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
Just as Evelyn was about to speak, she heard Warren's phone go off. Seeing that it was Chet, Warren picked up impatiently. He wanted to tell Chet that he would be in a lot of trouble if it wasn't important. However, Clara's shrill crying came over the phone.The voice was so piercing that even Evelyn could hear clearly from where she was standing. She couldn't help but ball her fists next to her body.This wasn't the first or even second time that Clara called Warren while sobbing. Even before Evelyn broke up with Warren, Clara would do this all the time. And each time, no matter how late he was or what he was doing, Warren would rush to her side.But when Evelyn had called him to ask for help, he didn't even care. Thinking back to those dark days, she smiled wryly. Pulling her luggage, she began to walk away.When Warren heard Clara's voice, he immediately wanted to hang up. However, he heard Clara say, "Warren, Mrs. Larkin was hit by a car trying to save Mrs. Larkin Senior.
Clara's words were proven true. As soon as Warren heard Clara cry, he abandoned Evelyn at the airport and rushed to her side. He even gave his suit jacket to Clara and went out to help her get some things.So this was what Warren meant when he said he didn't care about her anymore.Evelyn laughed self-deprecatingly. She brushed past Warren without so much as sparing him a glance.However, she didn't make it far before a muscular, broad chest enveloped her from behind. Then, a man's husky voice came from above her head. "Evie, Grandma might not make it any longer. She wants to see you."Evie escaped his grip without hesitation. She put on a calm and elegant smile and said, "Mr. Larkin, like I said, we are over. It's up to you who you want to be with. You don't have to curse one of your dearest relatives because of an insincere promise."Warren frowned in confusion. "What are you talking about? What do you mean by an insincere promise? Evie, you're falsely accusing an innocent man
Warren's dark eyes could no longer hide his desire. "Evelyn, someone really needs to punish that sharp mouth of yours. I'll remember this. One day, I'll give you the payback you deserve!"My grandmother broke her femur and refuses to eat anything. She only wants to see you. Now, do you believe me?"Bonnie had helped Evelyn out in the past. Now that she was hurt, Evelyn couldn't help but be moved. She nodded right away. "Take me to see her."The fatigue on Warren's face dissipated immediately upon hearing that. Holding Evelyn's hand, he led her to the hospital room upstairs.Clara was infuriated after witnessing everything while being ignored the entire time.In her eyes, Warren had always been a cold and arrogant man. Nothing had moved him—no matter how she tried to woo him back then. He was nice to her only because she had saved him before.However, he had actually humbled himself for Evelyn just now. To make her happy, he had embarrassed Clara by tossing the jacket straight int
Everyone in the room was shocked when they heard that.Warren's doting eyes were now bloodshot. His voice was devoid of any warmth as he said bluntly, "Then let her jump!"Charlie wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Mr. Larkin, the situation is more complex than that. Today, there happens to be reporters doing interviews at the hospital. Now, Ms. Sullivan's situation is plastered all over the web and everyone's talking about you."Veins popped on Warren's forehead. He clenched both fists tightly and gave Evelyn a gloomy look. He could tell that Evelyn had loosened up after hearing Bonnie's question earlier. He gleaned a sliver of hope from her gaze.Walking over to Evelyn, he leaned down to look at her. "Evie, I want to hear your answer to Grandma's question."Evelyn lowered her gaze, hiding the emotions in her eyes. She answered quietly, "Warren, it's a matter of life and death. You should hurry over. The Larkin Corporation has already suffered major losses after that foreign in
Lindsey fell to her knees in front of Warren. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she begged, "Warren, only you can save Clara now. Please save her, I'm begging you. She is everything in our family. Without her, Johnny and Chet can't live on either."With everyone pointing fingers and Lindsey crying at him, Warren blew his top. He didn't know how many times he had to hear such things. Every time, he had to compromise because of the relationship between their families.But what about Evelyn?If he agreed to Clara's request now, then he would simply be acknowledging his relationship with Clara to the whole world.Just as he weighed his options, Clara lost her footing. She let out a shrill scream as she fell off the side of the building.Warren immediately shot forward and grabbed her wrist. He had used so much force that there were scratches where his arm grazed against the rough stone of the wall. Gnashing his teeth, he said, "Do you want to come up or die? I can help you either way
