"I've said it before. I will not get in the middle of your relationship with Warren. Why won't you believe me? Why must you insist on hurting Warren like this? "Just days ago, you got his head smashed. Now, he has to get multiple stitches on his arm because of you. You shouldn't do that to him if you truly love him," said Clara.Evelyn was utterly speechless with Clara's ability to twist the truth.At first, Evelyn was only suspicious. She wondered why there were so many coincidences.After all, Clara was sent to the hospital for surgery on the same day Evelyn was kidnapped.Things had since cleared up.It was obvious that someone masterminded everything.Clara intended to show Evelyn that Warren would never choose to save her.She wanted Evelyn to give up on all hope.However, Clara didn't realize that Warren would act out of the norm and choose to save Evelyn instead.A small grin appeared on Evelyn's lips as she faced Clara. The former said, "Aw, I planned everything so
Charlie immediately caught what his boss was implying, so he joined in."That is a fantastic idea! This way, Ms. Jefferson won't have to deal with any legal issues, and Mr. Larkin will finally get a wife. It's a win-win situation. How perfect."He even deliberately gave the idea a thumbs-up right in front of Clara.She was so infuriated that she almost bit her tongue off.Clara wondered if she had just helped Evelyn inadvertently. Her face was practically shifting between several emotions on repeat. Seeing that, Evelyn couldn't help sneering internally.She glared at Warren and said, "Dream on! I'd rather go to prison than be with you."After saying that, she turned around to leave.Unfortunately, Warren grabbed her wrist. "Evie, you're not allowed to abandon me. You're the reason I got hurt, so you can't ignore me."He kept holding onto Evelyn's hand.His eyes glowed with unending sorrow.The guy had basically turned into a sick puppy.Charlie watched as his employer chas
"Who are you calling an asshole?"William was a soldier who had trained for three years. He reacted to the ambush quickly.With a quick spin, he grabbed Warren's arm and tripped him at the same time. Warren's pained groan came soon after.Evelyn put a stop to it immediately."Let him go, William," said Evelyn. "He injured his arm."William was upset as he shot her a look. In a hostile tone, he said, "I'll let you go this time since Evie asked."Warren glared. "You only had to protect one person, and you failed. Yet, you have the audacity to come after me," mocked Warren. When he turned his attention back to Evelyn, his voice became sweeter. He said, "Go take a shower then eat up. Call me if you get scared."William pulled Evelyn toward the stairs. "There's no need for that," said William. "I live in the unit opposite hers. I'll keep her safe."After that, all three of them walked up the stairs together.Warren didn't want to let Evelyn hang out with those guys, but he had
Evelyn was traumatized by the kidnapping incident.She kept the lights on the entire night. All she dreamt about was how Warren fought the criminal in that place.In her dream, Warren was gravely wounded and was lying in a pool of blood on the ground.Evelyn sprang up fearfully from her nightmare and screamed, "Warren!"She didn't realize that it was a dream until she opened her eyes.Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, someone opened the door to her bedroom.A tall figure showed up in front of her.Warren hurried to the side of her bed and stroked her head gently. His voice was deep when he spoke."It's okay. It's just a nightmare."Evelyn had just gotten over her shock. She stared dumbly at Warren and asked, "What are you doing here?""I was worried about you feeling scared, so I came to keep you company. You were sleeping, so I didn't come in. I didn't want to disturb you. Instead, I rested on the couch outside."He spoke in such a nonchalant tone, as thoug
Warren's dark brown eyes couldn't conceal his pain.He could no longer find the love Evelyn had for him when he looked into her eyes.His heart ached as if countless needles were stabbing it.His eyes turned a little bloodshot, and his voice became deeper."We never got to have our last meal—our breakup meal—together, and I haven't eaten anything since last night."Will you cook me something? I'll leave after I eat.""Is that necessary?" asked Evelyn while frowning."Yes, Evelyn. I want to eat the meatballs, the carbonara spaghetti, and the breadsticks you make."The dishes Warren requested were what Evelyn used to cook for him.He remembered how his favorite breakfast used to be something entirely different.After Evelyn moved in with him, she would wake up early every day to make him different kinds of breakfasts.Slowly but surely, he found his old preference to be rather bland.He slowly started to prefer the kind of meals that Evelyn would make him.At the time, he as
Warren stared angrily at Evelyn."Evie, my wound opened up. Help me bandage it up, and I'll leave."Evelyn had never known Warren to be that needy.As far as she was concerned, he only ever needed her in bed and wouldn't let her leave. He was distant the rest of the time.That was why she was the one who would go to him in the past.Evelyn couldn't believe how shameless he had become. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth and said, "The public hospital is on the second building to the right. You can get treated there."Evelyn pushed all the luggage bags out of the door, then heartlessly kicked Warren out. She even slammed the door with a loud 'bang'.Warren stared at the luggage bags Evelyn had thrown out. Sorrow and exasperation filled in his heart.Just then, the door to the opposite unit opened.William had a cool, cozy outfit on as he leaned against the door.A mocking grin showed up."Oh, look who it is. Isn't this my all-mighty cousin? What happened? Did Evie k
There was no doubt that that case allowed Evelyn's name to shine across the legal industry once more.Many netizens started writing fan fiction about her relationship with Warren as well.Evelyn thought that the buzz would dissipate naturally after a few days. To her surprise, she learned upon waking that her phone had received dozens of notifications overnight. All of them were from huge social platforms.Seth called her before she had the chance to take a closer look at it.He sounded worried when he warned her, "Don't go online, Evelyn."Evelyn knew that something was wrong the second she heard those words.Worried, she frowned as she asked, "Did something about me get exposed?"Evelyn knew the most embarrassing thing about her was that her mother was Xena. If that truth had been exposed, the impact on her would be terrible.Seth hesitated for a moment before answering, "Xena shared a video saying that you refused to take care of her. She also claimed that you sent her to a
Evelyn glared evilly. "And then what? She'll try to commit suicide, and you'll get so freaked out that you'd risk your life to save her again? Why am I paying for the debt you owe her, Warren?""No, Evie. I will never care for her again, nor will I let her hurt you anymore."Warren noticed that Evelyn's shoulders were trembling nonstop. He was so heartbroken that he held her in his arms.He kept stroking her back as he did so.Warren was worried that Evelyn's illness would act up once more. He was also terrified that she would cut him off completely after an incident like that.He had never been that scared of anything before.There was no telling how Evelyn got so strong, but she managed to push Warren away in one quick shove.Her eyes glowed with the kind of pain and disappointment that could not be hidden.She pointed at the door and firmly demanded, "Leave. I don't want to see you right now.""Evie, I just want to keep you company."Warren held Evelyn's hand. His eyes glo
