Chapter 207
Evelyn Roland was organizing her medical kit when Olivia Valdemar's voice reached her ears.
"Evelyn, I can connect you with top-tier celebrity resources."
She looked up to see Olivia holding a pregnancy test report, her cheeks glowing. After a brief pause, Evelyn nodded. "Thank you, Olivia."
Olivia stepped closer, draping an arm over her shoulder with familiarity. "No need for formalities between family."
Evelyn's fingers stilled. She didn't respond.
The living room air thickened with unspoken tension.
Sebastian Valdemar sat silently on the opposite sofa, ignored like a ghost.
"I've sent the address and contact details to your phone," Olivia said, scrolling through her screen. "Will you stay for dinner?"
Evelyn glanced at her wristwatch. She snapped the last silver needle into place. "I'll return for the follow-up on Tuesday. The lab needs me."
As she lifted her medical kit to leave, Sebastian's voice cut through the quiet. "Let me drive you."
Olivia's eyebrows shot up in surprise.
Evelyn didn't turn around. "No need."
The moment the door closed, Olivia burst into laughter. "Well, my matchmaking list just became obsolete." She sighed dramatically. "Fiona Valentine asked about you recently. What a shame..."
Sebastian's stomach twisted at the mention of Fiona's pretentious mannerisms.
At dawn, Evelyn sat in a diner.
Steam from hot soy milk blurred her vision. She stared at the address on her phone, irritation prickling under her skin.
The celebrity's name alone made her recoil.
The film set's chaos snapped her from her thoughts.
"Cut! Perfect! Ten-minute break!"
The director's shout barely faded when a saccharine voice pierced the air. "Cousin, you're amazing~"
Evelyn's pupils constricted.
Fiona Valentine, clad in costume, clung to the lead actress's arm. When they turned, six eyes collided in midair.
