Chapter 21
And now, he cried again, in front of her, his voice choked, begging her to give him another chance.
Evelyn looked at him and let out a long sigh.
“Ethan.” Hearing his name, Ethan lifted his head and looked into her eyes, which were filled with pleading and hope, but in her eyes, there was confusion.
“If you loved me, then why did you force me to eat those spicy dishes that I couldn’t handle, even though you knew I had a stomach problem, just because of a comment from Sophia?”
“Why did you choose to save Sophia and never came to see me after that car accident we had together? Do you know what happened before the accident that day? She said I was delusional, having feelings for my own uncle, she said I was shameless, she said my feelings for you were disgusting, Ethan, but you still chose her in the end.”
The hope in his eyes shattered little by little under her two questions, and he couldn’t explain it.
Just as Ethan himself does not know now, the Erhan of that time did not know what kind of mentality he was acting out.
Even if you wanted to make her give up, there are so many ways, far too many, that don’t require using these two methods to hurt Evelyn
Seeing him tall silent, Evelyn sneered, “You see, you can’t even answer it yourself. Ethan, do you really love me? Or are you just used to having me around, with only you in my eyes? And now that I suddenly give up, you’re just not used to it, right?
“No, Evie, I really liked you!” Ethan hurriedly tried to explain, but the moment his words fell, Evelyn had already turned and walked away, far enough for her to hear his words, but her footsteps never stopped.
As she walked further, Evelyn saw Gabriel
His gaze passed over her and landed on Ethan behind her, but soon he withdrew his gaze and looked back at Evelyn.
“Do you need any help?”
Evelyn knew what he was saying and shook her head, “Don’t mind him, let’s just go back on our ownL
Upon hearing the “we” in her response, Gabriel couldn’t suppress a sunile and nodded, “Alright, then I will take you back.”
Evelyn did not refuse and returned to the private room inside the room, only Ella was left. Seeing them come back, she picked up their bags and followed dong
“Let’s go!”
The three of them walked further and further, none of the burned back, only Ethan was left behind, watching them go in the distance. It was clear that he could catch up with just a few steps, but Ethan inexplicably felt that the distance between them was still very far, very far,
No matter how hard he tried throughout his life, he could never catch up with that distance.
After reburning to the dormitory, Ella, with great determination, went upstairs first, leaving the alone space for Evelyn and Gabriel Evelyn didn’t even have time to stop her, and even her bag was taken upstairs by Ella.
She shrugged at Gabriel with a hint of helplessness, “Sorry, Ella, she’s just like that, always unpredictable.
Gabriel shook his head and said, “No, she was very sensible.”
Evelyn was momentarily speechless, unsure of how to respond. She then smiled and said, “Can I call you Evie?”
He continued speaking after seeing her nod, “Evle, can we be friends?
Evelyn was taken aback by what he said. She paused for a moment, but in an instant, she burst into laughter.
“I thought you had already called me Evie.”
“Ah, I was so slow.” Gabriel understood the meaning behind her words and felt a bit frustrated. He scratched his head and said, “Well, let’s exchange contact information then. We were so caught up in chatting that we didn’t have time for it
Evelyn nodded and instinctively reached for her phone, only to find it missing. It was then that she remembered her phone was in her bag, which had already been taken by Ella.
