Evelyn came downstairs and saw Mrs. Caldwell being wheeled in by Vanessa , followed by a crowd of people hauling bags and suitcases . " Well , look who finally decided to show up , " Olivia sneered , lifting her eyelids just enough to meet her gaze . " I thought you were planning to hide in that room for the rest of your life . " Vanessa stood beside her , holding a cup of tea , her voice gentle . " Mrs. Caldwell just finished rehab . The doctor said it's important she moves around more . " " Rehab ? " Evelyn looked at Olivia's legs . Olivia patted her knees proudly . " Surprised ? The doctor said I'm recovering well . Give it a little more time and I'll be back to normal . " She raised a hand and pointed upstairs . " Vanessa's moving in today . It's easier for her to take care of me . Your opinion isn't needed . " Evelyn said nothing , only curled her lips into a faint smile and looked toward Brandon . He pressed his lips together and muttered , " Evelyn already agreed . " Olivia was taken aback for a moment , then snorted . " Finally acting like you've got some sense . " Vanessa immediately lit up and clung to Olivia's arm affectionately . " Let me take your luggage upstairs , Mrs. Caldwell . " Olivia patted her hand . " Go ahead . Pick any room you like . " Vanessa's eyes sparkled . She dashed upstairs , practically humming . Moments later , a loud crash echoed from above . Evelyn looked up and saw Vanessa directing the housemaids to take down the wall art in the hallway . It was the painting she and Brandon had picked out together - depicting the beach from their first date . " This painting's awful , " Vanessa said with a laugh . " Doesn't match the new decor at all . Totally ruins the vibe . " Then she pointed to the photos on the wall . " Let's get rid of these too . They're such an eyesore . " One by one , the pictures were yanked down . Among them was their wedding photo . Brandon stood at the top of the stairs , frowning slightly . He looked like he wanted to say something - but in the end , he just turned to Evelyn . " Let them do what they want . We can rehang everything later . " Evelyn forced a smile . She said nothing .

" Olivia nodded at once . " Smart girl . Very considerate . " Brandon instinctively glanced at Evelyn , as if expecting her to object . But Evelyn simply nodded . " Alright . I'll move to the guest room . " She turned to go upstairs . Brandon grabbed her wrist . " Something's off with you . " Evelyn looked back at him . " What is it ? Weren't you the one who said she should move in ? " " But you ... " Brandon's brows furrowed . "You wouldn't have reacted like this before . " " Before ? " She let out a soft laugh . " Isn't this exactly what you wanted ? " She pulled her hand free and walked straight into the master bedroom , quietly packing her things without another word . Brandon followed , leaning against the doorframe as he watched her fold her clothes , one by one , into the suitcase . Finally , he couldn't hold it in . " What's going on with you ? " Evelyn didn't even look up . " Making room for you two . " Brandon's throat tightened , but he said nothing . At 7 p.m. , Evelyn came down for dinner . At the table , Olivia , Vanessa , and Brandon were already seated . The table was covered in dishes . Vanessa was just placing a piece of fish into Olivia's bowl . Olivia beamed . " Vanessa really knows how to take care of people . " Brandon looked up and saw Evelyn . He waved her over . " Come eat . " Evelyn walked over and sat down . But as her eyes swept across the table , she froze . Every dish - every single one - contained something she was allergic to . Shrimp . Mango . Peanuts . She lifted her gaze and locked eyes with Olivia , who wore a mocking little smile . Brandon , completely unaware , placed a shrimp into Vanessa's bowl . " Try this . Your favorite . " Vanessa smiled sweetly . " Thanks , Brandon . " Then he ladled a bowl of soup for Olivia . Chapter 3 11.54 % She lifted her gaze and locked eyes with Olivia , who wore a mocking little smile .

When he finally looked toward Evelyn and noticed she hadn't touched a thing , he frowned . " Don't be childish . You still need to eat . " Evelyn sat in stunned silence . He didn't remember . She was severely allergic to seafood . Once , just a bite of shrimp had sent her to the ER in the middle of the night . Brandon had stayed by her side the entire time , red - eyed and panicked . He held her hand and said , " From now on , I'll make sure you never touch anything you're allergic to again . " Now he was feeding shrimp to someone else - and didn't even realize what he'd forgotten . Evelyn lowered her eyes . Picked up her knife and fork and quietly ate a single stalk of bok choy . Olivia suddenly spoke . " Brandon , Vanessa's been with you so long and hasn't asked for anything . She just wants a proper wedding . What do you think ? " Brandon's chopsticks paused mid - air . He instinctively looked at Evelyn . Vanessa put on a pitiful look . " Mrs. Caldwell , don't pressure him . I - I'm fine , really . ' Olivia patted her hand . " Nonsense . You can't be expected to stay by his side with no title or recognition . " A few seconds of silence passed . Brandon hesitated . " Let me talk to Evelyn about it first . " " No need , " Evelyn said suddenly . Everyone looked at her . She set down her tableware , voice steady . " Do it . Have the wedding .
