Evadne has been married to Orion Ashford for half a year, but they still havenโt been blessed with a baby, which Orion has been eagerly hoping for. Little does Evadne know, in order for Orion to get the high position (CEO) in their company, he needs to have a baby. This has caused a growing rift between Evadne and her husband, as she is unable to provide what he desires. However, what hurt Evadne even more was when she finds out in the actual scene that her husband is having sex with another woman and in the same room and bed as their husband and wife. And what made it even more painful? She discovered that the woman her husband was having an affair with was none other than her friend, who had been temporarily staying at their house for a week.
๋ ๋ณด๊ธฐEvadne felt worse than someone bitten by a snake because of that kiss from Gavin. Not even the sharp lightning and loud thunder could shake her. Whereas earlier, she could hardly keep still because of fear.But the fear she endured earlier seemed to vanish suddenly.Evadneโs hands instinctively rose to Gavinโs chest. While she still had some sanity left, she decided to push Gavin away from her.He relented.โW-what do you think youโre doing, Gavin?โ she scolded, swallowing hard. For a moment, her gaze flickered to his lips, but she quickly returned her eyes to his.Those lips were a fierce temptation.Perks of being long deprived, Evadne? her mischievous mind teased.โIโm kissing you,โ Gavin replied without hesitation. He took a deep breath. โAnd Iโm not sorry for kissing you. Itโs to ease your fear.โTo ease her fear? That was a pretty good reason.โGavin, you shouldnโt have done that. You know-โโI know thereโs someone else,โ he quickly interjected. โBut, to be honest, the more weโr
She secretly swallowed. โIโm happy here, Gavin. You donโt need to see it with your own eyes.โโJust let me if what youโre saying is really true.โโDo you doubt me?โโItโs not like that. I just want to make sure.โโIโm okay. Weโre okay...โ she and your children.โYouโre not married yet.โEvadne couldnโt immediately respond to Gavinโs statement. Was she going to confess?โIs it really necessary for two people to be married before being together?โ she reasoned.Gavin sighed. โIf he really loves you, heโll marry you. What if I decide to take you back, can he do anything? Youโre not married yet.โWas he serious? Was he ready to take her back from someone else if she had someone else?โThe conversationโs going off track, Gavin,โ she scolded. She stood up and approached the grilled food he ordered. โCan I have some? Iโm hungry,โ she said before taking some. She also took another stick and handed it to Gavin.โNo wonder the barbecue at that grill tastes so good because youโre the owner,โ he
Gavin squeezed his eyes shut, his head resting on his knees. His heart felt like it was being wrung dry as he listened to the fading hum of the motorboat. He hadnโt expected to see Evadne in that place. So, the moment he heard her familiar voiceโwhile he was searching for firewood on the island for the bonfire he had planned for later that nightโhe dropped the wood he was carrying and ran toward her faster than a lightning strike. His heart thudded loudly in his chest upon seeing Evadne. She was really right in front of him earlier. But just like that... they were parted for good.And he couldnโt accept that part. That their past was finally severed. Suddenly, the surroundings seemed even more colorless and bleak. Itโs as if his mind deliberately reminded him of the happy memories he shared with Evadne back then. When they were still okay. Now, he had to come to terms with the fact that itโs really over. That Evadne, who was once a part of his life, wouldnโt be coming back. Deep in
Evadne mind was still conflictedโshould she go back to Maine with Uncle Varenzo, or should she grant Gavinโs request for time to talk?Why was it so hard to decide?โGirl?โ Varenzo called to her. He must have sensed that something was wrong because he approached her, ready to pull her away from Gavin.But why did it hurt to think of leaving white sand island without even talking to him? A part of her wanted to hear his sideโwhy had he suddenly grown cold toward her back then?Was it worth listening to what he had to say?In the end, Evadne made a decision. She looked at Varenzo. โCan you just wait at the boat, Uncle Varenzo.โโAre you sure you donโt want to go home yet?โShe nodded, and he respected her choice. She watched as Uncle Varenzo walked away. In her mind, she counted to five before finally turning to face Gavin.She could see the relief on his handsome face, as if her willingness to talk had allowed him to breathe easier.โTen minutes, Gavin,โ she told him.โCanโt we make it
Evadne wanted to pinch her cheek to see if what she was seeing was real or just part of her imagination. Would the face she was seeing completely change the moment she blinked? Even her breathing momentarily halted. She couldnโt believe what her eyes were seeing. In the end, she couldnโt help but blink. But upon doing so, what she was seeing didnโt change. The man approaching her still had the same appearance. Like her, he couldnโt believe seeing her.When she recovered from her surprise, she managed to step back slightly away from Gavin, who was now approaching her. That voice was familiar. Even after five years, she could still recognize it so quickly. She secretly swallowed. โIโve placed your order for the barbecue in your tent,โ she said, trying not to let him see how affected she was by seeing him again in person. Why was it like that? Why was there a part of her that was excited to see him? Shouldnโt she be angry with him? Just as she was about to quickly turn away, he gr
