“Hey.”

Evelyn turned, midstep, and found Adrian approaching.

“Hi,” she greeted.

“Is everything alright? Are you looking for something?”

“No. I stepped out to take a call. I thought I'd go inside now.”

“Of course.” He moved aside to let a couple of guests pass before turning back to her. “But are you enjoying the evening?”

“Yes, I am. It's quite beautiful.”

“I'm glad you think so. We've put a lot of work into making everything come together.”

Evelyn glanced towards the hall. The guests were sett

  • The Wife He Never Knew    Chapter 80

    “Hey.”Evelyn turned, midstep, and found Adrian approaching.“Hi,” she greeted.“Is everything alright? Are you looking for something?”“No. I stepped out to take a call. I thought I'd go inside now.”“Of course.” He moved aside to let a couple of guests pass before turning back to her. “But are you enjoying the evening?”“Yes, I am. It's quite beautiful.”“I'm glad you think so. We've put a lot of work into making everything come together.”Evelyn glanced towards the hall. The guests were settling into their seats, while a few others stood around the displays, admiring the jewellery.“You've done a good job.”“Thank you.”They moved further towards the side of the entrance to avoid obstructing the people coming in and out.Adrian slipped his hands into his pockets.“You know, I really do admire your work. I've followed E.M. Jewelleries for some time, and I've always wondered who Evelyn Miller was. We hardly see your pictures anywhere. I've searched online a few times, but there's ve

    Evelyn rose from her seat and extended her hand to the man.She offered him a polite smile, though the puzzled expression on her face was still evident. Before he could speak, Damien stood and extended his own hand.“Good evening,” Damien greeted.“Good evening.”They shook hands, and the man returned his attention to Evelyn.“We didn't get a proper introduction the other day. I'm Adrian.” Evelyn smiled. “Nice to meet you, Adrian. I'm Evelyn. Evelyn Miller.”“CEO of E.M. Jewelleries?”She nodded.“I'm honoured to meet you. I've admired your work for some time, but I've never come across your pictures online.”“Thank you. I prefer to stay away from cameras whenever possible.”Adrian chuckled. “I understand. I'm the same way.”Their smiles grew more natural, but Damien remained expressionless.“Are you stalking us?” he asked, bluntly.Evelyn's smile faded. She turned towards Damien, a trace of discomfort visible on her face.Adrian looked at him. His smile also disappeared, leaving th

    Soon, it was evening. Evelyn stood in front of her bedroom mirror, making a final adjustment to her outfit. She chose a fitted champagne-coloured gown that fell just below her knees, with a modest neckline and delicate detailing around the waist. The fabric hugged her figure without being too tight, while the short sleeves gave the dress an elegant finish.She paired it with nude heels, a matching clutch, and a pair of diamond earrings from her own collection. Her hair fell in soft waves right above her shoulders, and her makeup was polished without being too heavy.She picked up her phone and checked the time.It was almost 7pm.A knock came at the door, and Cindy entered with Ruby close behind her.“Mummy.”Evelyn turned. “What's wrong?”The girls stopped at the sight of her.“Wow!” Cindy exclaimed.Ruby's mouth fell open. “Mummy, you're so pretty.”Evelyn laughed. “Thank you, my darlings.”“You look like a princess,” Ruby said.Evelyn bent to kiss her forehead. “You two are mak

    Evelyn opened the message from her assistant and tapped the attached invitation.A beautifully designed card, bearing the name of one of the most respected jewelry manufacturers in the industry. The company was preparing to unveil its latest collection at a grand launch that evening.She read through the details, taking note of the venue, the time, and the list of invited guests.It was a major event, one that would attract some of the biggest names in the jewelry business. Being invited was no small thing, and Evelyn couldn't hide her excitement.She quickly replied to her assistant, confirming her attendance.Damien, who stood near the doorway, noticed her smile.“Everything all right?”“Everything's great. Couldn't be better.” She showed him the invitation. “I've been invited to the grand launch of a new collection from Sydney's, one of the top jewelry factories in the industry.”“That's wonderful.”“It's a big event. I wasn't expecting an invitation, but I'm certainly not going

    By nightfall, Damien was beginning to suspect that his daughters had planned something.First, Cindy insisted he play a board game with them. Then Ruby asked him to help arrange their toys, even though Evelyn pointed out that the girls could do it themselves.Now, they stood in front of him with hopeful expressions.“Daddy, will you read us a bedtime story?” Cindy asked.Damien smiled. “Of course. Which story would you like?”“The one with the princess and the prince,” Ruby answered.Evelyn, who sat on the edge of the bed, raised an eyebrow.“Don't you want me to read your bedtime story tonight?”Both girls shook their heads.“No, Mummy,” Cindy said. “We want daddy to read it.”Evelyn looked at Damien, who seemed just as surprised by their decision.“Well, all right.” She stood and headed towards the door. “I'll leave you to it, then.”“Mummy, wait..”She turned back.“What is it now?”“We want you here too,” Ruby said.Evelyn blinked. “But you just told me you wanted your dad to read

    “We should get going now,” Theodore announced, rising from his seat.Damien also stood. “I'll go along with you.”Evelyn nodded, preparing to call the girls downstairs before they left. She had barely taken a step when Cindy's voice rang through the house.“Daddy”, she called out..She came running down the stairs, with Ruby following close behind.Damien turned, and a smile spread across his face when Cindy rushed into his arms. He lifted her and kissed her cheek.“What is it, sweetheart?”“Are you going home?”“Yes, I am. I'll come to see you again soon.”Cindy's smile faded immediately.“No. You can't go.”“Why not?”“Because I want you to stay here.”Evelyn looked at her daughter, confused by the sudden demand.“Cindy, what's going on?”Cindy slipped out of Damien's arms and held his hand.“If Daddy is going home, then I'll go with him.”Evelyn stared at her.“What do you mean by that?”“If he leaves, I'll leave too.”“Cindy…” Evelyn stepped closer. “Do you suddenly have a proble
