Chapter 545
Evelynn almost wanted to say that she was trash but then felt that it would be degrading herself too much. Furthermore, she had thought about this when Davis’s father had said that he wanted to train outside.
Besides, from the time she left to travel with him to the First Layer, she realized that she had not done any significant help, only following and hiding behind his back till they arrived here to the Ethren City.
And the first thing she did was get caught in trouble and managed to implicate him by just existing as a woman. She felt guilty because of this matter but at the same time, realized that she was nothing but an existence who held his legs from taking flight.
Thinking back, he came back for her from the First Layer as promised, married her, made her experience bliss during their first night and the upcoming four years.
She already felt content and entirely satisfied in her life except for one little matter which she didn’t dare to compel him.
’How can I impose myself on him further?’
Evelynn wryly convinced herself.
’If I imposed myself on him further and made him bring me outside, wouldn’t I bring him more trouble by just being with him?’
’This isn’t the Grand Sea Continent where we can stay unbridled…’
’It’s better that I stay here and improve my cultivation… Then, when I can finally stand by his side while having the capability to resolve the problems by myself, I can think about traveling the First Layer with him…’
Nodding her head inwardly, Evelynn stated her thoughts in four words, “I am already content.”
Davis pursed his lips and looked at her calm expression with a smile. He kept smiling at her like a fool.
Behind his expression, he wanted nothing more than to rip off that calm facade of her face.
“I’ll be training out for an unknown number of years, is that fine?”
Evelynn blinked before she nodded her head.
’Oh, then how about this?’
Davis became impressed by her resistance but since he decided to tease her and rip off her facade, he didn’t hold back.
“It is also possible that I would not return for well over twenty years, is that fine?”
Evelynn’s eyelids trembled as her lips moved but failed to voice out. It was only when she moved her mouth again did she voice out her acceptance, “I can wait.”
Davis’s eyes slightly twitched, ’Good, good, my wife, you’ve definitely matured, capable of holding back your emotions.’
However, he still wasn’t willing to give up, ’But that is only to some degree…’
He pondered for a second before a devious curve appeared on his lips before it turned pitiful.
“During my journey, it is also…” Davis paused for a few seconds, acting as if he were hesitant to say, “… This…”
He smacked his lips and finally said with a sigh, “It is also possible that I might inadvertently fall in love with another woman…”
Evelynn’s eyes narrowed into two tiny slits as her whole body trembled. Even then, she did not change her expression as she tried hard to keep a poker face.
’Just a little more push and she’ll be whining to take her with me…’ Davis inwardly derived pleasure from seeing her facade rip off little by little.
He didn’t stop, “Of course, I have promised you that without your consent, I would not act on these thoughts but what if…”
“… It is an unavoidable situation…”
Evelynn’s trembling finally stopped as her expression finally changed into a grimace. At that moment, numerous figures flashed past her eyes but only three of them were prominent within those countless figures.
Ellia, Princess Shirley, and Princess Isabella.
Surprisingly, her grimace just appeared for a second before being replaced by a calm look.
And then…
Unexpectedly, she nodded her head!!
Davis smirked and waited for her to beg him to take her but then a moment later, his smile slowly faded away as he realized that he had just witnessed nod her head.
“W-What!?” Davis became shocked as he inadvertently took a step back.
He tilted his head and looked at Evelynn in confusion, “Did I just see you nod?”
Davis felt the need to validate arise within him as he felt his mind playing tricks on him but to his level that was impossible! Unless Evelynn mastered Illusions to a certain level that equals him, it remained quite impossible.
Evelynn nodded her head again as her cheeks flushed red, “As long as it’s just one woman…”
Davis had his mouth go agape in disbelief.
’As long as it’s just one woman?’
It took him a moment to process what she said before he pointed his finger at her, “You are not kidding right?”
Evelynn felt regret the moment she said it, however, she knew she could not keep him to herself. Initially, Princess Shirley was supposed to be his first wife but somehow, they revoked their marriage and she got to hog himself to her.
As a Prince, especially a Crown Prince, he could’ve definitely had his way with her but he didn’t do so, even going far as to say that he will heed her consent.
Forget the Crown Prince! As the most powerful male in the Grand Sea Continent, he could’ve had any number of women he wanted but he didn’t do so!
There were so many females who will say yes to his proposals if he so desired them but he didn’t ask! Even with powerful women revealing their intentions, like Princess Shirley, he still remained faithful to her.
Although narcissistic, it was well within logic to think that it was all because of her!
However, faithfulness was one thing and desire was another. From time to time, she could see him think about other women. She felt that it might be just a matter of time before he broke his vow to her.
Hence, she felt that it was better to give him some leeway and let his desire be fulfilled.
She wanted to be with him no matter what! But more than that… She didn’t want to see him break his vow to her.
Neither didn’t she want some other woman to take him away from her without her knowledge!
Instead of making him lose interest in her by staying passive, she felt the need to have him by her side, and for that, she believed that actively pleasing him is the only way.
She took a deep breath and answered, “I consent to you having another woman but I believe in you…”
Davis felt a stab in his back while also simultaneously he felt a zap in his mind.
’I believe in you?’
’As expected…’
’What is this? Is she testing my faithfulness?’ Davis inwardly scoffed.
He had already said to Evelynn way before that if he truly started to fall in love with someone, he would take the chance instead of locking it deep within his heart. The only thing which would not let him take the next step with another woman would be her consent but she gave it to him right now.
What a joke!
It was like placing a tantalizing meat on the table and telling him that she believes in him that he will not eat the meat just when his desire had suddenly spiked because of the visual and the aroma of the meat.
“Remember that you gave your word Evelynn… As for testing my absolute faithfulness, you can forget it! You have successfully tempted me to get another wife!”
Davis shamelessly declared as he waved his arm.
