Chapter 783 Seeing Through Her Thoughts
“Huh?” Stephen looked at her in surprise. Evie spoke again. “Jason was indeed my sweetheart, but I’ve let go of him. He and I are done.”
“But it seems you haven’t moved on. You say that things will not work out between us, and I believe you. “But that’s because of reality. You haven’t really let go. “It’s unfair to me, and I mind it.” Stephen’s eyes flickered slightly.
Evie was too transparent and smart. From the New Year’s dinner alone, she could figure out so many things. She might have sensed that his affection for Zayla surpassed that between siblings.
That was why she said such things to him. He thought about it and felt it was indeed unfair to Evie. Jason and she were over because she no longer loved Jason.
Zayla and he couldn’t be together because of practical reasons, not because he no longer cared for her. Stephen put his hands in his pockets and leaned slightly to watch Evie. He smiled.
“Then what?”
Evie had a thoughtful expression on her face. “At such a point, I can no longer change my fiancé.” Stephen’s smile deepened. “Actually, you can. It’s not too late now.” Evie tensed up and grabbed the hem of his clothes. “I can’t. I’ve met with your parents, accepted their gifts, and called them
Mom and Dad.” Stephen looked at Evie’s nervous expression. Was she afraid that he would replace her and push her to the Olsen family? “You said you trusted me and showed your faith in me just a moment ago, “Now it looks like you don’t trust me that much. “Or there’s another possibility.” Evie blinked in confusion. “What possibility?”
Stephen leaned in closer to her and said with conviction, “It doesn’t matter if I have someone I like or if I can let go of her. You don’t care. You choose to believe me because it makes no difference.” Evie
pursed her lips, caught off guard by his perception.
For a moment, she didn’t know what to say. Stephen smiled even more broadly. “Did I hit the mark?” Evie shook her head. “If that were true, I wouldn’t have felt unfair or minded it.” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“Are you sure that wasn’t just a test?” Stephen’s voice was firm as he locked eyes with her. His gaze was intense, as if he could see right through her.
“You so-called ‘even’ was just to test me, to see if I’d feel jealous or angry because of the man you used to love, wasn’t it?” His piercing gaze left Evie with nowhere to hide. He saw through all her thoughts. Feeling guilty, she took a step back.
“It’s all in the past. I have no interest in knowing or digging into it.” “At my place, you can rest easy and let your guard down “Come on, I’ll take you to your room.” Stephen gave her a meaningful look before heading toward the elevator.
Evie followed him in, and the elevator doors slowly closed. “Mr. Vargas, since we’ve known each other, I’ve only tried to trick you twice, but you saw through me both times. Your shrewdness really embarrasses me.”
