Evelyn's face turned red again.She wasn't entirely inexperienced when it came to spending time alone with men. Back then, she and Jeremy used to…The moment the name Jeremy crossed her mind, her heart ached, and she froze momentarily.It was Jeremy's furious expression that emerged in her thoughts. Anger had driven him to lose his composure, turning him into a hysterical version of himself. It was him, red-eyed and bellowing, "Evelyn, I never thought you were such a shameless woman!"Tell me! How many men have you slept with?"After that, he drew close. He tore apart her flimsy attire roughly as he screamed, "You've slept with so many men! Why didn't you let me touch you?"It was he who had covered her with lips angrily and bit down on her collarbone and shoulders almost frantically.And it was he who, in disdain, pushed her away once more.Yes, he considered her tainted after a video of her going to a hotel with another man went public.Evelyn had nothing to explain. H
Perhaps it was because there was such an equally outstanding man with her tonight that it made her constantly think of another man who had once been very important in her life.Dinner was quickly consumed. After Evelyn cleaned up the dishes and put away the utensils, she saw that he was already getting up from the sofa with his car keys and phone. He appeared to be ready to leave.Evelyn stood there without moving or saying anything. She didn't know what to say. She certainly couldn't tell him to leave.He didn't say much either. He simply took his belongings and walked straight to the door. Out of politeness, Evelyn walked over to see him off. After he put on his shoes and stepped out of the door, she awkwardly said, "Goodbye."He looked at her, his gaze pausing on her face for a moment. In the end, he didn't say anything and turned to close the door as he left calmly.Evelyn leaned against the door and let out a long sigh.What a chaotic night it had been.Just as she wa
"You’re truly my best friend," Evelyn joked with Selena, then smiled wryly."With my reputation, which man would dare to have me? Not to mention love at first sight."That incident from two years ago had already tarnished her reputation in Detroit, making her wonder if any man would want her.Selena wasn't bothered by it. "Maybe he doesn't know about your past.""There are no secrets in this world. Even if he doesn't know now, he'll find out sooner or later."Evelyn didn't finish her thought. In reality, she wanted to say that once he knew about her past, he would probably abandon her. It was a common male instinct, and Evelyn understood that.So, she had no great expectations for men or love. She even resisted the idea somewhat because once she got involved with a man, it would inevitably lead to the events of two years ago, which she didn't want to remember or discuss.Therefore, it was better to have neither—no love, no man. Then, she wouldn't have to revisit those painful
She thought of the scene where she and Helena have been dependent on each other for so many years after the divorce. Someone once said that the most touching word in the world was ‘mother’. Evelyn felt the complete warmth of this word from Helena. Evelyn felt really desperate now that Helena’s life and death was uncertain in the operating room.She was heartbroken as she sat there, and her sleeves were soon wet with tears. It was very quiet outside the operating room, and no one came. She hugged herself as she sat in the corner. She did not know how long had passed when there was suddenly the sound of footsteps coming from the silent corridor in front of the operating room.Every step sounded calm, powerful, and steady. When she heard the footsteps, she could instantly tell that these were the footsteps of a mature and steady man. Evelyn did not look up. If anyone was coming, it would only be Selena. It was impossible for any man to come here, so this man might have come to t
Natalie had told Jeremy that Evelyn was good at pretending to be innocent in front of him, and that she was deliberately playing with his feelings because he loved her, but she was in fact very casual with other men behind his back. Jeremy did not want to believe that Evelyn was such a person, but the truth was cruel. Evelyn was impatiently grabbing the man’s neck and kissing him in the video.Evelyn had a calm expression when faced with Jeremy’s concern as she said, “This doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you, does it?”These words pushed back Jeremy’s concern mercilessly. Jeremy was suddenly a little embarrassed, especially when she was saying these words to her in front of an unidentified man. Jeremy was instantly put on the spot. Before he could react, Natalie walked out of the corridor around the corner. She stood next to Jeremy with a mocking smile as she said, “Jeremy, why would Evelyn care for your concern? It’s more than enough for her to have the concern of the gre
In order to get Jeremy back then, she had kicked Evelyn away by ruining her reputation, then she found a way to sleep with Jeremy before forcing him to take responsibility toward her. Jeremy had always rejected Natalie before that, but he stopped rejecting her again after sleeping with her once.Natalie knew that her methods were despicable, but it was because she fancied Jeremy. She knew that the reason Jeremy had stayed with her was probably because he longed for her body, and because her parents were pressuring him. However, his heart still belonged to Evelyn, even though Evelyn’s reputation had been tarnished. Jeremy might have fallen for her scheme in the past, but he was extremely upset at the moment, so he simply pushed her away with a cold expression and said, “I’m exhausted since I just came back from a business trip, so I won’t be going over tonight.”He then walked toward his car.“Jeremy!” Natalie stomped her feet and shouted at him, “I know what you’re thinking ab
Jeremy did not expect that the two women would get into a fight in the blink of an eye, and he quickly stepped forward to pull them apart. Selena saw the perfect opportunity and tried to slap Jeremy. She was enraged and figured she would deal with the scumbag as well. However, Jeremy instinctively tilted his head, causing Selena to miss him. However, Jeremy still felt a burning sensation on his face as there was a bloody mark on his face left by the tip of Selena’s fingernail. Jeremy raised his hand and wiped his face. There was blood oozing out. He yelled at Selena angrily, “Selena, have you lost your mind?”Selena ignored Jeremy and continued fighting with Natalie. Natalie was usually dressed in a ladylike manner, with high heels and a dress, so she had to be careful even when walking, but Selena was different. She was wearing jeans and boots, so she was very comfortable in her outfit. Moreover, Selena had a wild temperament, so Natalie was naturally no match for her. As Selena
His brows furrowed slightly, and there seemed to be a hint of displeasure in his expression. Rowan’s displeasure came from the fact that this woman really did not seem to remember him.The feeling of being forgotten did not feel very good. Rowan had initially thought of telling Evelyn his identity after Helena’s surgery was completed successfully today. He would then tell her that he was compensating her in this manner to make up for that night, and that they should stop interacting with each other from now on. Otherwise, he would not have come here today.However, he had suddenly lost the interest to tell her the truth now. He did not know how she would react after she found out. She might even get angry and hit him.Evelyn became even more puzzled as she asked, “Do we know each other?”Rowan did not want to continue talking to her anymore. He snorted bitterly and said, “If you say you don’t know me, then I’ll take it as you don’t.”Evelyn was dumbfounded. Based on what he said
