It was a very familiar sight, seemingly to be someone Everly knew a long time ago. She could feel that the person was someone very important to her.Everly wanted to open her eyes, but she could not do it no matter how hard she tried.She could only feel him staring at her the entire time. Finally, he reached his hand out and stroked her head gently."Eve..." he said.Everly was inexplicably anxious. She opened her eyes at the last moment.Dreams and reality were indistinguishable at the moment. Everly started seeing images and hearing all those sounds from her past as if she had traveled back in time."...I will protect you forever."On that day, the afternoon sunlight gleamed on the side of his face through the window, enveloping him in an extraordinarily gentle atmosphere. He looked tender despite being in his usual cold appearance. His eyes were full of sympathy as he looked at Everly as if she was the only one in his world.…Everly woke up in the office and suddenly sat
Everly clenched the sign in her hand as she walked into the cemetery.Following Alice's instructions, she followed the trail inside and arrived at a hut."What are you doing!" exclaimed the security guard with his baton pointed at Everly. He was about to doze off on duty but got up immediately when he heard some sound of movements approaching. Everly stood still and handed him the sign."Someone had told me that you'll show me something if I give you this," she said.The security guard glanced at the sign. He was puzzled at first, but then he seemed to have remembered something. He took the sign and said, "Wait here, I'm gonna make a call,""Okay," Everly responded.The security guard walked over to the phone and started dialing while Everly stood there, looking around as she waited.The hut had a vast view of the entire cemetery. Even the slightest movement around the area could be detected if scrutinized properly."Okay, come with me," said the security guard. Everly enter
The security guard was still chattering as if it was a rare moment for him to have a conversation with someone. He did not care if anyone was listening. He just kept going on and on.Everly continued clicking silently, going through the videos one by one.Ever since Everly's funeral, Carson had visited her grave often. He would stay there for a long time, even almost the entire night, regardless of the weather.Over the surveillance footage, Carson seemed to be getting thinner as time went by.The dates and events of the videos were constantly changing. Everly noticed there was a long time interval between two of them."... Ah, this one. Mr. Baxter used to come here often, but he suddenly stopped coming for a while. I felt strange about it, I also heard that he was sick…" said the guard.Everly stopped clicking and paused for a moment.Buzz...The phone in the bag vibrated frantically, seemingly startled Everly in the process.She immediately lowered her head and took out the
The surveillance videos in the security hut were planted by Lisa a few days before. Everything that happened was all pre-planned for this very day.The phone call that the security guard made previously was also to Lisa's subordinates, she knew everything behind the scenes."So you're saying that Violet will back off after this?" asked Alice, sounding worried."Alice, you have seen those surveillance videos as well. Do you still remember how you felt after watching them?" Lisa asked.Alice was silent.Back when she was pulled into Lisa's car just a day ago, Lisa had shown her all the videos. Alice knew that Carson had loved Everly, but she did not expect him to go that far for her. At that moment, Alice almost wanted to give up, thinking that she could never replace the woman who was lying six feet under her grave.However, Alice was persuaded by Lisa.Everly was already dead, and Carson would never stay single for the rest of his life. As long Violet is gone, everything will be
"Everly?" Annie looked at Everly as she stopped her from taking the box."Please leave the room," said Everly calmly to Annie, not looking at her. The light of the setting sun hit on Everly’s complexion. Her long eyelashes cast a shadow on her eyes, making it difficult to see her expressions.Annie did not understand Everly's mood at the moment, but she respected her thoughts nonetheless and nodded. "Okay."Annie closed the door as she left, leaving Everly alone in her office.She looked at the box, hesitated for a while, and finally reached out and opened it.Everly untied the ribbon bow on and opened the lid of the box. The next moment, a small cake appeared in front of her eyes.Everly startled a little when she saw the cake,This cake…Memories came rushing back to her. There was no wind in the office, but her mind was blown away.Years ago, she finally made up her mind. After a long time, she decided to make the first move."Who said that a woman is worthless in her own
"As I've said, Mister Baxter. Violet doesn't want to see you. You don't have to be so pushy about this. Violet's not gonna like it!" Annie's angry voice could be heard from afar.It was the hour when everyone started to get off work. People were going about in the corridor area. A crowd was formed at the entrance of Violet's studio as the commotion went on."What do you think Mister Baxter is up to? Is this what I think it is?""What other reasons would a man do such a thing for?""But then, didn't everyone say that Mister Baxter likes Alice Davidson? What's going on now?""I'm not sure, but I know that Violet is inside. We'll find out very soon!"Many people were whispering among themselves. As they saw Everly approaching, they quickly stopped.Everly had overheard them. Feeling confused, she hastened her footsteps and arrived at the entrance of Violet's studio."Violet!""Violet's here!"The crowd automatically made way for her as she passed them.Everly stopped walking ha
"Gasp…"Everyone around took a deep breath.Although no one had dared to take any pictures, the news spread around like wildfire as the situation unfolded.What a huge gossip!Carson Baxter had actually dressed up and waited outside Violet's studio with a large bouquet of flowers in his arms. More importantly, he just told Violet that he was wooing her!"For so many years, other women had been pursuing Mister Baxter. Even if he ends up with them, it won't last long. Even the one in his first relationship did not get such treatment from him. He had never told anyone any intentions of pursuing a relationship before. But…""Mister Baxter actually said that to Violet today!""My goodness! What happened here!"The crowd could not control themselves, and everyone started talking excitedly.Everly, who was at the center of the discussion, was visibly stunned.She never expected Carson actually to do such a thing in public!"Mister Baxter, what is the meaning of this?" asked Everly.
"Watch what you're saying!" Annie shouted at Alice as she stood up, "It was Carson who came to us himself and confessed to Violet. She had done nothing. Who are you calling a bitch!"Alice was in a fit of rage. She immediately scolded back, "Violet is a bitch! Everyone could see what she was up to. I'm saying again. Violet is a bitch!""You!" Annie walked towards Alice. The two seemed to be about to get into a fistfight. Robbie quickly dragged Alice away outside, and Annie followed them behind. Alice's scream echoed in the entire corridor. Everyone was stunned as they watched the scene unfold. They exchanged glances with each other and looked back at Carson and Violet, who were still in the center.Everly raised her head and stared at Carson. He did not urge her for an immediate answer, but his thoughts were clearly shown in all his actions.He wanted Everly to give him an answer.Everly looked into Carson's dark eyes, and the images of him in the cemetery started flashing over
