Chapter 624 Meet At The Restaurant
Melodie was completely stunned.
His face was as pale as a sheet.
What... what did he say just now?
Wife? His wife?
"You guys..."
She pointed her finger at the them in disbelief.
She saw Marty holding on to Evelyn's hand. Then, he raised their hands and clasped them tightly.
He smiled and said, "We're married. Miss Tuscan, will you give up now?"
Melodie's body trembled slightly, and she was on the verge of collapsing in the next second!
Fortunately, the few friends who came with her were quick-witted and held her.
Melodie was so furious that her face flushed, her eyes turned red, and tears soon streamed down her cheeks.
"You two are married? I don't believe it. This can't be true!"
Marty responded with a blank expression, "It is entirely up to you whether you believe it or not! I am not obligated to explain to you anyway. I hope you will no longer pester us. Miss Tuscan, we're all public figures. I hope you don't embarrass yourself and make things difficult for others."
After that, he ignored her and walked away, still holding Evelyn's hand.
His ruthless words pierced Melodie's heart like a knife.
She turned around and looked at their backs as they left hand in hand. Immediately, she clenched her fists tightly.
"Evelyn, Marty..." she swore in her heart.
"How dare you guys hurt me like that?"
"I'll never let you go so easily!"
......
Marty and Evelyn eventually purchased a ring somewhere else after leaving the store.
The rings were very simple. Although Marty felt that they were too simple and was not satisfied with it, he could not gain Evelyn's approval.
She coquettishly hugged his arm and said, "I can't wear it often anyway, so getting an expensive one is pointless. Let's just get a basic one that I can wear every day. Also, no one will suspect anything if that's the case. Do you agree?"
Marty could only sigh helplessly at her words.
He then reached out his hand to brush her nose and said with a smile, "What else can I say?"
Evelyn smiled. Later, they walked around until six o'clock in the afternoon and were hungry. However, they had promised Anderson and the others that he would treat them to dinner tonight.
So Marty texted in the group chat to meet at the restaurant at six in the evening.
In the car, Evelyn reflected on Melodie's actions at the mall.
In fact, she was still a little worried.
"Do you think Melodie will give up like this?" she asked, holding Marty's hand.
Marty had a headache and rubbed the space between his eyebrows.
"There's nothing we can do if she doesn't give up. Don't worry. I'll protect you and not let her hurt you."
Unexpectedly, Evelyn snorted and suddenly threw his hand away.
"Who needs you to protect me? I think it's better to protect myself."
Marty's brows furrowed when he heard that.
He had a creeping feeling that something was not quite right.
After, he turned to look at Evelyn and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Evelyn raised her eyebrows, and her tone was quite playful.
"Isn't it? Miss Tuscan used to be your girlfriend. At that time, you were also very protective of her. Look at how you're treating her now! Who knows if I will ever find myself in her shoes?"
Marty was taken aback and nearly burst out laughing.
"Isn't it too late for you to be jealous now?"
It was only after a long while that Evelyn came to her senses.
Hearing what he said, she felt a little ashamed. Her face flushed, and she snorted without a word of defiance.
"I'm not jealous. I'm just stating the truth."
Marty looked at her proud little face and remained silent for a while. Then he let out a soft sigh.
Afterward, he reached out to hold her hand.
But Evelyn was uneasy at the time. How would she be willing to let him hold her?
She instantly withdrew her hand.
When Marty saw this, he could not help but laugh.
"Evelyn, will you trust me if I tell you that nothing has ever happened between Melodie and me?" he asked, smiling bitterly.
Confused, Evelyn looked at him.
Then, he rubbed the space between his eyebrows in distress, thought for a while, and continued to say, "I admit that I used to enjoy playing around, but I do have a bottom line. No matter what, I will never go past my limits."
"You are aware of the number of women in this circle who are fond of me, right? Also, we haven't gotten together at that time. Well, although Melodie is annoying, she did have one positive trait."
"That is, she is a jealous and grumpy person. She wanted to be with me, but I rejected her twice. However, I found that the women who were after me were less when she was with me."
"I was lazy at the moment, so I thought about it and just let her be. That is why I did not deny it when she told people we were dating."
"In fact, nothing has ever happened between us. The closest I have ever gotten to her is when we attended a banquet together. As for the substantial relationship, there is nothing at all."
Evelyn listened attentively to his explanation. Frankly, she had to be lying if she said she was not surprised.
After all, this was not her first meeting with Marty.
In this circle, endless rumors were circling in her ears about Marty's promiscuous reputation.
But now he actually said that he had nothing to do with Melodie?
She couldn't help frowning and asked suspiciously, "Really?"
"Yes! It's true!"
Marty raised his fingers and said, "I can swear to God if you don't believe me!"
Evelyn was now a little fearful of swearing, so when she heard Marty, she immediately stopped him.
Then she pursed her lips unwillingly and said, "Okay, okay. No need to swear. I don't believe it anyway."
Marty smiled when he saw this.
He reached out to hold her hand. This time, Evelyn did not withdraw her hands.
"It is not just her," Marty said softly and solemnly. "Most of the rumors outside are false. Well, it is also my fault. I never bothered to deal with these issues before. I just disregard it because it's troublesome to clarify it."
"But don't worry. I didn't bother explaining previously because I haven't met you. It's different now. Since we are together now, I promise you that this kind of thing will never happen again, and I will not let these bother you. Do you trust me?"
Evelyn turned to look at him. His tone and eyes appeared very sincere.
In the end, she was still moved.
In fact, she also knew that Marty only looked playful on the surface, but he was a loyal guy.
She nodded and said, "Okay, I trust you."
Hearing that, Marty smiled brilliantly.
Later, they soon arrived at the restaurant.
Aidan and Natalia had arrived quite some time before.
