He held Evelyn in his arms helplessly, and his voice filled with reluctance as he said, "I'll go back first to handle some things, and then I'll come to see you when I'm done."Evelyn gently stroked his back to comfort him. "You're so obedient, Mr. Larkin."Warren smirked. "Don't tease me, or I won't mind letting your great-grandpa watch how I kiss you."She chuckled and stepped backward, pulling his arm as she addressed Gary, "Great-grandpa, he has things to do so he'll leave now. My dad and I will stay here to take care of you."Gary looked at Warren with reluctance in his eyes. "Go ahead. Young people should keep themselves occupied."After chatting with Gary for a few minutes, Warren left the room with Evelyn.…The helicopter landed on an open stretch of land.There were crowds surrounding the helicopter as it was a rare occasion to witness something so large arrive in the village.Fortunately, there were no street lights in the village, only the faint flashlight beams. I
Evelyn paused in her steps and looked at the handsome man in surprise. "Mr. Potter, why are you here?"Why did Dennis and Warren share the same profile?Not only that but even their body shape and movements were somewhat similar.She actually mistook two completely different people. If Warren found out, he would surely be jealous.Dennis smiled and answered, "I bought that piece of land and plan to build an ecological farm. I came to inspect the site."Evelyn looked in the direction he pointed and saw a lake.She nodded in agreement. "The area around this lake is surrounded by mountains. The environment is excellent, and the water is clean. You can build a water park here, it will definitely be very popular."He smiled. "You seem to know a lot.""I've worked on an ecological farm project with Warren before, it's almost the same as this location."When Dennis heard Warren's name, his eyes darkened.His voice also became somewhat low as he asked, "Have you… reconciled with him?
"It's so late, why did you come over?"Warren lowered his head and kissed her lips, smiling as he answered, "I missed you, so I came to see you."To come to see her earlier, he had barely slept in the past few days. His eyes were bloodshot.Evelyn touched his firm jawline with concern. "Are you very tired?"Warren's nose lightly brushed against her cheek as he whispered in her ear, "Yes, very tired, but not as tired as when I'm having sex with you."Her cheeks blushed at his suggestive words.She pounded his chest lightly and huffed. "Don't talk nonsense. There are people inside."He chuckled softly. "Can I kiss you then?"Before she could react, he lowered his head and kissed her.The fresh scent of mint, mixed with intense desire, quickly captivated Evelyn.Soft moans came from their mouths from time to time.Warren's kiss became more and more intense as if it carried all the longing of the past few days.His cold fingertips gently stroked her cheek as he said hoarsely, "
Upon hearing this, the smile on Warren's face gradually stiffened.He leaned close to Dennis' ear and asked in a low voice, "Who are you and what is your relationship with Evie?"Dennis took a sip of wine leisurely and smirked. "Take a guess!"Warren shoved Dennis using his legs under the table. He was smiling on the surface but gritting his teeth underneath. "Whoever you are, I won't let you take her away. She's mine.""It depends on whether you can protect her. I promised her that I would protect her for a lifetime and I won't break my promise.""Mr. Potter, are you talking about those childhood promises? Evie has long forgotten about them, but you're still deluding yourself here. Don't you think it's ridiculous?""Is it delusional? Let me reveal my identity and see if she remembers our past."When Warren heard this, he squeezed Dennis' wrist and his gaze was threatening. "You dare!"The two men held their wine glasses provocatively, the tension between them getting stronger
Evelyn put her clothes on and went outside. There, she saw Warren sitting cross-legged, playing chess with Gary.He was wearing a black turtleneck sweater with well-fitted trousers.He kept his back straight as he sat. His legs were long and slender.The sleeves of his sweater were rolled up slightly, revealing his strong defined forearms.His refined and noble air clashed starkly with the surroundings, creating a striking contrast.Upon seeing her enter, Gary immediately called out, "Evie, help me out on the next move. This young man has already beaten me three times. He's excellent."Evelyn laughed and walked over. She sat beside Gary and cast a slightly displeased look at Warren. "You could at least let an elder win a bit. You have no sense of consideration at all."Warren smiled. "Great-grandpa is the town's chess king. It would be an insult if I go easy on him. Isn't that right, great-grandpa?"Gary laughed heartily when he heard this. "My great-grandson-in-law understands
After saying this, he lifted the curtain and entered.He immediately noticed the man sitting on the bed.The man was dressed in black and sitting with a perfect posture. His dark hair fell over his forehead, making his features appear even more pronounced.A faint glimmer of amusement shone in his deep-set eyes.The smug on George's face disappeared as his muscles twitched and his legs trembled uncontrollably.Janine didn't notice his odd reaction. She immediately stepped forward and grabbed his arm. "George, examine if these things are fake."George was merely a department manager in a small subsidiary of the Larkin Corporation and had never seen Warren in person.He had only seen him on TV.He had heard that Warren had a beautiful secretary by his side, but he never thought that woman was his cousin.And now they were about to get married.He wondered when such wealth and luck would come his way.George immediately walked over to Warren, offering him a cigarette and shakin
Seeing that she was crying uncontrollably, Warren gently stroked her head to comfort her."Evie, I'll arrange for specialists to treat Great-grandpa now. We'll return to the city immediately."Those at the doorway objected. "There's no point in treating this illness. It's just a waste of money. If you have money to burn, go ahead, but we won't.""Exactly. We don't have that kind of money. I still have three kids who need to get married. We can't afford it."Hearing all this, Evelyn coldly responded, "We don't need anything from any of you. From now on, my dad and I will take care of Great-grandpa."When Janine heard this, she got upset."I see it now. Treating Grandpa is just an excuse for you to get his treasures. No way! If he goes, the treasures stay!""Yeah. Leave the treasures behind."Evelyn was disgusted by their greediness. She hadn't thought that they would go to such great lengths for their own benefit.They were all Gary's descendants; people who he had cared for.
Gary had long hoped to see her get married. It was likely his biggest remaining wish.Evelyn wanted to fulfill this for him before he passed away.Warren understood her intentions.He gently reassured her. "Alright. We'll get our marriage certificate and start preparing for the wedding right away, so Great-grandpa can be at peace, okay?"Evelyn's tears streamed down as she said, "But your mother has always opposed us being together. I haven't gotten pregnant yet, I'm afraid—"Before she could finish, he silenced her with a kiss.The kiss was light and tender.His deep, husky voice murmured in her ears. "Silly girl, it's me who wants to marry you. This has nothing to do with anyone else. Having a child would just be a bonus. Even without one, we will still be happy together."He kissed away the tears at the corners of her eyes and softly coaxed her. "You don't have to do anything except be Mrs. Larkin. I'll take care of everything. I promise you a grand wedding."The thought of
