"The smoke from the barbecue!" Evelyn randomly found an excuse.
She realized that she was getting better and better at making things up recently!
She even started believing the reasons she came up with herself.
"If he's not good to you, why do you insist on sticking with him?" Logan asked angrily, "Evelyn, you can have a much better life, you..."
"For me, staying by his side is the best life." Evelyn interrupted Logan.
Meeting his gaze, she continued, "I know what I'm doing, so... you don't have to worry about me."
"Evelyn..."
"I've muddled through so many years, I've never been as clear-headed as I am now!" Evelyn's lips curled into a faint smile, "So... cheer for me!"
"Have you already made up your mind?" Logan's face looked conflicted, "This life, it's really... going to be him?"
Evelyn nodded, looking at the door to her and Caden's bedroom. She smiled softly and said, "It's going to be him! Even if I have to be chased away, I'll work hard to stay."
