Chapter 472 Who Would Be Heir?(Chapter Preview)
Just as she walked in, Eve and Evan came running to her and hugged her. She controlled her expressions as she did not want them to suffer father\'s anger when Eve leaned closer and whispered,
"So how was it, did you enjoy it?"
"Shh, someone would listen! But Eli you have not done a good make up, your hickeys are visible, if father would notice them, he would kill Andrew!" Elin blinked like she was innocent here when Eli galred at her.
"I think Eli is tired. Shall I take her to her room?" Evan held her hands and pulled her towards the stairs.
If it would have been any other time, she would have scolded Evan but this time, she just nodded her head and followed her, afraid that everyone would notice her hickeys.
It was very rare for women to spend a night with a man when they were not married, especially among nobles who have many eyes on them all the time.
If she were to be found, she didn\'t know how she would meet the eyes of her family.
Walking into the room, both Eve and Evan closed their rooms and squealed hard.
"Ho my Eli! Though we were the one who had sent you, we can not believe that you have followed our advice and spent the night with his highness!"
"What are you doing here? You are not even married. What do you know about all this?" Eli\'s whole face turned red when they noticed both of them were smiling while passing glances to her.
Her hands covered the mark on her neck instinctively when she heard both of the giggles again.
"You! You! You are responsible for all this. If I tell my father, he will punish both of you. So, do not agitate me." Eli glared at them with her flushed face but it did not give the same reaction as it used to have.
Both of them just giggled and stared at them as if she was a little lost lamb that could never harm them.
"Hey, hey we only sent you to him. The rest is your own choice. You can not blame us for anything that happened between you and your lover." Eve snapped as she pointed at the mark on her body.
"And here I thought Leo is the only one who is rough in bed. I guess every man is like that!" she shook her head as she rubbed her neck as if she could still feel the pain of old hickeys.
"Alright, both of you, get out of my room." Eli held their hands and started pulling them towards the door. She could not bear this kind of sensitive conversation with her younger sister, especially when she was a virgin.
"No! We have something important to discuss here!" Eve and Evan both held one side of the door to make sure they were not thrown out and stayed in the room while glared at her.
"How can you b3 so heartless, Eli? Throwing us out after patching up with your lover?" Evan pouted as she looked at him as if she was wronged, making Eli speechless.
Taking the benefit of her distraction, they both ran in back and closed the door behind them again.
They both sat on the sofa in a relaxed manner.
"What is it?"
"Now that your love life is solved. We have to talk about your behavior at home." Eli crossed her hands over her chest and her expressions turned grim.
The mischievous smile from her face disappeared like it was never there in the first place.
"What about it?"
"You have changed Eli. I did not know how our parents were so careless to mess up all of their children and lose them in the end. You are the one who I have grown up with.
And even if Ethan came and claimed his position as head of the family in future or the eldest child. It would not change the fact that you are my sister. Blood or not, you are the one who has been with me up and down. How could you just discard me in the name of justice.
Do you think emotions die just like that? Just because a new tree was brought to the wet sand, it did not mean that you can pluck and throw the old tree whose roots are deeper and were supporting other trees!" Eve\'s chest heaved up and down as her voice turned wetter, the tears were just on the brink of falling.
She could not believe that her strong sister was giving up on everything just like that!
Like they were never close in the first place. How could she be so selfish!
"Father is worried Eli, if you continued to behave like that, father would throw Ethan away no matter if he is their real child or not.
He can not see you hurt. You must have seen how he had threatened the royal family. He even threw a firearm by using the glass bottles. The whole empire is gossiping about it!" Evan hugged Eve while her face turned soft.
She did not have that close connection with both of them but she could feel how they both were feeling since she was standing in the same place just a month ago.
She was only glad that Eli did not have a criminal mind father like her.
"Wait! What did you say? Ethan asked for the position of eldest child and heir of the family?" ignoring all the other words, Eli frowned when she thought of Leo being challenged. but her words only agitated Evelyn further.
"Did you only hear this? I could not believe this? Am i a crow that was barking so you are ignoring me completely huh?"
