Evelyn was woken up by her blaring ringtone. Groggily, she answered her phone.Seth's warm voice sounded over the phone. "Evie, come to the balcony."Confused, Evelyn went to the balcony barefooted. As soon as she opened the window, she saw Seth's tall figure standing downstairs. He was wearing a white shirt and gray slacks. Right now, his handsome face was highlighted by a gentle smile.Leaning against his car, he looked up at Evelyn. The way the sunlight hit him made him look even more attractive. The image reminded Evelyn of the first day of orientation. He had smiled at her the same way. He had looked just as handsome.He was like a warm beam of sunlight that illuminated her dark world.If she had never met Warren back then, she might have fallen for him instead.Evelyn waved at him. "Seth, don't you have overtime today?" she asked over the call.Seth's smile broadened. His voice grew even more romantic. "Evie, I have a surprise for you."Before Evelyn could respond, she
When Charlie saw how jealous and arrogant his boss was, he couldn't help but say, "Mr. Larkin, women these days love romance. Even I feel touched after seeing such a romantic display of feelings, much less Ms. Jefferson, who had never experienced any romance."Warren chided, "Evelyn likes practical things. Every time I bought her a gift, she would be overjoyed. She definitely doesn't like these grand yet impractical gestures."Charlie looked at Warren like he was stupid. "Mr. Larkin, did you not see the happy smile on Ms. Jefferson's face just now? It shows that she does like these things. If she was a materialistic woman, why would she date you for three years without using your black card even once?"Those words cut Warren's heart deeply. Not only did Evelyn never use his card, she hadn't even wanted to take the things that he gave her.However, he kept assuming that Evelyn was a materialistic woman. He thought that as long as he was willing to spend money on her, she would never
At the sound of Warren's voice, the breadstick hovered in mid-air and never made it to Seth's mouth. Before Seth or Evelyn could react, Warren had already reached their side. He pulled Evelyn into his arms and said sulkily, "Evie, you can't feed him. You can only feed me."As soon as he said that, he lowered his head and bit the breadstick out of Evelyn's hand. He even purposely used his tongue to lick Evelyn's oily fingers. Then, he smiled at her and said, "These aren't even delicious. I bought you a cake. It's your favorite."Evelyn was so angry that her eyes turned red. Her happy mood from before was now ruined by Warren. She took a baby wipe from her bag and thoroughly wiped the spot that Warren had just licked. Mercilessly, she spat, "Warren, I don't even like apricots, much less apricot cake. I only ate them in the past to indulge you. Please don't come here to be put in your place!"With that, she dragged Seth into the car. No matter how much Warren shouted at her, she di
"Bailey, don't be rude!" Bailey only stopped barking after it heard Warren's voice. Still, it stood between Seth and Evelyn.Warren walked over to Bailey's side. Bending at the waist, he grabbed it by the scruff of its neck. With an apologetic smile, he said, "Sorry, Bailey doesn't like it when other men get close to its mother."Evelyn knew what was going on. She glared at Warren angrily and demanded, "Warren, what do you think you're doing?"Warren looked up calmly. His eyes were filled with affection. "I'm helping Bailey woo its Mom. Can't you tell?"Evelyn gritted her teeth in anger. "Well, let me tell you now that you'll never woo her because I won't give you the chance!"Then, she went to Seth's side and asked worriedly, "Seth, are you alright?""I'm fine. You should head up first. It was a tiring day, so go shower and get some rest. I'll pick you up tomorrow."Evelyn took her bag from his hands. Smiling, she waved at him before turning around to go upstairs.She never
Everyone was astounded when they heard those words. They all whipped around to stare at Warren. From their faces, they seemed to be thinking the same thing, "How can you be so shameless?"Evelyn had brought her new boyfriend here. It was obvious that she was trying to draw clear boundaries with Warren. Yet, Warren clung to her side.Calling himself her godfather was one thing, but he even mentioned giving her a little brother.What the hell was that about?Only Warren looked composed. He lowered his gaze, while a smile played on his lips. With his long fingers, he gently tapped Remy's chubby cheeks. Audaciously, he asked, "Evie, do you think our kids will be cuter than Remy? After all, we're much better looking than Ezra and Tammy."At first, Ezra had been sympathetic with Warren's flagrant antics. He had originally planned to watch this play out without intervention when his name was unexpectedly brought up. Furious, he kicked Warren in the thigh and said huffily, "So what if y
Evelyn handed Remy back to Tammy. Then, she came up with an excuse to leave. When she got home, she scrounged around her drawers until she found a bag of her herbal medicine. Immediately, she had a friend conduct the analysis.When she saw the report, she was crushed.Their child hadn't died due to vigorous movement, the true culprit had been the medicine. And Warren had taken her to get this medicine himself.Her doctor had told her that she had taken too many Plan B pills, which had caused her ovaries to go into premature failure and reduced her fertility. She had thought that taking the pill once or twice a month was considered frequent.But she now knew that a couple of Plan B pills could not cause such great damage. The main reason that she had difficulty conceiving was because Warren had given her this medicine.He had never wanted a kid the entire time.After learning that she had a miscarriage, he had even placed the blame on her. He had wanted to use this as an excus
The entire ballroom was surrounded with flowers. The seats were all filled with Seth's family members as well as Evelyn's friends and colleagues.Everyone was stunned when they saw her standing at the entrance in her gown. All of them gasped in unison. "Wow!"Before Evelyn came to her senses, her colleague approached her and handed her a bouquet. With a smile, she said, "Ms. Jefferson, we wish you happiness."Stupefied, Evelyn looked at Seth, who was standing not far away. He was dressed very formally today, wearing a light gray suit and a dark tie. He watched her with a sentimental gaze.She would be stupid if she didn't know what was happening.Ever since she agreed to date Seth, she never saw him much. He kept giving her the excuse that he was busy. It turned out that he had been preparing this surprise for her.She would be lying if she said she wasn't moved by such a thoughtful gesture.Smiling, she slowly walked forward. With every step, people gave her flowers and congrat
Inside the envelope, there was a paternity test report attached with a note. It read, "Seth, Albert is your son. He'll be staying with you for some time. Once I'm less busy, I'll come pick him up. Signed, Jennifer."When Seth saw the handwriting on the note as well as the signature, he was shocked.Jennifer was his girlfriend while he was abroad. They had dated for half a year and had been living together during that time. After that, he had come to a realization that he couldn't forget about Evelyn and was constantly calling Evelyn's name in his dreams. Thinking that it wasn't fair to Jennifer, he broke up with her.At the time, Jennifer had left him rather decisively.However, he hadn't known that she had already been pregnant then.Seth didn't know how to face Evelyn. He looked at her with reddened eyes and said, "Evelyn, I don't know what's going on. Listen to me, you're the one I've always been in love with. This child was an accident."At this point, Evelyn had understood
