Chapter 558 He Came
Jeffrey would never believe that Evelyn and Anthony were together. Never!
However, when he thought of what Evelyn said to him that day, he couldn't help but feel the pain in his heart.
The faith in his heart started to waver.
Although he didn't know whether Evelyn liked Anthony, he knew how Anthony was.
He was a playboy, and he had been involved in scandals many times before.
The public did not know the inside story. The fans put their idol on a pedestal, so regardless of how many scandals Anthony was in, they still felt that he was the most kind, most devoted person in the world.
As a person who could be considered to be in the circle, Jeffrey more or less heard about him, along with others who came from a rich and affluent family.
The show business was neither big nor small. Rumor would spread like wildfire within it. Thus, Jeffrey knew that Anthony's reputation in the industry was not good.
Especially when it came to personal relationships, Anthony was a playboy.
It was rumored that there was a girl who wanted to jump off a building for him.
And there was also a rumor that someone pregnant came to him to ask for an explanation!
Humph! How could a person who could do such a thing to a girl be a good person?
No matter as Evelyn's friend or her former fiance, he would never stand by and watch her be deceived.
He must do something!
His eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness as he looked at the numbers in his mobile phone that had been added a long time ago but had never been dialed.
Jeffrey then dialed one of the numbers.
At the same time, on the other side.
That night, Evelyn just had dinner with Carrie and was resting on the sofa.
Because she had been banned from going out by Marissa, for the past few days, she had always been at home.
When she was bored, Carrie would come to her house to hang out with her. They would watch a movie or a drama, spending happy and relaxing days together.
If they were really bored to death, they would either play games or play chess.
Anyway, it was to kill time, so they just played at random.
When Carrie made delicious food, Evelyn thought that if it weren't for the lack of proper equipment on the set, she would love to have Carrie cook for her every day while filming.
But this idea was just a thought. Evelyn was an actress, and she needed to keep her body in shape.
If Carrie cooked for her every day, how could she lose weight?
Upon thinking of this, Evelyn could not help but feel distressed.
She stood up and walked to a full length mirror.
Looking at her slim figure in the mirror, she pinched the non-existent fat around her belly and asked Carrie who was washing dishes in the kitchen.
"Carrie, do you think I've gotten fatter these two days?"
While washing the dishes, Carrie looked back at her and said with a smile, "Evelyn, no way! You are still so thin and beautiful, and you did not gain weight at all."
This was exactly what Evelyn was looking for. She turned her head and made a kissy face to Carrie before she sat back on the sofa with satisfaction.
However, before she could sit down, the doorbell rang.
She was stunned and a little surprised.
She looked at the time. It was already eight o'clock at night. Who would come?
After all, there were only a few people in Flaucford who knew that she lived here. How could someone come to visit at this hour?
She subconsciously thought it was Marissa, so she didn't think much of it. She stood up and was about to open the door.
However, when Evelyn went to the door and saw the figure standing outside through the peephole, she was shocked as her facial expression changed.
Carrie, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, heard someone knocking on the door too.
She thought she should hear the noise soon when Evelyn opened the door. Nevertheless, after a long while, she did not hear any sound of people coming in, so she couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"Evelyn, who is it?"
Evelyn didn't answer.
Carrie walked toward the door while wiping her hands with a clean cloth.
Seeing that Evelyn stood still at the door and did not open the door, Carrie could not help but ask, "Evelyn, what's wrong with you? Didn't someone knock on the door just now? Why don't you open the door?"
Evelyn's face changed again. There was a complicated expression on her face.
After a long time, she took a deep breath.
She was mentally preparing herself to open the door.
After the door was opened, Carrie was also shocked when she saw the tall and strong figure standing at the door.
She covered her mouth and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Marty was dressed in a black suit today. He still carried night chill from the outside. Under the warm yellow light at the door, his eyes were so handsome that it knocked the air out of others' lungs.
He gave Carrie a cold look before he looked at Evelyn with disdain and said coldly, "What takes so long to open the door?"
Evelyn was stunned.
She thought to herself, "Can I tell the truth that I didn't open the door because I didn't want to see you?"
But of course, she couldn't tell him the truth, so she could only laugh awkwardly.
"Mhmm... there's something wrong with the door. I couldn't open it just now. Haha... I tried a few times before it opened."
Marty stared at her with his deep eyes. Evelyn couldn't figure if he had believed her words or not.
After a while, he turned to look at Carrie, who was still caught in a state of shock and said in a cold voice, "There's no more business for you here. You should leave first."
Carrie was a little scared. Although she knew the relationship between him and Evelyn, she didn't know the promise between the two of them yet.
Marty looked grim. Hence, Carrie was afraid that he would hurt Evelyn. Therefore, after hearing Marty's words, she looked at Evelyn hesitantly.
Evelyn's face darkened, but she didn't say anything. She just turned her head to the side slightly and said, "Carrie, you go back first. I'm fine here."
Carrie was still in a dilemma, frowning worriedly.
"Evelyn, you..."
Evelyn turned back and gave her a reassuring smile.
"Don't worry. It's all right. Remember to come back and cook for me at noon tomorrow."
When Carrie heard what she said, she nodded, picked up her bag, and walked out.
After Carrie left, Marty stepped in.
Evelyn had learned her lesson before and especially prepared a pair of men's slippers at home two days ago.
She didn't expect Marty to come, but somehow, she had prepared these things for no reason.
In fact, most of the time, she hated herself for not being tough enough. She hated to do these things, but at the same time, she could not help but do it.
When Marty saw the new men's slippers beside his feet, he seemed to be in a better mood.
He changed his shoes and walked in.
"Just had dinner?"
The smell of the food still lingered in the room. He could smell it without even looking at it.
