Chapter 801 Apologize

“Stephen, you finished your meeting already? Where’s Evie?” Zayla turned her gaze toward’s Stephen and looked in the direction behind him.

Stephen regained his gentle demeanor once again. He was about to say something when Evie swiftly emerged from behind him.

Zayla and Evie began chatting in no time, and they got along very well.

When Stephen saw Evie’s smile, he was momentarily filled with indescribable guilt.

However, Zayla was his sister, and Stephen could not look the other way. Especially considering her previous failed marriage.

If Lincoln was two-timing, it was only suitable for Stephen, the brother, to defend his sister.

Despite Stephen’s attempts to convince himself, he could not shake off the heavy weight on his chest when he faced Evie and saw her glowing smile.

Stephen then approached them.

“Are we having pumpkin soup for our afternoon refreshments?”

Zayla acknowledged with a nod as she proudly raised the bowl.

“That’s right; Dad made it.”

Stephen chuckled, unable to keep the secret any longer, so he let it slip…

“Dad made the soup for Mom and just happened to bring some for you.”

Zayla then replied, “I can’t argue with that.”

Their parents had true love, and Zayla’s relationship did not.

Theodore approached and asked, “How does it taste?”

Zayla and Evie both nodded in agreement, confirming that it was tasty.

Following that, Stephen joined Evie’s side, his gaze fixed on the bowl she held, as he questioned, “Is there some for me too?”

Evie paused for a moment with the soup spoon in her hand.

“But I’ve already taken a sip of this soup…”

“I know.”

Evie offered her bowl to Stephen, saying,

“You can have it.”

Stephen took the bowl from her and had a few mouthfuls.

“It’s delicious.”

Zayla remarked casually, “I prepared this for Evie, Stephen. You just happened to be included.”

Stephen could not help but laugh when he heard that.

Evie was at a loss for words as her gaze fixed on the bowl in her hand.

Evie then pondered, “But I’ve already had some…”

Stephen spoke softly, making sure only him and Evie could hear, and inquired,

“What’s the matter?”

Evie shook her head.

Stephen chuckled and whispered in Evie’s ear, “I know you couldn’t finish it.”

Evie then turned to look at Stephen.

Stephen quietly added, “I’m sorry for what just happened.”

Evie was surprised and shook her head, asking, “Why do you need to apologize?”

Stephen confronted his mistake and tried to improve, admitting, “I could have expressed myself better.”

“Yes, you’re not; why would even you be mad with me?”

Evie nodded in agreement, acknowledging Stephen’s point.

However, he shifted the conversation the next moment and said, “But it would upset you.”

Evie felt her heart skip a beat, and her eyes were red.

Stephen set the empty bowl down on the coffee table.

At this point, only Zayla had not finished her meal.

Dad’s cooking skills were inconsistent, and the pumpkin soup was too sweet today. But as his children, they could not discourage Dad.

Zayla could not figure out how Stephen had finished eating, considering he most detested sweet food.

Zayla questioned inwardly, “Perhaps

Stephen knew that Evie couldn’t finish her meal, so he stepped in to help?”

Right when Zayla was about to down it in one breath, a hand swiftly reached out and snatched the bowl from her grasp.

“Lincoln?”

Zayla gazed at Lincoln as he tilted his head back, polishing off the entire bowl of pumpkin soup.

“Father, it’s delicious,” Lincoln commented, placing the empty bowl on the coffee table.

Theodore could not stop smiling as he saw the two empty bowls beside each other.

“When I cook for Scarlet again, I’ll prepare some extra.”

After saying that, Theodore left with a cheerful smile, planning to ask Robert about his thoughts on the taste.
