Chapter 1357: Chapter 1356: Breach of Promise

Arthur Easton had a plan to drug his older brother tonight, then take the opportunity to... steal the key and go to the basement to see the woman he had never met.

He had no other intentions.

He simply wanted to see what she was really like, and if possible, it would be best to let her go, because Arthur Easton’s brother had cruel ways; who knew how long that woman could survive being held captive?

No exaggeration, she would be tortured to death by his brother sooner or later!

He was already awake, so he probably wasn’t in any serious danger. The doctor said that as long as he rested properly for a while, he would recover.

Thus, Arthur Easton didn’t plan to cause any trouble for the other party.

"Big brother, I’m here." Arthur Easton came over, looking at the man at the dining table, cold as ice, and greeted him.

Then, he belatedly noticed Eva Nightingale...

The girl was petite, wearing a top-quality handmade chiffon silk floral bouffant dress.

Her light brown wavy long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and her bangs lightly brushed her palm-sized face.

From the side, her nose was high and straight, and her features delicate and beautiful.

She was truly a rare beauty, flawless from the side!

Yes, even looking at her profile, without seeing all her features, he could vaguely feel that she was a beauty.

"Big brother... who is this???"

With a face full of question marks passing by, he appeared exceptionally lively, no longer resembling a sickly person. But this was him, always adhering to his usual lively style.

This also eased Arthur Easton’s brother’s cold expression somewhat, making him feel more at ease.

"Brother, aren’t you allergic to contact with women?"

"I heard, just now you carried this woman in?!"

The mental image was enough to blind him with its absurdity.

Damn, this was an explosive scandal rarely seen in a century.

"...Who carried her!" Arthur Easton’s brother wouldn’t admit it, "She is a hostage."

He emphasized specifically, "This is a special hostage. Treat her with some hospitality, let her dine with us, it’s nothing."

Arthur Easton’s brother’s words made all the servants and Arthur Easton involuntarily widen their eyes!

They almost thought they had misheard.

But... after two seconds of stunned bewilderment, they dumbly raised their heads to look at Eva Nightingale, only to be surprised to find out they hadn’t misheard, but it was... real.

At the same time, the woman at the table also looked over here.

A pair of beautiful big almond-shaped eyes, clear and lively, nearly startled Arthur Easton... he didn’t even realize he was a bit dazed.

...

This meal was incredibly awkward.

For the first time, Eva Nightingale couldn’t eat the gourmet food set before her.

Arthur Easton kindly picked out a few pieces of food for her, he truly meant no harm, but Arthur Easton’s brother was too cunning... Eva Nightingale automatically added the second young master’s good intentions to her blacklist, ignoring them.

The dinner ended.

The Housekeeper came up and said, "Second Young Master, it’s time to go to the medical room to change dressings."

"Hmm." Arthur Easton looked at Eva Nightingale, reluctantly leaving.

In the living room, only a few servants, Eva Nightingale, and Arthur Easton’s brother were left.

"Do your words from earlier still count?"

The man: "What words?"

"You said, if I accompanied you for a meal, you’d let me see Charlotte Knight." She remembered clearly, not wanting him to go back on his word.

The man, cold and heartless: "Once you’re full, go upstairs for a bath and sleep. If you can’t sleep, I can accompany you to do something meaningful, and that’s that."

With that, he got up and walked out without looking back.
