"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
Hearing those words got Chets's dark eyes to suddenly light up with hope. He asked, "Where is she?""We haven't figured that out yet. All we have is a photo of a little girl. A reporter took a photo of her when she took part in a dance competition.""Send that photo to me," instructed Chet excitedly.His phone received a WhatsApp message soon after. When he tapped on the photo to look at it, his eyes instantly became wet with tears.That birthmark was extremely similar to that of his mother's.It was right on the girl's shoulder blade.The photo only showed the girl's back. Her face couldn't be seen.That being said, it was still obvious that the girl's figure seemed good. Her waist was thin, and she had long legs. A few drops of sweat were rolling down her beautiful neck.A happy grin crept up on Chet's lips.If that truly was his sister, then it looked like she was living well.Chet immediately ordered his men to continue searching for the girl.Compared to the aimless sea
Evelyn said, "I know that having kids is very important to you, but I saw everything you did for me that day. I couldn't hold myself back and wanted to be with you."I planned to tell you about it after you are discharged from the hospital. If you can't accept that, then we'll go our separate ways."Warren, let's try for a while. If I truly can't get pregnant, then I will leave on my own accord. I won't make things hard for you."When she said those words, she felt as though her heart was being torn apart.Her voice trembled endlessly as well.Hearing that got Warren's throat to feel a little dry.He held her in his arms and tilted his head to kiss her tears away.Warren wondered just how much Evelyn loved him. He couldn't believe that she was still thinking about his well-being despite her own body being in such an unhealthy state.She never complained about how he was indirectly responsible for all that damage to her body, either.Warren was so heartbroken that he felt as th
Whenever the words "I love you" were uttered, Warren's movement would become a little wilder. He did that to show Evelyn just how much he loved her.It was so strong and so deep that it was unfathomable.Toward the end, Evelyn became completely overwhelmed by the insanely wild passion.An entire night of wild lovemaking undoubtedly used up a lot of energy.Evelyn slept until the next afternoon.She felt that even her fingertips were sore. She was so exhausted that she could barely pick up her phone. That got her to cuss at Warren internally for some time.Just then, her phone, which was placed on the nightstand, rang.When she saw that the caller was Jazzie, she picked the call up right away."Jazzie," greeted Evelyn.On the other end of the line, Jazzie shrieked as soon as she heard her tired, raspy voice."Evie, why do you sound tired? Don't tell me you actually got back together with that scumbag, Warren?"Evelyn murmured a soft "Yeah," then informed, "I went to meet his
Ethan chuckled, "If you're curious to meet her, go ahead. As I've mentioned, I have the final say in my marriage, and I won't entertain any arranged ones." "Rascal! What's with your aversion to that girl? You used to carry her on your back when you were younger." "Grandpa, I've carried plenty of girls. Do you want me to bring all of them home? Anyway, I have things to take care of. I'm hanging up." With that, he signaled to Jazzie to end the call. Jazzie grinned mischievously. "Aren't you even considering meeting your fiancée? What if she's stunning? You might regret it." Ethan rolled his eyes at her. "Even if she were a goddess, I still wouldn't marry her!" Meanwhile, Jazzie received a WhatsApp message from her mother. Opening it, she saw a picture of a dazzling, carefree man. As she scrutinized the man's features, her eyes widened in disbelief. Wasn't this the same rogue standing right in front of her? Upon reading the message, her entire demeanor changed instantly."J
Upon hearing Warren's words, Evelyn immediately scrambled out of the bed. She couldn't endure such antics even if she wished to have a child. Warren's lips curled into a satisfied smile as he watched her stumble into the bathroom. Yet, ever since that day, the room was often filled with the pleasant chime of bells, sometimes ringing incessantly through the night. Recently, Evelyn had been immersed in a week-long divorce case. Returning home, she found herself endlessly tormented by Warren. She felt like she was falling apart. As dawn broke, she lay in bed awake, her weary body ached with every movement. She then buried her head deeper into the covers. The wintry sunlight pierced through the curtain's crevices, casting a golden glow on Evelyn's exposed calves, accentuating her fair skin. The silver anklet adorning her ankle gleamed brighter, its bells emitting a melodious sound.Warren approached the bedside, pinching Evelyn's silky-smooth cheeks, his voice tinged with relucta
"Bailey, that scumbag finally embarked on his business trip. It's just you and me for the next couple of weeks. Doesn't that sound exciting?" Bailey responded with a few enthusiastic barks. As the two reveled in the moment, Evelyn's phone chimed. Glancing at the caller ID, she swiftly answered. "Hey, Tammy." "Evelyn, there's a charity auction tomorrow night. I heard there will be plenty of cute items up for grabs. Care to join?" Without hesitation, Evelyn agreed. "Absolutely, it's perfect for the approaching Christmas. I could use some gift hunting." Tammy chuckled knowingly. "It's time you spoiled Mr. Larkin a little. He does take such good care of you, after all." Evelyn blushed. "Where did you hear that?" "From his Instagram story, for sure. Haven't you seen it? The usually reserved Mr. Larkin has been posting incessantly ever since he's been with you. "Ezra says he's like a peacock flaunting its feathers, displaying his love for you everywhere, as if afraid people w
Every word Clara spoke seemed to hit Evelyn right where it hurt the most. She knew exactly what buttons to push, relishing the anticipation of seeing Evelyn lose her cool. Yet, despite the verbal onslaught, Evelyn remained unfazed, her attention solely focused on Remy. With a gentle pinch on Remy's chubby cheeks, she quipped, "How did a fly manage to find its way in during winter? Don't worry, Remy. Aunt Evelyn will take care of it later."Remy seemed to comprehend her words, humming in agreement. Tammy chimed in with a jest, "Seems like this fly is getting on everyone's nerves. Even Remy wants to shoo it away." On the verge of exploding with anger, Clara clenched her fists by her side before turning to sit in front of Evelyn. As the auction commenced, offering an array of trinkets, Evelyn casually bid on a few items, planning to gift them to her colleagues. But when a pair of enchanting starry earrings graced the screen, Evelyn's eyes sparked with excitement. As they were c
