"Is this man still a human being?"
Evangeline suddenly felt a little confused. Was this the man that she had been chasing for 20 years?
"Too f*cking...
Forget it, she couldn't describe it any more. If she said it too harshly, her heart would ache. If she said it too lightly, she won't be able to vent her anger. Zion was right. She chose the man myself, so she had to accept anything about him.
Evangeline fell silent after she figured it out. She seemed to be angry with someone or completely admit defeat.
Seeing her like this, Zion's cold eyes finally showed a trace of warmth.
"Call me when we reach Ocean City. I'll rest for a while."
These words were directed at Aziel.
Aziel quickly nodded. He could see that Zion really cared about Evangeline. Otherwise, he would not have come alone to save her. He was just a little angry that Evangeline was so stupid to be framed. To put it bluntly, he was more worried than angry. The punishment just now was just a tough action made by Zion in order to appease his uneasy heart.
Zion, on the other hand, was a person who didn't like to explain. Aziel could only whisper to Evangeline, "Master has been working since he knew that you were in trouble. He went to the training base alone to find an assistant to save you. I heard that master didn't want to inherit the family business. Now that you were in trouble, he returned to the Ye family without saying a word. Now he is the head of the Ye family. Miss Evangeline, he slept for less than three hours last night."
Evangeline was stunned by Aziel's words.
"What are you talking about? Focus on the plane."
Zion frowned slightly. She couldn't tell whether he was happy or not.
It was the first time that Aziel and Zion had cooperated. It was also the first time that they had met, so Aziel was a little confused about Zion's temper. However, he had said what he should have said and done what he should do. He had done the responsibility of being an assistant.
At this point, Aziel shut up and focused on driving the plane.
Evangeline couldn't calm down.
She looked at Zion and found that the man's eyes were dark. When she thought of the conditions of returning to the Ye family to take over the master position, her nose suddenly twitched and her eyes turned red.
"Zion, you retreated?"
When she said this, Evangeline suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and painful.
Although she was not in the military region, she knew Zion's feelings for the military region. Although he had said that he would retreat, if it weren't for her, would Zion still be hesitating?
To Zion, the military region was equivalent to his second home. All of his childhood and youth were spent in the military region. It was even longer than the time spent in the Ye family.
It seemed that he had a bright future, but he had accidentally injured the hostage because of her, and now he retreated also because of her?
Evangeline suddenly felt that she was a good-for-nothing person.
Although her original intention was good, she had ruined Zion's future.
She ruined his dream, his future, and his lifelong faith.
Evangeline suddenly felt a little scared.
If Zion didn't survive in the business world many years later, would he regret what he had done today?
Zion felt the sadness in her words. He couldn't help sighing and then opened his eyes.
"It has nothing to do with you. Originally, it was a little troublesome. I just don't want to owe others a favor. Besides, you know my parents. In the past few years, they have been hoping that I can go back to inherit the family business. My brother is obsessed with medicine and my two brothers are still young. Who can take over the position of the head of the family if I don't come back? Don’t always take responsibility for yourself. To say the least, even if I don't become a soldier and come back to be a businessman, as long as I want, I can still be outstanding. Don't you have any confidence in me?"
Although Zion had said so, Evangeline could not let it go no matter how hard she tried.
Evangeline hesitated when she thought of her appearance at the kidnapping scene, the fact that she was framed by Maximilian, and all kinds of secrets.
"Zion, I have something to tell you. When we get back to Ocean City, I'll tell you everything."
"Okay."
