A silent room greeted Maya as she woke up again from her sleep. Looking at the clock in the room, Maya knew that she had not slept for too long this time. Maya remembered she slept past midnight after being busy discussing their sudden wedding preparations with Evan and Kevin. But when she woke up, the sky was still dark, while Maya couldn't hear any noise from the surrounding area of her new room.

The clock shows five in the morning. It was still too early for her to wake up. But Maya, didn't hesitate in the slightest as she got up to start the training she had been planning since yesterday.

After spending years in the world where only the strongest could survive, Maya felt that the body she was currently using was just too weak to be her own.

    Finished cleaning herself after exercising, Maya came to the dining room as instructed by the waitress who had previously come to her room to tell her that Evan had woken up and was waiting for her to have breakfast together. Even though Maya was currently just staying at Evan's house, the man didn't seem to intend to treat her disrespectfully. Evan and Kevin had already arrived in the dining room, when Maya finally came in to have breakfast with them."Sorry I kept you guys waiting."As a form of politeness, Maya prefers to wear her previous clothes compared to the oversized clothes she wore to exercise before. Evan seemed to notice the girl was wearing the same clothes as when she had first arrived, as the man kept staring at her for a long time before nodding without saying anything else.A maid swiftly led Maya to her seat.

    "Alright. Everything has been bought. Does Miss Finola need anything else before we go home?"Maya stared in amazement at the pile of bags that Evan's maid was currently carrying.

Previously, the girl had kept insisting that she didn't need that many clothes. But unexpectedly, it turned out that the people who came with her had indeed been given instructions to buy several sets of clothes for Maya this time. Maya had to try on different outfits since then. Starting from pajamas, outdoor clothes, party dresses, casual clothes, to sports clothes are also calculated differently by them.

His wheelchair sped into the house, when a pleasant, strange scent suddenly hit his senses."She really seems to be cooking," Evan muttered under his breath. No one could hear the man's low voice except for Kevin, who was walking next to the man."By the way, you seem to be insisting on getting home early today, so we can get back before dinner time. Jeez, Evan, you should have told me you were really looking forward to today's cooking," Kevin said, half teasing his friend.Evan's automatic wheelchair immediately stopped when he heard Kevin's teasing.

    "Finola ...."Kevin, who was just about to reproach the girl, was stopped by Evan, who suddenly held his hand tightly. Evan's mouth looked like a straight line as the man didn't say anything.

Only when they were in the car, Evan finally open his mouth about the meaning of his nod.“I plan to transfer twenty-five percent of my family's wealth under his name. I really want to give more.
