Chapter 112 Just wait and see
As the crowd dispersed, only Evelyn and Dermot remained in front of Grandpa Doyle. The two of them looked at each other in silence, neither speaking first.
Seeing this scene, Grandpa Doyle couldn't help but feel frustrated. I've given you the opportunity, but you don't even say a word? Do I have to teach you? Grandpa Doyle thought inside.
He glared at Dermot irritably, then smiled and looked at Evelyn, "Evelyn, has Dermot been bothering you recently? If he dares to play hardball, just tell grandpa. I will punish him for you," Grandpa Doyle said.
Evelyn forced a smile and shook her head, "Thank you, grandpa. But I don't think Mr. Doyle would do that to me. After all, we are not very close."
"You say that. But no matter what, you two have a destiny. It's just that Dermot was too arrogant and didn't know how to cherish you before. Look, now he regrets it," Grandpa Doyle said, looking at Dermot. If it wasn't for the fear of Evelyn being taken away by someone else, he wouldn't have said these things.
Regret?
Evelyn looked at Dermot with a puzzled expression. What did he say to Grandpa Doyle?
Sensing her gaze, Dermot lifted his eyes and said, "I did wrong to you before, now..."
"It's all in the past. I don't think Mr. Doyle is someone who can't move on," Evelyn interrupted Dermot, showing no interest in what he wanted to say.
"Evelyn..."
"Grandpa, I know you don't want me to divorce him, but what's done is done. Please don't say that," Evelyn ignored Dermot and looked at Grandpa Doyle. "Besides, even if we divorce, I still consider you as my grandpa, so we're still the same."
"Of course," Grandpa Doyle nodded with a smile, but he didn't really feel that way in his heart.
They are not a couple. How can they go through thick and thin together in the future? Grandpa Doyle sighed inside.
But seeing Evelyn like this, he knew that her mind was made up, at least for now. He could only say, "Grandpa just wants you to be happy, and also hopes that you can give Dermot another chance."
"Everyone makes mistakes, don't they?" Grandpa Doyle looked expectantly at Evelyn.
Helplessly, Evelyn nodded. "Yes, you are right."
"So, are you willing to give Dermot another chance?" Grandpa Doyle asked.
Evelyn glanced at Dermot and said calmly, "Grandpa, I don't quite understand what you're saying. Mr. Doyle is no different from other people in my eyes. If others have chances, he has them too."
Her answer was clever, neither refusing Grandpa Doyle nor giving Dermot a real chance. In essence, it meant:
Dermot is just an ordinary person to her.
Grandpa Doyle understood the meaning behind her words, but he didn't mind. He laughed and said to Dermot, "Did you hear that? Everyone is starting from the same line. If you can't compete with others, then it's your own incompetence."
"Yes, I understand," Dermot nodded, feeling gloomy inside.
In a corner of the banquet, Natalie's gaze was fixed on Evelyn, and she was almost crushing the glass in her hand.
"Natalie," her good friend called her softly, trying to comfort her.
"Do not worry too much. Anyway that woman and Dermot have already divorced. They have no relationship."
"If only it were that simple," Natalie looked away, knowing better than anyone that Dermot had started caring about Evelyn. If this continued, what place did she have in his life?
Seeing her like this, her sister bit her lip and said, "Don't worry. I'll help you vent. She's just an ex-wife. What's there to be proud of?"
"That's not good. She seems to have a good relationship with Grandpa Doyle of the Doyle family..." Natalie said worriedly.
"It doesn't matter. Just wait and see."
