Chapter 626 Caused You Trouble
However, they had already promised Charlotte that they would keep the marriage a secret. It would certainly be exposed if Marty went ahead and clarified.
Wasn't that going to break the promise?
Thinking of this, Evelyn sighed.
"Let's talk about this later. You should deal with the public's comments first."
On the other side of the phone, Marissa nodded her head.
"Now that your relationship with Marty is true, this matter is not so bad. I was so worried before because I was afraid that it was false. You also know that in this circle..."
Evelyn smiled faintly.
She understood what Marissa meant.
If she was only claiming kinship ties with Marty, she would have to face the consequences regardless.
But things were different now. She and Marty were a legal couple.
Therefore, there would be fewer reservations when Marissa dealt with it.
Then, Evelyn took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, Marissa."
Marissa nodded, and then she asked, "Do you know who leaked the news is? If you do, it will save me the trouble of investigating it. Regardless, contacting the person is typically the fastest way to resolve this sort of situation."
When it came to this, Evelyn's eyes turned cold.
"There is no need to investigate. I know who it is, but she will not back down."
Hearing this, Marissa was a little surprised.
"Won't back down? What do you mean?"
Feeling helpless, Evelyn had no choice but to tell Melodie's story to her.
After listening, Marissa kept silent for a while.
It was clear that she was also very depressed.
However, Marty was involved in this matter. He was, after all, a director of Energence International Crop, and could be considered one of her superiors.
Marissa was rendered speechless for a while.
"If that is the case, we will just give up on this case."
"Yes," Evelyn replied. They then had a brief conversation before hanging up the phone.
After that, Evelyn let out a sigh of relief.
She turned around and was about to walk back. Suddenly, she came to a halt.
Marty was leaning against the door frame with hands across his chest. Evelyn had no idea how long he had been there.
He was still dressed in his nightgown from last night. It dangled loosely on his body, exposing his firm chest.
The morning sun shone in through the window and fell on his face, making him seem even more dashing than usual.
Seeing this, Evelyn was stunned. After regaining her senses, she said, "Oh, you are awake."
Marty nodded, walked over, and held her from behind.
"It's from Marissa?"
He looked at the phone in her hand and gestured.
Evelyn wasn't sure if he had heard her conversation with Marissa just now.
She could only nod her head.
"I heard it all."
He softly rested his head on her shoulder, and his whole body was still as sluggish as when he first awoke. At that moment, he emanated a charming aura.
He whispered, "Evelyn, I'm sorry. I caused you trouble."
Initially, Evelyn's mood was a little depressed as a result of what had occurred today.
But at this time, for some unknown reason, when she heard his aggrieved words, the dark clouds in her heart immediately dispersed, and she could not help but burst into laughter.
"Yes. You caused me trouble. How are you going to compensate me now?"
Marty's eyes narrowed as he gazed at her fair face. Suddenly, he lowered his head and planted a heavy kiss on her lips.
Seeing that, Evelyn froze.
"Actually, I can make it up to you somewhere else, such as... in bed," Marty said with a grin.
Instantly, Evelyn's expression changed and she quickly stepped back.
Then, she looked at him warily.
"Marty, don't even think about it!"
Did he not torture her enough in bed last night?
Such wishful thinking!
Evelyn quickly moved away from him. As she walked, she said, "I am not going to blame you since you have apologized. Don't worry. Marissa just told me that they had an emergency meeting last night, so there's no need to be concerned."
At that time, Marty was still holding his arm and leaning against the door.
He looked like a lazy and noble young man from the movies.
Then, with a smile, he asked Evelyn, "Are you sure you do not need my help?"
Evelyn looked back at him and snorted.
"It's not a big deal. I can deal with it on my own."
In fact, she had a reason for not wanting Marty to interfere.
That was, she did not want to go back on her word to Charlotte.
If Marty intervened, it was uncertain whether their marriage would be disclosed at last.
After all, the paparazzi's capability should not be looked down upon.
Later, she picked up her clothes and went into the bathroom.
After getting changed, she did some makeup.
Then, she grabbed her bag and waved to Marty.
"I'm going to meet the crew. Rest well at home."
Marty asked, "Do you want me to send you?"
"Nope."
Was he serious?
Now that things had turned out like this on the Internet, how could he send her?
Did he think that the breaking news on the internet was not enough?
Marty obviously knew this as well. He rubbed the tip of his nose resentfully and didn't say anything else.
Evelyn took a few steps outside before coming to a complete halt and turning around. "By the way, to avoid gossip, we can't live together recently. I will go back to my apartment. If it is not convenient for me to return, I will stay at the crew's hotel. So don't come to me these days in case anyone finds out anything."
When Marty heard those words, he was immediately displeased.
His face darkened, and he said in a low voice, "No! I do not agree!"
Evelyn raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why?"
Without saying a word, Marty stepped forward and held her in his arms.
"You're my wife. What do you mean that I can't come to you? Why can't I look for my wife?"
Evelyn was stunned. Obviously, she was choked by his words.
She rolled her eyes helplessly. "There is nothing we can do. We are keeping our marriage a secret. So, we can't let anyone know about it!"
She then took out her phone, went to Twitter, pointed to the most searched photos, and said, "Take a look at this. Your little lover has now revealed all of our secrets."
"The people are already waiting for more scandal. If you come to find me, I'm sure they will find out. So, to be safe, you'd better not come to me recently."
Suddenly, Marty had a face as long as a fiddle.
"How long are we going to keep this a secret then?"
It had not been an easy process for him to marry her, but now they had to hide it from the public.
They were legally married, but they could not even meet.
