Evelyn felt something hot press against her back.Warren pressed his lips all over her body. Every inch of her skin that he kissed felt like it was on fire.She closed her eyes bitterly and pushed Warren aside. "It's the middle of the day. What are you doing?"Seeing her teary eyes, Warren's heart ached. "You love children. But because of my carelessness, our child died. I just want to make things up to you."Evelyn felt a lump in her throat. She forced herself to speak. "Warren, if I—"She wanted to say, "If I couldn't have kids", but the sound of her phone ringing interrupted her. Seeing that it was Seth calling, she immediately answered.However, she heard a child's voice instead. "I miss you, Aunt Evelyn."Evelyn immediately hid her emotions. Smiling, she replied, "I miss you too. Who are you with right now, Albert?""I'm with Mom and Dad. Dad is making us breakfast."Upon hearing this, Evelyn smiled in relief. It seemed like Seth had finally moved on from her and was now
Evelyn never knew that to get Jennifer to agree to work with him, Warren had stood in the snow for an entire night.A weird emotion filled Evelyn's heart.She was heartbroken for Warren, but more than that, she was touched by everything he did.She kept her emotions out of view and smiled at Jennifer. After that, she said, "Thank you for telling me about this. I pray that you and Seth will get back together soon."Jennifer grinned and replied, "Sometimes, getting back together needs more than just courage. We also need someone who is willing to work hard for it selflessly."Ms. Jefferson, have you still not sensed that there is something wrong with Warren's legal case in Frawser?"Upon hearing those words, Evelyn frowned a little. She asked, "What do you mean?""I'm just saying. Warren loves you so much. How is it possible that he let other women have the opportunity to get close to him? Does he really strike you as the kind of guy who would lose all sense after drinking too muc
The video was from the hotel in Frawser. It showed the night that Warren was framed.He had drunk too much and was completely out of it while in bed. However, when Laine tried to get close to him, he would move away from her.Their skins never even touched the entire time.Everything was a show that Laine had put on.That meant Jennifer had guessed right. Warren's case was to help lift Evelyn's career from the bottom.However, Warren himself lost a fortune because of that.Warren grew up leading a luxurious lifestyle. Yet, he had to stay locked in the humid, dark prison for over ten days. He even had to adhere to the rules that the crime boss set.He lowered his stance and sacrificed himself to help her get back to the top.Evelyn had to admit that without Warren's case, it'd take her at least six months to return to the spot she was once in.It was even possible that the others in the industry would forget all about her after more time had passed. If that were to happen, it w
Just then, Tim entered the house to report."Mrs. Larkin Senior, the members of the Miles family are here. Mrs. Miles Senior is here in person, and Ms. Sullivan is with her."A hint of hatred flashed past Bonnie's gaze.She had developed a distaste toward Clara since finding out about the latter's attempt at conning them.At first, Bonnie planned to kick Clara out. However, the former didn't expect the latter to come along with Sally.The two families were friends for generations.There was no way Bonnie could kick anyone out if Sally had come in person.Bonnie immediately got up and replied, "I'll welcome them."She had just left the house when she saw Clara in a light blue dress. The latter was hugging Sally as they walked toward the house.Sally's innocent face remained lit with a sweet smile."Mrs. Larkin Senior, my grandmother and I are here to wish you a happy birthday. May your year be filled with joy."Bonnie made her way over while smiling. She held Sally's hand and
Evelyn knew what the bracelet represented when she saw it. She shifted her gaze to Warren to send him an implicit message and ask him about it.Warren smiled and stroked her head. "Grandma gave it to you, so you should keep it," said Warren, "Don't turn to me. You're the one who will have to take care of everything in the house in the future, not me."His words made it clear that they were a couple.They also announced Evelyn's future role and status.Every guest at the party was from a prominent family. They knew what was going on and immediately made their way over with their glasses to say their congratulations.Everyone wanted to take advantage of Warren's good mood and get on his good side.Evelyn smiled sweetly and replied, "Thank you, Grandma."Bonnie was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She immediately waved to the others in the family."Alright, I've given my welcoming gift. Where are yours?" said Bonnie before she warned, "Also, no one is allowed to be cheap w
"Evelyn doesn't need to do a thing to be a hundred times better than you are. What's the point of competing?"Warren's words got Clara utterly humiliated. She looked pitiful when she stared at him and said, "Warren, I never intended to put Evelyn in an awkward position. It's normal for her not to have any artistic abilities. Not everyone is born with that kind of talent. There's no need to shield her to that extent."Her words implied that Evelyn definitely had no skills.It didn't matter if Evelyn performed or not at that point. She would still be embarrassed.Just as Warren was about to refute, Evelyn put her fingers on his lips to stop him. She smiled when she looked at him and said, "I am a prominent lawyer. Why would I need the powerful Mr. Larkin to speak up for me? Don't worry. I won't embarrass you."After saying that, she turned her attention to Clara. "What competition do you propose?"Clara feigned being troubled. She said, "I only said those words earlier because th
Evelyn knew the lady in front of her was Clara's grandmother. By right, Evelyn shouldn't feel anything positive toward the elderly lady. Hence, she didn't know why she couldn't help feeling heartbroken when she saw Sally crying like that.Evelyn held Sally's arm and warmly replied, "Mrs. Miles Senior, I am Evelyn."When Sally heard those words, she wiped her tears off in disappointment. She held Evelyn's hand and sobbed. She asked, "Why aren't you Sonya? You look just like my Sonya when she played that song. Are the two of you—"Before she could finish talking, Clara interrupted. She rubbed Sally's shoulder and looked sad when she asked, "Grandma, do you miss Mom? I miss her, too. I'll take you to her tomorrow, okay?"Sally couldn't finish her sentence when she saw the tears on Clara's face.Sally didn't know why she saw Sonya when she looked at Evelyn. Everything from their smile to their style was too similar. That made Sally wonder if the two of them genuinely weren't related.
"Mrs. Larkin Senior, it seems you'll be disappointed. Evelyn won't be granting you that wish."Hearing those words got Sally to tug at Clara's dress for a bit. The elderly lady scolded, "You are such a rude child. Don't talk nonsense. Today is Mrs. Larkin Senior's birthday. How can you say something so mean?"Clara acted as though she was the one being wronged. She looked sad when she replied, "Grandma, I'm telling the truth. Back then, Mrs. Larkin Senior knew that I couldn't have kids, and for the sake of the family's future, she didn't want me to get together with Warren."However, Evelyn can't have kids, either. Don't you know about that, Mrs. Larkin Senior?"Those words got Bonnie's smile to stiffen.Her gaze burned with anger when she glared at Clara and said, "Clara, my friendship with your grandmother made me forgive you for your past mistake. However, I will not allow you to say such horrible things about Evelyn."How could you say something like that just because Warren
