Chapter 221: Declaration of War
An autumn wind blew, and the evergreen trees that guarded the courtyard of the villa like guards shook their branches and leaves, making a rustling sound.
The barbecue tools in the courtyard have completed their mission, and the carbon fire will be extinguished, and it will be placed there at will.
Naturally, Evan's friends split into two groups, the men sitting in the shade of the trees in the courtyard and playing their common social game, the Plane Walker's House cards, and the women in the house.
Rick's female companion, Lillian Schulaire, did not hide her identity. I heard that her family specializes in selling cosmetics, and the women who love beauty will naturally not let her go, and pull her to exchange makeup skills together.
By the way, the most interested of the five women in this technique is the one who is kerol. Although she was the most ordinary of the few, she performed remarkably, making Linda and Lilian, who were just new acquaintances, look at her more.
In the courtyard, it was Rick who was fighting against Evan.
"My turn. β
After Rick's declaration, he drew a card from the deck.
Across the street, Evan took the opportunity to pick up a coke on the table with ice and take a sip while glancing at a window in the house. Through the window, the figures of several ladies loomed.
Rick thought for less than a second before deciding on a play strategy, and after playing a card, he realized that Evan was wandering.
"What are you looking at?" Rick asked, then followed Evan's line of sight, "Voyeurism is not a gentleman's behavior. β
"I didn't peep......" Evan denied directly, and then manipulated his cards to defuse one of Rick's attacks.
"It's really bad luck, I didn't expect you to have cards to fight back. "It's really interesting what the women are talking about, and I can understand it, so you don't have to be embarrassed," Rick said. β
"It's my turn, draw cards. Evan added a card to his hand and again denied it, "I'm not interested in that, you don't need to understand." β
"Speaking of women, Rick, how did you meet Lilian?" In order to prevent Rick from holding on to this topic, Evan resolutely resumed the conversation.
Orville and the others next to him heard Evan's question and coaxed: "Rick, tell me quickly, we are also interested." β
Rick is a man who is willing to share, but he chooses to take a detour to the request, and copes with it with a simple explanation: "We met at a banquet. β
Then, Rick suddenly made a look of sudden realization, looked at Evan and said, "Evan, I know why you are absent-minded?"
Evan looked at him left and right, "What are you talking about? My turn is over, it's your turn!"
Rick said with a smirk, "Of the ladies in the house, apart from Audrey, one of them seems to have an unusual relationship with you......"
Evan was unmoved, "Of course, Virginia is my own sister. β
"No, no, no, you know I didn't mean her. Rick shook his head, "That little girl, Linda, she has unusual feelings for you. β
"At noon, when you were busy with the barbecue, she circled around you like a curious baby, and at the time I thought she was just like a sister worshipping her brother, but now in retrospect, it doesn't seem like that. β
"It's like you're an expert in feelings. Evan said angrily.
Unexpectedly, Rick nodded, "In terms of feelings, I must be the more professional one between you and me." β
Just when Evan was speechless, in the room, five women shared each other's beauty techniques like friends who had known each other for many years.
Of course, as the heir of L'OrΓ©al, Lillian was the eldest of the several people, and had the most knowledge and experience in how to maintain beauty, so she was almost alone in the end, and the others listened and practiced like students.
"The weather is dry in winter, you need to pay attention to the skin, I have a few methods here, you can try it......"
An enthusiastic Lilian stood in the middle of the living room, talking.
Audrey suddenly noticed that the teapot was about to empty, and after a reckless confession, she got up and walked to the kitchen.
After Audrey leaves, Linda makes an excuse and stands up as well.
Looking in the direction Linda left, Virginia hesitated for a moment, but finally decided not to meddle in their affairs.
Linda came to the kitchen and carefully looked at everything inside, the house was very new, and the rest of the house had not been renovated much, except that the kitchen had been completely remodeled.
The new kitchen is clean white overall, with a clean aesthetic.
Linda knew that this different design was made by Evan.
Audrey is holding an electric kettle and is catching water in front of the faucet. She noticed Linda entering the kitchen, but didn't look back to say hello.
Linda stretched out her right hand, her slender index finger sliding over the edge of the kitchen cabinet.
"It's so beautiful here!"
Linda broke the peace of the kitchen first.
Audrey put the kettle on the socket and pressed the switch before turning to look at Linda.
"Thanks for the compliment!"
Linda met Audrey's gaze and smiled after a long time: "He is so good to you!"
"It's a shame......"
Audrey's face sank, and an inexplicable flame quietly grew in her eyes.
"He means Evan?"
"She really thinks about Evan!"
"She's provoking me?"
Audrey calmed down and asked, "What is the pity?"
Linda said, "It's a pity that you don't deserve him!"
"One of you shines as bright as the sun in the sky, and the other is as small as a grain of sand, do you think you can finally come together?"
Audrey didn't answer her question, but asked rhetorically again, "I'm not worthy, do you think you're more qualified than me?"
Linda replied proudly, "Of course." β
She didn't explain why.
Audrey was silent for a moment, and then suddenly smiled: "It's a pity, it's not up to you to decide whether you are worthy or not." β
"What's more, it's not the ones you value that decide whether I can go down with him, but the ......"
Linda asked, "And what?"
Audrey said, "It's love." β
"I love him, he loves me, so we came together, not you. β
"As long as there is love, we can always go on together. β
Linda looked at Audrey, whose face was radiant when she said the word love, stunned for a moment, and then her face darkened.
"You're right. β
"He liked you first. β
"I feel that I am better than you everywhere, but this is the only one that I have lost to you. β
Audrey opened her mouth slightly in surprise, thinking, "Hey, we are rivals in love, admit defeat in front of rivals in love, is this okay?"
"Is this girl really a college student? really...... Silly cute. β
Linda also seemed to realize that she had lost her words, and then her face froze, and then she bit her silver teeth and deliberately said with a straight face: "I don't mean that I admit defeat when I say this." β
"The reason why I came to you alone is because I want to tell you something. β
"What's the matter?"
"Evan is the only one for me and I'm going to make him like me. β
Oh, she didn't come to provoke, but to declare war in the open. 8)
