Chapter 1181

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

Chapter 1182

Seth did not say anything. In this scenario, the silence was equal to acquiescence. Evonne sighed and looked up coolly at Seth. “Alright.” “However, I would like to make my stance clear.” Evonne’s eyes were cold and mocking as she gazed at him. “Seth Greene, I despise you.” “You never once protected me when we were together.” “Now, I’ve broken up with you and gotten married to Thomas. I have my happiness now.” “Yet, you use my child to threaten me so that I will consent to be the springboard for you and Chelsea to further your relationship.” “I truly despise you.” She stood and left after completing that sentence. Seth’s grip on the coffee cup tightened. His ink-colored eyes followed Evonne as she left. “I remember you promised to help me plan Chelsea’s birthday celebration.” “You should explain your previous plans to me now.” Evonne’s heart went cold. She had said such hurtful things to him, and she thought at the very least, he would pretend to be a little

Chapter 1183

He had no right! Seth’s heart lurched slightly. His heart stung when he heard how easily the word “dad” rolled off Rohan’s tongue. Rohan was his son. He was supposed to be the “dad” he referred to. However… The man sighed and banished those unnecessary emotions. At this point, he no longer had any means of turning back! He lowered his head and looked down at the child much shorter than he was. “Where are they?” “Here.” Rohan pouted and made way for him. Seth frowned and walked over slowly. Thomas and Evonne were lying side by side on the couch in the living room. The two had reddened faces and reeked of alcohol. It was obvious that they had been drinking and that they were both drunk. As Rohan took out a thin blanket and placed it over them, he said calmly, “My mom and dad were really happy for some unknown reason tonight. They made out for a long time after confessing their feelings for each other and then fell asleep after getting drunk together.” While

Chapter 1184

Seth carried Thomas to the guest room upstairs on his back. When he went down again to retrieve Evonne, he carried her into the master bedroom. Rohan noticed it, but he was too lazy to expose him. After all, the man was already acting as his free labor. It would be rude to be overly picky. The little guy smiled as he held his drink and looked at Seth. “Mr. Greene, I’m sure you did not come to my house at such a late hour just to take care of my mom and dad, right?” “Is there anything else?” “Of course.”The man frowned slightly. “Where is the study?” Rohan was stunned. Turns out the man was here for work matters. Hmph, he knew it! How could a man as cold-hearted as him make a trip over just because he was worried about his mom! When the thought occurred to him, he pouted his lips and pointed behind him.The man strode toward the study. When the man walked past Rohan, some unknown force seemed to possess him as he bent down and clapped a hand to Rohan’s shoulder.

Chapter 1185

The look in the man’s eyes darkened as the expression on his face grew uglier. Because the drawings on the paper were not the comics that Thomas enjoyed, but instead… They were Evonne. Every single one of them was a drawing of Evonne. In the drawings, she was smiling, giggling, and laughing. Although she had a cheerful expression on her face in every drawing, there was a sadness she could not hide in her eyes. Every picture captioned with Thomas’ legible handwriting: How to get you to forget about him? How to get you to forget about him. When Seth saw that this sentence was on every drawing, he shuddered violently. So… So, Evonne had been putting on an act all this while? So this was how Thomas was liking her. He did not know if he should be feeling sad or glad. The man sighed and put down the sketches. Honestly, he should be feeling happy that she had a man who loved and cared for her deeply by her side. Besides, although Thomas and Elijah were wildly diffe

Chapter 1186

“Zoey, stop talking to him.” Sally stared at Seth. “You should leave.” Seth stared impassively at Zoey before the corners of his lips curled upwards slightly. “If you regarded her as a friend, what you should not be doing now is standing here and yelling at me.” “Both she and Thomas are drunk now, and there’s only a child left in the house. You can continue if you aren’t worried anything will happen to them.” When Zoey heard what the man said, she had to fight the urge to sit on top of him so she could strip his skin back and break his bones! Sally pursed her lips and made the wise choice to stop Zoey. “Let’s go.” “No matter how much we hate him, he isn’t as important as Zoey is, right?” Finally, Zoey exhaled and glared fiercely at Seth. “You wait!” “I won’t let you get off so easily!” Seth smiled without saying a word. The only thing Sally could do was drag the fuming Zoey toward the mansion. When they entered, she turned around instinctively for another look.

