?Chapter 601:


    Bryan said nothing more, though he wore a thoughtful expression as he continued to stare at her.


    I, on the other hand, felt uneasy.


    I had never seen Bryan act this way before. His behavior was unusual.


    ncing at Dominic and yton, I noticed they too were staring intently at Evelyn. It all seemed so strange. Did they know her? Evelyn herself didn’t seem to recognize them.


    Curiosity tugged at me, but I felt it would be inappropriate to ask.


    I remained lost in thought as the car drove toward the pce.


    When we arrived, Evelyn said, “You can drop me off here, Your Highnesses. I will walk back myself. I’ve already caused you enough trouble.”


    When she had left, I could no longer hold back my curiosity.


    “Do you know Evelyn?” I asked, turning to the three princes.


    Makenna’s POV:


    The three princes exchanged nces, and in that brief moment, I caught a glimpse of strange emotions in their eyes.


    Before I could think further, Bryan cleared his throat and said seriously, “You’ve had a long journey and must be tired. Go and have a good rest. We have a lot of matters to attend to, but we will visit you soon.”


    Dominic and yton echoed his sentiment with nods.


    This only made the difort inside me grow.


    The car pulled up at the entrance of my residence. As I stepped out, my mind swirled with confusion and uncertainty about what was happening.


    Inside, Alice and Evie were sitting on the couch in the living room, ying a game. The moment I entered, Alice leapt to her feet and teased, “Makenna, you’re finally back! How did your evening go yesterday? Come on, tell us about it.”

    Evie’s lips curled into a mischievous smile as well.


    I managed a forced smile, feeling a storm of confusion within, and was at a loss for words.


    Alice immediately picked up on my difort. Her brow furrowed as she approached and took my arm, clearly concerned. “What’s the matter? Did something unexpected happen? Did the princes bully you?”


    I shook my head weakly, sadness weighing on me. “No, they treated me well. It’s just that today I met our new instructor, and they seemed particrly interested in her.”


    As I spoke, I bit my lip, the indescribable unease in my heart growing stronger.


    Alice guided me to the couch andforted me. “Don’t worry, just sit here and tell us everything when you’re ready.”


    Evie poured me a ss of water and said softly, “Take a sip first, then tell us everything in detail.”


    I nodded appreciatively, took a deep breath, and began to describe everything that had happened on my way back to the pce.


    After hearing my story, they looked at me in disbelief. Alice voiced her suspicions. “Do you think the princes might be interested in Evelyn? That seems unlikely. They clearly have feelings for you.”


    My heart tightened at her words, and I lowered my head, smiling bitterly. “Evelyn is the most stunning woman I’ve met. Her beauty and grace stand out. It’s no wonder she might catch their eye.”


    As I spoke, the image of Evelyn’s graceful face shed in my mind, sparking a flicker of jealousy within me.
