"Evelyn, how are you? Are you alright?" As soon as Jeffrey was released, he immediately ran to Evelyn. Knitting her brows slightly, she took a step back subconsciously when it came to facing Jeffrey's enthusiasm. In an instant, Jeffrey's hands, which were about were about to reach out to hug her, were left hanging in the air. Looking at him, Evelyn pursed her lips and whispered, "I'm fine. Thank you for your concern." Upon hearing her alienated tone, it made Jeffrey's body stiffen a little. As if realizing something, he slowly put his hands down, and after a moment, he forced a smile. "It's good to know that you're alright. I was just worried about you, so I came over to check on you." Hearing that, Evelyn nodded. Then, they stopped talking. The atmosphere was very awkward. They used to be good friends who talked to each other about everything, but now they had nothing to talk about anymore. Even though she had so ma
The atmosphere in the car fell into silence. And no one spoke again. When the car stopped in front of the Lavender villa, Evelyn was about to ask Marty to get off the car, but she turned her head and realized that Marty's head was leaning against the car window. Somehow, he had already fallen asleep. Slightly stunned and surprised, she looked at the faint dark circles under his eyes, and felt sorry. Meanwhile, the driver didn't know that Marty was asleep, so he wanted to call him, but was stopped by Evelyn. Putting a finger to her lips, she shushed him. Seeing this, the driver quickly covered his mouth. Then, Evelyn shoved a pillow gently under his head, and asked the driver to bring her a clean shirt to put it over his body. After that, she got out of the car and said to the driver, "Let him sleep for a while. Don't disturb him." The driver glanced at Evelyn, then looked at Marty, who fast asleep in the car, and felt helpless.
Pursing her lips, Evelyn comforted. "This has nothing to do with you, mom. There are so many douchebags in this world. We can't expect ourselves to be lucky all the time and not meet any of them, right? Furthermore, now that he has been arrested, it will not happen again. Don't blame yourself any more." Only then did her mother respond with a peace of mind. Then, Evelyn hung up the phone after telling her what she should look out for when signing the divorce agreement. At nine o'clock in the evening, Marty came back. Meanwhile, Evelyn was sending away Carrie, who had come to deliver some things. Before she entered the house, she noticed a familiar car approaching. So she came to a halt and waited for the car to approach her, after which she curled her lips slightly. When Marty got out of the car, Aria was following behind. Besides, Aria brought over a suitcase. Afterward, Marty explained, "I heard from Carrie that she was going to bring
But how could Evelyn be at ease? She had been through so much, and he literally knew everything about her, including her family background and past. Everyone knew about them. Would she really get the love she deserved if she pursued without reservation? Marty's eyes darkened as he noticed her hesitation. Then, he reached out and gently touched her eyes with his finger. "Don't look at me like that, Evelyn. It will break my heart." In the quiet night, his voice was hoarse, with a hint of a wonderful but helpless sigh. It was the first time she had heard him speak in this tone. He had always been high-spirited, but now he held her in his arms and sighed wearily. For some reason, the rims of Evelyn's eyes felt a little sore. She struggled for a moment. Fortunately, Marty did not continue hugging her, so she could finally stand up. Evelyn took a step back and avoided looking at him. She simply lowered her gaze and forced a sm
Evelyn glanced at Charlotte and said coldly, "Mrs. Blaine, long time no see." Before Charlotte came, she only heard that Marty had a girlfriend who was an actress. She had always looked down upon the women in the entertainment circle. In her opinion, the successful women in the entertainment industry were all nasty. In fact, if Marty was only fooling around, she wouldn't interfere. But this morning, she heard that Marty was serious about it! Not only did he do a lot for her, but he also bought her a villa. Apparently, he wanted their relationship to last long. Charlotte couldn't accept the truth. She realized the sense of crisis because Marty, her second son, always had his own thoughts. She didn't care about other things, but she had to be the one to make the decisions when it came to marriage. With these thoughts in mind, she hurried over. However, she did not expect Evelyn to be Marty's girlfriend. Charlotte was obvio
Therefore, Evelyn would not let Charlotte's plan succeed! Not knowing where Evelyn's courage came from, she suddenly reached out and removed the bracelet Charlotte had already put on. Then, under Charlotte's stunned gaze, Evelyn handed her the bracelet back. "Mrs. Blaine, I appreciate your kindness, but unfortunately, I am of lowly status and do not deserve to be your goddaughter. So, please take this bracelet back." Charlotte was stunned. She wasn't the only one stunned. Everyone else was shocked as well. They were all angry at how Charlotte looked down on people. However, it was true that the Blaine family was a top-notch wealthy family. Many women wished to marry into their family! If Evelyn accepted the bracelet now, at least she would be Charlotte's goddaughter, even if she could not be with Marty in the end. Even if the identity had no practical benefits, she would be able to intimidate many people in the future if she mention
Evelyn's pride was so high. It was so high that she refused to give in to anybody, no matter what. Even in the most difficult situation, she would rather grit her teeth and persevere than admit defeat. But now, to be with him, she was willing to set aside her pride and self-esteem and say such things to Charlotte. Marty was greatly moved in his heart. On the other hand, Charlotte was extremely angry. Pointing at them, she was so angry that her whole body was trembling. Then, she said angrily, "Are... are you guys threatening me?" Marty frowned. "Mom, we didn't mean that. You are the one trying to break us up." As he spoke, he muttered again in a low voice. "And what kind of society is it now? Are you still expecting to arrange a marriage for me?" "How dare you!" Seeing that Charlotte was about to pass out from anger, Marty quickly stepped forward to hold her. However, as soon as he touched her, she pushed him
Just as Evelyn was thinking about it, she raised her head and saw Marty walking in while humming. He seemed to be in a good mood and did not seem to be in a poor mood as a result of the fallout with Charlotte. Seeing that, Evelyn quickly stood up and walked over. "How is Mrs. Blaine? Is she still angry?" However, Marty seemed to have thought of something happy when he saw her. He dashed over, picked her up, and spun her around in circles. Evelyn was scared by his actions. She screamed for a while before he finally put her down. She was so scared that her face turned pale. After regaining her senses, she was so angry that she pounded his shoulder with her fist. "What are you doing? You scared me!" Marty smiled and said, "You're scared just like that? I thought you'd have some guts." Evelyn glared at him, and then he stopped smiling. "Evelyn, I have something to discuss with you." Evelyn was taken aback when he unexpectedl
