Jin Liwei narrowed his eyes in suspicion after seeing her shock. "That's what Lu Zihao insists on calling you."
Iris paled.
His suspicion only deepened. "Isn't Evelinka your handle name in the game you played with him?"
"I…ye—" She shut her mouth before she could lie. Not telling him the truth was bad enough but lying would only be unfair to him who had already presented everything he owned to her.
He stepped forward. "Love?"
"Meow!"
Both were startled at the sudden interruption. The cute sound was so out of place in the current tense atmosphere. Only the forgotten butler standing by a nondescript corner looked as cool and unflappable as always.
"M-meow…?"
Jin Liwei scowled at a random wall. "Ketchup, speak!"
"Eek! Sorry, Daddy. But Ketchup has something super-duper important to tell Mommy. Meow…."
"What is it?" Iris asked.
