Chapter 190 But You Have Me
In her heart, Dermot was never a softhearted person. Dermot fell silent, not understanding the meaning behind Evelyn. "I will present the evidence of her hiring a hitman, but the Stanley family will intervene, so I speculate that she won't go to jail."
"Mr. Doyle, is there no way to deal with someone if you want to?" Evelyn felt that Dermot was just making excuses.
"Evey, did I ever tell you about my childhood? Are you interested in hearing?" He spoke up, looking at Evelyn as if lost in thought.
Evelyn didn't understand why he brought this up all of a sudden, thinking he was trying to change the subject. While she was annoyed, she couldn't refuse either.
Because she was interested in Dermot's past.
Back then, Dermot's father and Keith's mother ran away, leaving him and his mother behind. Dermot was still very young at the time, but he could sense the changes happening in his family. He was very understanding and didn't ask any questions.
Every day, he studied hard, hoping to make his mother happy with good grades.
His mother still ended up taking her own life one night, leaving Dermot alone.
And the reason why Dermot was afraid of darkness was because he woke up to find his mother's cold, lifeless body. Whenever darkness fell, he felt that something bad would happen and would be filled with fear. After his mother's death, Grandpa Doyle took him in at Doyal Mansion, where Dermot met Natalie.
The childhood Natalie was a lively and adorable child. After Dermot moved there, she would often come to visit him.
Playing, for Dermot at that time, was like a beam of light that pulled him back from the darkness of reality.
So, despite Natalie doing many things he didn't like, he couldn't bring to harm her. she was one of his few childhood playmates.
After Dermot finished speaking, Evelyn's mood was. She never expected Dermot's childhood to be so painful, nor could she imagine how a young child like him could face his mother's suicide right.
She felt sorry for him.
"So, Evey, this time let me spare her, alright? Consider it a repayment for her past affection," Dermot looked at her, seeking Evelyn's consent.
Facing Dermot's pleading gaze, Evelyn was surprised. "This is your affair, there's no need to ask me."
"No, to me, you are more important than her," Dermot shook his head, "If you insist on dealing with her, I can still help you."
To him, Natalie was not as important as Evelyn.
Evelyn felt like she had no choice. Dermot had said it like that, could she still go against Natalie?
Obviously, she couldn't.
She looked at him and asked, "What if there's a next time? Will you still protect her?"
"Of course not, this is the last time," the man spoke, his gaze firm.
Evelyn sighed and nodded, "Alright, then give her another chance."
Dermot had helped her a lot, and Evelyn felt that even if she gave him face, it wouldn't be a big deal. Besides, based on her understanding of Natalie, that woman would never stop at this.
She believed that Natalie would continue to make a move, and the next time, Dermot would have no reason to protect her.
"Evey, thank you," Dermot was very pleased.
Evelyn felt uncomfortable under his intense gaze and shifted her gaze to the side, "No need, anyway, Natalie is marrying into the Stanley family, and for now, there's nothing I can do about her."
"But you have me. If you need it, I can help," Dermot said.
Before Evelyn could respond, he continued, "But you don't need to because you care about my feelings, and I'm grateful."
