Evans pov

Hearing the footsteps Jasmine turned and our eyes met. Her face was looking pale, as if she would fall any moment. I moved forward and held her hand. The man looked at me with narrowed eyes yet there was a smirk on her face.

"Is there some problem?" The man was giving a negative feeling. His aura was too strong. i stood in front of her instinctively when she finally broke her silence.

"Evan, you are here early. I thought you were going to take time.`` I looked at her and then at the man, yet I said nothing.

"This is my relative, he was worried about me so he came to meet me. But relatives are not allowed at the palace. That is why we are meeting here like this." She held my hand and tried to pull me back.

"He is your relative?" didn't she say that she had no one except her mother. Her brother and father had already died? Then how did she have another relative?
