Chapter 20
In the corner, Ethan looked at the smile on Evelyn’s face and found it somewhat dazzling. The unspoken understanding between the two of them, circulating, made him feel like a lump in his throat.
He carefully recalled and suddenly realized that Evelyn seemed to have not laughed like this for a long time by his side.
From the age of sixteen, he discovered her hidden emotions. He went from initial shock to later anger and, disregarding everything, he finally broke through the last layer of paper window, attempting to force her to give up that relationship.
Evelyn, unexpectedly stubbom and unwilling to give up, was cautious every time she approached him, afraid of doing something to upset him. He didn’t allow her to be by his side, but even so, he always had a cold face when facing her
Ethan thought that by doing this, it would suffocate her emotions, but she persisted for a whole two years, and during those two years, he never saw her genuine smile again.
Now he has successfully driven her away from his side and has started moving towards someone else.
He could but he regretted it
After the song ended, Evelyn and Gabriel’s Interaction became much more harmonious, unlike the awkwardness during dinner just now.
“Evelyn, could I have your contact information, please?”
Another untimely male voice sounded, and Evelyn turned around to see another senior member of the Theater Club. She didn’t refuse either, after all, they were all classmates in the same club, and exchanging contact information would be convenient.
The party didn’t end until o’clock in the evening. Before leaving, Evelyn went to the restroom. When she came out, she saw Ethan waiting outside the
Testroom
She paused in her steps, but had no intention of catching up with him to reminisce. She was prepared to pass him and leave directly, but he grabbed her
Wrist
“Evie, I regretted it.”
Reluctantly, Evelyn had no choice but to turn around and look at him again. She pulled her hand away from his grip, and there was no trace of the joy he had imagined in her eyes. “So what?”
Ethan struggled to suppress the bitterness in his heart and explained, “Evie, I have divorced Sophia. In the past, I was too cowardly and believed that this relationship was immoral and not accepted by society. So, I forced myself to be with someone else and forced you to give up your love for me. I thought that everything would go back on track this way, but I was wrong
In the midst of speaking, his eyes had already turned red.
“I once told you to go and love someone your own ape, instead of me. But now I realize that I can’t even wait for you to fall in love with someone else. You have simply withdrawn your love for me and allowed other men into your lie, It’s making me so upset that I can hardly breathe Evie… The truth is, the person I love is you. I can’t just stand by and watch you fall in love with someone else
can you give me another chance?”
Ethan rarely cried. In Evelyn’s memory, the first time she saw him cry was when she had just arrived at the Scott family.
He wasn’t initially so attentive to her, as he didn’t know how to take care of children and had just taken over the company. As a result, he showed less concern for her. However, unexpectedly, she became timid and didn’t dare to tell him that she had caught a high fever after catching a cold while living under someone else’s rool
That night, she was burned to the point of losing consciousness and fell directly in front of him. It was only when he picked her up that he felt the unusually high temperature on her body. He hurriedly took her to the hospital.
The doctor said that if she was brought in any later, she could have become mentally disabled at best, or even lost her life.
That time, when she woke up, what sho

He did his best to treat her well, giving her all his love, just to tell her that from then on, the Scott family would be her home, and he would be her eternal

Promises were ultimately just empty words.
