Unbeknownst to the two, Elena was leaning in front of Evans' room and hearing all their talk.
Helaan breathed out the little girl's mouth later. His delicate hand also rubbed a speck of tears that pooled at the corner of his fertilizer.
Not wanting to linger there, he decided to return to his room again.
...***...
Evans spent a few more days there before returning to Ocean Blue City.
While there, Evans tried his best to take good care of Elena, from the girl waking up from sleep to closing her eyes.
Honestly speaking, the childhood memories they did not have of each other were enough to make it difficult for Evans to help recover Elena's memories. He couldn't possibly use Iris and Leon's story in his efforts. That girl would think of herself as crazy.
As a result, Evans only takes the usual approach as new people are known. Simultaneously, he also planned to score many moments between them. Thus, Elena's memories of him were expected to return.
"I'm sorry, I must have hurt your feelings" Elena said regretfully.
This was the third time Elena had said such an apology since two days ago, each recalling Evans' story.
With no intention of being covered up, Evans tells the truth about who he is in the Wileen family.
The fact that there was no blood relation between them made Elena feel guilty for her words while in the hospital about an only child.
"It's okay. You just forgot. I understand him," Evans replied casually.
Both are now enjoying the afternoon atmosphere in the yard, with a cup of rosella tea and sweet snacks made by the mother.
"Why did you decide to live abroad when you were 15? We can't have many memories together, can we?" elena asked to know.
Hearing the question the girl asked, Evans fell silent for a moment. "There is no other reason, I just want to live independently" replied the man.
"It's great at 15 to think about independent living." Elena raised her eyebrows. He picked up his rosella tea from the table and sipped a little, before continuing the conversation. "Your life's longing, even make our time together so eroded long."
Evans did not answer. "But we have other memories." Keep the man in heart.
After finishing the mother's tea, the man invited Elena back into the house, because he planned to go out for a while.
"Where to go?" ask Elena.
"I want to see the apartment for a minute." Answer Evans.
"I'm coming!" the girl suddenly.
"No! Your condition is still not recovering properly. Anytime I'll take you there" Evans insisted.
Getting such a rejection, Elena looked annoyed. He forced his brother to take him there.
"I wonder what your place is like. It's possible that I could remember something about you while I was there," Elena said expectantly.
Evans refused it.
The refusal did not dampen Elena's intention to come along. He followed the man until he entered his room.
Looking at Elena's behavior, Kontan alone made Evans sigh riled. It seemed, even under any circumstances, the stubbornness of the girl would never change.
In order to avoid meaningless debate, Evans also chose to give up and allow his sister to join him in the apartment.
"Thank you, brother!" With a joyous cheerful heart, Elena involuntarily scattered herself into the man's embrace and kissed him.
Evans was riveted. Regardless of her brother's attitude, Elena rushed to leave him to change clothes.
He had no idea at all, that Elena's cheeks had now also turned red.
...***...
It didn't take long, the two had arrived at Evans' apartment.
"Said Mama, you were diligent in cleaning my apartment and adding the door lock. You remember?" Evans turned his gaze to Elena who was pecking for a moment.
"What's wrong?" ask the man later.
"Ah ... emm .. anu .. is okay, I'm just trying to remember" Elena replied.
"Then?" Evans raised his eyebrows, hoping the girl could remember something.
However, Elena shook her head while apologizing.
"No need to apologize." Evans smiles.
The man then asked Elena to sit on one of the sofas, while she herself started cleaning her apartment.
Samantha said Elena cleaned her apartment the day before she left for Ocean Blue City.
"Want me to help you?" Elena offered herself. It feels quite bored if you just sit around and watch the action of the brother cleaning the house.
"Just sit there. It won't take long just to suck up the dust that's starting to show up. You can help me by ordering fast food," said the man, cleaning the entire floor with a vacuum cleaner.
"All right." Elena took her phone and started calling fast food restaurants to order food.
After cleaning the entire floor of the apartment and replacing the carpet, bed linen, and curtains, they also had dinner together.
"You really don't want to go back to this house? Papa and Mama must be sad." Elena opened her voice on the sidelines of their dinner.
"I don't want to. It's just hard to leave what I've built in that city. However, that doesn't mean I don't want to go back" Evans replied, referring to his current life in Ocean Blue City.
"Your answer is swirling and confusing. Just go ahead, will it or not? Mama said, you changed your identity too, right?" push the girl.
"On identity, I have to make sure of something first." Evans took his drinking water.
"Sure what?" elena asked curiously.
The questions the girl asked made Evans' head dizzy, not a bitch. If Elena's condition is fine, maybe Evans has thrown spicy sentences as usual.
"Take your food, after this we go home." That was all Evans could say, as if reluctant to answer the girl's question.
Elena looked a little annoyed, but she tried to hold it in and chose to finish the meal.
...***...
After finishing their dinner, Evans invites Elena to watch a movie first before returning home.
That is of course Evans' only reason for their togetherness not to end soon.
"What do you want to see?" asked Evans while fiddling with the list of movies on his smart tv.
"You're the one who asked me to watch, but you asked!" chirp Elena.
Hearing Elena's apology, Evans chose a thriller and sat down next to the girl.
Accompanied by a few cans of fizzy drink, they enjoyed the film's flow in a tense atmosphere.
