Evelyn thought that it was a good thing that she was buying the shirt for him, so she could just ask him to come over and choose the shirt that he wanted for himself. When she turned around, she saw him walking to the side to sit down on the sofa that had been placed there for customers to rest. His movements were indescribably calm and elegant.Evelyn looked at him in astonishment and asked, “Aren't you the one buying a shirt?”He looked at her lazily and replied, “Shouldn’t it be your choice since you want to compensate me?”Evelyn was speechless because his words were reasonable. “But I…” Evelyn still wanted to protest, but he had already picked up a magazine next to him and lowered his head to read it. His long legs were crossed, and he had a calm and distant posture, making it clear that he was staying out of this matter.Evelyn had a headache. She did not know how to shop for men’s clothes. She had rarely bought clothes for Jeremy even when they were together in the past. F
Evelyn did not know what words to use to describe the man in front of her. She simply felt the pace of her breathing accelerating, and she could not meet his gaze at all.A simple white shirt like this could make him stand out. The salesgirl did not disappoint as she had been selling men’s clothing all year round; she had chosen the perfect size for Rowan which suited his figure perfectly. The man’s broad shoulders held up the thin piece of clothing, as if it was holding up the sky for a woman, giving people a warm and fulfilling sense of security.Evelyn felt that most people relied on clothes to enhance their temperament, but when it came to him, he was the one who gave the simple shirt a mature and calm temperament. The man’s low-pitch voice sounded in her ears. “Are you satisfied?” Evelyn blushed immediately. What did he mean when he asked her if she was satisfied? Shouldn’t he be the one to decide if he was satisfied?She was buying the shirt for him, so it was fine as lo
He had long passed the age of using hysterics and yelling to vent his emotions. After spending so much time with him, Evelyn had never seen him speaking loudly, even when he was dealing with Natalie and Barry. His tone and posture were always calm and composed, as if nothing could make him lose control of his emotions, and some things meant nothing to him at all.His attitude made Evelyn feel calm and safe when she was with him.Evelyn did not know why she suddenly had these messy thoughts, and these sudden thoughts about feeling safe caused her ears to warm slightly, so she quickly changed the topic and said, “You can choose one of these two.”He withdrew his gaze from her, straightened out his shirt elegantly and casually in front of the full-length mirror, and said, “Can’t I choose both?”He seemed to be very satisfied with the two shirts she had chosen. Evelyn was about to cry. Each of these items were expensive. She had obviously only soiled one of his shirts, but he was ask
Nora’s questioning was so persistent that Rowan instantly knew that Julian was behind this matter. Rowan had a general idea of Julian’s thoughts. He knew that Julian simply wanted him to get married and start a family as soon as possible so that he could focus all his attention on his own family and not interfere in Nora’s affairs anymore. However, Rowan felt that Julian was too naive. Even if he had his own wife and family, he would never ignore Nora’s affairs. After all, love and kinship were two entirely different concepts. He would never abandon family ties no matter how invested he was in love, not to mention Nora his sister that he loved dearly. He did not answer Nora’s question directly but simply asked, “Is there something you need?”Rowan did not want to introduce Evelyn to Nora and the others right now as it was not the right time yet. Nora had nothing to say, so she could only say, “Do you want to have dinner together later? I want to taste your cooking.”“Today?
If he betrayed and hurt her, she could still turn around and abandon him without looking back. She would love him equally if he loved her wholeheartedly.In other words, his attitude toward her, and their love and marriage, would directly determine her attitude toward him.This was the only thing Nora said to Julian after getting married. She did not say any other unnecessary words. Saying just the right amount was enough. If she said too much, he would think that she cared too much.Julian became the perfect husband who was always focused on her after they had gotten married. As long as he had no social activities after getting off work, he would go home to cook and accompany her as soon as possible. His friends, whom he used to get together with to play cards, drink, and have fun in the past, were, in Rowan’s words, bad friends. They had asked Julian to go out with them several times, but he had always refused, and they would then make fun of him.Julian chose to simply laugh i
He turned to look at her with a puzzled look in his eyes. Evelyn wanted to say that all elderly people enjoyed drinking tea, but she felt that it was too impolite for her to say so. Therefore, she silently returned to the kitchen, poured him a glass of water, and brought it out.When the glass of water was placed in front of him, an emotionless voice sounded. “Tell me what you think of men my age.”Evelyn was startled, and she stood up straight and said, “I don’t have any opinion.”What thoughts could she have? She had never been in contact with men of his age, and all her friends and classmates were all about the same age as herself. She was in her 20s, and she was at an age where impulse was greater than reason.Some already had successful careers, and some still had nothing to show for themselves, but even those who had built up a successful career had not reached his level, so she would not judge men of his age. He stared at her with his deep dark eyes and asked, “Do you th
In the middle of her task, she went out and found that Rowan had fallen asleep on the sofa.His body was leaning slightly backward, and his head tilted to the back as he rested on the sofa. His arms were crossed in front of his chest, and he maintained an elegant and domineering posture even in his sleep.His dashing eyebrows and eyes were completely relaxed, with a hint of undisguised fatigue in his expression.Seeing this scene, Evelyn suddenly felt a pang of heartache. She didn't know what he had been busy with the previous night, and she had forgotten about the pressure and air of authority he had always given her. All she knew was that he was vulnerable at this moment and in need of care.Thinking that it would take a while for the food to be ready, she quietly went to the bedroom. She took out a thin blanket, gently covered him, and then turned back to the kitchen to continue cooking.Rowan woke up with a start. Last night, he had a late video conference with the America
He could sense that holding her hands just now had startled her.However, at that sudden moment, he had the urge to do so. Logic had not suppressed the impulsive act. So, he had gone with the flow.After he caught up to her, the two walked side by side. Neither of them spoke for a while.After a few moments, Rowan spoke first as they passed a square within the residential area."Do you find me boring?"They hadn't spoken during dinner, and now they were silent during the walk. Rowan was worried that his somewhat reserved personality might not be to her liking, so he took the initiative to ask.Upon closer consideration, his personality wasn't too reserved in truth. In this immature stage of their relationship, it wasn't suitable to say too much or do too many other things.When Evelyn heard his question, she immediately shook her head in denial."No, not at all. I don't find you boring."She actually thought that her own personality was boring.Evelyn had always been the qu
