Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 534 Harmonious Feelings(Chapter Preview)
"It has been months since I felt that better. I think I was getting sicker while cooped up in that small room.
Thanks to you, I had a good time and played piano after so long." Evan patted the shoulders of her brother as she asked him to try playing too.
She sat beside him and taught him basic keynotes of piano after playing for a while.
She had a bright smile on her rosy face and her body worked much better.
Ethan felt awkward at the sudden compliment. He was still not sure how to react after being treated kindly. So, he lowered his head in the pretense of playing piano and nodded his head subtly.
Hannah gritted her teeth when she saw how they were having a good time together.
How Evan was getting closer to Ethan. Hannah had only one leverage, that no one liked Ethan and spent time with him.
The man even when he was grown up had a child like insecurities. Since the day he had come here, he was pining for their love and attention but the family was busy in solving others' matters that they did not pay attention to, which he had taken as rejection.
Hannah took its benefit and continued to fill his mind with toxic thoughts towards Eli and Leo who were not the real child of the family. She planted the thought in his mind that they are the reason behind the rejection.
She had almost been successful with her work and had sown discord among everyone but why did this sick woman was trying to gain his favor. She should not be here in the first place.
Hannah's nails dug deeper into her skin that blood started to seep out from the wound she had made but she felt nothing.
"If you like, I can teach you how to dance too. It would be good to learn in advance so that when a beautiful lady offers her hand to you, you will have the confidence to take her on to the dance floor." Evan nudged his shoulders and wriggled her eyebrows meaningfully when he looked away. fr𝚎e𝙬𝚎𝚋𝚗૦ν𝚎𝒍.c૦m
Heat rose to his cheeks and they turned redder when Hannah felt that she should run and remind him that he was only going to be with her and slap that woman hard for her tricks.
'Ha! To show that Evan loves and cares for Ethan! Leo must have told her to win the pawn to secure his position as a king. Such a vicious couple were they!'
This woman had behaved the same with her father too. She had taken advantage of Edward all her life and now that she had a stronger branch to rely on, she had discarded him and put him in prison so that her viciousness would not be displayed to the public.
Hannah gnashed her teeth so hard when she saw how they both stood up and started dancing to the beats.
Evan had a bright smile on her face and her eyes were sparkling like rare gems while Ethan's face was red, he was feeling shy while holding the waist of his sister. Such a pervert!
"One, two, three, one, two, three!" she counted for him as she moved slowly so that he could match her steps.
They have a harmonious feeling around them with no sarcasm or comments that he usually passes to his other siblings.
Hannah coughed hard to gain his attention. He was deviating from his path but no matter how many times she made strange noises, he did not turn to look at her.
"I think you are not feeling well. You can go and rest there are other maids to serve us if we need anything.`` Hannah could not believe her eyes. Ethan nodded his head when Evan asked her to leave.
He had a smile on his face and suddenly he looked brighter. Her face turned darker and her hatred started to seep out of her body.
She was right! Men were unreliable, you could never trust them.
? But she bowed her head and left as she knew that she was losing her calm. What if Evan noticed her real motives since she was already doubtful of her.
She could not make any mistake.
"Thank you for your grace, my lady." she bowed her head with respect and turned to leave when she heard Ethan chuckling.
Was he making fun of her now? To think that he would try to cut the roots after taking her benefit and held a stronger branch!
No, she would never let this happen. She walked out of the room when she noticed that the maids, who had started to tremble and follow her orders without a word, were mocking her with that smiling gaze of theirs.
She gritted her teeth again. If they think that she would lose her position that easily then they all are wrong.
Instead of walking back to her room. She continued to walk into the garden as if she needed fresh air.
The knights noticed her presence but did not try to stop her. Hannah continued to walk until she reached the walls of the palace near the orchid.
The place was covered with dense trees with darkness all around. She knocked on the walls as if she was trying to play a tune with it.
A few of them have strong voices while one of them sounded hollow when her eyes glimmered.
She took out the hollow brick from the wall and found the hole she was looking for.
She took out a letter from her dress and threw it on the other side of the wall.
After waiting for a few minutes, she got a letter back there. She took the letter and then placed the brick back in its place.
She roamed a few minutes here and there before leaving for her room from the other side.
Reaching her room, she closed the door and opened the letter,
"More goods would be given by the physician of your mother this Sunday.
If you need help, write a letter and pass it. A helper would be organized for you in the palace but we do not have much time.
So, speed up your process."
