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
Lara said this to Evelyn as she recalled the scene where they met Rowan earlier. Evelyn did not notice Rowan’s clothes at first. When Lara said this, she thought about it, and her ears suddenly turned red because she discovered that the clothes Rowan wore today was the suit that she had bought last night and the white shirt they had bought together.Evelyn had conflicting emotions that could not be described in words when others praised Rowan for his good looks and handsomeness when he was wearing the clothes that she had bought for him. The fact that he was already in a relationship made her sentiments even more tangled.Lara continued speaking, “What do you think it feels like to be loved by a man like him? It must feel very blissful, right?” Lara was so immersed in her longing that Evelyn could not help but imagine that scene as well. Evelyn had truly experienced his thoughtfulness and meticulousness as a mature man, so Evelyn felt that it must be really blissful to be together
Jason stopped asking about Evelyn’s affairs. He ordered some food, then he told Rowan about his love story with Miya while eating. He also told Rowan his requirements for the gown and ring. He did not want the design to be too fancy because Miya’s beauty was eye-catching enough. Therefore, Jason felt that if the design of the gown and ring were too complicated and fancy, it would be an overkill when combined with her beauty.Jason hoped that the design of the gown and ring could be as simple as possible. The simpler it was, the better it would be as this would be the only way to bring out Miya’s own beauty and exceptional disposition. However, even though the gown and ring had to be simple, they also had to be intriguing and timeless. Jason’s requirements could not be easily met. Simple and intriguing were two opposing concepts, so it was difficult to integrate these two concepts together, but Rowan did not say anything. He could understand Jason’s thoughts. All men wanted the b
Evelyn was dumbfounded. Who could be so spontaneous and casual to make themselves at home at other people’s home, especially his? He always made everything sound so easy. She then asked him again, “Where are we going to work? I’ll go directly to where we’ll be working.”Evelyn wanted to start working quickly so that she could avoid feeling so embarrassed. Rowan turned around and glanced at her faintly as he said, “Are you clear about your client’s requests? Why are you so anxious to start working?”Evelyn was stunned by his words. She did not meet Jason yesterday, so she did not know anything about Jason’s requests at all. She could not start working even if she wanted to.“Is there anything you would like to drink?” Rowan asked Evelyn again. Evelyn shook her head and said, “No, just give me a glass of warm water.”Rowan then brought out a glass of warm water. He came back here directly after having dinner with Jason last night. He did not need to clean up the house because t
