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
Evelyn suddenly understood what Warren meant by distracting him.She pummeled her fists into his chest. "Warren, what are you doing? Let me go!"Warren's rapid breathing only grew quicker. Being able to hug Evelyn again and smell the floral fragrance on her body drove him crazy.Not caring about the needle in his wrist or Evelyn's punches, he leaned down to capture her lips.Seeing his lips about to touch hers, Evelyn felt humiliated.He was the one who didn't want her anymore. He clearly never even loved her. So why was he refusing to let her go?Evelyn fought against the kiss. In a moment of desperation, she picked up a cup from the bedside table and struck Warren's head with it.When one was agitated, they would use more force than usual.Evelyn, who had always been as gentle as a kitten, actually caused Warren's head to bleed.Warren's movements suddenly stopped. He felt warm blood trickle down the side of his face and down his jaw. Droplets landed on Evelyn's beautiful fa
"Well, no." Charlie shook his head. At most, his girlfriend just gave him a few punches.He wasn't like his boss, who constantly begged for death.Warren gave him a meaningful look. "True love is when blood is spilled. Now, you're nothing but a bed partner. You can't be compared to Evelyn and me."Charlie wondered to himself whether his boss could be any more shameless. He and Evelyn had broken up on such bad terms that Evelyn didn't even want to interact with him anymore. How could he call that true love?Nonetheless, as a wise subordinate, he simply smiled and replied, "That's true, we can't be compared to Ms. Jefferson and you. Your relationship is so turbulent. You keep breaking up and getting back together. Meanwhile, my relationship is dull and no good at all."Warren glanced at him. "Why do I feel like you're insulting me?""Not at all, Mr. Larkin. I'm only telling the truth."As the two spoke, a tall silhouette suddenly appeared at the door. William leaned back against
At 9:00 am, the lights and cameras were all set up in the Larkin Corporation president's office. The reporter asked hesitantly, "Mr. Larkin, do you want to wear a hat and put on some light makeup? You'll look better on screen."When Warren heard that, he glowered coldly at the reporter. "Are you saying I look ugly?"The reporter began to sweat fearfully. "No, you're already the epitome of handsomeness here in Bramston City. It's just that your head bandage is a little too distracting. This episode is about the recovery of our economy after the pandemic. You kind of look like a disaster survivor."The amusement in Warren's eyes dimmed. "Because of this episode, I was too busy to spend time with my girlfriend. That's why I was abused. Is there a problem?"All the staff were dumbfounded, as though they just heard the most salacious scandal.Warren had a girlfriend and a tough one at that.He even suffered domestic abuse at her hands!Oh my god!If word got out to the media, this
Evelyn couldn't even see through such obvious intentions. She was such a fool.Warren picked up the fresh flowers that he'd prepared in advance and asked Charlie to drive over. At that moment, William drove Evelyn's BMW over and blocked his car.William was wearing sunglasses. He whistled at him and then laughed. "Sorry, man. It's going to rain. I'm in a rush to pick up my angel."With that, he took out a black umbrella and ran over to Evelyn.Warren was so furious that numerous veins popped on his forehead.As if Charlie couldn't tell that his boss was enraged, he pointed at the car and questioned innocently, "Mr. Larkin, wasn't that William? What did he mean by picking his angel up? Is he dating Ms. Jefferson?"He looked at Warren through the rearview mirror with a surprised gaze. However, his boss merely gave him a ruthlessly icy look. In a frigid voice, he snapped, "You should keep your mouth shut."Charlie immediately shut his mouth in terror.Rain began to pour outside, p
Evelyn's finger paused over the "hang up" button. At that moment, her heart clenched in pain.She would have cried tears of happiness if he had said this to her before they broke up.Back then, she had loved him so much that she stayed with him without regard for anything else. She had even taken the initiative to order a custom pair of rings and put together a proposal venue to help him get over his traumatic fear of marriage.Yet, she never thought that all her efforts would only be repaid with one sentence from Warren, telling her that it was superficial.She would never forget the moment when the recording of Warren calling her a golden canary was played in court.She felt as if he had mercilessly trampled all over her self-respect and feelings.Evelyn chuckled quietly. "Mr. Larkin, do you need me to remind you once more that we have broken up? I can help you remember how you tossed a break-up settlement at me.""Evelyn, I have never—"Without waiting for him to finish his
The day Warren searched for Clara, Evelyn told him she had something important to say.But he never imagined that she meant a proposal.Staring at the design sketch and the photos of the custom rings, he was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.Hot tears gathered in his dark eyes.He said to Miriam in a gravelly voice, "Ask Ethan to come help me redress my wound."He had to get better so that he could go talk to Evelyn. …When Seth emerged, he saw the sad and lonely silhouette of Evelyn's back. He stopped beside her and said gently, "Evelyn, have you considered starting a new relationship? Maybe you'll forget about your past wounds."Evelyn raised her head to find Seth looking at her kindly. His smoldering gaze was trained on her. Deep down in his eyes, there was an emotion that she didn't understand. Evelyn smiled minutely. "Seth, I'm not ready yet.""Is it because you're not ready, or because you can't forget about him?"Evelyn smiled wryly at being seen through so e
