Chapter 557 What If She Doesn't Come Back
As the plane ascended into the sky, Evelyn promptly shut her eyes, signaling her less than pleasant mood. Dermot, sitting beside her, understood the silent message. She wasn't sleeping, merely avoiding conversation.Respecting her mood, Dermot held his tongue, suppressing his curiosity and concern. Eventually, Evelyn shattered the silence. "Aren't you curious about what happened with Blake?" she asked."Of course, but it seemed like you didn't want to talk," responded Dermot, who had grown to understand Evelyn over the years.Evelyn exhaled a heavy sigh. She hadn't wanted to talk initially, preferring to stew in her thoughts alone. However, the quiet interlude had somewhat improved her mood. "It's nothing really. I guess he probably saw those articles online," she said."He doesn't want you associating with me, right?" Dermot wasn't naive. He could guess the root of her conflict with Blake.Evelyn didn't contradict him. Instead, she laughed and retorted, "Who does he think he is to control me?" Despite their blood relation, she refused to be dictated by Blake."You don't need to be so hostile toward him. I truly believe he's looking out for you," Dermot gently advised, despite his discomfort at seeing Evelyn so agitated.Despite her adamant stance that Blake had no right to interfere in her life, Dermot could discern that Blake's words had affected her. Otherwise, her mood wouldn't be so stormy.At his words, Evelyn shot him a glare. "So you think I shouldn't hang out with you?""No, no, no." Dermot shook his head emphatically. He would never suggest such a thing."What I mean is, maybe you can have a heart-to-heart with him or give me some time. I'll prove myself to him," he said. He understood why Blake disapproved. Dermot had divorced Evelyn, which cast doubts on his reliability. Furthermore, their current societal standing was disparate. Blake probably thought he wasn't good enough for Evelyn. But Dermot believed these issues could be resolved."Pfft, it's not like you and I are an item. I'm annoyed because I don't like being manipulated, and this has nothing to do with you," Evelyn rebutted. After all, she and Dermot weren't in any kind of relationship. There was no need for such discussions.Dermot didn't take her words to heart, knowing Evelyn was just being obstinate. If she genuinely wanted nothing to do with him, she would've severed ties long ago.He understood all this, hence he chose to leave it unspoken."I get it," he said, nodding with a grin.Seeing him smile in that manner, Evelyn rolled her eyes and surrendered. "Forget it. I don't want to argue."She closed her eyes again, this time genuinely succumbing to sleep.Dermot didn't disturb her slumber, quietly requesting a blanket from the flight attendant and draping it over Evelyn. His eyes were filled with deep affection as he watched her, a love so evident that anyone could see his feelings for her.Meanwhile, Blake arrived at the airport, only to discover that Evelyn had already departed. He was left in a state of anger and helplessness. With a sigh, he boarded his private jet to Moris0 City.'It was all for Evelyn's sake, yet I end up being the one at fault,' Blake thought, feeling helpless.'But what can I do? Owing Evelyn an apology means I'm hardly in a position to reprimand her now.'With a resigned sigh, Blake realized he not only had to refrain from meddling in her affairs but also had to coax her to calm down. He pondered, 'If Evelyn gets so mad she decides not to go to Columbia, what would I do then?'
