Chapter 494

Author: Happy Breadwinner
"Stop calling me 'honey'!" Beverly noted the hurt in Evan's eyes. "I'm James' wife, not yours."

Only indifference colored her expression as she looked at Evan. "I don't even remember your affair with Cindy. Since that painful memory was removed, I realized I've stopped loving you, truly and completely."

Evan met her even stare and felt an insurmountable helplessness wrap around his aching heart.

"No! That's impossible! You were so in love with me! You gave up on your studies for me and gave me children. For me, you… Honey, we've been together for ten whole years! How could you stop loving me?"

Unable to accept reality, Evan grabbed Beverly's hand and met her oddly calm gaze. There was neither sorrow nor any other emotion in her eyes. She studied him as indifferently as one would a stranger.

He staggered backward in defeat, his hand loosening around hers. He heard her say with an air of cool finality, "This is the end, Evan."

Evan fell to the ground in disbelief. When he snapped

    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. In the near future, they might even laugh and talk together again. Not to mention, she had borne children only f

    Last night, Beverly had clung to James, begging him not to leave. Her soft voice still lingered in his ears."Since I lost the whole of yesterday, I'm simply too busy today," Beverly said with a laugh, though a hint of melancholy lingered in her eyes.James held Wendell's notepad in his hand. "Shall we hold the wedding ceremony at the beach next to the Hanson estate?""Sure, that works," Beverly replied mildly."Do you want to have lunch together? Or perhaps dinner?""Honey, I'm afraid that's not possible," Beverly answered softly.Instead of forcing it, James simply said, "Don't get caught in the rain.""Alright."Beverly ended the call as the cab pulled up at Henderson Group. Howard had been waiting there for a long time.They unexpectedly ran into Evan in the lobby. He was walking out, accompanied by Anna and flanked by a cluster of employees. Meanwhile, Beverly and Howard were heading in.Evan's gaze fell on the bite mark on Beverly's neck, a flicker of heartache surfacin

    Beverly turned over, almost tumbling from the hospital bed. But James reached out and pulled her securely into his arms. As the water bottle clattered to the floor, he covered her ears with his hands.James glanced at Wendell, who was cleaning up the mess, and the latter immediately retreated from the room.Beverly clung to James' waist. She was still asleep but restless.James placed a hand on her back, his eyes darkening. She had been terribly frightened.Even at this hour, the noise and commotion from outside continued, with family members streaming in and out.After helping Beverly up, James took off her hospital gown and changed her into the clean dress he had brought. Then, he lifted her into his arms and carried her out of the room.At the far end of the corridor, a man was being forced to his knees by Ramon. Beside him lay an identical bottle of water.Moments later, in the car, Beverly nestled in James' arms, her face buried in the crook of his neck. She nuzzled against

    As James rose to his full height, Beverly was taken aback by his towering presence. Before she could process it, he had pulled her up alongside him as well.Now standing on the sofa, she was almost at eye level with him.James wondered if she thought calling him "honey" would soften him up. No, not this time!Seeing the indifference in James' eyes, Beverly wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her face against his shoulder."Where did you go earlier? Did you go home to see Esther? You have her baby scent on you. Does she miss me a lot? What about Harry? Has he finished his homework?"She tilted her head, her breath brushing against his ear. Her voice gradually grew softer as she said, "Hold me. I don't have the strength to keep standing anymore."James reached out and lifted Beverly into his arms. Cradled against his chest, she drowsily closed her eyes.He carried her to the bed, but the bed was too small for the two of them. As he tried to settle her comfortably, she clun

    The words caught in Damien's throat, reduced to a murmur only he could hear. He watched as James called for the doctor and had Timothy's cast removed.Timothy jumped and bounced around joyfully. His foot had only been sprained during soccer and had never needed a cast in the first place. In other words, Damien had used him.Damien watched Timothy walk toward him with his suit jacket in hand. Suddenly, he felt too ashamed to face either Beverly or Timothy."Daddy, Mommy said she'll take me, Harry, and Este to Cosmic Park this weekend," Timothy chirped happily as he grabbed Damien's hand.Damien gently ruffled Timothy's hair, his heart heavy with guilt. Afraid of meeting James' inscrutable dark gaze, he didn't dare look back at the hospital room when he left.James had seen right through his clumsy scheme, as though he were omnipotent, leaving Damien unnerved and fearful.Was there really no chance for him and Beverly? Damien simply couldn't accept that.On the way home, Timothy t

    Damien gently clenched and unclenched his hands into fists at his sides before taking the suit jacket."Timmy, have some apples." Beverly cut the apple into pieces and forked one for Timothy. "I was planning to visit you today. Does your leg still hurt?""Nope," Timothy replied and accepted the apple. He then scratched at his cast, though the gesture did little to relieve the itch beneath."That's good. I broke your toy robot last time, so I bought you a new companion robot. I'll give it to you once it arrives," Beverly said lightly.Timothy was overjoyed.James rested his hand on Beverly's shoulder and said, "Keep the chat short. Timmy has school tomorrow.""Okay." Beverly held the hand James had draped over her shoulder, then watched as he and Damien left the room one after another.Her gaze then fell on the brown suit jacket lying on the sofa."Timmy, I'm going to step out for a moment.""Alright, Mommy."After stroking Timothy's head, Beverly walked out of the room.A fi
