"Very well, you have asked for it."

Mark's sly smile displayed his mischievousness as his narrowed eyes met Angel's. He was not backing down, and now it was a challenge to see who would emerge victorious.

With a penetrating gaze that made Angel inwardly nervous, he began to unbutton his shirt.

Each button undone caused Angel to shiver, her hands clammy and her mouth slightly agape, releasing a sigh of emotion.

By the third button, Mark realized that Angel was becoming increasingly anxious. A smirk played at the corner of his lips.

"Feeling a little under the weather, sly fox? Should I put an end to this?" Mark's voice was taunting, adding to Angel's growing unease. His eyes took in her body, noticing her emotional changes, while his own body reacted to her trembling.

Despite her inner turmoil, Angel refused to give in. "I'm...I'm not backing down. I will win this challenge!"

She roared with determination, but inside, she couldn't deny her trembling.

    "Are you that dumb? Can't you see I'm sick?! Evan's loud shout pierced the air, directed at Evelyn as if she were hard of hearing. But she had already caught his attention, even if she hadn't seen him trying to get her to notice him. When she turned to face him, Evan's expression transformed into that of a frightened kitten, and he quickly retreated under the sheets, pretending to be unaware that Evelyn was now watching him. Evelyn chose not to say a word, but her gaze fell on the beads of sweat on his forehead. She knew it wasn't a fever-induced sweat, as Evan had seemed perfectly fine during breakfast, and a sick person wouldn't have the energy to shout at her like that. To make things easier for herself, Evelyn went to the bathroom, grabbed a towel, and returned to gently wipe away the sweat. She needed to make a quick exit. Evan lay there, looking like a helpless child, as Evelyn wiped his forehead. She deliberately avoided eye contact, gritting her teeth to resist his

Stella's gaze lingered on Angel as she smiled, and Angel sensed the hidden message behind her mother's pleasant expression. Mark, Marlie, and Chad couldn't decipher Stella's hidden agenda and could only praise her display of good behavior. "She is truly a gem," Mark commented. "And so welcoming," Marlie added. "Indeed. I'm glad she's been good company for you, my dear," Chad remarked, placing a hand on Marlie's neck. However, Angel sighed in relief as her mother finally left. The fact that the family believed she was genuinely nice was a bit too much. She scoffed silently and retreated to her room, but Mark's gaze followed her as she left.

He struggled to articulate his question, his nerves getting the best of him. Phil's eyes widened in astonishment at Evan's bold question. He blinked several times, his jaw nearly dropping to the floor. Was he hearing things? He rubbed his ears to confirm the reality of the situation, if it was really Evan he was hearing. "What did you just say?" Phil asked incredulously. Evan blushed with embarrassment, forcing himself to repeat the question. "How can a man entice a woman's attention?" This time, Phil rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't hallucinating. He looked back at Evan, still there in front of him. "No, this must be a dream!"

"You're just trying to trick me." Evan sighed. "I'm telling the truth. Pissy is gone. You can look around if you don't believe me." But Evelyn was adamant. "You're lying! You just want to scare me!" Evan tried to reason with her. "If I wanted to scare you, I wouldn't be holding you right now. Trust me, he's gone." "I don't trust you!" she exclaimed. Evelyn's distrust was palpable.
