Chapter 617 Let's Talk About It Tomorrow
But how could Evelyn be at ease?
She had been through so much, and he literally knew everything about her, including her family background and past.
Everyone knew about them.
Would she really get the love she deserved if she pursued without reservation?
Marty's eyes darkened as he noticed her hesitation. Then, he reached out and gently touched her eyes with his finger.
"Don't look at me like that, Evelyn. It will break my heart."
In the quiet night, his voice was hoarse, with a hint of a wonderful but helpless sigh.
It was the first time she had heard him speak in this tone.
He had always been high-spirited, but now he held her in his arms and sighed wearily.
For some reason, the rims of Evelyn's eyes felt a little sore.
She struggled for a moment. Fortunately, Marty did not continue hugging her, so she could finally stand up.
Evelyn took a step back and avoided looking at him. She simply lowered her gaze and forced a smile.
"It's late at night. Why are you bringing this up? I'm tired. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
After that, she turned around and was about to leave.
When Marty saw this, he frowned and subconsciously wanted to say something.
However, he abruptly swallowed back his words as though he had thought of something.
Instead, he just stood up, looked at her, and said, "It's late now. You can stay here tonight. I'll send you back tomorrow if you want to go back."
Evelyn stopped and thought for a while. After all, she didn't refuse.
That night, Evelyn stayed in the guest room upstairs.
After taking a shower, she lay on the bed and looked out of the window at the stars in the sky. At that moment, her heart was a complete mess.
That sarcastic voice from years ago echoed in her ear again.
She couldn't tell if she was now too stingy or too cautious.
But she was really too tired. She really didn't want to go through the agony of falling in love anymore.
She knew that Marty seemed to be cynical on the outside.
In fact, he was very filial.
If she really promised to get together with him, wouldn't it be painful for him when the time came for him to make a decision in the future?
And... in fact, she wasn't confident that he would stand by her side.
She knew that she shouldn't have such an idea.
Instead, she should have faith in him.
But she was really scared.
Also, she didn't dare to place a wager. Well, she admitted to being a coward.
All she wanted was to hide in a place she felt was safe and not leave her comfort zone.
Even if it meant she'd be very depressed, she'd always prefer to be this way.
However, her stubborn ego was like the fast-growing vines, and she couldn't overlook it.
That night, she had no idea how she ended up falling asleep.
She just recalled having a dream that night.
In the dream, there were no more dark days in her childhood.
Besides, her father suddenly came back to life.
Her family lived happily together, and her father was still Nile's most competent assistant.
As for her mother, she sat at the window adeptly and tied a bowknot for her.
And she was no longer the girl she had been a few years before.
Instead, she was a grown-up. The lives of her ordinary family of three were only full of sunshine and happiness.
Evelyn dreamt. When she woke up later, she discovered that her pillow was soaked with tears.
Because she had forgotten to close the curtains last night, the sunlight streamed in through the window.
Fortunately, the winter sun was not blinding. It was warm and comforting instead.
"How lovely!" she thought to herself.
Yesterday and today were both sunny.
Was this to imply that after every storm comes a rainbow?
As she thought about this, she curled up her lips and rubbed her eyes.
Just as she was about to get out of bed, she heard the sound of a broken bowl downstairs.
For a brief moment, she was taken aback. Subconsciously, she thought Marty had awoken in the morning and had inadvertently broken something.
In the next second, she was startled to hear a harsh sarcastic voice.
"Yo, I thought Marty did not settle down and went out every day recently because he had fallen in love with a lovely lady. It turned out to be the mistress!"
In an instant, Evelyn's face became pale!
This voice...
She would never forget this voice for the rest of her life.
It was Marty's mother, Charlotte Blaine!
She quickly got up from the bed and hurried outside.
At this time, in the living room downstairs.
Charlotte sat on the sofa, boastfully looking at the four people around her.
Two of them were bodyguards who Marty had ordered Aria to hire for her, and Evelyn did not know the young girl. Carrie was also there.
But Marty wasn't!
Evelyn's expression shifted, and she walked down quickly.
"Is she still sleeping? Do I have to go up and invite her down personally?"
As soon as Charlotte finished her words, she suddenly heard a clear female voice beside her.
"It's fine. I'm here."
As soon as she turned her head, she saw Evelyn walking toward her.
When Carrie saw Evelyn, she ran to Evelyn as if she had seen her life savior.
Then, Carrie lowered her voice and said, "Evelyn, she..."
Evelyn lifted her hand and patted Carrie's hand on the back, indicating that she acknowledged the situation.
Carrie then cast a sympathetic glance at her.
While Carrie had previously disagreed with Evelyn's and Marty's relationship, she felt that it was not too bad after Forbos's kidnapping.
Although Marty's temper was poor and unstable, he genuinely loved Evelyn.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she changed her mind, she ran into this old witch this morning when she came to pick up Evelyn back to the crew.
Yes. Charlotte, who was mean and sharp-tongued, was an old witch in Carrie's eyes.
It was early in the morning, and no one had offended her, but she came here and became enraged for no apparent reason.
She certainly resembled a wicked mother-in-law who had made life unpleasant for her daughter-in-law in the olden days.
Thinking of this, Carrie looked at Evelyn with more sympathy.
Oh, my goodness! Evelyn was so pitiful.
It was rare for her to fall in love. Besides, it was about to be successful. What should she do if Marty's mother objected?
However, Evelyn couldn't give it much thought at the time.
Previously, when Charlotte did not appear, Evelyn was concerned.
But now that she had come, Evelyn actually felt a sense of relief in her heart.
Perhaps she was afraid of her enemies lurking in the shadows, and she had no idea when they would harm her.
