Chapter 2 Evelyn, your methods are really despicable
The woman named Linda's face turned as pale as paper in an instant.
There was a glimmer of uneasiness in her eyes.
She spoke quickly, her voice somewhat anxious: "Evelyn, I'm really sorry, it was just an accident."
As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes turned red and tears welled up in her eyes, as if she had suffered great injustice.
This scene is really funny.
Evelyn's expression remained calm, with a faint smile on her lips: "Congratulations to both of you."
When others saw this, they just thought it was a sincere blessing between friends.
However, only Evelyn understood the irony hidden behind this blessing.
Three years have passed, and her state of mind is no longer the same as before.
" Evelyn , can I... give birth to this child?" Linda 's voice was cautious, with a hint of begging.
This trick obviously worked very well for Raymond.
He frowned and glared at Evelyn: "Linda, you don't have to explain to her, this child is ours, do we need her consent to have the baby?"
The look in his eyes was as if Evelyn had done something unforgivable.
She just said congratulations.
hehe.
"Just give birth to the baby. We're all family, don't be so formal. In ancient times, it would be a great contribution for a concubine to expand the family. When the child is born, he or she will have to call me mom." Evelyn said with a chuckle.
"Evelyn, what are you talking about?" Raymond was furious.
Evelyn smiled even brighter: "Oh, it's just a joke, why are you so serious. Grandpa asked me to take you back to the old house, are you going with me or with her?"
Raymond was silent for a moment, then moved the suitcase into Evelyn's trunk.
"Send us to Kyoto Hotel first." He said coldly.
Evelyn cooperated and sent the two of them to the entrance of Kyoto Hotel.
It took Raymond half an hour to settle Linda down, and then he got into Evelyn's car again.
He still sat in the back seat, keeping his distance from Evelyn.
The car merged into the traffic of the city again.
" If you like her so much, why let her stay in a hotel? She is still pregnant now. Mothers are honored by their children. You should at least give her a few villas." Evelyn said with a chuckle.
Raymond's voice was cold, revealing suppressed anger: "Evelyn, did you do this on purpose?"
Evelyn laughed so hard that her body shook. "I'm sorry, I forgot you don't have any property under your name."
Since Raymond was a child, all the properties purchased for him by the Yale family were written in Evelyn's name because she was recognized as the daughter-in-law of the Yale family.
Evelyn owns many properties, including countless villas and shops.
But Raymond had nothing.
However, as the only son of the Yale family, the shares of the Yale family are under his name.
Raymond has been observing Evelyn , and saw that the smile on her face has never faded.
They grew up together and he understood her better than anyone.
She seems cheerful, but she actually bears grudges the most.
I guess he was upset after seeing Linda pregnant today, so he spoke in a joking and sarcastic tone.
Or maybe she was using the Yale family's fortune to control him.
There was a hint of disgust in Raymond's eyes when he looked at Evelyn.
"Evelyn, don't bully Linda, and don't even think that I will come back to you. I won't fight with you for what the Yale family gave you, even if it's my compensation to you. But if you think more, don't blame me for not reminding you, I will take back the title of Mrs. Yale."
Evelyn stopped smiling and her face became more serious.
" Raymond , let's get a divorce."
No, to be precise, it should be a breakup.
Raymond's face instantly turned cold.
"Evelyn, are you threatening me?" He never thought that Evelyn really wanted a divorce.
He knew her situation very well. She could not go back to the James family.
What's more, she once loved him to death and even committed suicide by cutting her wrists for him.
We had no contact for three years, but she never mentioned divorce.
Now that he's back, she's filed for divorce.
There is only one possibility, that is, Linda's pregnancy caused her a huge shock.
She wanted to force him to break up with Linda .
" I'm not threatening you. I just figured it out. I married you at first because I thought you would change your mind. After you left, I kept the title of Mrs. Yale just to compete with Linda."
"But now I feel it's meaningless. Linda is pregnant, and the child is innocent. I don't want to take up this position and delay the reunion of your family of three."
She used to be young and hot-tempered, and she was holding a lot of resentment in her heart because her boyfriend and best friend betrayed her at the same time.
Besides the troubles in James' family, another important reason for marrying Raymond was that she didn't want the two of them to live in peace.
But three years have passed and her mentality has changed.
, she had not wronged herself in the past three years. She did not want to spend her whole life in this empty shell of a marriage that was not worthy of its name.
Raymond stared at Evelyn in the rearview mirror with cold eyes.
It turned out to be because Linda was pregnant.
" Evelyn, don't you feel guilty when you say this? If it's that easy to understand, why did you cut your wrists and threaten to die?"
When this was mentioned, Evelyn's eyes dimmed a little.
She cut her wrists not entirely because of Raymond.
After a brief silence, Evelyn touched her hair.
She casually inserted her five fingers into the soft hair and raised her head slightly, looking very charming.
She returned to her lazy look: "If you don't agree, forget it."
Raymond snorted coldly and turned his eyes away from Evelyn's beautiful face.
She took the initiative to file for divorce, which made him inexplicably angry.
Just for a moment, his heart seemed to be grabbed.
I thought she really wanted a divorce.
Really overrated her.
Knowing that she was just testing and forcing him in this way, the disgust in his heart grew even stronger.
"Evelyn, your methods are really despicable."
This was the second time Evelyn heard Raymond say this.
The first time was after returning from the summer camp, when Raymond confessed to her directly that he and Linda were together.
She was stunned for five seconds, then rushed over and slapped Linda several times.
Raymond pulled her off Linda and angrily told her to break up.
Evelyn yelled angrily: Break up? Don't even think about it! Even if I, Evelyn, go to hell, I will take you two with me!
At that time, Raymond called her a bitch.
That heart-wrenching feeling was like a knife stabbing into my heart for countless days and nights to come.
It left behind many bloody holes, which was a horrible sight.
However, the more I think about it, the more numb I become.
The wounds of the past have formed a thick scab, like armor.
So now when she heard him scolding her again, she was not moved at all.
Soon we arrived at the old house of the Yale family.
As soon as they got out of the car, they saw Raymond's mother Lampe standing at the door.
There was no joy on his face, which showed that he had not seen his son for three years. Instead, his face was very gloomy.
When he saw Raymond, he asked, "I heard you brought that little goblin back with you?"
Raymond looked at Evelyn with a stern face.
Evelyn spread her hands innocently: "I didn't say anything. You saw it. I didn't have time to call yet."
