Chapter 397 What makes him worth plotting for?
"It's me."
Aidan's magnetic voice came through the phone. Despite being separated by the phone, Evelyn could still feel the warmth coming from him, which made her uneasy mood somewhat better.
"Aidan, how have you been lately? When will you come back?" Evelyn asked with a smile, without questioning why Aidan didn't contact her or if he had moved on.
"I'm doing fine. The subsidiary in the overseas branch has been established smoothly, and everything is on track. It may take some time for me to come back." He spoke as if he was truly setting up a branch company.
Evelyn laughed at his words, about to continue asking, when Aidan asked her, "You broke up with Dermot, right?"
Although he didn't know when they got together, now that he knew they had broken up, it didn't stop him from calling to ask.
Listening to the sound in his voice, Evelyn felt a mix of relief and gratitude for Aidan's concern. She replied, "Yes, we did."
She mentioned Dermot, and Evelyn's originally radiant smile inevitably faded slightly. "Hmm, you know about him too?"
It seems like the news has spread widely, even reaching Aidan overseas.
At this moment, Evelyn was unaware that although Aidan had gone abroad, he was still keeping an eye on her. Apart from entrusting Niall to take care of her, he had also arranged for someone to protect Evelyn.
However, he couldn't bring himself to say any of these things.
"You and him made quite a scene, it seems. Hard not to know," Aidan chuckled lightly, with a hint of teasing in his tone.
Evelyn didn't know how to explain the situation between her and Dermot. Should she bring up Ava's situation?
If she did, Aidan would probably dislike Dermot even more, right?
She didn't know why she still cared about these things, but subconsciously, she didn't want Aidan to dislike Dermot even more.
Forced a laugh, she finally explained, "We weren't compatible, so we broke up."
"Is it really just a matter of compatibility? He didn't mistreat you?" Aidan furrowed his brow on the other end of the phone, showing some disbelief.
Evelyn's heart skipped a beat, but over the phone, no one could see her expression. "Of course not, how could he mistreat me? Don't you know what kind of person I am?"
Aidan fell silent, carefully thinking it through. Evelyn wasn't the type to be mistreated by others.
Relieved, he finally said, "I've told you before that he's not right for you. Now you know, right?"
"Yes, I know." She felt some regret in her heart too. If only she had listened to Aidan in the first place.
Unfortunately, there was no regret medicine in the world, and back then, she wouldn't have known she was being used as a substitute by someone else.
"Now that you know, keep your distance from him. I'll come back as soon as possible, just in case anyone mistreats you," Aidan decided to return earlier, afraid that Evelyn might be mistreated.
Evelyn nodded in agreement. She had already broken up with Dermot, so naturally, she had to maintain distance.
After giving a few more instructions, Aidan was about to hang up the phone, but at this moment, Evelyn suddenly said, "Aidan, did Grandpa say anything to you before he passed away?"
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Aidan seemed to not understand.
Evelyn took a deep breath and told him about Greg's situation, "I know he had a motive, but I don't know what it is."
"Aidan, I'm just an ordinary person from Tara Village. What could be worth scheming for in me?" She actually wanted to mention not only Greg but also Dermot's grandfather. But she thought better of it, what if she was overthinking things?
Perhaps Grandpa Doyle really just liked her and had no other motives?
After she finished speaking, Aidan on the other end of the phone remained silent for a long time. If Evelyn were in front of him, she would have noticed that this man's darkened expression was terrifying.
