Chapter 77 Know Your Place Hearing the scream, Lily hurried downstairs, her footsteps quickening as she spotted Daniella’s return.

Without hesitation, she approached her and spoke, “Ms. Love.”

However, Daniella fixed Lily with a fierce glare. “You need to change the way you address me.”

Lily’s fear was palpable as she stammered, “Ma… Madam.”

Daniella averted her gaze and demanded, “Where’s my supper?”

“I’ll cook it now,” Lily replied, her voice filled with urgency.

“Be more sensible! I need a nutritious meal, especially since I’m pregnant,” Daniella snapped.

With anger still lingering, Daniella angrily sank into the sofa and questioned, “Where’s Evan?”

“He’s not home yet,” Lily responded Clatter!

Daniella raised her hand and pushed away the fruits on the tea table. “Call him and inform him that I’m feeling sick. Ask him to conte home now.”

Shuddering, Lily retrieved her phone and nodded, “Okay…”

Evan was in the midst of arranging for Reuben to deliver food to Caroline when he caught sight of Scott out of the corner of his eye. Scott was approaching, carrying a bag.

Evan narrowed his eyes, and as Scott reached his car, he rolled down the window.

“Doctor Wilson.” Evan’s voice was icy.

Scott halted and looked at Evan. “Mr. Jordan.”

Evan glanced at the food in Scott’s bag and sneered, “I see you’re very eager to take care of Caroline.

Scott smiled. “Caroline won’t take good care of herself. As her friend, I should visit her more often.”

“But it’s quite a distance from the hospital. Don’t you think it’s meddlesome?” Evan scoffed.

Scott responded indifferently, “If you don’t find it meddlesome, why should I? Besides, I’ve transferred to a hospital in the countryside.”

Evan pursed his thin lips, his expression tense.

“Did you do that for Caroline?” he questioned.

Scott faked a smile before he nodding. “Both she and I are single. Why not?”

Coldly, Evan averted his gaze and stepped out of the car, clutching the takeout Reuben had purchased.

He walked toward the stairs.

Scott frowned, his voice low. “Mr. Jordan, you shouldn’t have made things difficult for Caroline.”

Evan straightened his back and looked at Scott, his tone icy. “You have no right to meddle in that.”

Scott caught up with Evan. “Mr. Jordan, it’s true that you can’t forget about Caroline, but your fiancée shouldn’t take it out on her. Caroline doesn’t deserve your fiancée’s rebukes because of you.” 1 Evan snorted, dismissing Scott’s words, and proceeded into the corridor.

Carrying the takeout, they arrived at Caroline’s door, where Evan knocked.

Before long, Caroline opened the door, her surprise evident when she saw the two men wearing. grim expressions.

Furrowing her brows, she asked, “Evan, are you bored?”

Gloom clouded Evan’s face.

This woman doesn’t do me any favors. Can’t she leave me a shred of dignity?”

Suppressing his anger, he prepared to raise his hand, but his phone rang, interrupting the tense.

moment Reluctantly, he retrieved his phone and answered the call. “Speak.”

Lily’s voice trembled on the other end, “Sir, Ma… Madam is feeling sick.”

The corridor was very quiet, so everyone could hear Lily’s voice from his phone.

Caroline sneered and looked at Evan. “Evan, your fiancee is feeling sick. You should hurry home.”

Evan ended the call and directed his displeased gaze at Caroline. After a prolonged pause, he turned to leave.

Scott looked at Caroline, concern etched on his face, “Caroline, I…”

Caroline shifted her body. “Come in. Paige will be here soon.”

wwwwwww Scott sighed and walked into her house with the food.

When Evan returned to Villa Rosa, he made his way upstairs and entered the room. Inside, he found Daniella lying in bed, her face stained with tears.

Upon seeing him, she quickly wiped her tears and sat up. “Evan, I’m sorry. I have a slight pain in my belly. Lily got worried and called you.”

Her voice carried a mix of tenderness and sorrow.

Evan approached the bed and sat beside her, his expression softening slightly. “Next time, ask Lily to call the family doctor if you’re feeling unwell.”

Daniella pursed her lips and nodded, then looked up at him with a careful gaze.

“Evan, can you spend more time with me? I haven’t had much of an appetite lately.”

“I have a lot of matters to attend to,” Evan replied, gently turning her down.

Disappointment flickered in Daniella’s eyes as she lowered her gaze, but a scheming glint soon flashed across them.

When she looked up again, her voice carried a hint of daze. “Evan, there’s something I want to tell you.”

Evan nodded. “Go ahead.”

“Master Xander mentioned that I bear a striking resemblance to his late daughter..

Evan’s eyes narrowed slightly. “So, he invited you to his house more often?”

Daniella nodded, her nervousness apparent.

“Evan, I won’t go if you dislike it.”

“Just go if Evan said, rising from his seat.

“It’s late now. Get some rest.”

Seeing that he was about to leave, Daniella quickly reached out and grabbed his hand.

“Evan, can you stay with me tonight?”

Evan’s expression darkened.

“Ella, there are things I can offer you, but not everything. It would be wise for you to maintain a sense of propriety.”

Daniella was stunned as she watched Evan walk away.

Gradually, her face contorted into a grotesque expression the moment the door closed.

‘So he won’t see me as long as Caroline is alive, huh? Or does he care about no one else but that bitch?‘

Daniella regained her cold and malicious composure as she reached for her phone on the bedside
