last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56
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

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

    Rowan finally felt the suffocating depressing feeling dissipating as he thought of this. He drove back to the company directly and focused on his work.As soon as he arrived at the company, he received a report on today’s interview from the Human Resources Department. Evelyn’s name was on the list for the second interview in three days.Rowan chuckled lightly. These personnel were all talented people. He had simply recommended her for an interview, and they seemed to have understood something.In fact, part of the reason he had recommended her was due to some personal emotional factors, but the most important thing was because he valued her talent, so he wanted to give her a chance. There was nothing he could do if she did not seize the opportunity herself. However, he did not want her to be criticized because of her relationship with him if she came in to work, so he responded to the report by the Human Resources Department with an email that emphasized: ‘Designers should be chos

    There was no pretense at all, and she was straightforward because she knew that what Evelyn needed the most at the moment was money. Money could help Evelyn more than any other gifts at this time. Evelyn accepted the envelope. True friends were like this. They did not need to work hard to please each other, but sometimes, the most direct form of love was the most precious. She took the beer home, tidied up the house briefly, took a shower, and changed into a fresh set of home clothes. She did not wear a bra because she was ready for bed and would not be going out anymore.She then sat on the sofa and started drinking. She had already had dinner, and she could not eat anymore, so she did not prepare any appetizers. She simply drank directly from the beer bottle. Besides, appetizers were only prepared for veteran drinkers; a novice such as herself would not think that the beer tasted good even if it was paired with sumptuous appetizers. Evelyn drank gallantly, and she was basicall

    Evelyn struggled in confusion as she said, “I want to drink water.”All her protests were cut off by the intense kiss in the next second. Evelyn’s entire consciousness was filled with chaos, and her breath was filled with the cool breath that was unique to mature men. Even though she could barely open her eyes to see the person in front of her clearly, her consciousness was instantly submerged in his hot breath and lingering kiss.Before this, Evelyn had no experience in such intimacy aside from that night, so she was no match for him. Her whole body went limp when he kissed her. Evelyn had been drugged that night, so the extremely strong drug in her body had made her take the initiative to hug Rowan’s neck and kiss his lips, but she was passive and helpless now, and everything was under Rowan’s control.Rowan’s lips lingered on hers before he started kissing her neck. One of his hands was already under her shirt as he touched and enjoyed the woman’s body to the fullest. Rowan w

    Evelyn was worried about this, but Rowan did not take it seriously as he said, “This small amount of snow is nothing.”Evelyn was extremely worried. The temperature was so low now, so the road must be icy. The snow was too heavy and would block his sight. Evelyn did not want him to be in any danger, so she suggested in a low voice, “It’s better if you don’t go back.”Rowan looked at her in surprise and smiled as he asked, “Where will I stay if I don’t go back? Do you want me to stay in the car all night?”Evelyn shook her head and said, “Y-You can go home with me.”She had just taken the initiative to invite a man to spend the night at her home. It was truly embarrassing for a shy girl like Evelyn to say these words, but she was willing to do so for his safety.“My mother should be asleep now, and she wakes up later in the morning. We can just leave before she wakes up in the morning.”She explained with a red face, “Don’t misunderstand me. I just don’t want you to be in danger o

    She held her cell phone and said hurriedly, “I’ll go down right now.”She ended the call and hurriedly put on her down jacket. She was wearing warm and soft polar fleece home clothes. She did not have time to change, so she simply put on a down jacket and went out. She opened the door and walked out stealthily, out of fear that she would wake Helena up, and Helena would find out that she was going down to meet Rowan in the middle of the night. Helena would surely think that this kind of behavior was inappropriate. When passing by the living room, Evelyn glanced in the direction of Helena’s bedroom. The lights had been turned off, so she was probably asleep. Helena’s physical condition was not as good as it was before the surgery. After all, she was getting older and had undergone craniotomy, which was a major surgery, so she could not keep up mentally and physically. She would go to bed very early at night and wake up late in the morning.After Evelyn left the house quietly, sh

    Cassie’s expression turned ugly when she heard Helena’s words. She was shocked and humiliated as she asked in disbelief, “Is it Rowan Pierce?”Cassie knew that it was the Pierces and Matons who were maliciously targeting the Sullivans. Julian and Nora had just gotten married, and it was said that Julian loved Nora very much, so it could not be Julian.As the person in charge of the Pierces, Ryan was a married man as well, and the couple usually kept a low profile and rarely displayed their affection. However, Cassie heard that Ryan’s wife had just given birth to a son, and it was widely known that Ryan was a family man now.Rowan was the only single man, so could it be Rowan?Cassie recalled the scene when she saw Rowan shopping with them in the mall that day. At the time, she wondered why Rowan would be willing to go shopping with them, but now, it seemed that he was there for Evelyn’s sake. Cassie was so stunned when she thought of this that she felt like she would choke on a m

