Didn't Want Me Before, Can't Have Me Now Chapter 269
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

He squeezed some toothpaste onto an electric toothbrush and put it into Evelyn's mouth.When they went downstairs, Evelyn noticed Gary in a red tuxedo. He was sitting in a wheelchair and looking at them.She walked over with a smile and gave him a once-over. "We're just getting the marriage certificate; this isn't the wedding. Isn't this too formal?"Gary couldn't stop grinning. "You're getting married. Of course I have to dress up. After you get your certificate, we're going home. The Larkin family is bringing gifts to your father's house. I can't bring shame to you."Hearing this, Evelyn looked at Warren in disbelief. "How… has everything happened so quickly?"Warren raised an eyebrow. "Grandma and the others got excited when they heard we were getting married. They went for a tarot reading and noted that today's date is auspicious for weddings. We'll go get our certificate, then come back to pick up Great-grandpa and head to your house."Evelyn suddenly realized that she hardl

Warren's heart thumped in fear when he heard those words."What happened?"Miriam replied between sobs, "Mrs. Larkin stopped by earlier. I don't know what she told him. When I returned to the room after that, he was foaming at the lips. He was also deathly pale. It seems he can't hold on much longer."Warren immediately hung up the phone. His icy hand gripped Evelyn's.He suddenly had a bad feeling.Evelyn knew that something had happened when he started to drag her along. She immediately asked, "What happened? Is it about Great-grandpa?"Warren's gaze reflected his worry. He looked at her and promised, "Evie, you must trust me, no matter what. Okay?"Evelyn's eyes instantly became watery with tears. She demanded, "Exactly what happened?""Great-grandpa is in trouble. Let's hurry home."He held Evelyn's hand and ran toward the car as he called the ambulance.…The ambulance had already arrived by the time Warren and Evelyn got home.The doctor shook his head sadly and said,

Janine pointed her finger at Evelyn, who was on her knees and mourning. The former scolded, "I told them you bring bad luck just like your mother. You insisted on taking him to the hospital, and now look at what happened. He died!""We were counting on his salary to make ends meet.""I bet she killed him to take his treasure for herself.""He had so many heirs. There's no way he gave her everything, especially when she's nothing but a liability. Let's sell that treasure and divide the profit among ourselves.""Yes! We'll sell it and divide the money."The funeral instantly became a battle for inheritance.Evelyn kept her head down the entire time and never said a word. All she could think about was how happy Gary looked wearing that red outfit.She truly blamed herself for what happened. If she hadn't taken Gary away, there was a chance that he'd still be alive.The dissing and scolding from Evelyn's relatives had engulfed her.Just then, Warren made his way over. He fished

Iris looked a little apologetic when she looked at Evelyn. The former said, "If you insist on blaming me, then I'd say that the only mistake I made was accidentally revealing the fact that you can't have kids. I've already told him that the Larkin family doesn't care about it, though."I told him all that matters was that Warren loves you. I never said a word about anything else."Hearing those words made Bonnie so angry that she slammed her palm onto the coffee table."Gary was already sick! It's obvious you deliberately told him all that to make things worse for him. Iris, you are the reason this happened. If you don't give Evelyn a justified compensation, I will not forgive you!"Chester, she's your wife, so you decide how you want to deal with this."Chester had an icy expression on his face. He knew exactly what was Iris' intention for doing all that.He shifted his gaze to Evelyn. When he spoke, his tone was a little apologetic."Evie, your great-grandfather passed away be

Evelyn didn't want to roll the dice on her family's life.She wanted to hug Warren so badly, but all she could do was keep her arms to herself and clench her fists helplessly.Her voice was raspy with helplessness. She said, "Warren, let's take some time to cool off. My dad isn't feeling well, and I want to go see how he is."Warren ignored everything and kissed her on her forehead. His voice was deep when he offered, "Let me drive you."After saying that, he held Evelyn's hand. He was about to leave when he caught sight of Iris.His gaze, which was brimming with love just seconds ago, carried no warmth when he looked at her."Evelyn and I will never be apart. If you keep trying to stop us, I will disown you!"Watching the two of them leave, Bonnie couldn't help but sigh exasperatedly."How did such a happy occasion become such a horrible one? What has our family done to deserve this?"Chester immediately went to Bonnie and said some comforting words. He promised, "Don't worry

Worried, Warren followed closely behind Evelyn. As he gently stroked Evelyn's back, he asked, "What's wrong? Have the past few days worn you out? You haven't been eating right, either. How about we go to the hospital?"Evelyn leaned against the toilet. She retched a few times but didn't throw up.Her eyes turned bloodshot from the ordeal.She shook her head gently and replied, "I'm fine. I just need to take some antacids."Still worried, Warren kept his eyes on her. His palm gently touched her forehead."I'll call the doctor over. I'm worried about you being in this state.""It's fine," insisted Evelyn. "I used to always have intestinal issues, remember? All I need is to have some warm soup, and I'll be fine."Simon heard the commotion and hurried to the toilet as well."Evie, why are you throwing up? Are you…?"Simon was going to ask if Evelyn was pregnant, but he swallowed his words just before they left his lips.He was aware of his daughter's physical well-being. She like

Evelyn immediately flipped the calendar to the previous month.There, on November 13th, was a circle she had drawn with a red pen.Evelyn's period had never been on time, so she often forgot about it.That was why she later developed a habit of marking her calendar every month. That habit remained throughout all those years.Suddenly, a thought flooded her mind like a tsunami.Her period was 20 days late.That had never happened before.She had always had her period early—not the other way around.Evelyn recalled how she had retched earlier. Revisiting the memory weakened her legs, and she fell onto the couch.Just then, Jazzie's call came in.Evelyn panicked but still picked up the call.Her voice trembled with disbelief when she said, "Jazzie."Hearing her tone and knowing that something was off, Jazzie immediately comforted, "Don't be sad, Evie. If you're too sad, your great-grandpa will worry and won't be able to rest in heaven."Silence lingered for a few seconds befo

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,
