Chet continued, "However, you continued to harm Evie over and over again. You made her narrowly escape death several times. At first, my heart ached when you went to prison. I thought that if you could repent, I would treat you well again once you're released."However, you recklessly attempted suicide to get out of prison. Then, you tried to burn Evie to death."Clara, it was at that moment that I was utterly disappointed in you as my sister. It's not that I didn't want to save you, but you had dug your own grave. You have no one else to blame."When Clara heard those words, she burst into bitter tears.She had thought that Chet had long abandoned and stopped caring about her. Even though he had given her a second chance, she hadn't taken it.Knowing that she couldn't go back on this path, she bawled loudly.Chet took a tissue and helped her wipe away her tears. His voice was devoid of any emotion as he said, "When I found out that Iris is your mother, our relationship as siblin
When Chet heard that, his heart stopped. He immediately fished out his cigarettes from his pocket and lit one, taking a few deep hits.Then, he continued, "But Evie loves Warren dearly, and he is the father of her child. They have gone through so many ups and downs; it wasn't easy for them to finally reach this point. If Evie knew the truth, even if she chose to let go of her mother's grievance, she would definitely live the rest of her life while harboring guilt. I don't want her to suffer.""So, are you planning to hide the truth?""If possible, I don't want her to ever find out."Chet regarded Dennis with teary eyes.This was the best solution he could think of. Because of this car accident, his sister ended up living in poverty for many years. Even though Simon had loved her tenderly, she had grown up without maternal love. Furthermore, Xena had left a huge impact on her.After everything, she finally experienced her mother's love and her family's care. He didn't want her to
The diary ended there.Evelyn looked at the date of the last diary entry. It was the day of her mother's accident.Her mother had been so excited for her birth, but in the end, she passed before she could even give birth.Now that Evelyn was pregnant, she could understand her mother's emotions at the time.With these thoughts in her head, Evelyn's heart seized painfully. She couldn't stop the tears from streaming down her cheeks.When Warren walked in, he happened to see her crying. He immediately approached her and hugged her from behind. "Do you miss your mother?" he asked lowly.Evelyn sniffled. "This is the first time I felt maternal love. My mother loved me so much and did so much for me, so why did God want to take her life? Why did He separate us? I hate the person who killed my mother so much. If I ever find out who it is, I will never forgive them."Warren's heart sank when he heard that. He hugged her even tighter.Although there still wasn't any evidence that Iris ha
As Simon and Chester came down the mountain, they felt as though there was a huge boulder weighing on their chests.Although not everyone believed in superstition, hearing bad news would definitely dampen one's mood.From today, there were less than 20 days until the 8th of next month.They had to ensure that Warren and Evelyn didn't encounter any dangers within the upcoming 20 days and that their wedding would proceed without a hitch.The two of them returned to their homes and began to make arrangements.Two days later, Evelyn went home.The next day, the Larkins went to the Jefferson residence with wedding gifts.To ensure the safety of the wedding, they decided to hold it at the Larkin Manor. They also chose to only invite their closest friends and family.The wedding preparations were now in motion.Every day, Evelyn either spent her time receiving gifts or trying on gowns. She was simply basking in happiness.According to local customs, the bride and groom weren't allow
Evelyn laughed. She sniffed and said, "Am I? My husband's words are sweet. They aren't gross at all. Not to mention, we kissed when we said goodbye yesterday. Even if I swallowed any of his words then, they should be gone by now."Jazzie stamped her foot when she heard this. "Ah, Warren, you asshole, you've taught my innocent and cute Evie bad things!"While the two of them bickered in the room, Evelyn's phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was Warren's number, she answered right away. Her voice was still tinged with joy as she said, "Hubby, someone's talking about you behind your back."Seeing the big grin on Evelyn's face, Warren also smiled. "Why are you so cheerful? Are you with Jazzie?"Evelyn widened her eyes. "How did you know?" she asked."Besides her, no one would dare talk about me behind my back."Jazzie leaned over. She looked at Warren on the screen and said huffily, "Warren, give me the old Evie back. You taught her your bad habits."Warren raised an eyebrow disappr
Evelyn sat up in bed. Her eyes were still closed as she mumbled, "Why are you waking me up so early? I haven't gotten enough sleep."Simon patted his daughter's head affectionately, laughing. "Your groom is coming at 9:00 am, and you still need to eat and do your makeup. I'm afraid that you won't have enough time."Evelyn blearily got out of bed and went to the bathroom.When she got out, she saw a little head peeking in from the door.Albert was dressed in a white suit and a black bowtie. His big curls were styled up, making him look so handsome.He looked around the room curiously and saw Evelyn leave the bathroom. He immediately ran over and looked up at her. "Aunt Evelyn, do I look handsome today?"Evelyn crouched and looked him up and down. Smiling, she nodded. "Albert, you're the most handsome boy here today.""Between me and Uncle Warren, who is more handsome?""Of course it's you. Uncle Warren is too old and not as cute as you are." Evelyn pinched Albert's chubby cheeks
"You really deserve a beating today, punk."While Ethan and William bickered, Ezra's voice suddenly sounded from outside. "Are you two done yet? Today's Warren's big day. Neither of you is allowed to say stupid things."They chatted and laughed until the time came for them to leave.In the car, Ethan sent Jazzie a text. "The world's most handsome groom and his groomsmen are on the way. Wait for us to arrive."Jazzie quickly sent him a voice message. "Alright, just you wait!"When William heard this, he snorted coldly. "I heard she wanted to make this wedding more fun, so she searched the Internet for challenges so Warren could prove himself as a worthy husband. Today, we have to give it everything we got."Ethan said disapprovingly, "What do we have to be afraid of? Whatever comes, we'll know how to deal with it. Just watch me."As their car turned into the road where the Jefferson residence was, they saw four men wearing suits standing side-by-side.All of them were smirking m
When another one of Evelyn's cousins, Darren Miles, heard that Albert was going to spill the secret, he immediately ran over and carried him away.He spanked Albert and said, "You little traitor, if you let the cat out of the bag, all of our efforts will be in vain.""I wasn't going to. I was just going to tell Uncle Warren that Aunt Evelyn looks beautiful today," Albert said seriously.Upon hearing this, Warren smiled in delight. "My bride is the prettiest woman in the world."Seeing how happy Warren was, Chet walked over in his suit. He was wearing a devilish smile. "You seem smug now, but you'll be crying tomorrow. There are four lip prints here. Guess which one is Evie's? If you get it right, I'll let you go upstairs. If you get it wrong, you'll have to dance."Ethan was the first one to raise his hand. "Dancing is easy. As someone who is always at bars, this isn't difficult for me."Ezra waved his fist at him. "Don't say that. Chet's on the bride's side right now. Do you thi
