For a moment Luci didn't know what to do with Evan, especially after seeing Evan's face that looked very gloomy.
'That is a face filled with loneliness,' Luci thought.
The only reason why Luci could find out was that she had been in a similar situation. Living alone and without anyone who wants to be her friend has made her suffer a lot during this time. And now Luci saw Evan suffering from loneliness.
'What exactly has happened to you, sir?' she continued. Luci braced herself for a moment. Until finally she decided to accompany Evan for a while. At least until Evan felt better.
"Are you okay?" asked Luci who was already sitting on the chair beside Evan.
Evan was reluctant to answer. His hands clenched and his head battled with his old memories of the past.
'I'm hurting, I'm lonely, and I'm suffering,' Evan screamed in his mind. 'My mother left me for someone else, my first love left me and married another man. Do you think I'm okay?' Evan continued.
A person who is severely depressed will find it difficult to express his feelings. They also find it difficult to share their burdens with others. The only way they can vent their depression and feelings of tightness is to get angry and shout. If that's the case, the depressed person should be given love, they just need support.
This is also not much different from Evan's. He, who is currently closing his heart tightly, is now in the midst of a dilemma between his subconscious desires and the trauma that has become a fence for his actions.
In other words, Evan wants to open up more to other people once in a while because he wants to be happier. But the wound in his heart had trapped him into a pit of darkness that made him unable to express himself properly.
"Did you have a bad day?" asked Luci again, studying Evan's hands cupped on the table.
'Should I wipe the back of his hand?' she thought in uncertainty. 'If it's Teddy or Hans, I won't hesitate. But the one in front of me right now is Evan Robert Hudan. He may sue me for unpleasant behavior in the future.'
"Let's just watch TV. How?" Luci turned her face forward to break down the very thick wall that was built by Evan at this time. It was the wall that had imprisoned Evan in the flames and scorched his happy soul.
"Just tell me you're going to leave me alone or not?" Evan turned his head. This time his face was tougher and stiffer than before. Constantly Evan has been able to control his sad and sad emotions. He had hidden all the wounds he had with his curt attitude.
"I will go after I make you better." Luci smiled brightly.
"Can you make me better?" Evan's voice sounded skeptical (hesitating, not believing).
Luci pondered for a moment. Her beautiful face swept Evan's eyes so that he didn't blink without him noticing at all.
"I'm not sure either. But maybe you want to do something? I can accompany you. Mmm, maybe playing games? Or something like that?" Luci secretly glanced at the clock on her cell phone. Lev said in about thirty minutes he might arrive. So Luci should still have enough time to comfort Evan.
"I… want to listen to a fairy tale." Evan scratched the back of his neck.
Luci frowned excitedly. Her eyes were blinking very fast to digest what she was listening to. Evan is like a polar bear who has turned into a cute and adorable circus bear, soft-hearted and spoiled.
"My mother… My mother likes to read me fairy tales." Evan's soft voice infiltrated Luci's ears again.
Only then did Luci remember something. 'Right, Mr. Evan had a bad past with his birth mother, right? So he's probably missing his mother right now.'
Luci also got an idea. Since she was not good at reading fairy tales and there were no fairy tale books in her flat, she chose to tell something else.
"Come on, let's just sit in the living room! I'll show you something!" Luci gently gripped Evan's palm. A smile that blossomed like a blooming lotus had bewitched Evan at that instant.
Evan's face reddened and his heart skipped a beat.
"Your face is red. Do you have a fever?" Luci stretched out her other hand to check the temperature on Evan's forehead. But Evan immediately stepped aside, to then stand up.
"It does not matter. This means I'm happy. Com – come on!" nervous Evan. Luci's hand was already in his. The two of them intertwined their fingers tightly but gently.
Like a goddess who leads humans to happiness, Luci also walks slowly in guiding Evan. Her sweet smile seems to make her look radiant and beautiful. Not to mention the curve of her body that always makes the eyes of any man can't take off for even a second.
"Wait and sit here first! I'll get something." Luci advised Evan in a caring tone. Her hand had slipped from Evan's fingers.
"Don't let it … go." Evan's hand was already hanging in empty air after Luci had completely left and left Evan's hand alone.
It turned out that Luci took her photo album that was in the room, which is stored in the desk drawer beside the bed. There are a lot of Luci's memories in there. But the memories start from when Luci was at the foundation after she was able to escape from the Dusky family.
"This! How about I tell you what's in here? Everything is full of memories." Luci said to Evan after she returned from her room. They sat next to each other on the sofa.
"That's a photo album," Evan frowned. His eyes scanned the medium-sized photo album in Luci's hand.
Luci nodded firmly. "That's right! So…." Luci opened the photo album. There are various kinds of photos there. Most of it is not only Luci's photo, but it is a group photo at an event at the foundation.
"This is where I used to live. I stayed at the foundation because there was something wrong with me. Well, this is when the governor comes to the foundation to see the condition of the foundation. There was some kind of social assistance and it happened that the Governor came directly."
Luci showed him a photo. There was a man who was wearing very neat clothes and a smooth coat. The photo is already in color even though the poses of the people there still look a bit old.
"Which one are you?" asked Evan, getting excited. Even he had pulled himself close to sit and cling to Luci's body.
"Mmm, I'm not here. I didn't take the photo," regretted Luci.
"Tell me the one with your picture in it!" Evan asked. His eyes were already exploring with enthusiasm.
'For several occasions, Mr. Evan looks like a lonely little boy. People might not think that he is already 30 years old if they see his current expression,' Luci thought.
"Sure!" Luci also flipped through the photo in her hand.
Most of the photos in the album are photos of foundation events where Luci is not in them. But Luci still remembers all those memories. Therefore, Luci decided to duplicate the photo of the foundation, when she had to leave it because she was considered an adult.
"This! This is the first day I came to the foundation. I just came out of the tiger cave." Luci laughed very loudly.
