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
Those words struck Warren like lightning. He immediately froze to the spot.Many seconds later, he finally said, "What are you saying?""Xena said that she saw that the woman who abandoned the child had a mole on her forehead. The housekeeper who worked for your mother also has an identical mole at that spot. Warren, could it be that Evie—"Warren didn't wait for Simon to finish speaking before saying, "No, Evie is the daughter of Sonya and Johnny, not Iris. I will investigate this matter thoroughly. Please don't tell Evelyn yet, Mr. Jefferson."Upon hearing this, Simon's tense heart finally relaxed. He sighed and said, "I hope this has nothing to do with your mother. Or else, you and Evie would be…"He couldn't imagine what would happen if Iris had ordered someone to abandon a child. He wondered if Sonya's death had something to do with her.If that was true, then it meant that Evelyn should despise Warren for the death of her mother.How could they end up together?After hang
Warren hugged Evelyn so tightly that she couldn't breathe.She had never seen Warren so unlike himself before. In her memories, no matter what happened, he was always the lord pulling the strings behind the scenes.But now, he looked like an anxious child, pestering her for assurance.Evelyn didn't know what made Warren so nervous. She rubbed his head gently and said in a warm voice, "Okay, I won't leave."Ever since he risked his life to save her father, she had made up her mind. She was afraid that she might never leave Warren in this lifetime.Looking into the resolute eyes and hearing her gentle, comforting words, Warren couldn't hold back anymore. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her.This time, he kissed her with intense emotions. He pressed their lips together impatiently as though he wanted to swallow Evelyn whole.The fierce kiss left Evelyn breathless. She felt Warren lock lips with her repeatedly like a madman. Every turn of their heads felt like a goodbye.The
Warren clearly remembered that his mother had a sketch of this necklace in her drawer. It was identical down to the shape and number of the diamonds.When he was younger, he had been drawn to this necklace. He found it very beautiful. He always thought that it would look gorgeous on someone's neck.When his mother saw that he was fixated on the necklace, she smiled and rubbed his head. She said kindly, "I designed this for the little girl in Aunt Sonya's belly. Consider it a token of affection from you to her. Do you think it's pretty?"He had felt shy at the time, but he still nodded with a smile.Afterward, Sonya got in an accident, and no one brought up the necklace again.Maybe it had been a promise that was just between his mother and Sonya, and no one else knew about it.So, if Sonya had been holding onto his tightly before she died, what did that mean?Warren felt his chest tighten. He immediately went to the window and opened it, taking in the fresh air from outside.Hi