Chapter 1187

Elijah was much calmer than she was. “This is his decision.” “Have you tried persuading him?” “No, I helped him make the decision.” Sally was at a complete loss for words. She cried for a long time. She wanted to ask Elijah why, but she could not seem to string the words together. Everything seemed to go in a circle, returning to its starting point eventually. Evonne and Seth had gotten to know each other because of her. Evonne and Seth had fallen in love with each other because of her. And now, she was also a part of the reason why Evonne and Seth had ended up the way they were now. She had prided herself on being Evonne’s best friend. Yet, she had caused irreversible damage to Evonne’s life. “Are you at the Yoder house?” Elijah sighed. “I’ll go pick you up.” Sally nodded. She nodded vigorously. She knew he could not see her. However, she was so miserable she could not make another sound. After disconnecting the call, she squatted on the balcony and rai

Chapter 1188

Zoey flew into a panic! Evonne’s condition was not looking great! Her hands trembled as she grabbed the doctor’s arm. “What happened to her?” The doctor shook his head. “You should get her family here.” Zoey pursed her lips. In the end, she was still unable to get a proper answer from the doctor. When she returned to the ward and saw Rohan, who had just turned five years old, she shook her head. She could not allow Rohan to face the bad outcome that would come out of the doctor’s mouth. As she closed her eyes, she thought of Thomas. Thus, she sped to the Yoder house after helping Rohan settle down. Thomas was still black-out drunk. Panicked and left with no other choice, Zoey grabbed a basin of cold water and poured it over him. “Thomas Yoder! Stop sleeping! Your wife is in danger!” Thomas was jolted awake. He did not have time to lose his temper when he heard what Zoey had said: Your wife is in danger. He was momentarily stunned before he looked at her. “What h

Chapter 1189

She was here to encourage Evonne to look into the future and face the rest of her life! However… Zoey held the diagnosis in her hands. She realized that there was precious little she could do. Evonne Turner, do you really like that man so much? Is he worth you suffering all these grievances and lowering yourself so much until you’re one with the dust? Is he worth you… harming yourself in this way for him? Emotions whirled in Thomas’ chest as he stared at Zoey. He did not know where the bravery and emotions came from, but he pulled Zoey toward him and held her in his arms. “She will be alright.” “She’ll be alright.” It might be the first time he held a woman in his arms, but he could not be bothered to think about that right now. He held Zoey tightly and patted her on the back. “Don’t cry.” “Cirrhosis isn’t an incurable disease.” “The doctor said she can regain her health as long as she cooperates with the treatment plan.” “Even if she can’t recover… she can

Chapter 1190

“Help me keep it a secret.” Evonne sighed and instructed calmly. “I’ve already troubled everyone a lot. I don’t want to cause any more trouble.”“No one thinks you’re troublesome!” Zoey gritted her teeth and rushed over to hold Evonne’s hand. “I know you don’t want Sal and the others to worry about you. I can persuade Thomas to help you keep it a secret!” “But you need to promise me that you’ll stop drinking, that you’ll stop mistreating yourself, and that you’ll cooperate with the treatments!” Tears shone in her eyes. “If you cooperate with the treatments, I’ll help you keep it a secret. Deal?” During these years, Zoey had watched as Sally and Evonne were troubled by love. The obstacle between Sally and Elijah was a grudge from the older generation. As for Evonne and Seth, it was a problem of their own! To be accurate, it was Seth’s problem! Grudges from the older generation could fade away slowly. Time would eliminate them. However, how could the man ever feel re