โWHATโS WRONG? Your face looks sad again, Darling,โ Catalina glanced at her husband, Gabriel, as he approached her.She sighed. โGavin just arrived from somewhere. I donโt think our plan to set him up with Rosalin will be successful. Your son seems completely disinterested in Friend Dinaโs daughter.โGabriel embraced her and gently rubbed her shoulder. โI told you, you should talk to our son first. Maybe he has someone else in mind, which is why heโs not interested in Rosalin.โโGabriel, our son is already thirty-seven. Do you want him to wait until we're dead before he thinks about having a family? Everything we have now will go to waste if thereโs no one to pass it down to. Weโre getting older. All I want is to see our son have a family of his own, a wife to stand by his side.โโWhen there were many girls linked to our son, you advised him to stay away from them and not get entangled. Now that heโs avoiding girls, youโre pushing for him to get married.โโHow was I supposed to know i
After Gavin finished his breakfast, the next thing he did was to take a shower. He had no intention of staying in that big house. Especially since it seemed like Rosalin was just waiting for the right moment to corner him. Thatโs how he felt. Thatโs why earlier, when he had breakfast, he chose to eat by the seaside. While his parents were sitting facing the sea.โWhere are you going?โ Rosalin asked curiously when she saw him coming out of his cramped room. He was wearing dark shades and even had an umbrella. It was obvious he was going somewhere.โJust around,โ he replied curtly.โDo you want me to give you a tour of the island?โ she invited him further.He shook his head. โI want to be alone,โ he said before he walked past her. She caught him with a glance.He breathed a sigh of relief because he didnโt see his parents at the beachfront. Thatโs where he planned to take a walk. He noticed that the shoreline stretched straight from their beach mansion. It seemed like a pleasant walk.T
The children were sound asleep, but Evadneโs mind was wide awake at that moment. Glancing at the wall clock in their room, it was already eleven oโclock at night.She carefully got up and went to the kitchen to warm some milk. Perhaps that would help her fall asleep quickly. After preparing it, she sat on a chair by the dining table and drank her milk.For five years, despite being alone in raising her children, she managed and strived to keep going.โMom, someone is bothering us at school. They said we donโt have a dad,โ Evadne remembered Elisa telling her yesterday.One of her worries was when the time came that someone would bully her children for not having a father. So, yesterday, she went to the Day Care Center to speak with the teacher of her three children. She informed the teacher that her children were being bullied, and the teacher spoke to the mother of the child bullying them. The bullyโs mother apologized to Evadne, and the child also apologized to her three children.H
That question kept haunting Gavin repeatedly. He still feels the pain every time he thinks that Isaac might take Evadne away forever from him.He let out a heavy sigh as he gazed into the distance, standing by the pool area of his penthouse.โIโm sorry, Gavin. But the truth is, I donโt know where Evadne is right now. I have no news about her. Neither do our other friends. After the sale of her coffee shop, three years ago, she vanished without a trace. Iโve tried contacting her through email, but thereโs no reply.โโIsaac, youโre my only hope,โ he pleaded. Hoping that Isaac would take pity on him and grant his wish.โEven if you offer me all your billions, Gavin, you wonโt get anything from me. And even if I find out where Evadne is now, I wonโt tell you. And if you try to find her yourself, letโs make it a race. Because if I find her first, I wonโt let her see you. Iโll pursue my own interests with the woman who matters to me. May the best man win,โ Isaac said, flashing a mischievous
โN-Negative again,โ Evadne said to her husband, Orion.Orion reached for the two pregnancy test kits she was holding, his lips tightening as he stared at them, seeing only a single red line on each pregnancy test kit. Out of frustration, he threw them. โDamn! Still nothing? Evadne, weโve been trying to have a baby for months now. And what? You canโt even give me that?โShe lowered her head. โI-Iโm sorry, hon.โIt was not the response he expected. It seemed like a volcano about to erupt at any moment.โThere you go with your apologies again. Canโt you give me a baby?โShe bit her lower lip and looked up at him. โWhy are you so impatient to have a baby? What can I do if I canโt give you what you want? Iโm doing everything I can,โ her voice quivered as tears welled up. She felt hurt by his attitude. Was having a baby more important to him than her feelings right now?She was stressed out too because she couldnโt conceive. She had been married to him for six months and had been living tog...
