"May I?" Lenora stepped forward. Everyone turned to look at her. She was the only one other than Megara who didn't look shaken up. Evan's attention turned towards her as he waited for her to speak.
Cherine was practically sweating and knew very well that she messed up. To think Lenora was the first one to step forward clearly gave away her clever strategy and Cherine couldn't help but curse herself for getting provoked.
Megara slowly turned to face him, Evan's gaze traveled from Lenora to Megara and his pupils slightly dilated upon seeing Megara's red cheek. He immediately understood why the little one was crying. Immense anger coursed through his body, her blind eyes trying to aimlessly find him.
Without a thought, he strode up to her. His large hand caressing her red cheek took her by surprise as well as the others around them. If he touched her like that, their suspicion would be confirmed.
