Didn't Want Me Before, Can't Have Me Now Chapter 223
Warren led Evelyn out the back door of the campus. By chance, they passed by the alley where that incident happened three years ago.The alley looked just as run-down as it was before. Occasionally, they could hear stray cats meowing loudly.The flickering street lamps cast long shadows beneath their feet.Evelyn was traumatized by this place. She unconsciously clung to Warren's arm. "Warren, why did you bring me here?" she said nervously.Warren's handsome face looked even more striking in the dim light. His dark eyes shimmered faintly. Smiling slightly, he gazed at Evelyn softly. "Evie, I didn't know what it meant to fall in love back then. I always thought that my attraction to you was purely physical. After you left me, I realized that I already liked you before I even saw you. If I didn't, I would not have asked you to stay."I never thought I would ever have a long-lasting love. My parents greatly impacted me, so I always buried the sincerity I felt toward you deep in my hea

Charlie responded, "Yes, I'll do it right now."After hanging up, Warren was quiet for a few seconds. He just had his men talk to Xena, but before they could get any useful information out of her, this happened.There was no way this was a coincidence.It seemed like the person in the shadows was influential enough to pull strings in the prison. Warren wondered if they were trying to kill a witness or if there was another motive behind this.He glanced at Evelyn while a bad feeling brewed inside his heart."Evie," he said quietly. "Spend the next few days with me. You're not allowed to go anywhere else."Earlier, Evelyn had heard the entire phone call. She knew what Warren was worried about. Thus, she didn't protest his request and just nodded.For the next few days, Warren stayed at Evelyn's house. Even though they slept in different rooms, their relationship had significantly improved.Just as they thought the entire thing had blown over, Evelyn received a phone call from her

Explosives were strapped to Simon's and Xena's bodies.Xena hid behind Simon, making it difficult for them to snipe her.Warren didn't believe that Xena was capable of such an extricate plan or covering someone in explosives. The person behind the scenes was powerful enough to reach the prison and even orchestrate a flawless escape plan. There was no way they were an ordinary person.At the thought of this, Warren's eyes turned stormy.Seeing explosives tied to her father's body, Evelyn exclaimed in surprise, "Dad!"She wanted to rush over to him, but Simon stopped her. "Evie, Warren, don't come close. Get away from here as quickly as you can. This woman is crazy. She has the remote control in her hand. She just wants us to die together!"Warren grabbed Evelyn's wrist tightly. He kept his voice calm. "Evie, don't move. Allow me."He raised the briefcase in his hand and looked straight at Xena. "The money and plane have been prepared for you. Release him."Xena laughed coolly. "

Warren grasped the hand with which Xena held the remote control.As they rolled down the side of the hill, Warren forcefully twisted her wrist, snapping it. She screamed in pain and tossed the remote control aside.They were rolling more and more quickly. Soon, they disappeared from everyone's line of sight.Immediately after, there was a deafening explosion from the foot of the mountain.Evelyn leaned over the cliff and screamed in the direction of the sound, "Warren!"The only response she got was the echo of her own voice from the valley, as well as the billowing smoke.Evelyn dug her fingers into the soil. The dirt broke her fingernails, but she was completely unaware of the blood spilling from her skin. She crumpled to the floor, screaming Warren's name over and over again.Unbeknownst to her, tears were spilling down her face.Charlie ran over to comfort her. "Ms. Jefferson, our people are already down there looking for him. I'm sure nothing will happen to Mr. Larkin."A

After several seconds, Warren slowly opened his eyes. With shallow breaths, he asked, "Is Evie okay?"When William heard his voice, he felt himself tear up briefly despite his usual uncaring personality. He wasn't overjoyed that Warren had woken up from the dead, but he was glad for Evelyn. He knew that if something happened to Warren, Evelyn would be in a lot of pain.Grinning evilly, he replied, "She's great. If you died, she would immediately marry me."Warren's lip twitched. He said in a gravelly voice, "I won't give you that chance.""Are you still trying to one-up me at this point? If I hadn't found you, you would have ended up food for the wolves."He bent down and shifted Warren onto his back. Then, he blew his whistle.Soon, several special force soldiers ran in this direction. They took turns carrying Warren out of the forest.Evelyn was standing not too far away, watching the search. When she saw their silhouettes, she immediately stumbled over. She screamed in a sh

However, Warren hadn't known that the moment he jumped off that cliff, Evelyn's heart had broken too.While waiting for him to be rescued, it felt like a century had passed.She didn't know how many times she had chanted his name in her head.Every time she did, her heart would squeeze in pain.It was at that moment that Evelyn realized that she had moved on from those bad times with Warren. What was deeply rooted in her heart was her years-long fixation on him. It was the love that had been etched into her bones.When Bonnie saw how upset Evelyn was, her eyes teared up. She crouched down and patted Evelyn's shoulder. "Evie, you must be terrified. Let me hug you."Evelyn looked at her tearfully. She made a choked sound in the back of her throat. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Larkin Senior."Even at this age, Bonnie was going through tough times with them. Every time, someone barely escaped with their lives.And every time, her most beloved grandson got hurt.However, not only did she not u

