Evelyn knew what the bracelet represented when she saw it. She shifted her gaze to Warren to send him an implicit message and ask him about it.Warren smiled and stroked her head. "Grandma gave it to you, so you should keep it," said Warren, "Don't turn to me. You're the one who will have to take care of everything in the house in the future, not me."His words made it clear that they were a couple.They also announced Evelyn's future role and status.Every guest at the party was from a prominent family. They knew what was going on and immediately made their way over with their glasses to say their congratulations.Everyone wanted to take advantage of Warren's good mood and get on his good side.Evelyn smiled sweetly and replied, "Thank you, Grandma."Bonnie was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She immediately waved to the others in the family."Alright, I've given my welcoming gift. Where are yours?" said Bonnie before she warned, "Also, no one is allowed to be cheap w
"Evelyn doesn't need to do a thing to be a hundred times better than you are. What's the point of competing?"Warren's words got Clara utterly humiliated. She looked pitiful when she stared at him and said, "Warren, I never intended to put Evelyn in an awkward position. It's normal for her not to have any artistic abilities. Not everyone is born with that kind of talent. There's no need to shield her to that extent."Her words implied that Evelyn definitely had no skills.It didn't matter if Evelyn performed or not at that point. She would still be embarrassed.Just as Warren was about to refute, Evelyn put her fingers on his lips to stop him. She smiled when she looked at him and said, "I am a prominent lawyer. Why would I need the powerful Mr. Larkin to speak up for me? Don't worry. I won't embarrass you."After saying that, she turned her attention to Clara. "What competition do you propose?"Clara feigned being troubled. She said, "I only said those words earlier because th
Evelyn knew the lady in front of her was Clara's grandmother. By right, Evelyn shouldn't feel anything positive toward the elderly lady. Hence, she didn't know why she couldn't help feeling heartbroken when she saw Sally crying like that.Evelyn held Sally's arm and warmly replied, "Mrs. Miles Senior, I am Evelyn."When Sally heard those words, she wiped her tears off in disappointment. She held Evelyn's hand and sobbed. She asked, "Why aren't you Sonya? You look just like my Sonya when she played that song. Are the two of you—"Before she could finish talking, Clara interrupted. She rubbed Sally's shoulder and looked sad when she asked, "Grandma, do you miss Mom? I miss her, too. I'll take you to her tomorrow, okay?"Sally couldn't finish her sentence when she saw the tears on Clara's face.Sally didn't know why she saw Sonya when she looked at Evelyn. Everything from their smile to their style was too similar. That made Sally wonder if the two of them genuinely weren't related.
"Mrs. Larkin Senior, it seems you'll be disappointed. Evelyn won't be granting you that wish."Hearing those words got Sally to tug at Clara's dress for a bit. The elderly lady scolded, "You are such a rude child. Don't talk nonsense. Today is Mrs. Larkin Senior's birthday. How can you say something so mean?"Clara acted as though she was the one being wronged. She looked sad when she replied, "Grandma, I'm telling the truth. Back then, Mrs. Larkin Senior knew that I couldn't have kids, and for the sake of the family's future, she didn't want me to get together with Warren."However, Evelyn can't have kids, either. Don't you know about that, Mrs. Larkin Senior?"Those words got Bonnie's smile to stiffen.Her gaze burned with anger when she glared at Clara and said, "Clara, my friendship with your grandmother made me forgive you for your past mistake. However, I will not allow you to say such horrible things about Evelyn."How could you say something like that just because Warren
Hearing those words got Chets's dark eyes to suddenly light up with hope. He asked, "Where is she?""We haven't figured that out yet. All we have is a photo of a little girl. A reporter took a photo of her when she took part in a dance competition.""Send that photo to me," instructed Chet excitedly.His phone received a WhatsApp message soon after. When he tapped on the photo to look at it, his eyes instantly became wet with tears.That birthmark was extremely similar to that of his mother's.It was right on the girl's shoulder blade.The photo only showed the girl's back. Her face couldn't be seen.That being said, it was still obvious that the girl's figure seemed good. Her waist was thin, and she had long legs. A few drops of sweat were rolling down her beautiful neck.A happy grin crept up on Chet's lips.If that truly was his sister, then it looked like she was living well.Chet immediately ordered his men to continue searching for the girl.Compared to the aimless sea
Evelyn said, "I know that having kids is very important to you, but I saw everything you did for me that day. I couldn't hold myself back and wanted to be with you."I planned to tell you about it after you are discharged from the hospital. If you can't accept that, then we'll go our separate ways."Warren, let's try for a while. If I truly can't get pregnant, then I will leave on my own accord. I won't make things hard for you."When she said those words, she felt as though her heart was being torn apart.Her voice trembled endlessly as well.Hearing that got Warren's throat to feel a little dry.He held her in his arms and tilted his head to kiss her tears away.Warren wondered just how much Evelyn loved him. He couldn't believe that she was still thinking about his well-being despite her own body being in such an unhealthy state.She never complained about how he was indirectly responsible for all that damage to her body, either.Warren was so heartbroken that he felt as th
Whenever the words "I love you" were uttered, Warren's movement would become a little wilder. He did that to show Evelyn just how much he loved her.It was so strong and so deep that it was unfathomable.Toward the end, Evelyn became completely overwhelmed by the insanely wild passion.An entire night of wild lovemaking undoubtedly used up a lot of energy.Evelyn slept until the next afternoon.She felt that even her fingertips were sore. She was so exhausted that she could barely pick up her phone. That got her to cuss at Warren internally for some time.Just then, her phone, which was placed on the nightstand, rang.When she saw that the caller was Jazzie, she picked the call up right away."Jazzie," greeted Evelyn.On the other end of the line, Jazzie shrieked as soon as she heard her tired, raspy voice."Evie, why do you sound tired? Don't tell me you actually got back together with that scumbag, Warren?"Evelyn murmured a soft "Yeah," then informed, "I went to meet his
Ethan chuckled, "If you're curious to meet her, go ahead. As I've mentioned, I have the final say in my marriage, and I won't entertain any arranged ones." "Rascal! What's with your aversion to that girl? You used to carry her on your back when you were younger." "Grandpa, I've carried plenty of girls. Do you want me to bring all of them home? Anyway, I have things to take care of. I'm hanging up." With that, he signaled to Jazzie to end the call. Jazzie grinned mischievously. "Aren't you even considering meeting your fiancée? What if she's stunning? You might regret it." Ethan rolled his eyes at her. "Even if she were a goddess, I still wouldn't marry her!" Meanwhile, Jazzie received a WhatsApp message from her mother. Opening it, she saw a picture of a dazzling, carefree man. As she scrutinized the man's features, her eyes widened in disbelief. Wasn't this the same rogue standing right in front of her? Upon reading the message, her entire demeanor changed instantly."J
