He did not like the feeling of being addicted to something as it made him feel insecure.Evelyn turned to look at him as well. After meeting his gaze, she explained inexplicably, “It was my first time drinking last night.”He replied indifferently, “Just make it the last time, then. That way, it still has a commemorative significance.”Evelyn was dumbfounded. What was there to commemorate about being inebriated?Rowan drove away directly after he dropped Evelyn off at the hospital. Evelyn went to the cafeteria at the hospital to buy breakfast for Helena because Rowan had only prepared breakfast for the two of them this morning. Evelyn did not dare to tell Helena that she had gotten drunk and stayed in the same house as a man last night. Moreover, he had even prepared breakfast for her. Therefore, she told Helena that she felt like having toasted bread in the morning today, so she had it outside. Helena did not say anything and simply ate the breakfast that Evelyn had bought for
Barry figured that they could decide on Natalie and Jeremy’s marriage directly with this dinner and choose an auspicious date for them to get married, lest something unfavorable happened if the situation dragged on. Natalie suddenly clenched her teeth and said, “It’s Evelyn! It’s all Evelyn’s fault! She’s the one who caused Jeremy to break off his engagement with me, and she’s the one who colluded with Rowan Pierce to force you to get divorced!”The more Natalie spoke, the more agitated she was. “No, I have to go and settle the score with her!” she yelled.She turned around and was about to rush out when Barry suddenly remembered Rowan’s warning that no one was allowed to cause trouble for Evelyn again, so he quickly stopped Natalie. “Stop right there!”Frustrated, Barry said, “I’m already feeling very troubled now, so please don’t cause more trouble for me by provoking her, okay? Rowan is the only person who can help us now. The Stewarts will be done for if you offend him!”Ba
The small quarrels or outbursts between the two would never last for more than a day, let alone overnight.When Miya discussed these things with Wendy and Silvia, Wendy said that there would often be times when she and Caleb would not talk to each other and would ignore each other for several days. Silvia said that she and Ryan had quarreled and had cold wars where they would not talk to each other as well.Miya could not understand how they could have a cold war. There were times when she really wanted a Cold War, but Jason would be exceptionally annoying and would beg her for a reconciliation in various ways or even take the initiative to talk to her. Therefore, she would not be able to bear it anymore and would reconcile with him. Wendy said that it was because they were still in the honeymoon phase that he was willing to coax her. However, she believed that he would not care anymore if she was angry or not after this honeymoon phase was over. Silvia said that it was because the
Nora bit her lip and thought about Julian’s proposal, then she finally nodded in agreement and said, “Okay, I’ll ask him out for dinner one day and have a chat with him.”As a sister, Nora sincerely hoped that Rowan could be happy. Moreover, Nora felt that Rowan was at the age where he should be thinking about marriage. He was already 36 years old and would be turning 37 after the New Year. Julian did not tell Nora about Evelyn’s existence for the time being as he was confused about Rowan’s thoughts as well because of Rowan’s ambiguous attitude. One moment, he said that he had nothing to do with Evelyn, and the next moment, there were rumors during his blind date that he had a girlfriend with the last name Stewart.Julian decided to send his wife to find out news first so that Rowan would not cause trouble for him again.After dinner, Julian and Jason stayed overnight at Maton Mansion. Miya laid on Jason relaxedly in Jason’s room and said enviously, “Your family has such a good at
“Okay.”He was really a cunning man; he actually forced her to submit to him in bed!The two of them did not make much noise because they were at Maton Mansion. After it was over, the two of them hugged each other and panted softly. Miya said to him weakly, “I’m going on a business trip next week.”Jason asked casually, “Where are you going?”Miya replied calmly, “Blackstone.”“Blackstone?” Jason suddenly lost his composure. Everyone knew what Blackstone meant to Miya. She had studied there for postgraduate school, worked there, and had been hurt there. Although her ex-boyfriend had never appeared again since Miya rejected him, that did not mean that Jason could take it lightly. Moreover, Miya was the one going to Blackstone now, and it was that man’s territory, so it would be a lie to say that Jason was not nervous. He turned over and sat up on the bed as he frowned and looked at Miya seriously.“Can you not go?”Miya replied to him angrily, “This is my first business tri
Derrick greeted Evelyn awkwardly at the end of the corridor outside. “Evelyn, are you here for the second interview too?”“Mm-hmm,” Evelyn responded naturally. Derrick then sighed and said, “Can you not tell your father about me coming here for the interview today? Well, your father’s company has not been doing well at all in recent years, and our wages would be delayed sometimes as well. I really can’t work there any longer, so—” Evelyn smiled gently and said, “I understand, Mr. Campbell. I won’t say anything, so you can rest assured. People should constantly strive to make progress anyway.” Evelyn said these words to comfort the other party. Derrick was moved by her reasonableness, then he remembered that she had also passed the interview and had moved onto the second interview, so he could not help but sigh and said, “It would be great if your father had a talented person like you by his side to help him. Natalie…” Derrick shook his head helplessly when he mentioned Natalie,
Evelyn was not a nymphomaniac who only cared about appreciating males, but Rowan really had a charm that was so attractive and one could only admire him.According to Selena, among the new business elites in Detroit, Julian had the best appearance in terms of handsomeness. However, Rowan’s mature masculine temperament that had been tempered over the years was better than Julian’s.Evelyn had heard Selena mention that Rowan had a rather rough life as well, compared to Julian and his half-brother, Ryan, who had a smooth life from childhood to adulthood. Rowan was indeed a person who had experienced a lot, so it was inevitable that he would have a more mature and restrained temperament compared to the two of them. Rowan’s cold and somewhat inhumane personality made him seem like a completely different person from Ryan and Julian. Ryan was righteous, Julian was evil, and Rowan was cruel.Selena had said that Rowan was the kind of man who was obviously very bad but was very fascinati
Amy’s eyes were filled with disdain as she sat there with her arms crossed in front of her chest. She said, “I’m laughing at you because you’re acting like a nymphomaniac. No matter how cool or attractive the big boss is, it’s not someone that a young girl like you can covet, right?”Dissatisfied, the young girl confronted her, “Do you think you can covet him if I can’t? Don’t think I don’t know anything about you. Everyone says that you only came to this company for the big boss’s sake.”There were six people, a total of three men and three women, attending the second interview today. The women were Evelyn, Amy, and this young girl. The men were Derrick, who was undergoing the interview at this time, and the two men who were already done with the interview. When the two men saw the two women openly arguing with each other at this time, they stopped talking immediately and sat aside to watch the show. When faced with the young girl’s questioning, Amy frankly admitted, “That’s rig
