Valeria got goosebumps when she heard Evelyn call out William’s name sweetly. She frowned slightly and looked at William.
William looked at Evelyn coldly and held Valeria’s hand as he said with a cold expression, “Honey, let’s go!”
William didn’t respond to Evelyn’s greeting at all because he only had eyes for Valeria. This made Evelyn embarrassed.
Could it be that William didn’t remember her?
She had met William back when she was on the island. He had saved her at that time and she still could not forget the gentle look he gave her.
He looked at Valeria with the same gaze he had given her in the past. How could he look at another woman so gently?
Evelyn didn’t want to give up, so she bit her lip and reminded him, “William, don’t you remember me? We met on the ice island. Thank you for helping me that night.”
Was Evelyn an old acquaintance of William? Valeria looked at William curiously.
William had helped Evelyn so much back then that she couldn’t forget him, but he didn’t treat her kindly at all. His voice was ice-cold as he said, “I don’t remember!”
“William, think about it carefully. We were on the news at that time and I kept photos of it. Do you want to have a look?”
Evelyn took out her phone and she prepared to show William their photos on the news. However, William did not have much patience. “There’s no need for that! I’m not interested in these irrelevant things.”
He was so straightforward that Evelyn looked extremely awkward. She had always remembered what had happened very clearly, but she did not expect that William wouldn’t take it seriously.
William didn’t care what Evelyn was thinking, so he nodded to Thomas and said, “Mr. Gurney, it’s getting late. My wife has to go back to rest, I’ll see you around!”
He pulled Valeria away as he spoke. A look of unwillingness flashed across Evelyn’s face when she saw how cold William was treating her. When she saw William pulling Valeria away without even saying a word, she raised her voice and said, “William, I’m planning to stay here for a long time and I’ll always be in B City. Let’s have a meal if you’re free.”
William ignored Evelyn’s words and pulled Valeria into the car. Thomas frowned and said, “Evelyn, what are you doing? William is married and Valeria is pregnant. What’s the point of a single woman like you asking a married man out?”
“Why can’t I? It’s just a meal. Can’t he have dinner with a girl after getting married?” Evelyn retorted with dissatisfaction. “Besides, he can get a divorce anytime. He is so handsome, so who said that he can only marry once in his life?”
“What are you talking about?” Thomas’s face darkened. “Everyone would want a marriage to last forever. Who would look forward to someone else’s divorce?”
“I wouldn’t think like this usually, but William isn’t an ordinary person. He’s handsome and carefree, so how could he be tied down to one woman for his entire lifetime?”
Thomas was shocked by Evelyn’s bluntness and looked at her with a complicated expression. “Evelyn, I don’t care how you act when you were abroad, but you’re in B City now. I’m reminding you that you will be ostracized if you become a homewrecker. Besides, Valeria is my friend and I appreciate her very much. I hope you can be cautious in the future and don’t do anything that makes me embarrassed.”
“What? You’re Valeria’s friend? Do you like her?” Evelyn acted as if she was dumbfounded. “Isn’t that good? You can invite Valeria for dinner while I meet up with William. We don’t have to interfere with each other.”
Thomas felt that Evelyn wasn’t making any sense and he couldn’t talk any sense into her. “Okay, I’ll ask someone to send you back to rest.”
“Thomas, why are you avoiding me? What’s going on between you and Valeria?” Evelyn asked.
“We have nothing to do with each other and we are just ordinary friends. Well, you drank too much tonight, so go back and have a rest!” Thomas opened the door and pushed Evelyn into the car.
Evelyn retorted, “I’m not drunk and I’m not a lightweight. Let me tell you, I have a special relationship with William. You have to believe me!”
Thomas ignored her and called the driver of the hotel. “Please send her back to the hotel safely. Thank you!”
Evelyn didn’t want to go back, so she reached out and grabbed Thomas’s hand. “Why don’t you want to go back to the hotel with me? Thomas, you’ve gone too far! How can you do this to me when I came here alone? I’m going to call grandpa to complain.”
Thomas was patient as he said, “Don’t make trouble. I have something to do and President Floyd asked me to meet him.”
Evelyn stopped pestering him when she heard that Callum wanted to see Thomas, who told her again, “Tell me when you arrive at the hotel, okay?”
“Got it! You’re so naggy. Is there anyone who can harm me here?”
Thomas frowned. He didn’t want to be too longwinded, but the Gurney family personally asked him to take care of Evelyn. He was a grateful person, so he had to repay their kindness.
Thomas strode out of the parking lot and hailed a taxi after he watched as Everlyn’s car left.
Callum asked him to meet in the evening, but Evelyn had made him late, so he called Callum and said after he got into the car, “Mr. Floyd, something happened soI may be late.”
Callum replied, “I was going to tell you that I’m a little late because I’m busy with something.”
Thomas was relieved when he heard this. He didn’t know whether Valeria was angry or not when he thought of Evelyn’s unacceptable behaviour just now. Valeria was pregnant now, so it wouldn’t be good if she got angry. He had to explain it to Valeria and let her rest assured.
On the way back, Valeria thought of Evelyn’s confusing behaviour and felt a little strange. She didn’t hide her thoughts from William. “What’s with Miss Gurney just now?”
“You don’t have to care about irrelevant people like her!” William obviously didn’t want to mention Evelyn.
“Didn’t she say that she had a connection with you on the island? I’m very curious about your relationship with her.”
William looked at Bobby, who was driving, and his eyes flashed. “To be honest, I don’t even remember what happened back then.”
“Is that so?” Valeria didn’t quite believe what William said. Evelyn seemed to be from the Gurney family, which was Thomas’ adopted family. She should be the heiress of the Gurney family.
Evelyn’s status was naturally different, but she gave Valeria a strange feeling.
Her marriage with William had been so grand that it was published on all media platforms. Evelyn would definitely know about it if she had access to the internet, so why did she call Valeria Miss Brown instead of Madam Howard?
Valeria felt that she had missed something when she remembered Evelyn’s abnormally warm gaze towards William. Was William trying to hide something from her?
He was so handsome and countless girls have been attracted to him. Could Evelyn be his ex-girlfriend?
