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
After Seth confessed his feelings to her so romantically, Evelyn would be lying if she said she wasn't touched. After all, she had always respected him as her senior, and he had liked her for so many years.She didn't know how to repay him for his devotion.Evelyn smiled minutely. Her voice sounded a bit hoarse as she said, "Seth, you know about my condition. The chances of me getting pregnant are very slim. I might not be able to become a mother.""I like you, and that has nothing to do with who you have been with or whether you can have kids. I like you as a person. I don't care about anything else."Evelyn, could you give me a chance to woo you? Try to open your heart and date me for some time. I'll make you fall for me," Seth said in a voice that was as gentle as silk. He was afraid that he would scare Evelyn off. He stared at her unblinkingly, his eyes overflowing with affection. Nervously, he clenched his fists. Although he had practiced this speech in his head countless ti
"Don't you find me fucking irritating at this point? It's not like Jazzie only has one friend. You blindly believe everything she says."Ethan was overjoyed when he heard Warren's anxious tone. He feigned concern and said, "I feel bad for you and wish this were fake. But look at the photo—if I'm not mistaken, Seth has an identical mole on his wrist. He's even met his future father-in-law, so why are you still lying to yourself? "Don't tell me Clara's near-death experience has shocked you into losing brain cells?"Like a madman, Warren refused to believe this was true. He wanted to call Evelyn, but she had blocked him on all platforms.At that moment, he saw that William had uploaded an Instagram story. It was captioned, "The girl I liked for so long has been snatched from me. What should I do?"That one sentence sent Warren spiraling. He knew that William had always liked Evelyn and loyally obeyed everything she said.The meaning of this Instagram story was as clear as day.Eve
Without a care, Warren surged forward and embraced Evelyn. His voice dripped with an indescribable pain. "Evie, I'm begging you to give me another chance. This time, I'll really treat you right. I won't let you down again, okay?"He had always held himself up in high regard as if no one in the world could take him down. To him, an apology was more difficult than climbing a mountain.But now, he was hugging Evelyn, begging her tearfully to give him another chance.Evelyn bit her bottom lip harshly. She forced herself to keep her voice calm. "Warren, you will never know how much I suffered during the period when Clara just returned. Every time she called, you would abandon me over and over again. Even when I needed you the most, you went to be with her instead."At the time, I made myself compromise again and again. I stooped to lower lows repeatedly to give you another chance. But the moment I found out that I was just a superficial game to you, all my feelings died."Three years a
Those words accurately described Evelyn.Warren couldn't stop himself from clenching his fists by his side. His throat bobbed a few times before he finally said, "Evie, I will prove that I'm the only person in this world who would give you their whole heart."Having said that, he gave Evelyn's face a longing stare before leaving.The moment the door closed, Evelyn felt as though all her bones had turned to jelly. She collapsed to the floor.She didn't know when it started, but her face was now streaming with tears.She had finally closed the book on her previous relationship and was planning to start a new one. She didn't know whether she would be happy in the future nor did she know where she and Seth would go. But now that she had made up her mind, she would not associate with Warren anymore.She wouldn't be a filthy two-timer.Warren didn't even know how he got home. All he could think about was the cold shoulder that Evelyn had given him.She really didn't want him anymore.
