Chapter 31

Warren had never seen this side of Evelyn before. He hugged her tight and soothed her. "Calm down, Evelyn. I've gotten the best doctor to save him. I won't let him leave you."Evelyn couldn't stop sobbing. "My dad wouldn't attempt to end his life for no reason, Warren. Someone must have told him about our relationship! If I find out who that person is, I won't let them off the hook. It won't matter who they are!"She was in utter pain, crying so hard that she could barely catch her breath. Yet, there was also a rare cutthroat glare in her teary eyes.Warren lowered his gaze while his cold fingertips wiped the tears from her eyes. His voice was slightly hoarse. "Don't worry. I'll investigate the truth and give you an explanation. Please don't cry anymore."He had never felt this way before. It was like a drive to resort to anything for fear of losing something.Warren knew he'd have no excuse to keep Evelyn close if anything happened to Simon. At that moment, he only had one though

Upon hearing those things, Warren's eyes narrowed with hostility. "Find out every person involved back then."Charlie responded, "Understood.""And look into who Evelyn has come in contact with these past few days." After saying that, Warren hung up and froze in a daze for a long time. He suddenly recalled Evelyn always had a recurring nightmare.Evelyn would often cry and murmur in her sleep, saying, "That's not true! I didn't do it!"She'd always break out in cold sweat, tremble, and weep in Warren's arms whenever she had a nightmare. He had asked her why that happened, but she never told him the reason. It turned out those nightmares were because she had been traumatized by her scarring past.The thought intensified the frostiness in Warren's eyes. He soon returned to the ICU with his phone in hand. That was when he happened to overhear Evelyn and Simon's conversation."Dad, didn't you always want to see me get married? You can't go back on your word now. Please wake up, okay?

Warren understood what Simon meant by that. He respectfully lowered his head and said, "What we said was the truth, Mr. Jefferson. You should rest up and recover. You still have many things to do."Simon met Warren's eyes before lightly nodding.…A week later, Simon was discharged from the hospital.Evelyn wanted to celebrate Simon's recovery and cleanse any lingering bad luck from his former imprisonment. So, she hosted a party at home and invited her best friends.Jazzie was fully on board with that. She especially got Simon to throw salt over his shoulder to ward off bad luck. She even chanted, "I banish you, bad luck, and call forth good fortune, a successful career, and a smooth life."Ethan nearly burst out in laughter as he stood beside Jazzie and watched her antics.He leaned forward to look at her mouth, which hadn't stopped chanting. He then teased her. "Jeez, what's with all these blessings? Are you going to say more? Anyone who doesn't know the situation might think

Simon wore the new maroon dress shirt Evelyn had brought him and matched it with some grey trousers. Then, he returned downstairs and merrily asked, "What do you think about me wearing this outfit to see Warren? It's his first time visiting, so I can't dress up too casually."While saying that, he kept checking himself out in the mirror. He genuinely saw Warren as his son-in-law and wanted to do his best to welcome Warren during tonight's event. He even brought out his best wine, which he had stored for many years.Evelyn subtly approached his side before smiling. "Dad, Warren has gone away on a last-minute business trip. He won't be visiting. Let's eat now, okay?"Simon shot her a dubious frown. "But he promised yesterday that he'd visit.""You said so yourself that he promised yesterday. The business trip was a last-minute decision he made his morning. He asked me to tell you about it, but I forgot."In truth, Warren hadn't gone away on a business trip. Instead, one of his bigge

Gertrude chuckled coldly upon hearing that. "Sure, you can separate from the family. But first, Evelyn must get with James Foley. She will be his third woman, alongside his wife and girlfriend. James has taken an interest in her. If she refuses, James will chop off one of Leo's arms."Simon was so enraged that his chest tightened painfully. How could he have such a biased mother? So what if Leo was the Jefferson family's eldest grandchild? Wasn't Evelyn a Jefferson, too? How could Gertrude have the audacity to sacrifice Evelyn just to save Leo from debt?Simon pulled Evelyn to stand behind him. He had never been this ruthless before. "What gives Leo the right to make my daughter pay for his gambling debts? He deserves to lose an arm! Besides, my daughter already has a husband, so you don't have to worry about finding her a partner. Please leave!"Tegan Byrne was the wife of Simon's older brother, Maurice. She supported Gertrude while watching the conversation unfold in amusement.