Evelyn whipped around, meeting Warren's depthless gaze. She immediately put down her spoon and ran to the bed. "Warren, are you awake? Do you feel strange anywhere?"Warren gave Dennis a look and asked hoarsely, "Evie, who is he? I don't like him. Get him out of here."Evelyn looked at him in confusion. "That's Dennis Porter. He saved me before. Have you forgotten? Don't tell me you've lost your memories. Do you know who I am?""Of course I do. You're my wife." He pulled Evelyn into his arms and kissed her. Then, he turned to Dennis. "Have you never seen an intimate moment between a couple before? Don't you know you're supposed to look away?"Dennis scoffed in anger. "I've never seen someone so energetic the moment they wake up. I wonder if you were faking your coma the past few days, Mr. Larkin."Seeing his apathetic attitude, Warren gnashed his teeth. "You lie down and try to fake it, then."He tried to get up, but his injuries hurt from the movement. Gasping, he looked at Evel

Warren held onto Evelyn's head. "That's not enough, Evie," he said, his voice full of indescribable longing. Then, he kissed her.The kiss was gentle and also a little careful. His hands slowly caressed her waist, and his fingertips left a blaze along her spine.Evelyn felt herself turn to jelly from the kisses. She also had a feeling about what Warren wanted to do next. Panting slightly, she called his name. "Warren."It wasn't as bad when she wasn't talking. However, hearing her utter his name while panting seductively was like adding fuel to the fire for Warren.Those depthless eyes of his filled with uncontained lust.He kissed Evelyn's lips over and over again. His voice was laced with a charm that she couldn't resist. "Evie, just let me kiss you for a while, okay?"Before he even finished speaking, his hot lips were already traveling down her neck.They pressed against that soft spot.She hadn't felt this way in so long. She couldn't stop herself from crying out.This fa

Every word Linda spoke conveyed Warren's trust in her and disdain for Evelyn. She was suggesting that he didn't even want to come in person to visit Simon.Evelyn could tell what Linda was thinking. A faint, cold smile curved at the corner of her lips.She took out her phone from her bag, looked at Linda, and said, "Is that so? Then, I should personally call Mr. Larkin to thank him for remembering my father's kindness toward him."After she finished speaking, she started pretending to make a phone call.Linda immediately spoke up to stop her. "Mr. Larkin is very busy and currently in a meeting, so please do not disturb him.""Is it that he's busy, or is it that you don't want him to know you're visiting my father without his permission?"Linda realized that her thoughts were seen through by Evelyn, so she decided not to pretend anymore.A slight smirk appeared at the corner of her mouth. "Evelyn, back then, you took so much from Warren without regard for his well-being. Your hea

Evelyn immediately took out a piece of tissue to help Simon wipe away his tears. She said softly, "Dad, I know you have a lot you want to say to Ms. Dawson, so please wake up soon. We're all waiting for you."Simon's eyelashes fluttered slightly, as if he was agreeing to the promise.After that, Erica took out silver needles from her bag and inserted them into the acupuncture points on Simon's head.…One hour later, the first acupuncture session was complete.Evelyn asked with some concern, "Ms. Dawson, how is my dad?"Erica was tidying up while speaking, "His condition is better than I expected. At this rate, he should be showing more obvious responses in about a week."Hearing these words, Evelyn looked at her excitedly. "Really? That's great! My dad has hope now!"Ms. Dawson, you've been running around all day. Let me take you to eat first, then you can rest at the hotel."Just as she finished speaking, Simon grabbed Erica's hand.Seeing this scene, Evelyn's eyes widened

The room suddenly became so quiet that they could even hear each other's breathing.Tears welled up in Erica's eyes as she stared at Simon. She only went to his bedside, taking a few difficult steps, after several minutes.Erica gently placed her fingertips on Simon's wrist as tears fell onto his arm.Watched her unusual reaction, Evelyn finally remembered where she had seen Erica before.There was a picture of a women hidden in Simon's private photo album. If Evelyn wasn't mistaken, that woman is Erica.Simon had kept that photo all along, while Erica teared up upon seeing him. This kind of thing usually happened between couples.When Evelyn thought about it, she suddenly understood everything.Erica was someone Simon had been in love with many years ago. The unfortunate couple was separated initially because of Xena's scheme.Evelyn walked slowly to the bedside, patted Erica on the shoulder, and asked, "Do you know my dad, Dr. Dawson?"Erica wiped away her tears and sighed.

