Chapter 773 The Vargas Family
Tradition Evie closed her eyes, teardrops hung on her long eyelashes. 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
family completely, 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 could completely 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

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 accord 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 explanation.
“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 not commit suicide for love.” Stephen couldn’t help laughing. “They should thank you.”
Evie asked in confusion, “Thank me? Why?” “Eliza committed 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 into last 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 he laughed 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 to come.
Why did he come? 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-in-law.” 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.
