"Ah, just ignore what I said, okay?"Evangeline quickly steered the conversation elsewhere. "What if... we go check on Celina downstairs? Or we could increase the security in the old house. I mean, if David decides to go all out and break into this house, we'd be sitting ducks, right?"While Evangeline rambled on, Roslyn's voice floated over, almost like she was talking to herself, "How do you know... I haven't already done whatever it takes?"Her voice was a whisper, barely audible except for the questioning lilt at the end.Looking back at her best friend, Evangeline saw only the heavy sadness etched on Roslyn's face.Roslyn was head over heels for Yale, and with her fiery spirit, there was no way she had not tried her best.'Maybe it's just not in the cards,' she thought.Roslyn quickly looked away, locking away her sadness."That's why I can't stand watching David be so spineless with Celina. Liking someone means going all in, right? It's not like there's no emotion involve

The day, full of thrills and excitement, ended with the three so-called sisters making amends.However, as night fell on the old Foster family house, the end of the day did not mean the end of the excitement.Under the glow of the full moon, a lanky figure emerged at the house's gate. He did not bother with the doorbell, instead veering right.The Fosters' yard was encircled by a towering wall, save for one section that was curiously lower.The man stopped there, deftly produced a rope, and tied it to a grappling hook with a practiced hand before tossing it over the wall.The hook snagged something solid, and after a quick test of the knot, he began his ascent.It was David, the midnight wall-scaler.Taking a page from Roslyn's playbook, David knew that if he wanted to win love, he would have to do everything he could. Since walking through the front door of the Foster family's old house in broad daylight was a no-go, he had to go with... that plain and simple plan.Whether or

David's words were so firm that even Evangeline was touched.If only Walter would say something like that to her…Without realizing it, she squeezed Celina's hand a little tighter.Celina, mistaking Evangeline's gesture for impatience, instinctively stepped back.It was not that she hated David or held any deep grudge. It was just that the memories were too clear, too present. She was scared to her core of being hurt by him again. The agony she had felt once was more than enough for a lifetime…Roslyn was not done talking."You think Celina would marry you without even a proper proposal? Dream on!"What's more, what will you do with Celina after you marry her? You, who only ever thinks about work? Are you going to hurt her again like you did before?"Roslyn could tell from Celina's ghost-white face that something terrible had happened between her and David. She was only guessing, but her words hit the nail on the head.Then…"I swear, I will never let Celina suffer like that

The moment David's declaration hung in the air, Celina's eyes widened in shock. She stared at him in disbelief."Do you even hear yourself?"The words slipped out before she could stop them.However, she could not help it. She had heard lines like that before, but that was the first time they felt real, the first time someone had chosen her so resolutely."I know exactly what I'm saying." David's words felt like a final verdict, plunging Celina into an abyss.In that pitch-black moment, arms reached out, pulling her into a tight embrace.It took her a moment to realize she was actually in David's arms."Weren't you tied up?"David glanced at the ropes littering the floor and gave a roguish grin. "Even knots have their ways of coming undone, you know?"Celina, can we just not overthink things for once?"He pulled her in closer, her head resting against his chest once more.He would not tell Celina that Roslyn had left him a little escape trick—a slip knot that came loose with

Yale was panicking on the phone, but that was just the reaction Evangeline was aiming for.Knowing Yale, he had heard about Roslyn's arrival at the Foster family's old house the second she walked in. If Yale was trying to dodge Roslyn, how would they ever bump into each other?Evangeline had to stir the pot. She had to throw in a curveball that would send Yale racing back to the old house, straight into Roslyn's path.Friction was what sparked a fire, right? If two people never bumped into each other, how were they supposed to ignite a romance?Evangeline was thinking of an excuse to make her return to Yale unavoidable, but then David showed up at the perfect time. She could not let such a golden chance slip by.The first golden beams of the morning were shining, warm and inviting. Evangeline, who was usually the queen of sleeping in, found herself up at the crack of dawn.The living room, which had been a total mess, was spotless, thanks to the servants. No one would guess tha