Erica was dressed very plainly, but her delicate features still stood out. The red mole near the corner of her eye felt especially familiar to Evelyn.Her first thought was that she had definitely seen Erica somewhere before.She calmly approached with a smile and said, "Dr. Dawson, we're here to fetch you to treat my father."Erica greeted them with a smile. "Come inside and have some water first. I'll go pack up, and we can leave in a short while."They followed her and entered the courtyard once more.While packing her things, Erica asked, "So, which one of you is Sophie's friend?"William, who had always been carefree and uninhibited, immediately stood up and respectfully said to Erica, "It's me. I met her in Zyldrica."Erica looked him up and down, her eyes revealing a hint of delight. "You seem very handsome and look spirited, young man."William's smile was somewhat stiff. It was the first time someone had ever complimented him, and he didn't know how to react.When fac

Evelyn stepped forward and said, "But Warren and the others have been doing everything they can to find you and get you out."Alfred shook his head. "If I leave, that bastard will know that you all have discovered his secret. All your subsequent plans will fail."I'm staying here since he won't do anything to me anyway. I still have something I haven't given him yet. How else do you think I've lived until now?"You all should leave quickly. Just pretend nothing happened. My granddaughter and I will handle that jerk ourselves.""Mr. Miller Senior—"Evelyn wanted to say something else, but Nathan, who was behind her, grabbed her abruptly.He furrowed his brow and looked at Alfred. "Evelyn, Mr. Miller Senior is right. If he leaves, Warren's plan will be ruined. Don't worry, I'll assign someone to keep an eye on this place and make sure nothing will happen to him."Evelyn was eager to save Alfred so that Warren could launch a full-scale attack on Russell. Only then could they reunit

Elma shook her head in disbelief. "That's impossible. You're talking nonsense. My dad was killed by Chester long ago. The person who killed him is not Sir."Evelyn gave a calm smile. "He says he's protecting you, but in reality, he has always treated you as a pawn to control Iris. Otherwise, your mother wouldn't risk her life so willingly for him."I could never understand why Iris would obey someone so willingly. But then I met you, and everything became clear to me."Have you never wondered why your mother looks so much like Mrs. Larkin? That person definitely won't tell you that they are twin sisters."You're also the one keeping an eye on this old man's biological daughter. That person has known about this secret for a long time but has kept it from Iris to fully control her."Whether it's your father, Ronald, or your mother, Iris, their tragic lives were all caused by that 'Sir' you mentioned. Do you want to follow in their footsteps?"Hearing these words, Elma glared at Eve

The gears lunged toward them, like a giant shark with its jaws wide open.Just then, Nathan suddenly held Evelyn in his arms. In a low and hoarse voice filled with suppressed emotion, he called out softly, "Evie."His grip around her was tight. It felt as if he wanted to fuse Evelyn into himself. At the same time, he pressed a button that was a disgusting shade of yellow with his other hand.Everyone was wide-eyed with fear, staring intently at the turning gears.If the wrong button was pressed, not only would the gears not stop, but other traps in this room might be activated. They were in double jeopardy, and there was no escape for them.At that critical moment, the rumbling sound of the gears gradually diminished until it faded away entirely. The gears stopped just short of three feet away from them.Evelyn looked up at Nathan, her eyes wide with shock, and her voice trembling. "Nathan, we're saved."Nathan smiled and gently brushed her hair. "I told you, I won't let anythin

The elderly man was none other than Warren's grandfather, Alfred. But wasn't Alfred being held in Milania by Russell? Moreover, he had been poisoned and was supposed to be unconscious.Yet, the elderly man before them was sitting at a table, leisurely playing a game of chess.Evelyn didn't have time to think much. She pressed the switch next to her, opened the door, and rushed in.Just as they went in, the glass door automatically closed behind them, and the entire room started to slowly descend—right into where the gears were turning.Evelyn looked at Nathan with some panic. "I think we've been tricked."Nathan looked at a control panel in the room and said, "Don't worry. This is the control console. As long as we find the button to stop the gears from turning, we'll be fine."After speaking, he carefully examined the central control panel.At that moment, Elma's laughter echoed again in the room. "Evelyn, this control panel has 81 buttons, and each one will trigger a different

Elma's eyes seemed so familiar to Evelyn that they left a deep impression in her mind.When Evelyn was deep in thought, she suddenly opened her eyes wide as a name popped into her mind—Iris Lindt.Elma's eyes and nose looked a lot like Iris'. Could it be that they were related?Evelyn tried to stand up and look for William and Nathan, but her hands and feet were tied, making moving impossible.She softly called out, "William? Mr. Holland?"There was no response, so she tried calling out again. This time, a deep, hoarse voice rang out close by. "Evelyn, I'm over here."Nathan's voice was urgent and full of concern. In the darkness, Evelyn almost mistook it again for Warren's voice.She responded, "Mr. Holland, where is William?"Nathan kicked William beside him and said, "He's next to me. The drug seems to be affecting him more. Don't be afraid, I'll be over there right away."After speaking, Nathan crawled toward Evelyn. Seeing her pale face, he felt a bit concerned and asked,
