Chapter 657 Have a Meal Together
"No need." Dermot refused, preparing to bypass Evelyn and get into the car.
However, Evelyn didn't give up. She looked at Dermot and continued, "Are you afraid of me?"
"Afraid of you?" Dermot sneered, "There's nothing about you that I should be afraid of."
"Since you're not afraid, why not have a meal with me? Although we're divorced, it doesn't mean we should never see each other again, right?" Evelyn looked at him, trying to see a hint of strangeness in Dermot's face.
But there was none. Dermot was very calm, without any extra emotions.
"It's not that I'm afraid. It's that I don't want to. You need to understand the difference between the two." Dermot looked at Evelyn, feeling a bit annoyed.
Evelyn pursed her lips and continued, "Then you should dine with me all the more. If you want to compete for the position of the Doyle family heir, since you can collaborate with the Martin family, you can also collaborate with the Kyte family."
Dermot frowned. "Can you represent the Kyte family?"
"Of course, everyone in Golombia knows that I am the next heir of the Kyte family." Evelyn nodded.
Dermot pondered, seemingly considering this possibility.
Seeing Dermot like this, Evelyn felt a bit uncomfortable.
Evelyn never expected that one day, she would need to propose an exchange for benefits in order to have a meal with Dermot.
After a while, she saw Dermot nod. "Fine, but it'll have to be my treat."
He didn't want to owe Evelyn too much, always feeling that it was better to keep a certain distance from her.
Evelyn didn't care who treated whom; what was important was the opportunity to have a private conversation with Dermot.
She got into Dermot's car and headed to the nearest restaurant.
In the car, Evelyn thought of the scene where Dermot and Margaret came and went together that day, feeling a bit sour in her heart. "What's your relationship with Margaret?"
"That's none of your business," Dermot replied coldly.
Evelyn was speechless but couldn't help but sigh. "You are now the same as when we first met."
Dermot didn't say anything. He only knew from the information that Evelyn was his ex-wife. They had been married for two years without meeting each other. After the divorce, he started to get entangled with Evelyn. As for the details, he was not clear.
Dermot didn't want anyone to find out about his amnesia, so he chose to remain silent at this time.
"I remember you said you fell in love with me at first sight." Evelyn chuckled lightly, not sure if she was mocking herself or Dermot.
Dermot frowned. He didn't think he was the kind of person who would say such things.
Seeing no reaction from Dermot, Evelyn couldn't help but feel a bit frustrated. "Dermot, if you are trying to protect me, it's really not necessary."
The car stopped, and they arrived at the restaurant's entrance.
Dermot was puzzled by Evelyn's words. "What do you mean?"
Evelyn glanced outside the car window and opened the door. "Let's talk inside the restaurant."
If Dermot was really trying to protect her, he would be very cautious. In an uncertain place, Dermot wouldn't tell the truth.
Dermot followed Evelyn into the restaurant, still not quite understanding what Evelyn had just said.
Evelyn chose a private room, ordered food, and then asked the waiter to leave them alone.
In the private room, there were only the two of them. Evelyn spoke up, "You can speak freely here. There's no one else and no recording devices."
Dermot frowned, puzzled.
"I remember the last time your father came back. You deliberately picked a fight with me to protect my safety, which led to our breakup that time," Evelyn said, feeling that she should be very clear by now.
Indeed, it was very clear. Dermot also understood the meaning behind her words and couldn't help but chuckle.
