In the following days, Ethan did not come home, and during these days, Evelyn kept receiving messages from Sophia
Today she said she went to a couple’s restaurant with Ethan. Tomorrow she said Ethan is going to see the flower sea with her and won’t come back. The day after tomorrow she said Ethan is going to stay overnight at her house,
Speaking, he also pretended to accidentally send a photo of Ethan in a bathrobe, then retracted it after two minutes, and finally sent another message.
“Evie, take good care of yourself while you were alone at home.”
Evelyn didn’t have time to reply to her message because she was busy organizing all the gifts Ethan had given her over the years. She was also busy getting someone to sell the old house her parents had left behind.
She deposited all this money into a card. After she started school, she gave this card to Ethan, which can be considered as repaying him for his years of nurturing
After selling all of these, Evelyn had nothing left.
In order to earn enough money for her tuition, she started the days of working part–time, leaving early and returning late.
Due to the tight schedule and heavy workload, in order to make enough money, she worked three jobs a day, willing to do almost any dirty, tiring, or difficult tasks.
In just a few days, he had become haggard.
That day, when she was working part–time as a delivery person, she received an order for a birthday cake.
When Evelyn arrived at the address on the takeout menu, she realized that it was Sophia’s villa. It was only then that she remembered that today was Sophia’s birthday.
She hesitated whether to deliver it or not, but the order was about to expire. She had no choice but to bring the cake in. However, before delivering it, in order to avoid being recognized, she still wore a delivery hat and mask,
Knocking on the door, just about to have Sophia sign for it, but got tripped by a foot that came out from nowhere, and the whole person, along with the cake, fell hard on the ground.
The cake was smashed to pieces, and upon seeing this, several girlfriends who came out with Sophia frowned and stepped back. “Why did you have to meddle with it? The cake was perfectly fine, and now look at what you’ve done to IL”
Evelyn felt that someone had intentionally tripped her, but as she looked around, she Imew that these people would not speak up opologize repeatedly, but the people surrounding her refused to accept it.
“Is saying sorry useful? This is a custom cake worth seven figures. Can you afford to compensate for it?”
for her. She could o
Lonly
want to be recognized
The strong derogatory remarks in the conversation made Evelyn’s checks turn red, bus she couldn’t afford it now, and she didn’t w by Sophia, so she could only keep apologizing with her head down, but those people still wouldn’t let it go
“Someone like you, who delivers takeout, probably can’t even afford one–tenth of this cake even if you were sold!”
“Never mind, today was Sophia’s birthday and let’s not waste the cake. If you finish eating these cakes, we will let you go.”
Seeing their every word was sharp, Sophia’s face turned pale. She stepped in to mediate, “These cakes have all been dirtied, isn’t it not good?”
But others laughed, “What’s so bad about it? People like them, I’m afraid they’ve never had such an expensive cake before, Sophia, you’re just too kind. You should know that slis ruled your birthday party.”
“We didn’t make her compensate, we just made her broaden her horizons. She should be grateful to us,
Sophia was a
also convinced and nodded along, “Then you finishing these cakes and clean up the floor
As soon as the words fell, Elu suddenly walked out from huside and asked, “What happened“”
A familiar sound came from above, and Evelyn suddenly stiffened, quickly burying her head even lower, afraid of being recognized.
A few best friends quickly embellished the story and recounted it Afraid that Ethan might feel offended, Sophia hastily added, “We didn’t make her compensate for the cake, we just asked her to finish it as a lesson learned. This way, she won’t be clumsy in her future work. Ethan, isn’t that too much, right?
As the words fell, Ethan’s paze fell upon Evelyn. His eyes deeply settled on her, always making her feel as if he recognized her.
The next second, his voice came deep and heavy..
“Not excessive”
The three words “ice–cold” entered Evelyn’s ears, causing her heart to shake violently.
Her eyes suddenly turned red, but she didn’t lift her head. She just Laced everyone’s gaze and slowly endured the pain as she crawled to the cake.
She listened to the constant words of laughter in her ears, not saying anything, just squatting down and slowly eating the cake as tears slid down her
eyes.
As she was eating, she suddenly remembered that in junior high school, there was a boy from outside of school who relentlessly pursued her, even going so far as to make physical advances towards her.
She smashed that boy’s Lamborghini in anger, telling him to stay away from her.
The boy was furious and called a group of people to block her, demanding compensation, or else she had to agree to his pursuit.
At that time, Ethan was still abroad. Upon receiving the news, he took a flight for over ten hours and rushed back overnight. The moment he saw her, he immediately shielded her behind him and coldly stared at the group of boys, throwing down a card.
“Notify your parents to bring all of your Lamborghinis to our house and let our Evie smash them all.”
Although she was an orphan, she was raised to be vibrant and confident under his careful nurturing
He always said that our Evie did whatever she wanted to do at home, without needing to consider anyone’s feelings.
But now, he only had three words left for her when she was humiliated because of another woman
After delivering takeout for the whole day, Evelyn dragged her injured body back home and was about to go to her room to rest.
I turned on the light and saw Ethan sitting on the sofa in the living room, with a cold atmosphere lingering in the air.
She anticipated what was coming and spoke softly, “Uncle…”
He suddenly stood up and interrupted her sharply, “Why did you go to deliver takeout? Didn’t I give you money?”
He did indeed recognize himself, so why did he still make her eat that cake? Just to please Sophia?
She lowered her head and remained silent. The next second, his voice came through again.
“And, what does it mean that you sold the old house and the gift I gave you? W
What are you trying to do, have you gone mad?”
