Evelyn’s heart suddenly leapt into her throat; she felt a deep curiosity about L.

If she answered the call, she would hear his voice, and maybe she would know who he was.

Feeling a mixture of excitement and tension, Evelyn stopped in her tracks, unconsciously clenching her hands. Only after taking a deep breath did she press the answer button.

Before she could speak, L spoke first, "Surprised? That I would actually call you."

In Evelyn’s ear was a clean, deep, and magnetic voice, one that instantly captivated her, making it feel as though she was listening to the music of the heavens.

In her memory, she had never heard this voice before.

"You... Hello!" Evelyn greeted him flusteredly.

"Evelyn," L continued, "you’ve always been searching for that elder brother who adopted you, haven’t you?"

Evelyn’s eyebrows furrowed, and her expression became alert.

Normally, L wouldn’t reveal any information about himself, but now, he not only exposed that he was a man but even brought up the elder brother.

What was L’s intention?

Evelyn opened her mouth, wanting to speak, but couldn’t utter a single syllable.

Her back felt a chill.

She suddenly realized that the stranger she had been in contact with all this time was actually unfathomable.

"Don’t be afraid." L softened his tone, "I’m not a bad person. We’ve talked for so long; you should have built some trust in me by now, right?"

"Not necessarily." Evelyn’s voice held a barely suppressed panic, "I only know you as a decent psychological guide. As for whether you’re good or bad, your purpose for approaching me, I have no idea."

She had even always thought of L as a woman.

After all, aren’t there very few men as attentive as L?

Each time, L could analyze things thoroughly, and with just a few words, he could give her insights.

"Hearing you say that, I’m a bit saddened." L said in a deep voice, "But, Evelyn, it seems like you haven’t been looking for your elder brother for a long time, have you?"

"..."

"After becoming Mrs. Lockwood, you seemed to have forgotten that elder brother you’ve always admired. Even though he’s right beside you, you don’t even know." L’s tone was full of deep meaning.

"What do you mean?" Evelyn asked coldly, "Who exactly are you?"

Why did she feel like L seemed to know everything about her?

"Who I am is not important, what’s important is who your elder brother is." L said in an intentionally deep tone, "If you want to know, I can actually tell you."

Evelyn stood there, every cell in her body tensed, holding her breath, forgetting even the innate instinct to breathe.

L was actually willing to tell her who the elder brother was?

The answer she’d been seeking for so many years, yet never received.

She had even given up, no longer wanting to look.

But now, was she about to find out her elder brother’s identity?

No!

She knew nothing about who L was or his intentions; she could not easily trust him!

"I don’t want to know who the elder brother is from your mouth." Evelyn’s tone wasn’t friendly, "What I want to know more is who you are."

The L who had talked with her many times, who had always guided and comforted her, was he a good person or a bad person?

"I really am a good person." L said softly, "At least, I wish for your happiness more than anyone else."
