Rowan then dropped the topic, and they both quietly ate their food.However, Evelyn found this meal hard to digest. As she ate, thoughts of what he said about the sensation in bed kept returning, making her uneasy.Eventually, Evelyn diverted her attention with a new topic. "Was Natalie's scandal your doing?"Without the need for confirmation, she was already quite certain it was him."Yeah." Rowan admitted straightforwardly. "Giving a quick end to someone like her would be letting her off too lightly. I prefer to torment her slowly. Ruining her reputation is the first step. I'll make everyone despise her and then leave her with nothing."Taking Natalie's life directly in a society governed by the rule of law was, of course, not allowed. But Rowan had ways to make her life worse than death. Exposing Natalie's plagiarism was just the beginning. He intended to make her unwelcome in the entire design industry. People would shun her due to her tarnished reputation, and no one would
No matter how bad he was in the eyes of outsiders or how harsh he was toward others, what did it have to do with her? She did not care at all because he doted on her and loved her wholeheartedly. That was enough. It was enough for her to fall in love with him. She would not regret it, let alone back down even if she stayed like this for the rest of her life. Rowan was very satisfied with her answer. “Let’s continue eating.”In fact, they were almost done eating. Evelyn really could not eat any more. She only took a few bites before putting down her bowl and spoon.Rowan had also finished eating, but only a few minutes had passed. He had asked Oliver to let Barry wait for half an hour, so what should he do with the remaining time?This was the first time Evelyn was spending time alone with Rowan as his girlfriend. He had something to do when they were eating just now, so she did not feel any discomfort. Evelyn felt awkward for no reason now that the meal was over. Were they goi
Rowan put his hands on the chair handles by her side, leaned forward, and stared at her as he said with sincerity, “I think it’s very appropriate for you to sit here.”Evelyn was puzzled. He smiled and said, “Even though I lead the company, you’re the one leading me, so you’re actually leading the whole company. There’s nothing wrong with you sitting here.”Evelyn felt very moved by Rowan’s words and was filled with his love.She had never thought that he would declare her unique and supreme status in his heart to her and Barry in this manner. Although they had only been officially together for half a day, every word he said and everything he did made Evelyn’s feelings for him increase and deepen quickly. Perhaps the intensity of their new relationship might be equal to that of other couples who had been in love for two to three years. Evelyn never understood the lightning-fast relationship between Jason and Miya in the past. Although it seemed beautiful, Evelyn had never though
Rowan glanced coldly at Barry’s embarrassed expression and finally announced ruthlessly, as if he was Satan from hell, “To tell you the truth, I will never let Natalie off no matter how much you beg. This is the best punishment for her and the best comfort for the grievances Evelyn had suffered as well!”Evelyn, who had been silent next to him, felt a lump in her throat and was very emotional. Evelyn was about to let go of the resentment she felt toward Barry and Natalie after two years had passed, but Rowan still thought about fighting for her in order to soothe her scarred heart in this manner. How could she not love such a man with all her heart? “Evelyn… Please help your sister, okay? You can’t let her future be ruined like this…”When Barry saw that Rowan had no intention of showing mercy to Natalie, he could only plead with Evelyn, who had remained silent the whole time while seated.Barry always believed that Evelyn had a gentle personality and was easy to talk to. She
Evelyn felt a little embarrassed by Rowan’s words. She wondered when she had become his woman when there had not been any substantial relationship between them. Evelyn quickly said goodbye to him after taking a look at the simple wall clock at the side. “It’s getting late. I should get back to work.”As it was indeed time to get back to work in the afternoon, Rowan did not try to persuade her to stay. He simply nodded and said, “Okay.”Evelyn then hurried back to her office. After she returned, Lara turned her chair and came over to ask her ambiguously, “What did you do in the big boss’s office?”“I had lunch since it was lunchtime.”Evelyn looked down at her phone, pretending not to see the ambiguity in Lara’s eyes. Lara did not give up and continued smiling as she asked, “Could it be that you guys were doing what grown men and women do? Which base have you reached?”Evelyn understood the meaning behind Lara’s words thanks to Selena. She could not help but think of the intima
Evelyn stood there nervously for a long time while holding onto her cell phone. She could tell that he was angry, so what should she do now?However, Evelyn really felt that there was no reason for him to be angry. She was not going to meet another man for dinner. She was just going to meet her best friend. Wasn’t this acceptable? Did he expect her not to have friends after they started a relationship? Evelyn felt that she did not want to bother about him at all after thinking about this, so she put her cell phone away and went back to focus on her work.On the other hand, after Rowan had hung up the phone from Evelyn in anger, he had been waiting for Evelyn to call him. Even though she refused to let him join in on her dinner with Selena, she should call him to coax him at least. He believed that he had already made it obvious that he was angry just now, so she should at least call him to tell him not to be angry. He waited until mid-afternoon, and he still did not receive her c
Selena’s tone was full of annoyance as she said, “I initially thought of giving Evelyn a surprise, but it turned out to be a shock!”Selena had good intentions as well; she just wanted to introduce the most handsome, stylish, and reliable man that she knew to Evelyn, but it turned out to be self-defeating. As for Shane, who was to be introduced to Evelyn, he simply stood there leisurely the whole time, looking at the three of them as if he was watching a good show. He watched as they got jealous, explained themselves, and felt depressed. Even though both Evelyn and Selena had explained the whole story entirely, Rowan still felt angry and annoyed.After glaring angrily at Evelyn, he simply turned around and walked away.Evelyn and Selena could only exchange glances as they were at a loss for what to do.In the end, Evelyn said to Selena helplessly, “I’ll go and see how he’s doing. You two can enjoy dinner together. I’m sorry.”Evelyn chose to pay attention to Rowan this time an
“Getting dinner!” Rowan announced angrily, then he placed her in the passenger seat, got into the car, and drove away. Evelyn had no other objections since they were going to eat. Anyway, she had already called Helena earlier to tell her that she would not be going back for dinner tonight as she would be having dinner with Selena. Not long after the two had gotten into the car and driven out, Selena called and asked Evelyn worriedly, “Evelyn, how did it go? Did you manage to coax him yet?”As Rowan was sitting next to her, Evelyn could not answer whether she had managed to coax him. Therefore, she hesitated without saying anything.When Selena heard this, she knew that they must not have reconciled yet, so she gave her advice on the other end of the line. “It’s fine. There’s no man that can’t be coaxed. Just one kiss will do. If he still can’t be coaxed, give him two kisses. If that doesn’t work, just kiss him all over until he’s no longer angry!”Selena’s voice was loud enough,
