Billionaire's Unforgettable Ex-Wife
Chapter 572 - 280: Want to Make Up for Your Own Mistake?
CHAPTER 572: CHAPTER 280: WANT TO MAKE UP FOR YOUR OWN MISTAKE?
Nolan Moore clenched his fists in the dark, no wonder Kay Forrest was so certain.
It turns out he had already obtained the evidence.
But Evie... why did she do this?
Why did she turn herself into such a detestable existence?
He trusted her so much, yet she actually deceived him.
While he was restless, Evie Larkin suddenly called.
After hesitating for a moment, Nolan Moore answered the phone: "Hello, Evie."
"Nolan, are you busy? Did I disturb you?"
Nolan Moore calmed his emotions, "No, what’s up?"
"Ah? Oh... that is, I want to be discharged from the hospital today.
Do you have time to come pick me up?"
"Your health has not yet recovered, you should stay in the hospital for a few more days."
"The longer I rest, the more anxious I feel, I want to be discharged.
Can you... pick me up after you get off work?"
Nolan Moore replied gravely, "Okay."
There were some things he needed to ask her clearly.
Nolan Moore left the company early in the afternoon, around four o’clock.
When he arrived at the hospital, he did not look too well.
Evie Larkin had already packed up most of her things. Seeing him arrive, she greeted him with a faint smile.
"Nolan, why did you come so early?"
"There is nothing much at the company, and since you’re all packed up, let’s go."
Nolan Moore stepped forward to help her with a parcel and walked towards the exit.
Seeing that he was not in a good mood, Evie Larkin was somewhat puzzled and followed him out of the hospital.
After getting into the car, Evie Larkin asked him: "Nolan, are you troubled by something?
I see you don’t look very good."
"Are you sure it’s really okay for you to be discharged now?"
"Mm, actually it wasn’t anything serious, rest is all I need.
I just want to lie down at home, it always feels uncomfortable in the hospital."
Nolan Moore nodded, started the car, and left without another word for the rest of the journey.
After dropping her off at home, Evie Larkin lay down in bed while Nolan Moore made a phone call to find her a temporary caregiver.
Before the caregiver arrived, he pulled over a chair and sat down beside the bed.
"Evie, I consider you a friend, and there are some things I don’t want to keep bottled up inside.
I am asking you, does the spreading of your matter with Kay have anything to do with you?"
Evie Larkin shook her head: "No, why would you ask that?"
Nolan Moore sighed: "Evie, I really hoped you would be truthful, but you clearly have disappointed me."
Evie Larkin frowned: "Nolan... what’s going on, why would you suddenly ask this, and why... would you say these things?"
"I’ve already investigated, it was clearly you who leaked it out.
Wasn’t it you who told Evelyn Claire that you had been with Kay Forrest before?"
"Evelyn Claire?" Evie Larkin was surprised: "You mean... Evelyn Claire spread this?
Impossible, why would Evelyn Claire do such a thing, we are friends."
"You and Evelyn Claire are friends?"
Evie Larkin nodded vigorously: "In the assistant office, she’s my only friend.
I really did tell her about it, but she wouldn’t tell anyone else.
Nolan, don’t talk about her like that, I would rather it be me who said it."
Nolan Moore looked away displeased: "You should be careful in choosing friends.
I’ve inquired, Evelyn Claire is a big gossip.
You poured out your heart and soul in your friendship with such a person, and yet she betrayed you.
Kay Forrest investigated and because Evelyn Claire betrayed you, that’s why he detests you."
"It can’t be," Evie Larkin’s eyes reddened.
She turned over to grab her phone to dial Evelyn Claire’s number.
Nolan Moore held her hand: "What are you going to do?"
"I’m going to call Evelyn Claire to ask if it was really her who said it.
Why would she do this to me, where have I ever wronged her.
I frequently invite her to meals.
I bring her gifts from my business trips.
I treat her wholeheartedly well, why would she talk nonsense in front of Kay."
As she spoke, she began to cry.
Nolan Moore felt a bit exasperated, yes, he just felt that Evie Larkin was not that kind of person.
"Nolan, why do I fail so much as a person?
The one I love can’t bear it, and good friends also betray me.
