Nora tried to think of the right phrase to describe her first impression of Evelyn, but she could not find any. After hearing her answer, Rowan could not help but reply to her quietly, “You’re truly my sister.”Rowan felt the same way Nora did. He could not put a finger on what he liked about Evelyn, but he just liked her. Nora laughed and said, “You don’t need a reason to like someone.”She then leaned over and asked, “The clothing designs that I saw in your living room when I came here just now are for her, right?”After Rowan brought Nora into the house, Nora saw many design sketches scattered on the table in the living room. Nora thought that Rowan had come up with those designs for her at first, but she frowned after she picked up the sketches and looked at them.“Rowan, you know I can’t wear these clothes that you designed, right?”Not to mention that it looked very professional, the most important thing was that she was pregnant now, and her belly was already showing. She
In her opinion, he was a man who loved his sister, valued kinship, and was a considerate gentleman. Although he would criticize her when he spoke to her sometimes, it seemed that it was all for her own good. After all, Evelyn had seen how he scolded Natalie, Barry, and the others, so she felt that the words he said to her were not harsh at all.Rowan’s apartment was very large, and his study room was located in another location, so they had to walk some distance along the corridor. Rowan’s tall and broad figure was in front of her, and his steps were calm and steady.Evelyn felt embarrassed to keep staring at his back, so she had to lower her eyes as she thought of these things. She did not notice that the man in front of her had already stopped in his tracks when he arrived at the door of the study room, so she slammed into the man’s hard and muscular chest because she was distracted. He instinctively raised his hands to hug her waist because she had run into his arms like this.
Nora initially planned to changed the topic just now. Unexpectedly, she succeeded in changing the topic yet somehow managed to drag Julian into the conversation again. Rowan’s words really hit Julian’s sore point.Julian did not want to be reminded of his bastard behavior back then. Unexpectedly, Nora’s words made Rowan bring up his past again. Therefore, Julian decided to simply eat in silence. Nora knew that she said something that she should not have said as well, so she stuck out her tongue and lowered her head to eat.Evelyn was very focused on reading in the study room. The study room had a very good environment. There was a whole wall with a tall bookcase, neatly packed with all kinds of books. In addition to publications on design, there were books on literature, geography, history, art, and music. There were all kinds of books, so it could be seen that the books that he read were all very comprehensive and encyclopedic. There was a thick white carpet in front of the book
Barry hurriedly explained, “That’s not… I really want to get divorced. Hello? Hello?”Rowan hung up the phone unceremoniously. Barry was anxious and scared. He did not know what Rowan’s attitude was and whether he would ignore him completely out of anger. However, there was really nothing he could do. After getting up in the morning, he went to look for Melanie immediately so that they could go and get divorced. Melanie probably did not expect that he would still propose a divorce so ruthlessly after she had served him so well the night before. She started crying out of anger. After she had calmed down, she told him that she still needed to wash up and put on makeup. Barry answered a call and went out to run an errand. When he came back, Melanie could not be found.Natalie had no idea about Melanie’s whereabouts either. Their son was in boarding school, so he knew nothing about Melanie’s whereabouts. Barry was furious. Natalie had another quarrel with Barry because he insisted
When Nora called Rowan to ask for his opinion, Rowan said that he should be able to get it done in time. As for the design of the ring, Nora specifically asked for Evelyn to design the ring. Nora felt that she was really an amazing sister who did not miss out on any chance to create opportunities for Rowan to spend more time with Evelyn. Since the gown and ring would have to match, the two of them would definitely have to spend more time together. Although Nora had never seen any of Evelyn’s designs before, she felt that the things designed by such a beautiful and gentle girl must be beautiful. Nora felt that Evelyn certainly had a talent and ability that Rowan admired since she could be employed in Rowan’s design company.Otherwise, with Rowan’s temperament, even if he liked her, he would not allow Evelyn to join his company if she did not have any ability or potential in designing. Jason was extremely happy with Nora’s answer. “Thank you so much. I’ll treat you to dinner when
Selena exclaimed on the other end of the line, “My goodness! He let you meet his family so soon?”Evelyn was speechless. She felt as if Selena’s thoughts were running wild, so she clarified the matter to Selena. “It’s not what you think. He did not intend for me to meet his family because his sister was already there when I went over.”Selena had her own opinion on the matter. “Yes, his sister was already there when you went over, but you called him earlier to let him know that you were going over. If he didn’t want you to meet his sister, he would have just told you that it was inconvenient for you to go over today. However, he asked you to come even when he knew that his sister was there. Doesn’t that mean that he has the intention to introduce his sister to you?”Selena continued saying one thing after the other. Before Evelyn could answer, Selena said again, “You have to know that big shots like them usually will not meet any strangers, so why would they introduce their family t
Did all men like to be so fickle-minded? Was being fickle-minded a form of masculine charm for all men? Was that why they enjoyed it?Evelyn had these negative judgments about men in her mind for a moment. She was not dim-witted, and she could feel that he treated her somewhat differently. However, if his different treatment toward her was based on the fact that he already had someone else that he was interested in, she felt that his different treatment toward her meant something else. Could it be that he regarded her as the kind of promiscuous woman who could afford to play this kind of emotional game and whom he could casually fool around with because she had had such an experience two years ago?After all, she was really notorious in Detroit two years ago. In other words, she was infamous. If he did a little research on her, he would be able to find out about that incident. Those rumors would have never stopped if she hadn’t gone abroad in the past two years.Evelyn’s face tu
Rowan had a calm expression as he sat there with his legs crossed, but he was not as calm as he looked on the surface. He felt a little anxious, and his anxiety came from Evelyn’s inexplicable rejection. They obviously got along rather harmoniously and happily last night. Although she had always maintained a certain distance from him in their previous interactions, he always thought that this distance was appropriate in response to her character. She would not be Evelyn if she was warm and eager toward him. However, she deliberately took a step to the side from the moment she stepped in the elevator. Rowan sensed that something was wrong.If the previous distance that she maintained from him was due to her reserved personality—which was instinctive and natural—the way she was keeping her distance from him now was something that she was doing deliberately. Rowan felt very uncomfortable because he did not know why she suddenly felt such rejection toward him.When everything was w
