Warren replied, "I miss her too, but she doesn't want to see me. What do we do, Bailey? She doesn't want us anymore. What do we do?"He spoke softly, and his voice was rough from being exhausted.His eyes glowed with indescribable pain.Bailey seemed to have understood his words. The dog bit the man's pants and pulled him toward the exit."Bailey, what are you doing?"Bailey barked at him a few times and continued pulling Warren toward the exit.Only then did Warren understand what Bailey was trying to say.He wanted to see Evelyn.Warren hesitated momentarily before crouching down and stroking Bailey's neck. In a deep voice, he ordered, "Go keep her company. She's in a bad mood lately, so take care of her for me, okay?"Hearing those words caused Bailey to run in circles excitedly.Warren took Bailey to the ground floor of Evelyn's place.The orange light by the balcony was glowing brightly.Warren guessed that Evelyn was sitting on the couch on the balcony. She was alone
When Warren saw Evelyn there, his heart felt as though it had been hit hard. It hurt so much that he couldn't breathe.His dark brown eyes glowed under the streetlight above him. It amplified the pain in them.The heartache was so bad that Warren didn't even feel the pain from his lit cigarette burning him.Just like that, he stared at Evelyn without shifting his gaze. He was terrified that she'd disappear if he even blinked.Warren wanted to ask her if she had another nightmare. He wanted to hold her in his arms and comfort her.However much he craved holding her, his heart ached more.Without even thinking about it, he crushed the lit cigarette in his fist.The sharp pain allowed his mind to slowly clear up.He immediately fished his phone out to send Evelyn a message. He wanted to ask her how she was.Unfortunately, it was then he realized that Evelyn had blocked him in every possible way.When he came back around and shifted his gaze up once more, he realized Evelyn's fig
"With that being said, you don't need to worry about anything. All you need to do is forgive me and help me get on Warren's good side. "Do that, and my dad will assign all of our family's cases to you. What do you think?"Clara had said she was there to apologize, but her stance remained all high and mighty.Evelyn chuckled.After that, she replied mercilessly. "I don't need your apology, nor do I need those cases. How Warren treats you is his business, not mine."Don't come looking for me again. You are not welcome here, so please leave."Evelyn turned around to leave as soon as she finished speaking.Clara suddenly scoffed behind Evelyn."Ms. Jefferson, I know that your father has been cut off from the rest of the family. Your grandmother has taken away most of his assets, and he is in urgent need of a business partner."Go talk to Warren for me and convince him to forgo making me go to the mausoleum. If you agree to do that, I will get my dad to help your father get back o
Clara's plan to hurt Evelyn failed. Worse still, she still had to go to the mausoleum the day after.That put her in a bad mood, so she went out for a drink with her friends. She ended up drinking too much and had to have someone drive her home.She gave the driver an address, then rested against the backseat feeling woozy.There was no saying how long the car had traveled before it finally stopped.Clara thought that she was home, so she opened her eyes.Unfortunately, all she saw was a secluded field.She instantly realized that she had been conned.It had just occurred to her to open the door to flee when a black hood was put over her head.What followed after was a series of beatings.All Clara felt was her organs hurting. It was as though they were being crushed.She wanted to shout for help, but someone stuffed something in her mouth. That item reeked and made her nauseous.There was no saying how much time had passed. Clara was aching all over from the beating.Like
Warren said hoarsely, "Did you listen to Dad and take good care of Mom?"Bailey barked twice.Warren hooked the bag in his hand around Bailey's neck and smiled. "This is a present for you and Mom. Can you give it to her for me?"Bailey yapped obediently and ran toward Evelyn.Evelyn had just run five miles and was now sweating buckets. Seeing Bailey dashing toward her, she fell backward onto the grass. She petted Bailey's head and reprimanded him gently, "Didn't I tell you not to take things from strangers? Why are you so naughty?"With a smile, she took the bag off Bailey's neck. Just as she was about to look inside, a familiar, deep voice rang out nearby. "I gave it to him, not a stranger."Evelyn's smile instantly froze. She slowly looked up to see a tall man standing in front of her. He was wearing a black shirt and gray slacks. His defined brow looked even more chiseled under the warm yellow light, and his dark eyes quietly and cautiously observed her.After a few moments
Warren drove home hastily. A bad feeling washed over him. It was true that Evelyn didn't intentionally miscarry.He felt as though his heart would jump out of his throat.He parked his car right outside the foyer of his villa. When Miriam noticed him, she went out to welcome him. "Mr. Larkin, while I was cleaning out the closet, I happened to find the medicinal herbs that Ms. Jefferson used to drink. However, one of them causes miscarriages in pregnant women."When Warren heard this, his cold gaze grew even icier. Evelyn suffered from period cramps, so he sought out a holistic doctor to treat her. According to his calculations, she had taken these medicinal herbs for three months.Staring at the herbs in Miriam's hands, he asked quietly, "How are you so sure?""My grandfather is a holistic doctor. I learned a lot of medicinal theory from him when I was younger, and I remember this medicinal herb in particular.""And you didn't notice anything strange before this?""Ms. Jeffers
It also happened to be the day before Evelyn's birthday when she refilled her prescription and took the herbs. And on her birthday the next day, when Warren went to save Clara, she miscarried.In other words, if he hadn't taken her to refill her medication, they wouldn't have lost their child.No wonder Evelyn said that he was the one who killed their child.Now that all his memories had been unlocked, despair and sorrow filled his gaze.He remembered Evelyn asking him that day what would happen if she fell pregnant. At the time, he had warned her not to use children as a weapon. He had been very diligent at using protection, so there wouldn't even be a child.It turned out that at that time, she had already suffered the pain of losing their child. Yet, not only did he not give her any comfort, but he'd even said those horrible things.He finally knew why Evelyn broke up with him so adamantly. It turned out that he'd hurt her deeply.He thought back to the day they broke up an
Iris' heart jumped to her throat when Warren pointed at her. However, she looked surprised. She laughed mockingly and said, "Warren, that was also my grandchild, so how could I bear to harm it? If Evelyn told you that, she's blaming me because she despises me. Don't believe her."Warren glared at her frigidly. He didn't know where the mother who loved him and his sister so tenderly went. Why had she changed completely after that incident? Pursing his lips and gritting his teeth, he spat out two words, "Orkey Pharmacy."When Iris heard that name, she shuddered unconsciously. But soon, she managed to calm herself down. "That's where I usually get my medicine. What's the matter? Is something wrong with them?""Are you familiar with Mr. Philip Grant?""I am. These days, my menopausal symptoms are rather bad, so I had him concoct some medication for me. His medicinal herbs are very effective. Even my sleep quality has improved. Is something wrong with him?"Iris' expression was compl
