Evangeline blinked too many times yet she did not understand what just happened, why were both sisters looking at her apologetically when they didn't even like her in the first place.
"Please, do not cry." finally she realized that her eyes were welled up. But it was not because of their harsh comments. Truth to be told, their comments were not at all harsh.
Evangeline was expecting more drama, more sarcastic comments like she had seen in the theater when a rich noble fell in love with a commoner. His family even tries to kill the girl to get rid of her. If she compares, these girls did not even stand a candle against those families.
In fact, they were sweet! They were concise and hurt looking at her tears.
"I.. I am not crying because of your comments, my lady." replied Evangeline embarrassed as she wiped the tears from her eyes.
"Then why are you crying suddenly?" This time it was William who asked as his apologetic expressions changed into confused ones.
