Evelyn's tears slid down her cheeks. She couldn't resist his deep and devoted love.Her determination to leave Warren dissolved. She looked up at him and said sweetly, "Warren, promise me you'll always protect our child, no matter what."Warren lowered his head and kissed away the tears from her eyes. "I promise, after this is over, we'll disappear to a place no one can find. Just us three. I'll handle everything for you. I'll even join you in prenatal yoga and wait together for our child."Evelyn was moved and filled with longing. It was a scene she had longed for—to raise their child together.Her tense heart finally relaxed, and a smile graced her lips."Warren," she softly called out.Warren looked down at her. "Yes, Mrs. Larkin?"Evelyn hugged his neck and softly kissed his lips. "I think I'm falling even more in love with you.""You only think so?" Warren teased. "Mrs. Larkin, shouldn't you be absolutely certain that you love me the most?"With that, his warm lips kiss
Hearing this, Evelyn turned back to look at him and said fearlessly, "We'll see, Mr. Sullivan!"With that, she turned and went upstairs.Johnny bit his lip in anger. He was about to speak when he heard Warren's low laugh."Sorry, Uncle Johnny, I've spoiled Evie, so she might seem disrespectful. But I think she's right, you don't have the ability to do so."Warren leaned against the door, his hands in his coat pockets. A mysterious smile played on his lips.However, his eyes carried a dangerous warning, threatening Johnny in case he dared to approach Evelyn.Johnny clenched his fists in anger but didn't dare say anything more.Instead, he looked at Warren and asked, "Didn't she dump you? Why are you still defending her? Don't forget, your mother was severely punished because of her."Warren's eyes were cold as he said, "Uncle Johnny, you should know what to do. I won't forgive anyone who hurts Evelyn, even if it's my own mother.""Warren, it seems Evelyn has bewitched you, turn
Evelyn was set to appear in court as Jazzie's defense lawyer.When she woke up in the morning, she gently touched her belly and happily admired herself in the mirror.She whispered, "My precious baby, once Mom finishes this case, we will leave this place with Dad. I'm quite looking forward to it."The thought of soon being able to register her marriage with Warren and living happily together as a family of three filled Evelyn's heart with excitement.Suddenly, she received a call from Warren.His deep and hoarse voice which was filled with allure came through the phone."Mrs. Larkin, are you ready to elope with me and bear our child?"Evelyn smiled and replied, "I'm ready. I'll follow your arrangement, Mr. Larkin."Warren couldn't hide his happiness. "Mrs. Larkin, you're so obedient. I'll reward you properly when we meet," he said.He deliberately emphasized the word "reward" with a suggestive tone, making Evelyn's ears tingle.She replied softly, "I have a court session late
Evelyn's heart skipped a beat.She immediately asked, "What happened?"Kayla replied, "Mrs. Jefferson Senior said something to Mr. Jefferson and caused his heart condition to relapse. He's now under emergency treatment in the hospital. The doctor has informed us about his critical condition."Upon hearing this, Evelyn's hands started to tremble.Her voice also quivered as she said, "Wait for me. I'll be there right away."Just as she was about to get up, she saw the opposing lawyer approaching her."Ms. Jefferson, my client has calmed down. We can start now."Evelyn looked at Clara, who had been acting crazy just moments earlier. She was staring at her calmly now.The latter's expression carried a smug look.Evelyn instantly understood what was going on.She gritted her teeth bitterly. "I have an emergency. I have to request a temporary adjournment and postponement of the trial," she said. The opposing lawyer frowned slightly and said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Jefferson, my client i
At such a critical moment, Warren couldn't stay any longer. After giving a few brief instructions, he left in a hurry. He headed straight to the hospital. Seeing that Evelyn hadn't backed down, the smug look on Clara's face was replaced with a hint of panic. Her cold eyes glared viciously at Evelyn. She couldn't believe that Evelyn would still have the presence of mind to win this lawsuit while Simon was gravely ill.Evelyn wiped away her tears and took a long, deep breath. She forced herself to calm down as quickly as possible. Jazzie handed her a cup of water with pity, comforting her. "Evie, don't worry. Mr. Jefferson will be alright." Evelyn gave a slight nod.The trial continued. While everyone expected Evelyn to make a mistake, she fought like a rabid dog. With each battle, she grew more ferocious.Her sharp and precise words left the opposing lawyer speechless multiple times. She not only proved Clara guilty of tampering with her brakes but also of instigating fans
By the time Evelyn arrived at the hospital, Simon had already been transferred to the ICU. She saw Simon hooked up to a ventilator and several monitoring devices. Evelyn slowly walked to the bedside and took his hand. Her tears fell one by one onto the back of his hand.Warren immediately put his arm around her shoulders to comfort her. "Evie, don't be sad. Dad had a severe shock, and it caused his heart condition to relapse. He needs another valve replacement surgery."Evelyn looked at Warren with teary eyes. "But his condition is special. No experts in the country dare to perform this surgery."Warren felt a little distressed for her as he wiped her tears. "Don't cry. If you are too upset, the baby might be affected. I'm here, and I won't let your Dad leave you. "I've already contacted Dr. Elwood. He can perform the surgery, but he's currently in Zyldrica, where there's been a war. I need to bring him back personally." Hearing this, Evelyn looked at him with some concern. "I
Thinking about all this, Chet couldn't help but sigh. It seemed getting Evelyn to acknowledge her biological roots wouldn't be easy. Moreover, her scumbag father, Johnny, had harmed her for Clara's sake. Evelyn would likely refuse to reconcile even if she learned the truth. At that moment, Chet received a call from his father. He answered, annoyed.Johnny's hoarse, sorrowful voice came through at once. "Chet, Clara got sentenced to ten years. She has to stay in prison for ten years. By the time she gets out, she'll be ruined. You need to find a way to get her out now. After all, she's your half-sister."Johnny tried to make him feel guilty. Chet let out a cold laugh. "So, to get Clara off the hook, you had someone harm Simon?"There was a moment of silence before Johnny replied, "It's Evelyn's fault. She brought this upon herself. You didn't see how ruthless that girl was. She refused to give up prosecuting this case, even when her father was critically ill. "If she had drop
This wasn't the first time Evelyn had heard something like this.During Bonnie's birthday party, Sally had said something similar too.Evelyn didn't bat an eye. Instead, she just flashed a smile and quipped, "Well, if that's your line of thought, then Clara and I must be kin too, given our resemblance, huh? But I reckon it's more a shared resentment than anything else."Seeing that Evelyn wasn't buying it, Chet let out a bitter laugh."Evelyn, please don't lump me in with Clara, alright? I've got a score to settle with her. Her mother killed my mom and made my sister disappear. I will never be on her team."In a bid to earn Evelyn's trust, Chet laid bare the grim details of his mother's death and the heart-wrenching story of his sister's disappearance.Evelyn glimpsed the raw pain of losing a parent in his eyes and sensed his yearning for his lost sister.It stirred something deep within her. She even felt a sense of empathy.As Chet's story unfolded, Evelyn felt her hardened d
