Thomas was still unconscious the next morning. However, his phone was ringing. Seth was calling him. Seth was sitting by the bed. When Zoey heard the phone ring, she thought it was a call for her. Grabbing the phone, she answered, “Hello, who’s this?” The person on the other end of the line was silent for a while. “Who are you?“Why are you with Thomas?“It’s only six in the morning, but a woman is picking up his calls. What’s your relationship with him?” Seth’s voice on the other end of the line was cold and suspicious. All this while, he had thought that Evonne married Thomas because she was both disappointed in him and she had feelings for Thomas. He had always hoped to help Thomas take care of the issues in Yoder Corporation as soon as possible so that Thomas could spend more quality time with Evonne. He would help her recover from her past trauma and forget about her unhappy past. How long had it been since they got married? Thomas had gotten himself another wo
Seth fell silent when he heard what the child on the other end of the line had to say. He could not argue against what Rohan had said. From an objective standpoint, Rohan was telling the truth. The call ended with him feeling bad about it. When Rohan hung up the phone and got out of bed, he saw the woman standing at the door. She was standing there quietly, and it seemed she had been standing there for a long time. “Give it to me.” Evonne’s eyes were calm as she reached her hand out to Rohan. Rohan pouted and instinctively hid the phone behind him. “Uncle Yoder gave this to me.” “You’re only five years old. You shouldn’t be using stuff like this.” Evonne’s voice was devoid of emotion. “Besides, you shouldn’t be in contact with him.” Rohan’s face turned pale. Evonne must have heard his conversation with Seth. “Mama, I’m not very close to him. I’m helping you vent out your anger.” Evonne pursed her lips, her arm still stretched out. “You don’t have to help me vent
Zoey’s words felt like a basin of cold water that was poured over him. Thomas, who had been so angry his face had turned red, immediately deflated. The color of his elegant face turned from red to white and then back to its ordinary color. Finally, he turned his head the other way as he said awkwardly, “Who likes Evonne?” Zoey pouted. “You’re trying to hide the obvious!“I guessed it long ago! You like Evonne, don’t you?” Thomas coughed awkwardly. “Your guess is wrong.” He turned to escape when he finished speaking and saw Elijah standing at the stairway. A nearly imperceptible look of awkwardness flashed across the man’s face before he turned and left. Zoey shrugged and looked at Elijah. “Your brother is not an honest man.” Elijah’s broad figure lounged lazily against the banisters. He gazed calmly at them as he said, “There are some things left better unsaid.” “How hurtful.” Zoey rolled her eyes and strode over to stand beside Elijah. “You could tell from a lon
The second she woke up from her dream, she saw Zoey’s sultry face in front of her.“Sis Sally! Do you know what a great person Mr. Moses is?” Zoey clamped her hands on Sally’s cheeks as she said solemnly, “He’s amazing!” Sally’s mind was still chaotic. Smiling wryly, she asked, “Since when has my husband not been amazing?” This rhetorical question… Zoey was stunned. She had planned to tell Sally about how much Elijah loved her and how she would not have known that he had done so much for her in secret. However, she did not know how to word it now. It seemed that no matter how she phrased it, she would not escape the outcome of them showing off their relationship to her. Finally, the woman let go of her hands that were holding Sally’s face. “Yeah.” Even if they would show off their relationship to her, she still needed to say it. “You already know how great your Mr. Moses is, so I don’t need to tell you anymore.“I don’t need to tell you that he’s always been secre
Downstairs, Elijah was sitting on the couch and watching Sally wash fruits in the kitchen. Just moments ago, the woman had been so sleepy she could not open her eyes when she asked him to go downstairs and ask Zoey and Thomas to lower their voices. Yet, she seemed so energetic now as she washed fruits in the kitchen. What power did Zoey possess to make this woman, who usually hated getting up, become so diligent? Finally, when Elijah watched Sally walk up the stairs with a large plate of strawberries, he could not help but call out to her. “I’m hungry too.” Sally pursed her lips. She was not in the mood to pay him any attention. “There’s some ravioli I made in the fridge. You can heat it up yourself.”Elijah, “...”It was the first time she treated him this way. His wife, Sally Summers, was a gentle, kind, chaste, and tender person. Whenever he said he was hungry, she would immediately race into the kitchen to prepare him something tasty.However, although she was now
Evonne pursed her lips. “She’s probably not going to come in today because she’s not feeling well.” “Hah. She didn’t even bother to take leave even though she’s not coming to work. Guess they were right when they say that women from rich families are different.” Evonne frowned. “What did you say?” If she recalled correctly, she and Sally had never revealed their actual identities from the time they attended the interview in the company until they started work here. How could the director know that Sally was a rich person’s wife? “Nothing.” The director’s eyes twinkled for a moment before he lowered his head and coughed softly. “It’s Monday now. Are you done with the birthday party proposal I had you do last week?” “It’s done.” Evonne let out a breath as she turned to walk out to retrieve the proposal she had done. She placed it in front of the director. “It might be incomplete in places. I look forward to any advice you have to offer, Director.” The director frowned a
Evonne was supposed to meet the client's fiance at two in the afternoon. As it was her first time interacting with the client, Evonne arrived at the cafe ten minutes earlier. To make herself seem even more professional, she even dug out her professional clothing from the bottom of her suitcase. She had bought this outfit several years ago when she accompanied Sally to Europe to treat her burn wounds. “Evonne, you look so good in this! Formal and sexy at the same time!” Sally’s cries of astonishment were still vivid in her memory. It was because of what Sally had said that she decided to use up two month’s worth of her salary to purchase such an expensive set of formal clothing although she was aware that the clothes she wore would not change anything. At least they could give her a boost of confidence. At the end of the day, it was her first time working in a line of service like this. She was extremely nervous. Evonne sighed and took a sip of coffee to calm down her
Seth narrowed his eyes slightly as a smile tugged on the corners of his lips. Her attitude towards him might be at its very worst now, but he did not feel angry. Instead, he felt somewhat relieved. It was how she was like when he first got to know her. It was her nature, her personality. However, it had been a long time since she had been so sassy. Over this period, besides accompanying Chelsea and assisting Thomas in work, he would follow her in secret whenever he had the time. He watched as she sank into depression. He watched, and although she seemed to be making merry with Sally, she still had an underlying look of loneliness in her eyes. He watched as she stood on her balcony and smoked cigarettes in the middle of the night. He watched as she hid all her emotions from the surface and hid away to cry. He knew he had hurt her too deeply and that he had lost all right to care about her. He also knew that Thomas genuinely liked her and that he was a trustworthy
