As Evelyn took the trophy, she couldn’t help but feel delighted. She dashed off to The Wilson Group.
Her career was important, but she couldn’t neglect the daily task of flattering her honey.
Upon reaching the top floor of The Wilson Group, she grabbed David and asked in a low voice, “Where’s Henry?”
David was taken aback for a moment, then pointed to the office. Before he could remind her that there were other people present, Evelyn rushed in.
“Darling, I won an award, congratulate me!” With the door pushed open, Evelyn dove straight into her husband’s arms, excitedly planting a hot kiss on his lips…
Only when she stopped did she realize that the atmosphere was somewhat strange.
When she turned her head, she noticed something off.
Evelyn watched as Noah and Alexander sat on the sofa, completely dazed. Her cheeks flushed red, and then she buried herself in Henry’s embrace, feeling somewhat aggrieved. ‘I’m so embarrassed, why didn’t you remind me?”
Henry lowered his gaze, his hand rubbing his sore lips. “You didn’t give me a chance…”
Evelyn muttered under her breath, “You couldn’t even push me away?”
As a girl, even if she had strength, could she really overpower this big man? In her inner monologue, Evelyn completely forgot about the times when she effortlessly broke someone’s arm…
“You were so proactive…” Henry’s eyes darkened suddenly, implying that he couldn’t bear to push her away.
The warmth that had just receded from Evelyn’s cheeks instantly surged back.
Noah seemed completely unaffected, his expression still indifferent. “Henry, I think what we need to discuss is more important than your flirting.”
“Right,” Henry admitted, “go on.”
The next moment, Noah’s cold gaze fell on Evelyn.
Evelyn had felt Noah’s hostility towards her before; even in her past life, Noah was the least supportive of her relationship with Henry.
“Do you want me to leave?” She asked sensibly, but before Henry could respond, she clung to him like a piece of sticky candy, “But I’ve just finished my busy schedule; I don’t want to be apart from you.”
Henry subconsciously tightened his hand around her waist. “No need to leave.”
Alexander couldn’t help but burst into laughter at the scene, “Henry, I should give you a mirror so you can see for yourself the spectacle of being bewitched.”
“Alexander,” Evelyn turned her head, “Do you want to see Sophia?”
“My queen, No, I don’t…!” The thought of that woman made Alexander shudder with goosebumps. He had escaped from her with all his might.
Seeing Evelyn still staring at him, Alexander felt like he was sitting on pins and needles and didn’t want to stay for another second, “I just remembered I have some unfinished work, so I need to leave now. Bye…”
Noah also stood up. “Consider what I said. Keep in touch.”
Evelyn just wanted to tease Noah, but she ended up messing things up. She suggested, “Maybe I should go back to the villa and wait for you there, you…”
“No need,” Henry rejected directly. “Those things don’t matter.”
Evelyn’s cheeks flushed slightly. Why did she feel like Henry was saying she was more important than anything else? In any case, it made her feel sweet.
She took out the small trophy and handed it to Henry. “This is for you.”
Henry was clearly puzzled, with a deep furrow between his brows.
Evelyn explained, “It’s because you gave me the chance to do it, so I won this award. That’s why I want to give it to you.”
“Not just this one, but anything else I retrieve in the future will also be yours.”
Knowing her words sounded a bit like flattery, Henry was still genuinely happy.
Seeing the stack of files he hadn’t finished, Evelyn stood up, “I’m tired. I’ll go rest in the small bedroom for a while. We can go home together after you finish.”
…
A moment later, David walked in.
Making sure that Evelyn was asleep, David spoke solemnly, “We found the mastermind behind Madam’s kidnapping last time. It’s Terrence, a shareholder of The Hall Group.”
“Madam helped Miss Hall some time ago. It might have touched on Terrence’s interests, so he hired someone to kill her.”
Henry’s voice was cold as ice. “Deal with him.”
David nodded. “Yes, boss.”
After tonight, Memphis will no longer have Terrence, and even his entire family will cease to exist..
…
Evelyn was carried back to the villa. When she opened her eyes, Henry had just finished showering.
She gazed at the extraordinarily handsome man in front of her and let out a drowsy yawn.
Henry chuckled as he sat on the edge of the bed, “Evelyn.”
“Huh?”
“Do you know that my arms were sore from carrying you today?”
Evelyn immediately sat up in bed, pinching her arms, thighs, and finally settling on her flat stomach. Her figure hadn’t changed much, though.
Henry concluded, “Darling, you’ve gained weight.”
