The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1745

"I don't intend to eavesdrop. I just want to ask when can you go out."

Evangeline felt very embarrassed, especially when she heard the name of Maximilian Bay, so she paused for a moment. She didn't expect that Zion would find out about it.

In fact, even if she found out, it was not a big deal. It was just that the name Maximilian suddenly made her realize something.

Maybe Zion knew that Maximilian had come to find him.

He was investigating the identity of Maximilian's identity. Was he suspicious of him?

Thinking of this, Evangeline's face turned pale.

Zion narrowed his eyes slightly and said lightly, "It's okay. Is it boring to be alone down there?"

"Yes."

Evangeline nodded. She did come up because she was bored. Who knew that she would hear these things?

"Then stay here. I'll check something. You can play by yourself."

Zion didn't pay much attention to it. He continued typing on the keyboard, but Evangeline hesitated.

"I, I'd better go down. Don't disturb your work."

Moreover, she knew exactly how secretive Zion's job was.

She loved him and did not want to be his burden. And hence, she did not want to abuse their relationship and cross his boundary.

Without waiting for Zion's response, Evangeline quickly turned around and left.

Zion admired Evangeline's attitude, but he knew that Evangeline must be feeling bad.

He suddenly stood up.

"Wait."

"Hmm?"

Evangeline's heart skipped a beat.

Was he going to ask her about Maximilian?

Evangeline suddenly felt nervous and her palms were sweating.

She watched as Zion walked toward her step by step. Her body seemed to be filled with pressure, and she subconsciously wanted to take a step back. However, Zion held her hand and whispered, "I'll go down and cook you something delicious. You can eat something when you're bored."

"Ah?"

Evangeline was stunned.

What the hell?

Good food?

Didn't they just finish eating for over an hour?

What was he going to cook?

Ignoring Evangeline's surprise, Zion took her hand and went downstairs.

Evangeline was completely brought down. Her heart was in a mess and she couldn't describe how she felt.

She wanted to tell Zion that she was not familiar with Maximilian, but she swallowed her words.

Zion didn't ask. If he took the initiative to confess, many things would have to be said.

Since he didn't say it back then, he certainly couldn't say it now.

Evangeline bit her lower lip and frowned.

"Sit on the sofa for a while."

Zion sat Evangeline on the sofa and went to the kitchen.

Evangeline didn't know what delicious food he was going to cook, but she was a little worried.

Unexpectedly, Zion had targeted Maximilian.

Generally speaking, those who were targeted by Zion would not run away.

But if Maximilian is exposed, wouldn't the deal between her and his master be exposed?

Should she remind Maximilian?

Evangeline's mind went blank.

After Zion entered the kitchen for a while, he brought out a few puddings and fruit jelly. They were all custom-made. Evangeline was swayed by these things and couldn't help asking, "Did you make them?"

"It's amazing, isn't it?"

Zion touched her head with a faint smile and said, "You go to play for a while. I'll deal with something first." "Oh."

Evangeline quickly lowered her head.

Sometimes, she was quite contradictory.

On the one hand, she hoped that Zion would ask her. On the other hand, she was afraid that he would ask.

She didn't know how long this mentality could last, but she felt more and more uncomfortable.

"Zion."

Evangeline suddenly stopped Zion.

Zion paused slightly and turned to look at her. "What's wrong?"

"Don't you have anything to ask me?"

"Do you have anything to say to me?"

Zion's words made Evangeline choke.

Could she go to tell him?

Was it possible to do so?

If she could, she wouldn't have waited until now.

She shook her head and did not dare to look into Zion's eyes.

She even thought sadly, did Zion regret having a girlfriend like me?

Seeing that Evangeline didn't speak, Zion didn't force her. He said in a low voice, "Don't think too much. Eat some pudding or something. You'll be in a better mood. I'll go out with you later."

"Okay."

Since Zion had changed the subject, Evangeline naturally wouldn't let it go. However, the nails in her hands had already made her palm bloody.

Zion went back to his room and quickly

hacked into the personal page of Maximilian.

After Maximilian left with his father, they went to H Province, which was located at the border. When they first went there, they were very poor. His father moved goods from the dock for a living and raised him to 18 years old. After Maximilian was admitted to college, his life was improved.

It was said that Maximilian was half working and half studying in college that their family's conditions improved. However, no one knew what Maximilian was doing outside, but their family's conditions became richer at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Zion carefully checked the place where he was working and studying in his college days. It was nothing more than a cafe and a restaurant. However, it was already very difficult for such an industry to pay for his college expenses. How could he have the spare time to make his family rich?

So there must be something that they ignored and didn't investigate clearly.

However, there were too many people who came into contact with Maximilian during that period of time. It was not realistic to ask for investigation one by one.

Zion's investigation was in a dead end.

Who was the master behind Maximilian?

Did he hook up with him during his university days?

Zion frowned tightly.

He didn't want to think about things that he couldn't figure out for the time being. He cleaned up the traces of the computer. Zion turned off the phone and went downstairs. When he saw Evangeline eating happily with the pudding he made, his anxious eyes instantly calmed down.

"Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious. You're amazing. You can even make this."

Evangeline ate it only because she wants a better mood. She didn't expect that she couldn't stop eating.

This Zion must be a treasure boy!

He could even make dessert!

The corners of Evangeline's mouth curled up as she ate. Zion walked over and gently wiped it with her fingers. She said dotingly, "Eat slowly. It's all yours. No one wants to snatch it from you."

It was just a casual action, but it still made Evangeline blush.

"Got it."

She quickly lowered her head to eat pudding, feeling a little different from herself.

However, Zion went to the bathroom with a faint smile. He took out a dry shirt from the washing machine and put it on. Only then did he get up and walk out.

"Let's go out for a walk after we're done eating. Pick a few clothes or something for me."

"Okay."

Of course, Evangeline was happy.

At this moment, the sound of an engine suddenly came from outside. Zion frowned slightly when he heard the sound, but Evangeline suddenly stood up and became

alert.
