Chapter 558 Same Here
Emerging from the bustling terminal of Morris City Airport, Evelyn and Dermot welcomed the breath of fresh air that greeted them. They had returned to Dermot's native Morris City, where a car was already waiting for them. Without a moment's delay, they climbed in and set off."Do you wish to head straight to your place?" Dermot asked."Yes, I need a bit of rest," Evelyn replied, nodding. Her thoughts were occupied with worry for Ruby, but she knew better than to act impulsively and alert Craig. Any sign of urgency might prompt him to tighten security, rendering a rescue mission nearly impossible.Meanwhile, she had yet to tender her resignation at the hospital. That was another task she needed to accomplish.The journey was swift, and they soon found themselves at the foot of Evelyn's apartment building. As she alighted from the car, she turned to Dermot, "Aren't you planning to take a break?""No, I need to drop by the office. I'll take you out for dinner later," he replied. The Doyle Group had deep roots in Morris City, but moving the headquarters was a colossal undertaking. His schedule allowed no room for rest.Evelyn understood the magnitude of his responsibilities and felt a pang of guilt. "You know, you don't need to relocate the headquarters. Morris City suits you.""Yes, it's wonderful here, but..." Dermot forced a smile, "it just... creates more distance between us." He knew that staying would be simpler, but the thought of being far from Evelyn was intolerable.Caught off guard, Evelyn took a moment before responding cheerfully, "Well, then you'd better work hard."She didn't insist on him remaining in Morris City. In her heart, she understood that if one of them stayed while the other moved to Colombia, being together would only become more difficult.Even setting aside their families' statuses, the challenges of a long-distance relationship were formidable enough. They were both workaholics, sometimes too engrossed to even check in. The slightest rumor could ignite unwarranted suspicions."I will work hard," Dermot assured her, nodding. Seeing Evelyn not pressuring him to stay brought a sense of relief and an inner smile. He knew she wanted to be with him, and that meant he had to go to Colombia.Shortly after, Dermot left, and Evelyn turned to enter her apartment. It had been a while, and she yearned for the familiarity of her own space.However, no sooner had she settled in than a knock sounded at her door.Upon opening it to find Blake standing there, her mood immediately soured. "What brings you here? I thought the great Mr. Kyte was too busy to visit.""Evelyn, I apologize for this morning. I overstepped. I shouldn't have interfered in your matters," Blake said, his pride deflating.The thought of Blake Kyte, the head of the Kyte family, ever having to humble himself like this was nearly inconceivable. Yet, there he stood.Facing Evelyn, Blake knew that unless he swallowed his pride, she would never seek his company again.After all the struggle to reunite, the last thing Blake wanted was for her to leave.Evelyn remained silent, her lips pursed."I don't wish to meddle, but I want to provide you with options, Evelyn. I've lived longer and seen more. Your divorce from Dermot indicates that you might not be right for each other. Forcing it could lead to unhappiness," he said.Hearing this, Evelyn looked at him. "Did you ever consider giving up when everyone was against you and Mom being together?""Never," Blake replied without hesitation."So, you never contemplated giving up because you knew, despite the hardships, you still wanted to be with her," Evelyn said, hoping Blake would understand.She didn't deny her feelings for Dermot. Not being with him now was her choice, but that didn't mean she didn't care for him."Evelyn, I..." Blake began, but Evelyn interrupted him, "If you've come just to say this, then please leave. I am capable of making my own decisions in life."Even if the road ahead was challenging, she was resolved to forge ahead without looking back.
