    Chapter 773 The Vargas Family


    Tradition Evie closed her eyes, teardrops hung on her long eyshes. She blinked. Tears fell and


    disappeared without a trace. She didn’t know whether she should trust Stephen or not. But whether she


    believed it or not, it was better to be with him than to stay in the Olsen family.


    All these years, she had endured the humiliation and waited for the opportunity. Wasn’t it just to leave


    the Olsen familypletely, no longer live under others, and suffer all kinds of bullying? And now, the


    person who saved her was right in front of her.


    The whole Harper, only Stephen couldpletely get her out of that hell, and she never had to go back


    to be tortured. Evie knew it than anyone else! Stephen noticed her tears. Seeing her silence, he said


    again, “Answer me, tell me you understand, and you will do as I say.” Evie nodded heavily, trying to


    suppress her choking, and whispered, “I see. I will do as you say.” Stephen smiled.


    She could say whatever Stephen wanted her to say, without missing a single word. She was so


    obedient that made him sad. “You are so obedient, it is not in ord with my family tradition.”


    Evie was puzzled, looked up at him, and asked seriously, “What is your family tradition?” She wanted to


    seize the opportunity to learn more about the Vargas family. Stephen looked at her, who was full of


    curiosity. “Do you want to know it?” Evie nodded. “Then tell me, does the wound hurt?”


    “It hurts.” Evie didn’t hesitate. “The horsewhip is dipped in salt water. It hurts a lot.” Hearing it,


    Stephen’s heart trembled. “What is the reason for doing it to you?” “One is because of Eliza’s suicide,


    and the other is because I rejected them a few What happened?”


    “Eliza likes you. Mrs. Olsen wanted Eliza to marry you quietly instead of me. When it’s done, you can’t


    deny it, and the Vargas family can only suffer from it.” After the words fell, Evie hurriedly added an


    exnation.


    “But I didn’t agree. I rejected them without even thinking about it. So Mrs. Olsen was very angry. She


    felt that if I agreed, Eliza would notmit suicide for love.” Stephen couldn’t helpughing. “They


    should thank you.”


    Evie asked in confusion, “Thank me? Why?” “Elizamitted suicide because of love. But she was


    alive after all? “But if she marries me, no one can save her.”


    Stephen’s tone was extremely calm. It was obvious that he had another meaning in his words. Evie’s


    heart skipped a beat. She was startled. She let go of his hand abruptly. “Do you want to turn suicide


    into homicide?” Seeing her panicked look, Stephen smiled.


    “You said that. Not me.” After he said it, he saw her loosen her hand, but he tightened and took the


    initiative to hold her. She was obedient and timid.


    Did she put all her thoughts and courage intost night’s blind date? But she was really smart. Even if


    he had another meaning in his words, she could see through it.


    In a panic, Evie met Stephen’s gaze. His eyes were gentle, but she knew that behind this gentleness,


    Stephen was not easy to mess with. “You…” Evie was a little scared.


    She knew very little about Stephen. The two of them had known each other for less than twenty-four


    hours. So they were almost strangers. Stephen looked at her. After seconds, he made a sound to break


    the silence.


    “Now let me tell you what our family tradition is.” Evie knew that Stephen was changing the subject.


    She nodded and heard.

    But heughed again. “The wife always takes control.” Evie was stunned. It turned out that he didn’t


    change the subject. The two looked at each other and didn’t feel fear again. She smiled.


    Immediately afterward, the beautiful atmosphere was broken by a hasty knock on the door. Thump.


    Thump. “Evie, Are you inside?” “I’m Jason. I’m here to see you.” Evie was astonished. Her hand was


    frozen. She didn’t expect Jason toe.


    Why did hee? How did he know she was hurt? Stephen caught Evie’s expression. He frowned,


    lowered his voice, and said in a firm tone… “Your brother-inw.” Evie had no way to deny it. So she


    nodded. “Yes.”


    “Your former sweetheart?” Although it was a question, he was sure about it. Evie was speechless. She


    still couldn’t deny it, so she nodded again.
