Semua Bab Sorry, Too Late: Bab 261 - Bab 270

The Solberg couple desperately hoped Evan would stay. That would make Evan look like he was still their adopted son, and they'd feel secure knowing that he was under their wings. Besides, they also harbored a hope that he would change his mind and rejoin the family if he stayed long enough. Perhaps they should start changing addresses.Evan saw through their plot immediately. Still, he smiled and declined, "I won't be staying here. It's not exactly the greatest idea."Stefan panicked. "Why not? Oh, you're worried about Hazel, aren't you? You don't want things to get awkward? It's alright. She's at Nine Courts. She barely comes back!""It's not about her." Evan shook his head, interrupting. He was about to say something, but Evan saw the anticipation in the couple's eyes and bit his tongue. "I'll visit you lots."He tacitly agreed that he was their adopted son. Saying otherwise would be trampling over the Solberg couple's kindness, and he'd make them sad. Although news about his

They thought Evan came in a hurry just because he couldn't wait to marry Roxanne after the divorce. Everyone was in agreement that Hazel was the one who dumped Evan. They thought he must be insecure right now, and the best way to heal was to marry another woman.The marriage contract was the best way to get married right away, and to them, Evan was the kind of man who'd pull that stunt.The Leightons' look of enmity and belligerence didn't escape Evan's attention. He frowned. "Hm?""I bet you've been waiting," Wendy said. She mocked, "You're impressive, Mr. Norwood. Marrying another wife right after the last one divorced you."Someone added, "Yeah. You set a great bar for us, having a woman do so much for you. That bitch stole our life-saving drug three years ago just for you."Another one jeered. "Gods, my heart. The man who pushed us into decline is right here, but we can't even get back at him. We have to marry one of us off to him!"The whole family was getting sardonic. Evan

They couldn't believe Evan actually had the drug, and there were two of them!"I'm not seeing double, am I?""Someone slap me! I have to be dreaming!"Everyone was breathing heavily, their bodies drenched in sweat. Some nearly fainted. Some actually fainted from disbelief.Wendy and the people who mocked Evan were grinding their teeth. They were staring at the life-saving drugs, dazed. Two of them. Impossible. They made a life-saving drug sound like something out of a fantasy because they thought Evan could never produce one.Then, he proved them wrong. Heck, he proved them wrong twice. Impossible."I told you I was giving it back, but none of you believed me. Now that it's right in front of you, you look like you've seen a ghost." Evan scoffed, his face a mask of disdain. Yes, these people were ignorant hicks to him.Life-saving drugs were precious, but they were nothing to Evan. Once he leveled up more with his Ninefold Arcane Arts, he could make drugs that were more invaluabl

This was nothing like when he had divorced Hazel. That had only severed his ties with her alone. But now, he had completely cut off all connections with Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya.Three years of entanglement ended by his own hand at last.That was why he had laughed so wildly. It was because it was truly over. From this moment on, the three heiresses would never command him again, nor would they have anything to do with him.The Leighton family, however, was completely dumbfounded.'Has he gone mad? Not only has he handed over two priceless life-saving drugs, but he's laughing as if he just gained the world!'But no one could really be blamed for not understanding. No one could possibly comprehend what he was feeling at that moment. Still, Evan did not need anyone to understand. It was enough that he knew."From now on, I have nothing to do with the Leighton family. I don't owe you anything anymore, and you don't need to vent your anger on Roxanne. I'm leaving."…At that, Eva

"What?"The moment Roxanne heard her grandfather bring up her marriage, the light in her eyes dimmed. She had thought it was something important, and this was it?At this point, almost everyone had been urging her to marry Evan. She had almost stopped resisting altogether.'Wait… why is Grandpa being so gentle? Shouldn't he still be disgusted with me?'Seeing the rare warmth on Thaddeus' face left Roxanne completely at a loss.This time, Thaddeus treated her exceptionally well. And it wasn't just him—everyone in the family greeted her with smiles. Even Wendy, who had always been hostile toward her, was suddenly attentive and caring, constantly checking in on her. She even apologized for her past behavior and asked for forgiveness.Roxanne was completely stunned—her family's attitude had flipped overnight. But instead of feeling relieved, she only felt more unsettled."Let me make this clear, Roxanne," Thaddeus said. "Not only do you have to marry Evan, you need to win his hear
