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
What's more, Jeremy had been there for Evelyn during the difficult years of her parents' divorce, especially in the initial few years.To be honest, when things went wrong initially, Rowan had thought that Jeremy would continue to support her through this tough time. It seemed that he had overestimated Jeremy's feelings for her.However, Rowan couldn't quite figure out Evelyn's feelings for Jeremy.On the surface, it seemed like she had let go. But she still had a special bond with Jeremy as he had been there during the dark times of her parents' divorce. Letting go completely was not easy, but it had been two years, and she should have moved on.If she couldn't let go even now, then she was truly being foolish.Rowan drove with a slight frown, but soon, his expression smoothened out again.Regardless of whether she had let go of Jeremy, he wouldn't give her a chance to think about other men since he had decided to pursue her.-After watching Rowan's car drive away, Evelyn
"Don't worry. I won't do it again. I'll cherish you."Evelyn, come back to me, okay? Can we start over?"Faced with Jeremy's uncontrollable actions, Evelyn felt her anger surge. She struggled to push Jeremy away and, in the midst of the struggle, forcefully slapped him.A crisp sound echoed, accompanied by a fiery pain on his face. In his emotionally charged state, Jeremy froze in place. His eyes were filled with disbelief. He never expected Evelyn to lay hands on him.Evelyn was never the rough or rude type. Even when angry, she would just speak loudly. This was the first time she had physically struck someone, and it was Jeremy, her ex-fiancé.For Evelyn, Jeremy's behavior was just too much, and his words were too extreme.Not everything could end when he wanted it to, and not everyone would wait foolishly in the same spot after a missed opportunity.Evelyn felt angry and disappointed. Every word Jeremy said and everything he did trampled on her dignity—it was as if sh
Evelyn pursed her lips and remained silent.Rowan softened his voice and said, "I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to tell you that the slap was well-deserved."Evelyn was speechless.Hitting someone was inherently uncivilized, and she was well aware of it. She had slapped Jeremy because she had lost all rationality for a split second due to overwhelming anger.So, it wasn't like people would praise her for hitting someone like Rowan had just done.He was being overly biased.However, she couldn't deny that his biases strangely touched her heart. So, she opened up a bit and unconsciously confided in him about everything that had happened between her and Jeremy."He said he had already told Natalie he wanted to break off the engagement. He even mentioned wanting to pursue me again. I find it unreasonable."Evelyn wasn't the type to complain to others, so she briefly explained the situation to Rowan.Rowan laughed. "That's indeed unreasonable. That's why the slap was we
Rowan naturally heard Barry’s intention to give up in his words, so he sneered and asked Barry, “You can’t control it? Mr. Stewart, are you planning to accept the annulment of their engagement, then?“Jeremy has annulled his engagement to both your daughters. Can you really accept this? Besides, isn’t Natalie the apple of your eye? How can you let Jeremy sleep with her in vain for so many years?”Rowan spared no effort to add fuel to the flames. He had never thought of himself as a good or a kind person. In fact, he had never concealed his despicableness. He even felt that he had restrained himself a lot over the years. Otherwise, how could he have let Barry and Jeremy off so easily?He liked to personally deal with those who had offended him in the past, making them live lives worst than death. He preferred to watch them fight among themselves now. He only needed to stir up a little trouble, then sit back and watch the fun.He felt that his words just now were already enough to
Every man loved a young and beautiful girl. Didn’t Barry fall in love with her because of her youth and beauty?Melanie was afraid now that Barry was threatening not to give her even a penny. Even though she had other younger sexual partners behind Barry’s back, she was well aware that those young men could only satisfy her physical needs. They had no money at all because they were too young. In fact, they got all their money from her.Melanie knew that she could not live without Barry, or to be precise, she could not live without Barry’s money, even though his aged body could no longer satisfy her needs in bed. However, she was a scheming person, so she instantly showed her weaker side and started sobbing as she cried out, “Barry…”Barry had been in love with Melanie for many years after all, so he felt a little distressed when he saw her crying. He explained, “Melanie, I’ve explained the pros and cons to you very clearly. We are just faking a divorce, and we will still be a fa
Evelyn agreed. She had a lot that she wanted to say to Selena, and she wanted Selena to accompany her to deliver the suit to Rowan, so she might actually have to eat out tonight. The first thing the two of them did when they went out was to choose a suit for Rowan. Selena complained unceremoniously after hearing what happened. “He’s really shameless. He actually asked you to compensate for his clothes? Doesn’t he know that you’re financially tight now? He even wanted two shirts…”Selena did not even know what to say. Anyway, she had never understood Rowan’s action and behavior from the very beginning, so she could not be bothered to continue guessing now. In the end, she still came to the same conclusion. “Anyway, no matter what he does, I still think that he’s interested in you!”Evelyn asked Selena softly, “But what do you think he likes about me?”It was not that she had no confidence; Rowan was simply too outstanding. There were many women that a man like him could choose from
Evelyn was a little annoyed that she had forgotten about this matter and came to his house directly. She wondered what she should do now.The girl was obviously surprised to see her as well.However, the girl was very considerate. When she noticed that Evelyn did not seem to recognize her, she quickly turned around and called out to Rowan, “Rowan, are you expecting someone?”She then greeted Evelyn warmly. “My brother is cooking. Come in and have a seat first.”Evelyn was embarrassed by the girl’s enthusiasm and smiled awkwardly as she said, “No, I won’t be going in. I’m just here to pass something to Mr. Rowan—” Rowan walked out from inside before she could finish speaking.He was dressed in comfortable home clothing. He was wearing a navy blue sweater and a pair of gray casual pants. This was another look from the smart formal wear and suit that she used to see him in. However, even if he was dressed casually, it could not hide his aura from being in a high position for a lo
