding, treating him as though he were a mere afterthought.

She wanted to dismiss Ettas words and walk away, but as she caught sight of Ettas hopeful eyes, she hesitated.
Her legs felt heavy, rooted to the spot.
Ultimately, she chose to nod silently, leaving Etta clinging to her fragile hope.
Callie had no insight into Lonnies mindset, but she could tell that Skyla had accepted Rhys as Harlees boyfriend.
Skyla was secretly waiting by the small door outside the study, ready to relay the situation to Harlee.
Bolstered by Callies nod, Etta hurried back to her room, her mind buzzing with anticipation.
The outcome was crucialnot only for completing the task assigned by Hale but also for her own aspirations to rise in status.
She took it very seriously.
Unfortunately for Etta, Kane had already issued strict orders that only he was allowed to approach the study.
Rhys, following Kanes lead, pushed open the study door.
He was ready to meet the Sanderson family but was taken aback upon entering.noveldrama
The room was empty.
He turned to ask Kane about it, only to see the study door close behind him.
Rhys expression remained calm and composed.
Without hesitation, he strode to the guest seat, set the gifts down at his feet, and sat up straight.
Rhys resolved to wait for the Sanderson family to arrive, even if it meant enduring hours of waiting or walking into a potential trap.
