Maybe it was a long time ago that the governor returned a little earlier than usual today.

As soon as Earl got home, he closed the door with Sproul in the study and did not come out until supper.

After dinner, the Sprouls went to the booked hotel to spend the night, while Linda stayed at the official residence as promised.

Just after nine o'clock, a group of older kids who were having fun playing poker were driven back to their room to sleep by Nina.

Evan was very depressed. Not only did he not expect the best of Christmas Eve in both worlds, but he also got a lot of pocket money by Linda and Virginia.

Linda was also depressed, she hadn't had enough fun yet!

But Nina had already spoken, and they could only obey and line up to go upstairs.

Evan wrapped in a quilt, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

Linda and Virginia were in the same house. After counting the "trophy" and dividing the spoils, they changed into pajamas and went to bed.

After the lights were turned off for more than ten minutes, the two of them were still excited in their nervous system, so they couldn't fall asleep, so they started chatting in a low voice.

At first, the topic of the chat was very ordinary, and suddenly, Linda turned the topic to Evan.

"Virginia, has Evan changed?"

Suddenly asking about her brother, Virginia felt a thrill. Fortunately, the lights were turned off and the room was pitch black. Linda could not see her expression.

After a pause, Virginia replied, "No! Why do you ask that?"

Linda seemed to not notice Virginia's abnormality and said to herself: "In the past, when he encountered interesting things or did something he succeeded in doing, he would tell me to show off in front of me. However, he hasn't been like this recently."

"For example, you celebrate your wedding anniversary for Uncle Earl and Aunt Nina."

"For example, the wooden cube in Robert's hand."

"Not to mention the instant noodles that you said can sell for a lot of money."

"Also, we won a lot of money together tonight, and he would definitely not admit it before."

"Is that true?" Virginia had a question, but she had already agreed with what Linda said in her heart. Virginia had already felt about Evan's changes, but it seemed that because of the relationship between them all day, she could not see clearly.

Moreover, Virginia felt that there was nothing wrong with her brother's changes.

No matter how it changes, it's still his younger brother.

"Yes, I'm sure." Linda turned sideways and faced Virginia. The airflow as she spoke was spraying towards Virginia. "Virginia, I'll ask you a question. If you are a good sister, don't hide it from me!"

"You...you ask..." As if he had a premonition that Linda was going to ask, Virginia suddenly felt a little nervous and her body became stiff.

"Evan...don't he like me?"

Linda's tone was straightforward.

Responding to her was a silence.

After a while, Linda asked again: "Does he... have someone he likes?"

This time, Linda's tone fluctuated significantly.

Virginia still couldn't answer directly. After a moment of silence, she tried to speak, "Linda..."

As soon as the words began, Linda was interrupted, "Virginia, stop talking, I understand."

She turned her body, turned her back to Virginia, and said to herself, "No wonder Evan is hiding from me..."

"No wonder he didn't answer my phone..."

"No wonder he didn't write to me..."

"No wonder he gave in to me today..."

The more Linda said, the lower the voice, and finally became silent.

Virginia was worried and climbed on Linda's shoulder with one hand.

Virginia asked: "Are you OK? (Are you okay?)"

Linda replied: "I’m OK! (very good!)"

Virginia: "Do you like Evan?"

Linda: "Yes!"

Virginia: "WHY?"

"NO REASON!(No reason)"

"But, aren't you two quarrels all day long, and you have to fight for everything before you stop?" Virginia was puzzled: "Although the adults do say that you are like a pair of happy enemies, you should know that this is just a joke. Evan didn't take it seriously, and you shouldn't take it seriously."

"Listen, Virginia, I didn't take the adult joke seriously." As he said that, Linda turned toward Virginia again, "But it's true that I like Evan."

"SO WHY?" Virginia asked again.

Linda said: "Because it is Evan."

Because Linda is the proud daughter of heaven, the jewel of the family's eye. In life, everyone protects her and gives in to her, only Evan will steal her things;

Because Linda is smart and smart, but people who are too smart are always isolated and excluded. Only Evan often challenges her overestimates her ability and then returns in a big defeat;

Because Linda is lively and active, her head is full of fantasy ideas, but she is a "cracked hand", and she just forms a "peerless two-beautiful" with Evan, who has a skillful hand;

So Linda likes Evan.

How could Linda not like Evan?

How could Linda like this not like Evan?

The cold wind whistles outside the window, the branches sway and the leaves rustle.

Linda on the bed stared at the shadow of the tree on the window, recalling the little things in the past, and gritted her teeth secretly.

"Evan, don't think of leaving me so simply! I won't give up!

No matter who you are, I will not lose!”

At this time, Virginia, who was bedside with her, pulled the quilt on her body and frowned. She was sandwiched between her younger brother Evan, Linda, who was equivalent to half a sister, and her friend Audrey. Virginia was in a dilemma.

"What should I do? Help Linda, I'm sorry for Audrey and unhappy my younger brother.

Help Audrey, but I'm sorry for Linda who grew up with her since childhood.

Alas... a headache!

Forget it, I'd better stand in the middle and don't help each other. Let Evan handle it by himself. If you have to bother or have headaches, he will suffer by himself."

Just as Virginia sighed, Evan, who was only separated from him by a ceiling, sighed almost at the same time.

"There is nothing more. After thinking about it, I only thought of this method, so I can only do this!"

The next day, Linda acted as usual, as if she didn't know Evan's mind at all, and she was still extremely intimate with him.

During breakfast, Linda snatched Evan's bread like she did when she was a child. However, Evan did not fight back like before, which made Linda a little disappointed.

Virginia, who saw Linda's performance, was tangled with the bread.

Just after breakfast, the Sprouls came to pick Linda up. The family was going to visit somewhere else today.

This made Evan really relieved. So he could easily pick up people at the train station.

"Evan!" Virginia called him before he left the door.

"What's up?"

Virginia opened her mouth and couldn't speak for a long time.

Seeing that his sister wanted to speak but stopped, Evan urged impatiently: "If you have something to say, you're embarrassed."
