Seeing Helin so shocked, Evelina couldnât help wondering, âYouâve pestered him for so long, but you donât even know if heâs married?â
Helin was speechless for a moment, but she soon looked at him with tears in her eyes. âWhy didnât you tell me that you were married?â
Joe was speechless, too.
Joe finally understood that Helin had completely fallen into the lie Martha made up for her. It was not that she couldnât wake up, but that she didnât want to. Joe pondered for a moment and said to Helin, âCome back at this time tomorrow.â
This was the first time Joe had given him such a gentle reply since their meeting.
Helin agreed happily at once and then left slowly with the basket.
After Helin left, the gaze of the three people in the room fell on Joe.
Charlotte knew that Joe couldnât agree to Helin so easily, but she was just curious about what idea he had come up with.
Dr. Garie and Evelina didnât understand. They looked at him disapprovingly. âYou donât want to agree, do you?â
Joe smiled helplessly, âOf course not.â
As expected, Helin arrived on time the next day.
Helin had specially changed into a custom-made dress and put on exquisite makeup. With a peaceful smile on her face, she walked in.
However, as soon as she entered, Helin was stunned.
This time, there was no Joe or Charlotte in the living room. There was only a completely strange man.
Although this man was good-looking, Helin didnât take him seriously. Instead, she frowned and asked Evelina, âWhere are they?â
Evelina smiled at her and pointed at the man standing in the middle of the living room. âThis is the person youâre looking for.â
âAre you joking with me?â Helin had just frowned when she saw the man walking over excitedly.
âHello, Helin?â The man quickly introduced himself, âIâm Toynbee Pound. A student of the psychology department of Hewlett Universityâ¦â
Helin frowned when she heard the name of the psychology department.
Helin glanced at the man and quickly looked away. âI donât know you. Please stay away from me.â
Toynbee didnât expect Helin to treat him with such indifference. âHelin, donât you remember me? Didnât you say that you would be with me for the rest of your life?â Toynbee asked hurriedly.
âAre you crazy? When did I sayâ¦â As soon as Helin cursed, her eyes suddenly widened.
Helin was no fool. She finally understood that Joe asked her to see Toynbee.
Helin walked up to Toynbee angrily and slapped him hard in the face. âLiar! How dare you show up in front of me!â
Helinâs parents had confirmed that Toynbee was hired by Martha to chat with her professionally.
How dare Toynbee say that they would be together for the rest of their lives?
Toynbee covered his face with his hand and looked aggrieved. âHelin, I had no choice. If I didnât do that, she would ruin everything I had! Iâm sorry.â
Helin was so angry that she laughed and slapped him on the other side of his face. âReally? If you appear in front of me again, I can destroy everything you have!â
Toynbee glared at Helin. âThatâs not what you said before!â
âGet out.â
