Evelyn nodded, then looked at Rowan.Rowan was the kind of person who thought more deeply than others, so he naturally understood Helena’s thoughts. He chose to cooperate with her and nodded politely at Helena before he turned around and left.Evelyn and Rowan went downstairs. Rowan held Evelyn’s hand as soon as they left the house. Evelyn did not struggle or resist this time, but she simply let him hold her hand as she walked away with him obediently. The two of them stood in the shadow of a tree downstairs. Rowan’s palm felt a little cold, so Evelyn could not help but ask him, “Are you cold?”His palm had always felt very warm every time he held her hand in the past. He lowered his eyes and stared at her as he responded in a deep voice, “I’m not cold. I’m afraid.”He felt very panicked. He was afraid that he had not done enough to protect her well, and a layer of sweat broke out on his palms due to fear. His palms became cold after the cold sweat dried up.Evelyn felt her he
“Just cry this once if there’s anything else that you’re sad about. I will never let you cry again in the future.”Evelyn felt a lump in her throat and almost shed tears again. His words were touching.‘I will never let you cry again.’It might seem like a simple sentence, but it contained a heavy commitment. Sometimes, a person would not cry just because she had been wronged, but because she felt extremely moved as well. Evelyn’s eyes became clearer, brighter, and even more attractive under the nightlight because they were moist with tears. Sometimes, it was not enchanting eyes that moved people—clear eyes were actually more tempting, making people want to destroy their cleanliness and let those eyes be dyed with a different color because of them. Rowan felt that he could not stay here with her any longer because there were more things that he would want to do if he stayed. People were really strange creatures. They immediately wanted more once a relationship was establishe
Helena could see through Evelyn’s thoughts and deliberately emphasized that she would not entertain Rowan in the capacity as a future mother-in-law. She would have to make sure that she was satisfied before she would formally approve of him as Evelyn’s boyfriend. Evelyn was dumbfounded.Helena went back to her room after saying this. Evelyn smiled helplessly and returned to her room as well.Evelyn and Helen had a different opinion on a matter for the first time, but Evelyn could understand Helena’s mood, and she knew that Helena was doing this for her own good. After all, relationships, especially marriage, was a lifelong event. Therefore, it was only right for Helena to be cautious as a mother. When Evelyn returned to her room, she saw the two crumpled pieces of paper on her desk. They were the two drawings that Evelyn had thrown away earlier, which she had retrieved from the trash can.Evelyn could not help but smile when she thought of everything that had happened tonight.
Therefore, she was so frightened that she started crying. She hadn’t destroyed Evelyn yet, so she was naturally unwilling to lose like this. Natalie lived with Melanie. To be precise, Melanie lived with her now. After Melanie and Barry got divorced, she was left with nothing, so she could only live here with Natalie. Melanie was involved in Natalie’s plan tonight to find some men to humiliate Evelyn as well. Both Melanie and Natalie believed that Evelyn would be destroyed by the time the incident happened, and they would be extremely satisfied by then.Like mother, like daughter. Melanie and Natalie were both people who would do things regardless of the consequences. They simply wanted to make Evelyn miserable now so that they could vent their anger. They did not want to think about what Rowan would do to them later, or even how miserable they would be.In the end, they failed to hurt Evelyn, and Natalie was now in trouble instead.Natalie cried and went to Melanie’s room to loo
Melanie could only agree. “Okay.”Natalie got up from the ground and went to the bathroom to wash her tears away. She stood in front of the bathroom mirror, looked at herself, and smiled as if nothing had happened. Why did she have to fear Rowan? What could he do to her?In any case, she was the daughter of the Stewarts and the chief jewelry designer of Barry’s Jewelry.As Natalie had used despicable methods to find men to harm Evelyn, she assumed that Rowan would use her method as well. However, Rowan would not bother to stoop to such lowly means. For Rowan, destroying a person’s spirit was more satisfying than hurting a person physically. *Evelyn made breakfast after getting up early. After having a simple breakfast with Helena, she was ready to get to work.Just when she was about to go out, she received a phone call from Rowan. Evelyn wondered why he was looking for her so early in the morning, but after she answered the call, she heard his clear voice asking on the oth
In the realm of love, both parties were equal. No one towered over the other, and there was no such thing as being inferior. Evelyn found her eyes getting a bit misty at his words. He hadn't uttered any sweet nothings this time. It was just a few simple sentences, yet they were enough to move her."But isn't picking me up and dropping me off for work a waste of time? You have to wake up early and come to my place..." Evelyn said, expressing her concern for his efforts. His residence was originally close to the company, but now he deliberately took a detour to pick her up before heading to the office together.Seizing the opportunity, Rowan said, "So, if you move in with me, that would make our commutes more convenient."This time, Evelyn was taken aback. She bit her lip and stared at him. What was he thinking? They had just established their romantic relationship last night, and he was already inviting her to move into his place today.Rowan looked at her surprised expressi
Julian, who had prepared breakfast early and entered the bedroom, approached Nora with a smile and asked, "Did something good happen? You're smiling so much."Nora happily shared her excitement with Julian. "I think Rowan might have some good news soon! Last night, he spent the night with Evelyn.""Is there any evidence?" Julian found it hard to believe."Just now, I called Ms. Stewart. She said they were almost arriving at the company, so they were definitely together. Isn't it likely that they spent the night together last night?" Nora analyzed the situation for Julian. Julian sighed. "Can't it be that Rowan just went to pick her up for work early in the morning?"Julian knew what had happened last night. In that situation, Evelyn couldn't have been with Rowan in that way, especially since Evelyn lived with her mother. Helena would never allow her daughter to spend the night with Rowan.Moreover, last night, before going to sleep, Rowan had called him and briefed him on some t
Otherwise, how could Evelyn have encountered a man like Rowan, and moreover, be so cherished by him?Evelyn smiled and comforted Amy. "Amy, you'll definitely meet a man who loves you deeply in the future."Amy suppressed her own resentful emotions, returning to her usual tough workplace demeanor. She sighed and said casually, "Hopefully, but if I can't find one, it doesn't matter. I can live on my own."As the two walked toward the elevator, it arrived just in time. They stepped in, and not far behind them, Rowan quickened his pace to join them in the elevator.So, what used to be a harmonious pair became a trio again. Later, a few more people entered the elevator, and the three of them retreated to the innermost corner.During the morning rush to work, the elevator was still quite crowded. Evelyn initially wanted to maintain some distance from Rowan. However, due to the crowd, Rowan simply lifted his hand and pulled Evelyn into his embrace as he was afraid that she might get
