The dial tone echoed for a long time before someone answered. Then, Evelyn's distant voice sounded through the phone. "What's the matter, Mr. Larkin?"Warren forced himself to perk up and say, "Nothing. I just wanted to hear your voice."Evelyn frowned. "Do you think this is funny, Mr. Larkin? You're the one who said you got bored of me, but now, you're the one who keeps clinging to me. What about me is making it hard for you to let go? I'll change, alright?"Her tone was cool and had a tinge of impatience.Warren shut his eyes in pain. He grabbed a fistful of his hair tightly to keep himself conscious. "Evelyn, you must have suffered a lot that night, right?"His breaths were shallow, and he had to pause numerous times while speaking that simple sentence.Every word was dripping with undisguised hurt.Evelyn laughed self-deprecatingly. "Mr. Larkin, you don't need to keep reminding me that I'm already dirty. I already know. I won't have any inappropriate feelings toward you anym
Evelyn frowned helplessly. She said quietly, "Mrs. Larkin Senior, I'm sorry, but I can't help you here. I'm not being cruel, but there are others who can save him. You don't need me, so there's no need for you to force me to do something I don't want to do."When Gloria heard this, she flew into a rage. "Warren was so nice to you for nothing. Have you lost your conscience? You won't even help a dying man. Mom, we don't need to beg her. Let Clara save Warren. We can't wait any longer."She talked as though Evelyn were being ungrateful and unwilling to save someone's life.Seth pulled Evelyn aside. He said in a gentle voice, "If you don't want to, no one will dare force you. Wait for me outside. I'll handle this."He pushed Evelyn outside and shut the door. In an instant, the kind look on his face froze over. He walked over to Warren's bed and watched him writhe in pain. Seth felt no compassion for him and even smirked at the situation."Warren, you're not the only one in pain. Ev
Uttering those simple words caused Warren to feel like he had just climbed a huge mountain.In his world, he had never apologized to anyone before. But at this moment, as he hugged Evelyn, he murmured those words over and over again. It was as though he thought Evelyn would forgive him if he kept repeating it.But the chasm between her and Warren was too wide. This wasn't something that could be solved with a few apologies. Had he had any trust, or even just a bit of love for her back then, they wouldn't be in this position today.She could never forget how Warren had ignored her as she lay in a pool of her own blood.She could never forget how he had treated her like a pet and trampled all over the seven years of deep love she showed him.She could never forget those cruel words he said to her when she had been on the verge of death.Evelyn clenched her fists that hung by her sides. She kept her tone cool as she spoke. "Warren, I accept your apology. You can let go now."Warr
Evelyn would stare up at him with sparkling eyes. "Why are you home so late? I'm about to starve to death."It drove him wild whenever she did that.Before he ate dinner, he would have his way with her first.Only now did Warren realize that that was happiness. It turned out that he used to have that kind of happiness.But now, he'd ruined it with his own hands.Whenever he remembered these things from the past, his heart would throb in pain.While bent over in pain, he looked at William with a pale face. He said coldly, "I'm not dead yet!"From the way William stared back at him, he wasn't acting like a younger brother at all. Instead, he smirked evilly. "The way I see it, you're already on death's door. Not to mention, does Ms. Evie need to wait for you to die until she can treat someone else kindly? You're not even her man."Warren suddenly felt like this little punk was a bane of existence that Steven sent to him. Wherever it hurt, William would stab him in the same place
Charlie shook his head. "Well, no. She left you at the local hospital."Warren was so mad that he gritted his teeth. Wasn't she afraid that the quacks at the local hospital would kill him? He hadn't known that Evelyn had completely lost all feelings for him. She wasn't giving him any chances to make things up to her.When Charlie saw how his boss' eyes had turned bloodshot from fury, not only did he not feel bad, but he even rejoiced in secret.He had warned Warren so many times, but the latter never paid him any mind.Now, he lost his wife.He was actually looking forward to seeing his boss suffer in his pursuit of his lover.Charlie pretended to comfort him. "Mr. Larkin, Ms. Jefferson must be busy. She and Mr. Yarrow went to the Hawkins Corporation office to officially sign the contract. "The two of them were dressed impeccably. They even made it on television. Many netizens said they have the most chemistry in the legal industry. I'll find you the video I'm talking about."
Evelyn had loved him so deeply before. How could she suddenly stop loving him just because she said so?At that moment, Simon returned from the kitchen with a plate. He looked around the living room and said confusedly, "Didn't Evelyn come home? I thought I heard her voice."Warren walked over to take the plate from Simon. He smiled and said, "She went upstairs to change. I'll call her down later."Simon hesitated. "Maybe you shouldn't. After all, you two have already broken up. Outsiders shouldn't be looking into a woman's room."Although he really liked Warren and knew that Evelyn had had deep feelings for him before, the two of them had ended on bad terms. As her father, he couldn't just forgive Warren so easily.Business was business, but love was love.He wouldn't tie his daughter's feelings to benefits again.When Warren heard the word "outsider", a sour taste filled his mouth.When Simon was discharged from the hospital, he had specifically put on his new clothes just to
Simon and Evelyn both stared at Warren. However, the bastard just casually picked up his glass and took a sip of his drink. His lips curved into a faint smile.Yet, his gaze was undoubtedly sincere.Evelyn deleted his photo. Then, she smiled at her father. "Dad, I think this judge is decent and quite good-looking. If we got together, we'd have something in common too. Please set us up."Simon nodded with pleasure. "Sure, I'll contact him after dinner. You met him before when you were younger. He's always liked you."Then, he turned to Warren and said out of courtesy, "Warren, I know what you're thinking. But you and Evelyn have been on-and-off so many times. I really don't want to see Evie hurt. It's better if you go your separate ways.""Mr. Jefferson, I—"Warren wanted to say something, but Simon interrupted him. "Let's eat. I made Evie's favorite lobster spaghetti and spicy crabs."Warren couldn't help but feel a tightness in his chest when he saw the food. Every dish had sea
Warren replied in a gentle voice, "What is it?"Evelyn pointed at his neck and said, "There's something on your neck."Simon also spotted it. He said in surprise, "Why is it all over your face too? Warren, are you allergic to seafood?"Warren answered steadily, "I am, but I'll just take my medicine when I get home later."Simon immediately stood up. "Allergies can be serious, so we can't take this lightly. Evie, take Warren to the hospital now before something bad happens."If something happened to such an important man at their house, he would never be able to make it up to his family.Evelyn also realized the severity of the situation. She picked up her car keys and said, "Come on, I'll take you to the hospital."Warren wore an apologetic look, but he was secretly delighted.He followed Evelyn to her car. Before he was properly seated, he heard Evelyn's cold and even slightly furious voice. "Warren, you know you're allergic to seafood. Why did you eat the crab? Do you want to
