Chapter 92

Ethan Sullivan immediately detected the faint hostility radiating from Evelyn.

A master of emotional concealment, he maintained perfect composure while chatting with Victoria Langley, effortlessly drawing delighted laughter from her.

Across the table, her three brothers glared daggers at Ethan, their resentment almost palpable.

Mom's favoritism knew no bounds!

To his credit, Ethan proved remarkably considerate. Though seated beside Evelyn throughout dinner, he maintained just the right distance, never making her feel uncomfortable.

After the meal, Theodore Langley bounded over with sparkling eyes. "Evelyn! Let's play a game!"

He waved his phone excitedly. "I found this amazing 5v5 competitive game!"

Beyond his obsession with cars, Theodore was a hardcore gaming enthusiast.

Rumors said he was considering going pro.

At nineteen—two years older than Evelyn—he was at peak reaction speed.

"I don't know how to play," Evelyn admitted truthfully.

Growing up without even a smartphone, gaming was foreign to her.

Theodore thumped his chest. "No problem! Your big brother will carry you!"

Unable to refuse his enthusiasm, Evelyn agreed.

Theodore recruited not just Evelyn, but also Sebastian, Julian, and Ethan.

"Perfect five for a full team!" He grinned ear to ear.

But his expression turned teasing when his gaze landed on Ethan. "Little Ethan, at your age...do you even game anymore?"

Ethan's temple twitched.

"Little Ethan"—the nickname grated ever since Theodore learned about their engagement and started playing the overbearing big brother.

And now being called "old"? Ethan fantasized about sewing the brat's mouth shut.

Julian chuckled diplomatically. "Theo's always been like this. Don't take it personally."

Ethan forced a smile. "I'm pretty rusty. Counting on you to carry me, big bro."

Theodore preened. "Watch and learn!"

He swiftly set up Evelyn's account, chose her ID, and launched their first match.

"Just follow my lead!" Theodore cracked his knuckles. "Prepare to witness a slaughterfest!"

Evelyn smiled faintly but didn't immediately follow, instead studying the game mechanics and hero abilities.

The first match was brutal.

Theodore dragged two noobs and two beginners through the wringer, shouting instructions nonstop.

By the second round, Evelyn and Ethan showed shocking improvement, easing Theodore's burden.

Then came the third match...the fourth...

A horrifying realization dawned on Theodore.

Evelyn's gaming talent...was downright terrifying!