What sin did I commit to deserve this end?
Evelyn Claire has also talked to me about many of her troubles, but I have never spoken about those matters."
I thought it was a secret exchange between us, that would be fair in a friendship.
But who knew..."
As she spoke, she turned to lie on the bed, covering herself with the blanket and began sobbing loudly.
Nolan Moore gently patted her shoulder: "Alright, stop crying.
Take this as a lesson, be cautious with what you say when making friends in the future."
She poked her head out: "If I can’t even speak freely in front of friends, then what’s the point of having friends?
To me, friends should be the most comfortable presence."
"Then this Evelyn Claire is clearly not suitable to be your friend.
You’ve been betrayed once by her, you should now be clear whether this friend is worth keeping."
Evie Larkin nodded: "I understand, Nolan, thank you for your kindness, I got it."
"I’ll go see why the nanny hasn’t arrived yet, you rest for a while."
"Okay."
Nolan Moore stood up and left, and as he turned around, Evie Larkin was still in tears.
But as soon as Nolan Moore closed her room door, her expression immediately turned cold.
Nolan just now had a bad look on his face, clearly suspecting her.
Evelyn Claire is really unreliable.
Luckily she was alert and had long guessed that Evelyn Claire was not trustworthy, so she was prepared.
Otherwise, being asked so suddenly, she could easily have given herself away in panic.
Jane Quinlan finished her work around five o’clock.
Knowing that Kay Forrest would be very busy recently, she didn’t plan to bother him and just quietly went home.
Kay Forrest received a call from Nolan Moore on his way home from work.
He switched to speakerphone, his voice relaxed and pleasant: "You’re calling me, it must be nothing good."
"I’ve cleared up the matter with Evie.
She and that Evelyn Claire were friends.
There were things she told Evelyn Claire, just didn’t expect that Evelyn Claire would leak them."
Kay Forrest sneered: "So you believed her?"
"You don’t?"
Kay Forrest was speechless, this Nolan Moore was meticulous in his work, hardly ever making mistakes.
But his emotional intelligence was seriously lacking.
Such a man, even if he dates, would be toyed with by a woman.
Simply a fool.
"What kind of person Evelyn Claire is, she, Evie Larkin, knows better than us.
Evie Larkin is smart, right?
Do you think, if she had no intention of leaking the news, would she tell Evelyn Claire?"
"Evelyn Claire told her many secrets too, she thought Evelyn Claire genuinely treated her as a friend.
We’ll never understand the friendship between women."
"Bullshit, what does this have to do with friendship.
Nolan, I’ve noticed since you got back you’ve been trying to find fault with me.
Are you sick or not?
I have nothing to do with that Evie Larkin anymore.
Not to say that I haven’t slept with her, even if I had, so what?
I’ve slept with plenty of women, am I supposed to be responsible for each one?
You want to be a saint, then be one properly, don’t bother me.
This Kay Forrest has to revolve around you two all the time, is it?
I’m warning you, don’t bother me with Evie Larkin’s problems in the future, I have no patience to listen."
He hung up the phone immediately after speaking.
Nolan Moore felt helpless, he was genuinely trying to ease their relationship.
But Kay Forrest didn’t appreciate it.
Forget it, he was too lazy to deal with her.
After the nanny arrived, Nolan Moore showed her around Evie Larkin’s home and then left first.
Evie Larkin wanted him to stay for dinner, but Nolan Moore, feeling somewhat troubled, left anyway.
After he left, the nanny went to prepare dinner.
Evie Larkin took out her mobile phone and called Evelyn Claire.
Upon answering, Evelyn Claire was very enthusiastic: "Evie, I heard you weren’t feeling well, how are you now?"
"Arlin, I am asking you, was it you who disclosed my affair with Director Forrest?"
Evelyn Claire hesitated: "Evie, it wasn’t on purpose.
I just accidentally let it slip out.
I didn’t mean it, I’ve been regretting it so much these past few days.
Please don’t be mad at me, okay?"
"Do you realize, you really ruined me, now Kay won’t even acknowledge me."
Evelyn Claire fell silent: "But I really didn’t do it on purpose, the words are out, I can’t take them back."
"Then do you want to make up for your mistake?"
