"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
"You wouldn't die," agreed Ethan. "But what about the little one?"He was reluctant to accept that reality, but if things were true, then he didn't want Jazzie to hurt herself even more.It was only at that moment that Jazzie figured out what was going on.She thought about how Ethan believed that she was pregnant and was worried that she'd have a miscarriage if she fell.Those thoughts made Jazzie so angry that she wanted to beat him up.She assumed he had always seen her as a loose woman.That prompted her to grit her teeth and reply, "The kid's not yours, so what are you so worried about, anyway?"After saying that, she pushed Ethan aside and made her way back to the production set. She prepared to shoot the scene again.Ethan was so angry that he clenched his fists.He thought Jazzie was a heartless idiot who took his kindness and treated it like trash.Despite cursing internally, he handed the dinner he brought with him to Jazzie's assistant and left.…Soon, Christmas
When Evelyn opened her eyes again, the sky had already turned dark.She recalled smelling Warren's scent while being in a daze, and she thought she heard his voice.She even dreamed about kissing him.Evelyn wondered just how much she missed the guy to have a dream like that.The sound of fireworks going off came from outside the window. Up in the sky, the night was painted with colorful sparks.It was looking more and more festive.As such, her longing for Warren had deepened as well. It was so bad that she felt her heart sting.She couldn't help putting both hands on her womb and talking to the baby in her mind."Baby, let's celebrate Christmas with your dad after you are safely born, okay?"When Warren made his way over, he saw Evelyn's groggy eyes wet with tears.More and more tears gathered until they became droplets that rolled down her cheeks.Warren slowly crouched down. His icy finger gently wiped those tears away.His voice brimmed with heartache as he spoke."Wh
"So what if you assigned a bodyguard to me? I was still drugged. Warren, I'm not an unreasonable person, but all these dangerous incidents have really gotten to me."The danger will still be there so long as I am with you. The only thing I can do to protect my family and myself is to break up with you."So please, leave me alone, okay?"Evelyn's eyes were red with tears toward the end, and her voice had become thick.She had made the tough call to break up with him. She didn't even tell him that she was pregnant, and there was no way she could let all her previous efforts be for naught.Evelyn was fine with getting hurt, but she couldn't help worrying about the baby.She thought about how tiny the baby was and how there was no way it could endure any harm.Even the slightest harm could cause the baby its life.Hence, Evelyn didn't have the guts to roll the dice.Seeing how terrified she was got Warren so heartbroken that he caressed her head.His voice became slightly deeper
The booming sound of the fireworks was loud, but Evelyn could hear every single word from Warren's lips clearly.His warm tongue ambushed and pried open her mouth.The soft kiss carried a hint of alcohol.There was a moment when her mind was completely blank, and her heart stopped beating.She'd admit that she loved that kiss and missed Warren dearly.There was even an impulse within her that wanted her to kiss him back.Unfortunately, her mind cleared up soon after.She pushed him away in one swift move.Her clear eyes looked even more beautiful under the night sky filled with fireworks. They were like the stars illuminating the sky.Warren realized she was about to lose her temper. He immediately retrieved an exquisite necklace with a beautiful cross pendant from his pocket and put it around her neck.His voice was deep when he said, "Evie, I got this handmade cross from the famous priest, Gregory Hills. It'll keep you safe. This is my Christmas gift to you. You are not all
