Regardless of Jeremy's intentions, his irresponsible behavior had genuinely hurt Evelyn in her view. It had added in her another layer of disappointment in him.A man who had lost his grace was not a good sign. Even a woman like Evelyn, who had loved and moved on, could part amicably. So why was Jeremy so persistent in his pursuit?Some might argue that those who can easily let go have never truly loved. However, that wasn't the point Evelyn was trying to make. If it was impossible for the relationship to work, being unable to let go would only amount to self-inflicted suffering.Jeremy's parents were extremely concerned about their reputation and would never accept her being with Jeremy. Furthermore, at this point, Helena had also lost all hope in Jeremy. Evelyn herself felt disappointed.She was well aware that there was no future for her and Jeremy, so she had started letting go from the moment he broke off their engagement two years ago. Two years were enough for he
"I'm not interested in hearing what happened between you and your ex-boyfriend," he coldly interrupted her explanation. He then continued frigidly, "I've already sent you my email."With that, he hung up the phone.Evelyn looked at the phone in her hand, feeling utterly bewildered.Rowan did believe that she had trampled on his goodwill. Knowing her current situation and the need to take care of Helena without getting sick, he had taken her to the hospital and even lent her his jacket. Yet, she still managed to get herself wet. Didn't that mean that he had wasted his time that afternoon?When she explained and he heard Jeremy's name, he became even more irate. He couldn't stand people who couldn't cleanly break up with their exes, especially with her personality—gentle and seemingly indecisive. However, he might not have known that, in this particular case, Evelyn had severed all ties with Jeremy decisively.After hanging up, Rowan took a shower and calmed down.He real
Evelyn was an early riser by habit, especially now with Helena in the hospital. So, she got up early, prepared breakfast, and left the house. It had rained all night yesterday. As she stepped out today, autumn was already in the air.The weather had a touch of chill after an autumn rain, with significant temperature differences between morning and evening. Evelyn had learned her lesson from yesterday. She bundled up in a thick cardigan before going out to prevent herself from freezing again.While she was still on the bus, she received a call from a company asking her to come for an interview at 9:00 AM.The caller mentioned that their company's name was "Creative Sail Designs”. Evelyn furrowed her brows, trying to recall if she had applied to this company. However, upon further thought, she realized that she had sent out so many resumes recently that she might have overlooked this particular one.Regardless, she was currently eager to receive any interview invitations. So, a
What a scumbag!How did he deserve to be a father?!He knew how important Helena was to Evelyn, yet he chose to go and upset Helena while she was still in the process of recovery.Evelyn had sold her house to save Helena from the brink of death, and if Helena's condition deteriorated once again due to Barry's actions...Evelyn felt she might really kill Barry.She stood frozen in place for quite a while, unable to move at all. Her face grew pale from her worry about Helena.She wanted to leave as soon as possible, but her mind was blank with rage. She had no control over her legs.It was a passing employee nearby who noticed her distress and came over to ask in concerned, "Are you okay?"Evelyn then managed to snap out of it and replied, "I'm fine. Thank you."She lowered her head and hurriedly rushed out.She anxiously waited in front of the elevator, repeatedly pressing the down button several times, hoping the elevator would arrive quickly.Evelyn's mind was consumed by w
Right now, his thoughts were centered on Evelyn.He knew she was coming for an interview today, but he didn't expect to run into her like this.When he saw her enter the elevator with red eyes and a dazed expression, it felt like someone had taken a hammer to his heart.He was well aware of the unusual emotion he was experiencing. It was the kind of feeling that arose when someone held special significance to you.Taking a deep drag from his cigarette, Rowan's demeanor seemed even colder and mysterious amidst the swirling smoke.To be honest, Rowan had never imagined that his future would be linked to any woman.His romantic history, while not entirely pristine, wasn't chaotic either.Especially after the events of the past few years, he had come to appreciate the beauty of solitude.He had never thought about having any other thoughts about Evelyn, but it seemed that he had developed impure thoughts already, perhaps from that moment when he had wanted to kiss her.He didn't f
Evelyn nodded silently. When she heard Helena describe the events just now, she had truly lost her composure due to anger.Then, Rowan continued in his cold voice, "Do you still want to go and kill someone?"Evelyn felt embarrassed and remained silent.She glanced awkwardly at him and then turned her gaze to the outside of the car window.His words were somewhat excessive. He seemed to be making a joke at her expense using what she had said in a fit of anger. However, she should be grateful to him for stopping her. Otherwise, she really didn't know what kind of disaster she would have caused.Then, he said bluntly, "You owe me for my suit and shirt. Now, you can get out of the car."Evelyn was speechless once more.He had just stopped her and sheltered her, and now he was ruthlessly telling her to leave, asking her to compensate for his expensive suit and shirt.His suit and shirt looked quite expensive; how could she afford to pay for them?However, she also thought that ev
After hearing Barry's explanation, Rowan nodded in apparent understanding."Tigers might be fierce, but they wouldn't harm or eat their own offspring. Tell me, Mr. Stewart... There are some among us humans—well, parents, to be exact—who repeatedly push their children into miserable and helpless situations. Are such people worse than animals?"Rowan's words indirectly imply that Barry was less than an animal.Barry couldn't pretend not to understand, and his expression darkened immediately.Barry was in a predicament, but Rowan's repeated sarcasm and taunting got on his nerves. Moreover, Rowan was younger than he was! But wanting to get angry and actually having the courage and presence to do so were two different things.In the company of a man like Rowan, most men would pale in comparison. He possessed a handsome and captivating appearance, an elegant and distinguished demeanor, as well as experience and depth. His every move exuded the poise of a mature man. More important
Barry thought that he would finally be able to talk to Rowan about how he would help him after he had agreed to his request. Unexpectedly, Rowan said again, “What I just said is just a warning.”Barry was dumbfounded. Rowan felt extremely pleased when he looked at Barry’s helpless expression where he could only hold back his anger. However, this was not all. This was just the start, and there was still more to come. He picked up the teapot on the side and took the initiative to pour another cup of tea for Barry. He suddenly lowered his tone again and said, “Mr. Stewart, you must know of my identity. I’m my father’s illegitimate son, and my father is currently in a loving relationship with Madam Ophelia. It is destined that I will never be able to enjoy the warmth of a family with both my parents in my life.”Barry could not understand what Rowan was trying to get at, and he could only look at Barry in confusion. Rowan sneered and continued, “So, when looking for my other half, I
