CHAPTER 564: CHAPTER 272 THE STORY OF AN OLD LOVE

Jane Quinlan stood up and entered Nolan Moore’s office: "Director Moore, I’d like to step out for a moment."

"Where to?"

Jane’s expression was solemn, and seeing that she didn’t reply, Nolan waved his hand: "Be back soon."

She nodded, thanked him, and then turned to leave.

Nolan Moore didn’t understand why so many women had to sorrowfully cry over Kay Forrest, one after another.

What was so great about Kay Forrest that they acted this way.

He shook his head, one fool after another.

Jane reached the underground parking garage, and as soon as she appeared, Kay got out of his car.

She bit her lip and watched as Kay was about to approach, but Jane shook her head at him.

Kay knew what she was worried about, but he was not afraid.

He stepped forward, embraced Jane, and gently kissed her forehead.

"What if someone sees us?"

"What’s there to be afraid of? If they see us, we’ll make our relationship public."

Jane struggled out from his embrace, didn’t say anything, and walked over to the car. She opened the passenger door and got in.

Kay watched her and truly did not know if she was angry.

The car’s heater was very strong, and Jane no longer felt cold once she was inside.

Kay held her hand and looked at her intently.

"When you heard the rumors, did you get angry at me?"

Jane bit her lip and looked at him: "I just want to know the truth, what exactly happened."

"Do you remember when I asked you to spoil my arranged meeting?"

Jane nodded: "Of course, I remember. Does it involve that woman?"

"My relationship with Evie Larkin existed before Yvonne Stone.

I’ve always told my friends that Yvonne Stone was the first woman to betray me.

Actually, that’s not true. The first woman who betrayed me was Evie Larkin.

As I told you before, Evie Larkin’s family saved my father’s life.

In fact, my father was in a car accident, and just happens that Evie Larkin’s father was passing by and pulled my father out of the car.

But there wasn’t only my father in that car.

After pulling my father to the grass, Evie Larkin’s father went back to save another person when the car exploded.

That’s how Evie Larkin’s father died because of my father.

Evie Larkin’s mother was a very beautiful woman.

The first time I saw her, I was also taken aback.

Because she was indeed very beautiful.

Thinking about it now, that woman, nearly forty, possessed the charm that didn’t lose to those in their twenties.

Perhaps it was exactly because she was beautiful.

After her husband died, there were always men harassing her life.

They say a widow’s doorstep is fraught with troubles.

This saying fits perfectly on Evie Larkin’s mother.

Gradually, her mother became the object of detest from other women in the village.

Her mother was particularly proud, especially since she had loved her husband greatly.

So, after being criticized for a while, she couldn’t withstand the pressure and called my dad, asking him to take care of Evie Larkin.

My Dad found her words very strange and immediately sent someone to their village to check if anything had happened.

The result was that the person reported back that Evie Larkin’s mother had committed suicide.

That’s how my father ended up raising Evie Larkin.

Evie and I were about the same age.

Back then, she would sometimes play with me when Faye Townsend ignored me.

Gradually, we developed a little fondness for each other.

It was me who pursued her, and she wasn’t pretentious, quickly agreeing.

We were together for over a year, and everything was fine during that time.

Later, perhaps it was just destined that we would break up.

During the winter break, I wanted to take her for a vacation to Hainan, but she refused.

In a fit of anger, I went by myself.

Coincidentally, Nolan Moore returned from the United States to visit my dad.

He brought back a classmate from the United States.

That classmate fell in love with Evie Larkin at first sight and started pursuing her aggressively.

At that time, Nolan Moore didn’t know that I was in a relationship with Evie Larkin.

I was away, and for some reason, Evie Larkin didn’t tell him.

She gradually betrayed me under that foreigner’s sweet nothings.

When I returned, only then did I realize I had been cuckolded in my absence.

Although Evie Larkin herself said she didn’t accept the foreigner.

But many people had seen Evie Larkin shopping and dining out with that foreigner.

Some even saw them kissing.

The one thing I can’t tolerate the most is sand in my eyes.

Just like that, in a fit of anger, I then started dating Yvonne Stone.

Truthfully, I never really had any feelings for Yvonne Stone.

Back then, it was purely to annoy Evie Larkin.

And after the American man returned to the United States, Evie Larkin came to her senses and realized she had developed inappropriate feelings.

She came to confess to me, but I wasn’t a trash disposal site. How could I turn back when I already had a girlfriend?

She was so persistent and annoying, she even told my dad about it.

Claiming we had been together for a long time.

And that I was now with someone else.

Because of this, my dad scolded me terribly.

I left the country because of that.

I hate Evie Larkin’s always victim-like pitiful expression.

Who does she think she is? She thinks she can cheat and just come back? What a joke."

Kay Forrest solemnly said, "Jane Quinlan, you must believe me, I am completely over Evie Larkin.

I am the type of person who can’t stand sand in his eyes.

And after her, I really did have several women.

I’ve never hidden this from you from the start.

I can swear to God, although Evie Larkin was my longest relationship among all my girlfriends.

But you will definitely be the only wife of mine forever.

You have to believe me, I am always open, what I’ve done, I’ve done."

Jane Quinlan looked at his anxious expression and couldn’t help but smile.

Yes, Kay Forrest is such an open and carefree person.

She knew from the start that he had several ex-girlfriends, didn’t she?

There is no reason to start questioning it now.

"Then answer me one question, do you still love her now?

No, rather, do you still have a place for her in your heart?"

"A place? Not even a standing room.

We are total strangers now.

If I really still had feelings for her, why would I be with you?

So many years have passed, I would have come back and gotten together with her long ago."

Jane Quinlan nodded, "But I feel like she hasn’t completely given up on you."

Previously in Beijing, the expression on Evie Larkin’s face when she saw him clearly had a story behind it.

At that time, she didn’t think much about it.

But now that she thinks about it, something just isn’t right.

Evie Larkin isn’t young anymore, she hasn’t gotten married to this date, could it really have nothing to do with Kay Forrest?

She didn’t believe it.

"She definitely hasn’t given up, but that has nothing to do with me.

I have a family, and I don’t pay attention to those who are irrelevant to me."

Hearing him say this, Jane Quinlan sighed softly in her heart.

She always felt something wasn’t quite right, but couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

As she was deep in thought, Kay Forrest tightened his grip on her hand.

"Do you believe me now?"

Jane Quinlan smiled and leaned forward to kiss him on the forehead: "I never distrusted you.

Didn’t I say so? As long as you say there’s nothing, I believe you."

They say women in love are fools.

What can she do? She loves him, and so, she is willing to be a fool.

At noon, Nolan Moore called Evie Larkin to invite her out for lunch.

Over the phone, Nolan Moore could tell that Evie Larkin’s morale wasn’t high.

She said she had no appetite and didn’t want to eat.

But Nolan Moore directly reported the location and told her to hurry over.

During the meal, Evie Larkin’s face remained gloomy.

Nolan Moore cut her steak and pushed it in front of her: "Alright, eat something first."

Evie Larkin shook her head, "I really have no appetite."

"Eve, don’t you think today’s rumor is a bit out of the blue?

Who would be so idle as to spread such news?"

Evie Larkin looked up at him, "Yeah, I was wondering, who bears me ill will to spread such gossip.

Now, Kay will definitely hate me.

Before he went back to the company, he said either I go away, or I shut my mouth.

He doesn’t want anyone to know about our past relationship.

Especially now that he’s with Miss Quinlan.

What would Miss Quinlan think of me? She must be very angry."

While Evie Larkin was talking, Nolan Moore was observing her.

Was it her? He really hoped not.

He truly didn’t want to see Eve sink so low.
