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
That question made Jazzie so angry that she wanted to kick him.She thought about her virginity, and how Ethan was essentially insulting her.Jazzie wanted to shout at the guy right then and there, but she later recalled what Evelyn requested.The latter didn't want anyone to know about it.Jazzie suppressed her emotions and glared at Ethan before she said, "Is that any of your concerns? What are you? God's supervisor? Is it your job to record who the father of my unborn child is?"Hearing that response caused Ethan's anger to rise.He pinched Jazzie's chin as his gaze glowed with immense fury."Jazzie Hoffman, you can't learn anything good but are so quick to pick up that slutty shit. You've already mastered sleeping around. Are you going to have an illegitimate child as well?"Jazzie was furious upon hearing his words.She lifted her leg and landed a kick on Ethan's sensitive parts. Through gritted teeth, she replied, "Who I sleep with and who I have a child with is none of
"Iris doesn't want me to be with Warren. She won't come after me again if I stay away from him," said Evelyn.Hearing that made Jazzie so angry that she cussed aloud."Why didn't that car accident kill that bitch? I've seen lots of TV shows, and none of the evil mother-in-laws on-screen are as vicious as that woman."Evie, breaking up is nothing. You still have me. I will help you raise the kid. Men nowadays are utterly unreliable, so we'll rely on ourselves."Evelyn couldn't describe what she was feeling at that moment.If Warren were to know that she was pregnant with their child, he would likely be over the moon.However, Evelyn knew things well in her heart. If Iris were to find out about the pregnancy, neither Evelyn nor the baby would be safe.Evelyn calmed herself down and instructed, "Jazzie, you are not allowed to tell anyone about this, okay?"Jazzie immediately understood what Evelyn was saying. The former pointed out, "Even if I keep this a secret, you still won't b
Evelyn turned around and saw Clara staring at her stomach.The latter's gaze was filled with obvious evil intent.Evelyn remained calm. She didn't even show a hint of panic.She arched her brows and put a smile on her lips. After that, she said, "Don't worry. If I really am pregnant, you will be the first to know. That will kill all your hopes. After all, that is the best way to hurt you."Clara gritted her teeth angrily and replied, "What are you so happy about, Evelyn? Don't forget that you and Warren are broken up. I just hope you actually keep your word instead of shamelessly crawling back to him."You are the reason Mrs. Larkin was whipped 100 times. She will not let you off the hook if you dare return."Evelyn scoffed and replied, "Even if I never go back to him, what are the chances that Warren would want you? He won't even wear clothes that others have touched. Do you think he'd be with someone that others have slept with?"Those words were like daggers. Each stabbed Cla
The subject prompted Tammy to shift her gaze to Evelyn's belly. She lowered her voice and asked, "You're wearing a really loose outfit. Is there any news on that front?"Evelyn's eyes became watery. Her lips curved into a small grin before she nodded slightly.Tammy was so excited that her jaw dropped. She asked, "Really? Does Mr. Larkin know?""I haven't told him yet.""Are you going to tell him or not? Are you really going to leave him? You don't know this, but Ezra didn't come home the night you broke up with Warren."He told me that he had never seen Warren that sad or drink that much before."Hearing those words made Evelyn's eyes watery. She felt as though something had stabbed her heart.There was no way she didn't know how sad Warren was.He would go to her place and wait outside her house every night after he clocked off.Sometimes, he would go into the house and chat with Simon, then check up on her. If he ended up being there until late at night, he'd just stand out
"Why are you getting books about pregnancy?"Warren felt his heart skip a beat for a moment.His arms tightened around Remy as he spoke. An intrusive thought barged into his mind.He grabbed Evelyn, and his gaze burned with love when he looked at her. He demanded, "Evie, are you hiding something from me? Why are you getting those books? Are you pregnant?"His questions were like bullets from a machine gun. They fired rapidly at Evelyn.It made her feel a little nervous.She took a step back and said a little angrily, "Warren, what are you doing? How could I possibly be pregnant?""Then why are you getting these books?"Warren kept his gaze fixed on Evelyn's face. He was examining the tiniest shift in her expression and was terrified that he would miss something important.Just then, Evelyn's phone suddenly rang.She immediately picked it up.Ethan's deep voice came from the other end of the line."Evelyn, who's the father of Jazzie's baby?"Evelyn frowned a little before s