    In the end, Natalie was pushed to a dead end and had no choice but to hold a press conference in a hurry. During the press conference, she cried and apologized for the plagiarism and the fact that she had looked for someone to draw a design for her, and announced that she would be quitting the design world.However, few people accepted her apology or showed sympathy for her even though she apologized and admitted her mistakes. The general public opinion was still scolding her in various ways, so Barry simply drove Natalie home and asked her to stay at home to avoid the limelight. One night after Natalie’s incident, Evelyn was accompanying Helena on a stroll in the neighborhood when they ran into Cassie.Natalie’s life had been completely gloomy and dark in the past few days, but Evelyn’s life was stable and practical.Rowan insisted on picked her up from work every morning. If Rowan was at the company at noon, the two would have lunch together. Considering that Helena would be at

    Natalie never expected that Rowan would play these dirty tricks behind her back. She did not know that Rowan was best at these tricks. She had cried and begged Barry to plead for mercy on her behalf, but when Barry came back, he told her that there was no room for redemption. She was desperate and was filled with hatred and resentment. Over the years, she had tried every means possible to trample all over Evelyn, but in the end, she was the one who suffered the most and could not turn her life around. Natalie clenched her teeth angrily in hatred as she dug her nails into her palms and tried to calm her emotions. So what if her career in design was ruined? She never truly liked this industry anyway. She had only learned it at the beginning in order to crush Evelyn. She could still do other things even if she did not do design, right? There were so many different industries in this world, so she did not have to make a living in jewelry design. Besides, she was a Stewart, so s

    She laughed loudly when she was happy, shed tears when she was sad, never hid her true self, and was a frank and sincere person. Why wouldn’t men like such a girl?Rowan laughed. He did not mean to slander Selena; he was simply analyzing Selena’s current situation from his perspective as a man. Selena might indeed be a good girl in Evelyn’s eyes. After all, Evelyn was a woman who only cared about Selena’s personality, but men paid more attention to a woman’s temperament and charm sometimes. Everyone naturally had their own preferences. For example, Rowan preferred someone simple like Evelyn, whereas some men might prefer someone with a stronger personality like Selena. Evelyn had to call Charles after she could not reach Selena. “Charles, is Selena home? I can’t seem to reach her on her cell phone.”Charles frowned when he heard Evelyn’s words. “She’s not back yet. You can’t reach her on her cell phone?”“I can’t. I tried calling her several times, but her cell phone is switch

    He was wrong. He was really wrong. He treated the person he wanted to protect so coldly and harshly. It seemed that he had not been in a relationship for too long that he had forgotten how to love. Fortunately, it only took him this once to understand the crux of his problem. Therefore, he stroked her cheek gently and reassured her in a deep voice, “It won’t happen again.”Evelyn chose to smile slightly in relief in response to his apology and assurance.When two people are together, they need to understand and accommodate each other in terms of personality, temperament, and living habits. Since they had only officially been together for a day, this was even more essential for them. As he said, he was an ordinary man, and she was an ordinary woman. Their relationship was that of an ordinary couple, so it was normal for them to quarrel, have disagreements, and lose their temper. Evelyn felt that there was nothing that could not be solved as long as it did not involve principles

    “Getting dinner!” Rowan announced angrily, then he placed her in the passenger seat, got into the car, and drove away. Evelyn had no other objections since they were going to eat. Anyway, she had already called Helena earlier to tell her that she would not be going back for dinner tonight as she would be having dinner with Selena. Not long after the two had gotten into the car and driven out, Selena called and asked Evelyn worriedly, “Evelyn, how did it go? Did you manage to coax him yet?”As Rowan was sitting next to her, Evelyn could not answer whether she had managed to coax him. Therefore, she hesitated without saying anything.When Selena heard this, she knew that they must not have reconciled yet, so she gave her advice on the other end of the line. “It’s fine. There’s no man that can’t be coaxed. Just one kiss will do. If he still can’t be coaxed, give him two kisses. If that doesn’t work, just kiss him all over until he’s no longer angry!”Selena’s voice was loud enough,

    Selena’s tone was full of annoyance as she said, “I initially thought of giving Evelyn a surprise, but it turned out to be a shock!”Selena had good intentions as well; she just wanted to introduce the most handsome, stylish, and reliable man that she knew to Evelyn, but it turned out to be self-defeating. As for Shane, who was to be introduced to Evelyn, he simply stood there leisurely the whole time, looking at the three of them as if he was watching a good show. He watched as they got jealous, explained themselves, and felt depressed. Even though both Evelyn and Selena had explained the whole story entirely, Rowan still felt angry and annoyed.After glaring angrily at Evelyn, he simply turned around and walked away.Evelyn and Selena could only exchange glances as they were at a loss for what to do.In the end, Evelyn said to Selena helplessly, “I’ll go and see how he’s doing. You two can enjoy dinner together. I’m sorry.”Evelyn chose to pay attention to Rowan this time an
