Didn't Want Me Before, Can't Have Me Now Chapter 425
Chet looked supportive but solemn when he patted Ethan's shoulder. After that, he made his way to Warren.Chet smiled evilly and said, "I can't be the only pitifully single man in the group. I need at least one person to keep me company."Warren grinned and replied, "When he figures things out, he will likely beat you to death.""If he's going to be violent, it will be toward you. You're the one who tricked him first. I simply gave you a hand."The group laughed and chatted away as they moved toward the living room.Seth was the only one who stayed in the same spot.Warren turned to him. In a deep voice, he asked, "Are you waiting for Jennifer?"Seth nodded calmly and replied, "Her arm is hurt, and I worry that she won't be able to take care of Albert."Warren chuckled. He said, "She's going to the hospital today for an ultrasound. After that, she will deal with the baby's legal papers. Didn't she tell you about that?"Seth shook his head numbly and replied, "She didn't."War

Jennifer's face remained expressionless as she looked at Seth. "Where's my mom?" "She had left to attend to some matters, so Evie asked me to pick you up. Albert has already gone with Chet." Seth gently guided Jennifer into the car, then handed her a small box from the back seat. "Your favorite almond cookies. Try them and see if they taste the same." Jennifer stared at the cookies, a faint smile playing on her lips. "Did Albert tell you?" Her words struck a chord deep within Seth. It was indeed Albert who told him that Jennifer's favorite snack was almond cookies, and her favorite dish was pan-seared salmon. He felt a pang of guilt after getting to know that from Albert. Back when they were abroad, Jennifer had once brought home a box of almond cookies for him to try. Without a second thought, he refused it and told her he didn't like the taste of almonds. Hearing his words, Jennifer had tossed the box of cookies into the trash, and they never reappeared in their home

Inhaling the familiar scent on Seth's body, Jennifer shut her eyes helplessly for a moment. During the toughest times of her pregnancy, plagued by morning sickness and the agony of childbirth, she had often yearned to call Seth. But each time she remembered the harsh words he had spoken when they broke up, she forced herself to let go of that longing. Just as Jennifer was about to push Seth away, a Bluetooth call connected to the car speakers. Albert's innocent voice echoed from the other end of the line. "Dad, did you follow my advice to win Mom back? She'll forgive you once she sees the almond cookies!" Seth looked at Jennifer in his arms and chuckled softly. "I'm with her right now. We'll be there to meet you soon, okay?" "Hurray! Dad, remember to give Mom lots of kisses. She loves it when I do that. No matter what I do wrong, one kiss makes it all better. Did you get that?" Seth smiled. "Got it. I'll try that." He then leaned down and kissed Jennifer on the forehead.

Warren couldn't help but clench his fist. He stepped forward, gently pulling Evelyn into his arms, and said with a smile, "Evie is pregnant. It's not ideal for her to be hugging everyone around. Any germs you have might be passed on to her." The Miles uncles raised their fists at Warren in unison. "You little brat! If it weren't for you and Evie being legally married, we'd flatten you right now." "It's just a marriage certificate, and there's no wedding ceremony held. Without our blessing, you can't take Evie away." "Exactly! I think we should reconsider this matter, given he once treated Evie poorly. With her status, Evie could easily marry a prince or a president's son." As the uncles argued, Warren remained calm, his smile unwavering. He gently ruffled Evelyn's hair and spoke warmly, "There's no way around it. Evie and I had an arranged marriage since childhood. Aunt Sonya herself confirmed it. You wouldn't want her spirit to be restless, would you?" His statement left t

Evelyn slowly approached Sonya's portrait, her pale, slender fingers gently caressing Sonya's cheek. In a hoarse voice, she murmured, "Mom, it's me, Evie. You had risked your life to save me. I'm here to see you." Hearing these words, Sally could no longer hold back her tears. They once again streamed down her cheeks. "Sonya, it must be your blessing, helping us to find Evie. Don't worry. We'll take good care of her. Rest in peace." Sally handed Evelyn a small bouquet, her voice choked with emotion. "Evie, place these by Sonya's picture, and ask her to bless you and your child with peace and safety." Evelyn took the bouquet. After kneeling in front of the portrait, she arranged the bouquet in a nearby vase. Then, she brought her hands together in a brief prayer. As she prepared to rise, Warren knelt beside her, his expression solemn as he gazed at Sonya's portrait. "Aunt Sonya, thank you for trusting me and betrothing Evie to me before she was even born. We are now marri

"Warren, just wait. I'll have something for you at tomorrow night's banquet!" The uncles and cousins of the Miles family, who had been waiting outside, surged forward and gathered around Chet. They fixed their curious gazes on Warren. "Chet, don't worry. If Warren plans to marry our little princess, he'll have to pass our test. Tomorrow night, we'll have plenty of drinks ready to get to know this prospective son-in-law." Confronted by the challenge posed by over 20 men, Warren displayed unwavering composure. He had long been prepared to accompany Evelyn to this gathering. He understood that every man in the Miles family cherished their daughters and sisters deeply. The loss of Sonya had left her brothers devastated. Now, upon finding her daughter, they poured years of pent-up affection into Evelyn. During the family reunion, Evelyn met her grandparents and got to know her grandfather's six brothers, ten uncles, and 13 cousins. Though Harry was her only biological uncle, the

Albert ran into the room with an air of confidence, whisking Evelyn along as they hurried outside. To him, Evelyn and Warren were family, while the other uncles were nothing but troublemakers. Evelyn swiftly ended her call and followed Albert into the banquet hall. Upon entering, she spotted several uncles slumped over the table, muttering to themselves. A cluster of cousins surrounded Warren, deeply engrossed in a dice game. Seeing Evelyn approach, Warren, typically the victor, unexpectedly faced defeat by rolling a mere one. The cousins erupted in cheers, egging him on to drink. Without hesitation, Warren grabbed his glass and downed three shots in quick succession. Then, stumbling to his feet, he staggered toward Evelyn, embracing her. With a plaintive tone, he said "Darling, they've teamed up against me. I want to go home." After finishing his words, he buried his head into Evelyn's shoulder, standing utterly still. Chet, somewhat tipsy himself, walked over and nudged Warr

"You cheeky thing, trying to steal my wife while I'm drunk? Not a chance!" With a swift motion, he pulled Evelyn, who was seated on the edge of the bed, into his embrace and lowered his head to kiss her lips. Evelyn immediately thumped his chest, admonishing, "Warren, you're drunk. Don't act silly. Albert is still around." Warren seemed oblivious to Evelyn's words, continuing to lavish Evelyn's face with a cascade of kisses. Albert observed with his eyes wide open. It prompted Evelyn to swiftly instruct, "Albert, go find Mom and Dad and get ready for bed. It's late. Let's play again tomorrow." Albert hesitated, casting reluctant glances back before finally departing. As soon as the door clicked shut behind him, Warren's kisses grew more fervent. His tongue, flavored with the sharp tang of alcohol, unexpectedly intertwined with Evelyn's in a deep kiss. What had started as a simple deep kiss swiftly evolved into a more passionate exchange. Somewhere along the line, Evelyn's

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,
