My body wasn't seriously injured; the doctor said rest at home was enough.
Evander insisted on carrying me out, refusing to let me walk. Augustus Wrenford's face darkened, and at that moment, he finally erupted. He grabbed my arm tightly.
"Larissa, didn't you say you wanted to go home?"
I pried his fingers open one by one, and red marks were left on my skin.
"Yes, I'm going to my boyfriend's house. Is that wrong, Leopold?"
"Larissa, don't regret it." Augustus Wrenford scoffed bitterly, almost growling through gritted teeth.
Regret?
I only regretted not realizing my true feelings sooner.
I regretted being a fool in my past life, endlessly manipulated by Augustus Wrenford.
Evander gently placed me in the car, carefully fastening my seatbelt.
He started the car, slammed the accelerator, and sped off.
On the way, his hand gently cupped mine, never letting go.
When we arrived at home, I felt uncomfortable all over and wanted to take a shower.
Evander thoughtfully prepared the bath water.
From the storage cabinet, he pulled out an unopened bottle of essential oil.
He opened it, and it was the jasmine scent I loved.
Then, Evander opened the walk-in closet, selecting a set of loungewear with the price tag still attached.
It fit me perfectly.
I was a bit puzzled.
Evander scratched his head, his ears turning red.
"I thought it would suit you when we were shopping, so I bought it."
"You bought so many?"
I pointed to the female clothing occupying most of the closet behind him. All of it was new.
It was all the brands I liked.
"Don't misunderstand, I'm just... just..." I winked at him, expecting him to continue.
Evander sighed, his expression no longer hiding anything.
"What's wrong with buying clothes for your girlfriend?"
Was this still the Evander Whitmore I remembered—shy and sensitive, blushing whenever he spoke to me? In my previous life, up until the moment I died in the psychiatric hospital, Evander and I never had much interaction. It wasn't until after I died that I realized the depth of his love for me.
