After the meal, Seth drove Evelyn back to her hotel. He walked her to her door and finally mustered the courage to ask, "Evie, about the thing I asked you previously… Have you given it some thought?"Evelyn hesitated. Just as she opened her mouth, she heard a deep voice boom behind her. "Ms. Jefferson, do you have some time right now? I have a follow-up question about my case that I would like to discuss with you."Dressed in all black, Warren approached them with a cool expression on his face. His demeanor was polite and detached, and there was no discernable emotion in his eyes.Seth ground his teeth in anger. He knew that Warren did this on purpose, simply so Evelyn couldn't agree to be with him. He shot Warren a snide look and chuckled icily. "Mr. Larkin, don't you know that Evelyn hasn't slept properly in days because of your case? Even capitalists don't squeeze people dry like this."For the first time in his life, Warren chose the gentlemanly response. He nodded politely
"I think only the people closest to me would know about a birthmark on such a private part of my body." Warren narrowed his dark eyes. He continued, "In my family, the only people who would know this are my grandmother and my parents. I can't think of a reason why they would do this to me since this concerns the entire Larkin Corporation."Evelyn's eyelashes fluttered. She looked up at Warren and asked, "What if someone did this to help Laine marry into your family?""Why do you say so?""Laine gave me a choice earlier. She said she would drop the case if I convinced you to marry her.""Then why didn't you tell me? Is it because you still have feelings for me and don't want me to get involved with another woman?" Warren stared hard at Evelyn, trying to find a hint of reluctance on her face.But Evelyn merely smiled faintly. "Mr. Yarrow instructed me to win the case, not to come to a settlement. It has nothing to do with whether I care or not."Warren felt a thousand arrows pier
"It may lead to trouble rising to the occasion."Although Evelyn was standing in the living room, she still heard the doctor's words. Naturally, she understood what he meant.She fisted her hands tightly in her shirt, and her heart stopped for some reason.But in the next second, she heard the doctor calling her over. He handed her two types of creams and said, "Apply these three times a day. Try not to get the wound wet for the next few days. Once the injury heals, we'll assess its ability to function. I'm afraid I'll need your cooperation when the time comes."Evelyn was taken aback. "What kind of cooperation?"The doctor smiled. "Of course, you'll need to try to get his little one to rise. You're his girlfriend after all. Do you expect him to find another woman if not you?"Evelyn denied it right away. "I'm not his girlfriend." However, the doctor paid no mind to what she said. Instead, he continued with heartfelt sincerity, "Couples always make up after a fight in no time.
Could Warren's underwear have walked there on its own?Charlie couldn't stop himself from clicking his tongue. When his boss was in a mood to be shameless, nothing could stop him.Warren noticed everyone's strange reactions to what he said. Only then did he realize he'd said something wrong. He immediately chuckled and said, "Don't misunderstand. Something happened last night, so I slept in Ms. Jefferson's room."If he hadn't bothered to explain, things would have been better. Now, he was making it worse.Evelyn glared at him coldly. Her pale cheeks were covered in a layer of pink. She moved her lips but not a single sound emerged.Warren couldn't hide the delight in his eyes. He leaned into Evelyn's ear and said in slight embarrassment, "Sorry, I let the cat out of the bag. I shouldn't have said it out loud.""Shut up!" Evelyn spat. She then grabbed her luggage and stormed toward the departure gate.Watching her disappear from his line of sight, Warren smiled meaningfully. At t
Chet's surprise lasted for a good few seconds. Then, he stated calmly, "Your memory is really amazing, Mrs. Khind. You remember this so clearly even after so many years."Suzanne sighed and said, "I was friends with your mother. She had only gotten hurt so badly because she wanted to save the child in her belly. Of course, I remember clearly. "When your sister was born, she was not like the other babies. She was so pale and chubby, and she had large eyes like your mother. The birthmark really looked like a flower. I burst into tears when I saw that. I thought to myself that your mother must have left her favorite thing on your sister's skin."After Chet left the doctor's office, Suzanne's words were still ringing in his mind. Suzanne was his mother's best friend when she had been alive, as well as the doctor who did her prenatal checkups. She wouldn't make things up.His sister had a flower-shaped birthmark on her back. That was a mark that his mother had left for her.She must
Meanwhile, Evelyn only found out after she got onto the plane that she was seated next to Warren. On top of that, Seth was sitting in the window seat across the aisle. Not only were they sat far apart, there were even two seats in between them.Evelyn didn't have to think too hard to understand what happened. This airline was owned by the Larkin Corporation. Changing the seating arrangement was a piece of cake for Warren.She didn't want to fuss over this with him. Thus, after she sat down and put her seatbelt on, she put on her earphones and closed her eyes.The flight was over ten hours long, so she wanted to take the opportunity to get some rest. However, as soon as the plane was flying steadily in the air, she heard someone calling her.Slowly opening her eyes, she found a blonde flight attendant smiling at her.Evelyn took off her earphones and asked, "What's the matter?"Still smiling, the flight attendant said, "Ms. Jefferson, Mr. Larkin said he's not feeling well. He al
"Dear passengers, the plane is currently experiencing strong winds, leading to major turbulence. Please put on your seatbelts and avoid using the lavatory."As soon as the flight attendant finished speaking, the plane shuddered violently. Screams rang out in the cabin. Still holding Evelyn, Warren was roughly thrown against the door. Evelyn heard a grunt in her ear."Warren, are you okay?""I'm okay, Evie. Hold on tight. You can't let go."As Warren spoke, he took off his tie and tied Evelyn's waist to the handle in the bathroom. Then, he used his body to wrap around her protectively. Just like this, Warren was tossed around while holding Evelyn tight. If he wasn't bumping against the sink, he was slamming into the handle. From the beginning to the end, he made sure that Evelyn was well-protected and didn't get hurt.The turbulence was getting more and more intense. The loss of gravity when the plane dipped suddenly made Evelyn shriek. She held onto Warren's neck, shivering fi
Of course Charlie understood. His boss had had his heart broken. He tried to comfort him. "Don't worry. A scar takes a long time to heal, right? Not to mention, the scar in Ms. Jefferson's heart is very deep. It won't get better so quickly. You need to be more patient."Warren said morosely, "If she doesn't get better soon, I'll go crazy."Seeing someone else take care of her was really going to drive him crazy. He wanted to storm over and pull her back to his side to stop her from having any association with other men.But who was he to her?He finally knew how bothersome it was to not have an official label on their relationship.He didn't even have any reason to protect her.He was her ex-boyfriend who had kept her in the dark and hurt her over and over. On the other hand, Seth was the classmate who had liked her and protected her for seven years.No matter what angle he looked at it from, Seth beat him in every way.Warren finally understood what Evelyn had been troubled ab
