Abby smiled warmly. “Sister, please stop teasing me. Evan doesn’t eat spicy food—consuming that many peppers at once could be dangerous for him. I’m returning to work today; I can’t stay at the hospital every day to care for him. Just because he had peppers once doesn’t mean I’ll give in.”
Adalee nodded in agreement. “That’s right. Don’t let Evan use this situation to his advantage.”
“Sister, he didn’t plan this to manipulate me. He genuinely got sick from eating peppers—fever, cough, sore throat—the whole package. His voice is still hoarse.”
Despite herself, Abby found it hard not to defend Evan.
Adalee sighed. “Look at you. I hardly say anything about him, and you’re already coming to his defense. Abby, remember this: in love, the person who falls first loses. Listen to me—before Evan truly loves the real you, don’t give too much of yourself. Don’t let him dictate the relationship. You’re so strong in every other aspect of your life, yet you soften the moment it comes to Evan.”
Abby stuck out her tongue playfully. “I understand, Sister. I’ll manage my emotions and ensure Evan doesn’t think I’m falling harder than he is.”
Adalee gently tapped Abby’s forehead. “I’m not entirely convinced. Thankfully, Evan loves you, and the York family has a strong reputation. I doubt he’d stray from their values. But no matter what, you must prioritize loving yourself. Give him only 50 or 60 percent of your love—never all of it. You need to train your man. All the great men out there? Their partners trained them.”
Adalee spoke from experience. Her fiancé had once been a playboy, but after falling for her, he gradually transformed into the devoted man he is today. She had shaped him into someone reliable.
Blushing, Abby replied, “Evan and I aren’t even at that point yet.”
stage yet. When we are, I’ll take care of it. But honestly, I appreciate him just as he is—his personality and his dedication. He already embodies the kind of man who loves wholeheartedly. I don’t believe he needs any changes.” To Abby, everything was perfect as it stood. She loved Evan for who he was at this moment. Altering him would mean losing the person she had fallen in love with. Adalee smiled knowingly. “Only you two understand how your relationship functions. Whether you need to make any changes is entirely up to you. I won’t interfere as long as Evan doesn’t hurt you. But if he ever does, he’ll have to answer to me!” Abby hugged Adalee tightly. “You’re the best, Sister!” Adalee gently pushed her away, laughing. “We’re sisters—it’s my responsibility to look out for you. Who else would I treat this well? No matter where life leads us, we’ll always be family. Now, go run a few laps to warm up, then head back inside—it’s freezing out here.” The cold air nipped at their skin, but running helped. Abby jogged alongside Adalee, invigorated by the crisp morning air. After two laps, they parted ways and returned to their homes. Later, after breakfast, Abby instructed the butler to deliver a meal to Evan before he headed to the office. Her workday was busy, leaving her with only a brief lunch break to check in on Evan via phone. Time passed quickly, and soon another day came to an end. Saturday morning arrived. Though Abby usually had a packed weekend schedule, this time she cleared her calendar to pick up Spencer from the airport. Just as she finished breakfast and was about to leave, the butler entered the room. “Miss, the fourth young master of the York family is here.” Abby frowned in surprise. “He’s out of the hospital? When did that happen?” Evan hadn’t mentioned his discharge. Abby had planned to visit him later that day to…
Check on his recovery, but it now seemed unnecessary. “Let him in,” Abby said, regaining her composure. Mrs. Du and her husband had not yet woken up, and Abby saw no reason to deny Evan entry. She instructed the butler, and within moments, the security guards at the gate were notified to allow Evan through.
