Chapter 112

Author: Happy Breadwinner
Beverly staggered back. The heels of her stilettos caught on the weeds, causing her to tip backward.

The pain she expected never came. Instead, she fell into a warm embrace. Her eyes met Evan's panicked gaze. It was a look she'd never seen on his face before.

Weary beyond measure, Beverly felt her reason slip away. Her poor night vision made the figure before her blend into the darkness. His chiseled features softened into a blur, his dark eyes reduced to black and white.

The man of calm maturity seemed to be shrouded in a haze, and before her stood the radiant youth he'd once been. She felt as though she were seeing the Evan from a decade ago—unburdened by restraint, all bright confidence and boldness.

That was the man who'd loved her enough to take her to his parents, Reynard Gray and Heather, and sworn he wouldn't marry anyone except her. And he'd done just that.

Back then, her heart had brimmed with happiness.

Chaotic footsteps rushed in. Heather threw her arms around Beverly

    Tabitha continued, "And it's also unfair to Esther! Last night, I took Evan to the manor to see Esther and Harry, and she actually hit him!"Not only did she cover his head with a basin and bang on it, but she also shot water into his eyes with a water gun. Do you know how dangerous that was?"Beverly's eyes widened suddenly. "You brought Evan to my house without my permission? Tabby, you've gone too far."Tabitha pressed her lips together. She was aware she was in the wrong but refused to admit it. "You're the one who's gone too far by keeping Esther and Evan from reuniting."Beverly hesitated for a second before retorting, "Evan isn't Esther's father.""Beverly, stop lying to yourself!" Tabitha shot back, her voice rising slightly. "I've already confirmed with my parents, and they said Esther isn't James' daughter, but Evan's!""And Evan is sure of this too?""Yes.""What did he say to Esther?" Beverly's mind flooded with painful memories as she clenched her dress tightly, tr

    After Beverly left the government complex, James had someone check the surveillance footage. When Beverly had been standing at the door, he'd been on the phone with Gwen. He was worried about what Beverly had heard."You looked busy, so I didn't want to disturb you."Beverly buried her face in James' chest and listened to his strong, steady heartbeat.He gently brushed some stray strands of her hair aside and whispered in her ear, "I'll always have time for you."It seemed she hadn't heard about the heart research lab. After all, she couldn't keep things to herself. He didn't want her to know about it. Their work on the 3D-printed heart hadn't yielded any results yet, and he was afraid of giving her hope only to bring disappointment. All he wanted was for her to live a carefree life."You'll need to stay in the hospital for a few days. During this time, William will be responsible for Esther and Harry's safety. He's my comrade, so you can trust him as much as you trust me."Jam

    "If you don't know how to cherish James, you might as well step aside soon. Besides, that ex-husband of yours seems decent enough." William glanced at the news on his phone. "He looks like a big shot and seems pretty compatible with you."James shot a cold glare at William and pulled Beverly closer into his arms."Get out," he said with suppressed anger.He had truly brought trouble upon himself."Oh, I was just getting started. What's the matter? You can't bear to see Beverly suffer?" William said, utterly unruffled. "Fine, fine. I know better than to cross you." Only then did he walk out of the hospital room, closing the door behind him.Beverly noticed James was pale in the face and in a hospital gown. Her trembling hands moved from his chest to his face while tears streamed uncontrollably down her face."Will's just talking nonsense," James said, his heart melting at the sight of her tear-streaked face. "I'm really fine."He must mean very much to her if she was this worri

    The security guard stared at Beverly for a few seconds but showed no intention of letting her through."How can you prove you're Chief Bronson's wife?" he asked coldly."I—" Beverly stamped her foot in frustration. "Where's Wendell?""Mr. Cooper is unavailable."The security guard's gaze remained fixed on Beverly, intense and wary. His stern face, close-cropped hair, and the frightening scar on his forehead stood out, while his muscular frame strained against his uniform, making him appear truly intimidating."I have photos." Beverly quickly pulled out her phone, trying to find a picture of her and James together.Her fingers trembled slightly as she swiped through the screen, but all she found were photos of Esther, either alone or with her, and none of James.Suddenly, she grabbed the security guard's arm. "I really am James' wife!"The security guard flinched and took a step back, then brushed his sleeve where Beverly had touched him with an almost exaggerated disgust."You

    Evan recalled the countless times he had held Beverly, only for her to struggle and look at him with disgust. Fearful of repeating the same mistake, he quickly pulled her behind him and immediately let her go."Mrs. Bronson, is it true that Chief Bronson has been poisoned and hospitalized?"Microphones were thrust toward Beverly one after another, but Evan blocked them.In a daze, Beverly turned and grabbed the waiter's arm. "Where's the back door? Take me out of here, now!"Still holding her phone, she said frantically, "Wen, how is Chief Bronson? Which hospital is he in? I'll be there right away! Have Harvey and Wanda been notified?"Evan held off the reporters, his gaze shifting down the corridor as he watched Beverly follow the waiter and hurriedly disappear.The reporters quickly began to piece things together."Her husband is poisoned, and yet she still has the mood to dine with her ex-husband?""It seems the situation with the divorce agreement isn't so much that Mrs. Br

    Evan's hand hovered in the air for two seconds before he withdrew it.Anna and Beverly continued discussing their collaboration for the defense network. To protect Skyscape Tech's interests, Anna stood her ground and conceded almost nothing.Dish after dish of Alterran cuisine was served, and even though Anna gave her a hard time, Beverly remained in high spirits and had a good appetite. Her preferences, too, hadn't changed.Evan sat quietly, watching Beverly. It felt as though time had turned back, and they had returned to how things used to be. Beverly had forgotten his affair with Cindy. He suddenly thought it was for the best.At the Dawson estate, she hadn't refused his help either. He had rescued her from the snake pit, and she had even thanked him. Moreover, she hadn't declined his invitation for a meal earlier.And now, he was sitting at the same table with her.
