Chapter 1073: What Could I Possibly Have to Do with Her
Evelyn's question caught Aidan off guard. "Why are you asking this out of nowhere?"
"Just curious," Evelyn replied with a slightly guilty smile.
Aidan thought for a moment. "Not really. Babies are a lot of work."
He liked his current, carefree lifestyle. Just thinking about a crying baby gave him a headache.
Evelyn felt even more desperate.
Joshua didn't like Phoebe, and now he didn't like babies either. How was she supposed to bring it up?
"Evelyn, you and Niall came over for a reason, right?" Aidan paused his chopping. He had thought it was about Niall and Lily, but now he wasn't so sure. Evelyn's sudden questions probably had something to do with him.
But Aidan couldn't figure out why Evelyn would ask.
Evelyn glanced at him and forced a smile. "Let's finish cooking first. We can talk while we eat."
"Alright," Aidan nodded. Since they were going to talk eventually, no need to rush.
With Evelyn helping, Aidan cooked quickly, and in about half an hour, the dishes were on the table.
"Aidan's cooking is unbeatable," Niall praised, looking at the delicious spread.
Although Lily could cook, she was still far behind Aidan.
Aidan glanced at Niall. "If you like it, help yourself."
"Don't mind if I do," Niall replied, sitting down and digging in.
The three of them began eating, making small talk. The atmosphere seemed normal, but each was lost in their own thoughts.
Evelyn nudged Niall, who was focused on eating, and gave him a meaningful look.
But Niall either didn't see it or pretended not to, continuing to eat without saying a word.
Evelyn felt helpless.
Aidan noticed their subtle actions. He set down his utensils and looked at them seriously. "Evelyn, just spit it out. We're family; there's nothing we can't discuss."
He was genuinely puzzled about what Evelyn and Niall had to say and why they seemed so hesitant.
Since Aidan had asked directly, Evelyn felt she couldn't waste any more time.
She put down her utensils and looked at Aidan across the table. "Aidan, I know everything that happened to you abroad."
Aidan paused for a moment, then quickly regained his composure. "So, is this what you wanted to discuss?"
He wasn't too surprised; he had been expecting Evelyn to bring it up eventually.
"What's your relationship with Phoebe now?" Evelyn asked bluntly.
Aidan let out a bitter laugh. "What kind of relationship could I possibly have with her? If you know what happened to me abroad, you should understand she set me up."
If he hadn't been drunk that night, Phoebe wouldn't have had a chance to get close to him.
A woman like Phoebe—Aidan never liked her to begin with. And even if he had, after everything that happened, there was no way he could like her now.
"But you did have a sexual relationship," Evelyn couldn't help but say.
Aidan's face darkened. "So what? Evelyn, you don't mean to say that because I had a sexual relationship with her, I have to marry her, do you?"
If Evelyn really said that, Aidan would suspect she was being threatened.