Warren's gaze resembled a sharpened blade. It switched back and forth between Gertrude and Tegan.Gertrude had many life experiences. Yet, she was so shocked by the former's imposing energy that she broke out in cold sweat. Still, she put up a calm front. "Evelyn was spouting nonsense! No such thing happened. It's all because Evelyn wore revealing clothes and attracted the attention of hooligans! She was asking for it!" Gertrude snarled as if she were talking about her enemy.A vicious glare came from Warren. "It's fine if you don't want to tell the truth. We'll just bring Leo here, but once we do, he'll lose more than just an arm."Upon saying that, he took out his phone and dialed Charlie's number. "Bring Leo here."Soon enough, two bodyguards brought Leo into the residence.Leo fell to his knees once he saw Warren. He pleaded, "That had nothing to do with me, Mr. Larkin! My grandma said Evelyn looks similar to your old flame, so she came up with that terrible idea. I was mere

Leo almost stumbled as he shot off the ground. He kept his eyes on Warren and muttered, "May I leave now that Evelyn has forgiven me, Mr. Larkin?"Warren barked, "Get out of my sight!"Gertrude dared not say anything while in the face of the horrifying Warren. She could only bring Tegan and Leo away.The hall resumed its usual silence.Simon sighed. "We were having such a great meal, but they ruined it."Evelyn consoled him at once, "Dad, I'll have the cook prepare a few more dishes. Let's continue our meal. From now on, all that has to do with the Jefferson family no longer concerns us. That's considered a good thing for us.""You're right. You and I won't have to wait at their every beck and call anymore. We'll live our own lives now," Simon replied.Then, he led the group back into the dining room and even welcomed Warren. "Hey, Warren? I'll have someone bring another set of cutlery since you've just got back from work."Warren squeezed Evelyn's hand as he spoke lowly, "Than

Warren petted Evelyn's head while talking. He also smiled with his eyes curved slightly at her. He spoke as though their home was their love nest.A sharp ache tore through Evelyn's chest. She recalled the time she left her family home. Back then, she had sacrificed so much for her family, so it was unbearably painful for her to leave.Her fingertips trembled slightly as she shot a bland look at Simon. "Dad, I'm still worried about you. I want to stay with you for a few more days.""What's there to be worried about? I have housekeepers here. You and Warren have just reconciled, so you should stabilize your relationship. You've sacrificed enough for me. I can't delay your happiness any longer," Simon assured her.…Evelyn later got into Warren's car after a little more convincing from Warren.That was their first time silently sitting together without fighting since they separated.A long while went by before she spoke up. "Let's go to a nearby mall. Didn't you say you were out o

Chapter 39

Evelyn wanted to stay a good distance away.Warren suddenly felt a weight in his chest. He tugged at his necktie to loosen it before entering the elevator first. He and Evelyn soon entered a men's clothing shop.The shop's sales attendant immediately noticed the duo's outfits and their commanding presence. She knew the two would be big spenders. With a smile, she approached them. "Is there anything I can help you with, sir and miss?"Warren kept a frosty demeanor as he headed straight for the couch. There, he brought out his phone to do some work.Meanwhile, Evelyn smiled, nodded, and approached the clothing display. She instantly noticed an ocean blue shirt. The color suited most people's undertones and gave a mature yet youthful appearance at the same time.She thought it would look good on Warren. The only issue was the color wasn't Warren's favorite. Evelyn knew that because she had never seen this color in his wardrobe.She picked the shirt up and looked at Warren to ask,

Chapter 40

Evelyn wanted to resist, but Warren was too good of a kisser. Her body softened, giving into the lust shortly after they started kissing. It was unclear how long had passed, but Warren gradually released her.She raised her fingertips to her slightly red and swollen lips.Warren's magnetic voice rang out. "Let's continue, Ms. Jefferson." Evelyn was so rattled she whipped her head in his direction. "Are you done with your nonsense, Warren?"A low chuckle came from Warren. "I was referring to trying on the shirt. You should get your mind out of the gutter, Ms. Jefferson."The sales attendant hurried toward the two once they came out of the fitting room. She couldn't help blushing when she saw Warren's towering and attractive figure. "This shirt suits you well, sir. Would you like to match it with a necktie?"Evelyn blandly suggested, "Let's try that one."She picked up the necktie from the sales attendant before tip-toeing to put it on Warren.Warren was cooperative the entire
