Chapter 655 Received Appreciation
As soon as he said that, Evelyn's face turned red.
Stuttered, she looked around, and it was obvious that she was in a panic.
Then, Marty continued. "Say it, and I'll accept your appreciation."
Marty's tempting tone made Evelyn's heart pound really fast.
Feeling a little embarrassed, she replied. "How can you yell it out just like that? It's so awkward..."
Unexpectedly, before she could finish his words, Marty shouted. "Wifey."
Upon hearing that, Evelyn was speechless.
Helplessly, Marty looked at her. "Look, I can call you that, but you don't want to. Is it because you don't love me anymore? Tell me, did you fall in love with someone else?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to tickle her.
For God's sake, Evelyn's biggest fear was being tickled.
As soon as Marty started to attack, she immediately began to giggle.
While laughing, she struggled in his arms to break free and run away, but he held her so tightly that she couldn't run away at all.
Then, Marty smiled wickedly. "Are you going to call me? Are you?"
"Hahahahaha... Don't tickle me... It's so ticklish... Hahahahaha..."
Evelyn was laughing until she was about to cry, but Marty still refused to let her go that easily.
As he continued to tickle her, he said, "If you call me, I will stop."
Upon hearing that, Evelyn had no choice but to beg for mercy.
"Alright... alright... I'll say it. Don't tickle me anymore, hahahaha..."
Immediately, Marty stopped.
Wiped her tears, she was laughing and crying at the same time.
"What are you doing? Who in the world force people to do that?"
Hearing that, Marty snorted lightly. He didn't think that he'd done anything wrong.
"You are the one who refuses to call me. Wifey, I have my ego too. How depressing it is for me to be like this. Why don't you say it for once just to satisfy your husband's wish, okay?"
When Evelyn heard those mushy words, she could not help but have goosebumps, not to mention others
Coughing softly, she said seriously, "It's too awkward to call it out over here. I just can't."
Hearing this, Marty narrowed his eyes dangerously.
"So you want to change the venue?"
Seeing that he had misunderstood her meaning, Evelyn quickly waved her hand.
"No, no, I mean..."
As she let out a dry laugh, she thought her reason was hard for her to even convince herself. "I just think that it's better to let nature take its course."
In the meantime, Marty's laughter became colder.
"I don't like to let nature take its course. I just like you to call it now."
Hearing that, Evelyn was speechless.
And she felt slightly annoyed.
If she could, she really wanted to post a message online right now.
'When your husband is too clingy that he keeps forcing me to call him hubby. What should I do? Waiting online, hurry!'
However, she didn't have the chance at all at this moment.
In the end, under Marty's pressure, she could only force herself to blurt out the word.
"Hub...by."
Her tone did not sound like she was calling her husband, but more like she was calling her enemy.
When he heard this, Marty felt a chill run down his spine.
With a gulp, he asked bravely, "Can you be a little more tactful and gentler?"
Hearing that, Evelyn sneered.
"Marty, don't you think that you are a little bold today?"
At that moment, Marty was speechless.
What did he do? Didn't he just want to hear a gentle voice of hers calling him 'hubby'?
However, when Evelyn said these words, he knew that he had already reached her bottom line.
Although he didn't hear what he wanted and was a little disappointed, he didn't dare to go too far.
As a result, he could only laugh it off.
"I—I know. Well, it's getting late. Let us go shower and get some rest."
It only then did Evelyn snorted lightly and did not say anything further.
In the next few days, Evelyn stayed at home to accompany her mother, occasionally going out with her for a walk, and they almost explored the whole Flaucford.
On the other hand, Marty was busy with his work.
It was the end of the year, so most companies were busy, and Evelyn only had a few days off.
She wouldn't need to work again until the 24th of December after she used up all her leave.
Soon, it was New Year's Eve.
Because Marissa had accepted a performance job for her on New Year's Eve gala, she could not spend the New Year's Eve with her family.
However, it was fortunate that the gala would end before 12 o'clock, and that she was the ninth performer. After she finished the show and rushed home immediately, she would be able to count down with them.
On the other hand, Iris didn't care whether she had to stay at home or not. After all, it was such a good opportunity for Evelyn, and Iris was very happy to see her daughter performing at the New Year's Eve gala.
Furthermore, the gala was held in Flaucford, and it was only a little over half an hour's drive away from home.
As long as she finished her performance and came back immediately, she could still make it.
Therefore, Marty had been waiting outside the venue that night.
It was not until Evelyn finished her performance that he picked her up and went home.
It was snowing heavily on New Year's Eve.
In the meantime, the Blaine family's residence was lively as well.
After learning that Marty wouldn't be coming back on New Year's Eve, Charlotte was delighted.
However, when she thought of Marty's personality, she decided to let him go.
Anyway, she couldn't control him. What's more, they would have gone into another argument if she was to call him home, so she might as well let go of it.
As for Roland, he felt a bit puzzled when he didn't see Marty.
Because he was very busy recently, he didn't pay attention to the situation at home.
At first, when he heard that Marty would not come back, he thought something happened. Later, after inquiring about it, he learned that it was because of Evelyn.
The others in the family were not familiar with Evelyn, but he knew what had happened between the two of them, so he knew her better.
Although he had long known that Charlotte wouldn't accept her, he didn't expect that it had become this way.
As he thought of this, he couldn't help but think of Sophia.
Previously, Charlotte had already met Sophia. The reason why Sophia hadn't come back with him was that she had something else to attend to.
However, Sophia's family background was not much better than Evelyn's. Interestingly, Charlotte never had any opinion on Sophia.
She even had some pity for her because she came from a poor family.
From this, he could tell that his mother wasn't someone who enjoyed using her privileged to bully someone of lower status, nor someone who enjoyed having power.
So, what was the reason she was unwilling to accept Evelyn?
With the thought in mind, he sent Marty a message.
However, if Marty knew the answer, he wouldn't have let the situation turn out like this.
In the end, the siblings could only shrug helplessly.
On the other end, New Year's Eve at the Jordan Family was also very lively.
And Marf was already one and a half years old. It was about the time he learned to speak.
Furthermore, he could also walk wobbly on his own now.
