Chapter 18 Cling to William?
Evelyn emerged from the bathroom and was startled to see Henry lying in bed. She prayed silently that he hadnât heard anything.
His eyes tightly closed, Henry seemed to be in a deep sleep. The furrowed brow hinted at his lessâ
thanâpleasant mood at the moment.

Feeling sympathy, Evelyn reached out to smooth the wrinkles on his forehead, âIt wonât happen again, ever.â
For the rest of her life, she vowed not to let this man worry or feel troubled because of her.
Thinking about Henryâs explanation earller, she couldnât help but feel a bit pleased. If the drink. had little effect on Henry, did it mean that nothing happened between him and that woman in her previous lives?
Evelyn chuckled to herself, leaning against Henry and eventually falling asleep.
***
The next morning, she Woke up early, intending to have breakfast with Henry.
As she descended the stairs, Henry happened to leave. Even though he noticed Evelynâs approach, he didnât spare her a glance, leaving without saying a word.
The look on his face made David, who was following behind Henry, become extra vigilant.
His intuition told him that Boss was not in a good mood.
Evelyn hurried a few steps to catch up with David, âWhatâs wrong with himâ
âMadam, besides you, who else could make Boss so angry? Think about what youâve done.â
She was taken aback by his words, biting her lip and letting him go. She felt a bit dejected.
Did Henry hear what happened last night?
***
Hurrying to the car, David said, âBossâ He quickly forced a smile, âMadamâ¦â
âYou donât need to tell me her affairsâ
âYes, Boss.â David nodded repeatedly. âBoss, even though you donât want to hear it, I have to report to you.â
Observing Henry, David continued, âWhen you left, she seemed quite disheartened, and her foot appears to be injured.â
If he remembered correctly, Evelyn tiptoed up the stairs just now.

âHmm.â
Henry picked up the nearby documents, âLetâs go.â
After the car had driven a few meters, he added gloomily, âCall Frank to come over.â
âYes, I guarantee that Doctor Johnson will be here within half an hour.â
He knew, just mentioning Madamâs injury, Boss was already very concerned.
***
Until Frank arrived to treat her wound, Evelyn finally eased her anxiety.
Frank, the family doctor and a good friend of Henry, couldnât help but tease when he saw her in such a state.
âHow did you manage to run this time, only injuring one foot?â
Evelyn frowned, âI hurt one foot, and you think thatâs not enough?â
âBe wellâprepared if you want to run; otherwise, youâll only end up with more injuries,â Frank reminded while organizing his medical kit.
Evelyn wasnât appreciative. âAre you here to tease me?â
She gave him a disdainful look, âBut youâll be disappointed; Iâve changed my mind. I donât want to run anymore.â
Before she could say anything else, a special reminder popped up in her email â a message from the research institute, the one left to her by her grandmother.
It was a message from Gavin Flute, the person in charge of the institute. They agreed to meet at this upscale beauty salon in the city center.
***
This was the most luxurious/beauty salon in Memphis, filled with antiques from various dynasties, creating a unique sense of luxury. And all this extravagance was under her grandmotherâs name.
Meanwhile, Mia also happened to arrive at the salon and spotted Evelyn in the lobby.
Accompanied by Emily, Mia noticed Evelynâs presence, and jealousy welled up in Emilyâs eyes.

âMia, that bitch hurt you and still dares to appear in front of you. We canât just let her off like this.*
Hearing Emilyâs words, Mia began to play the victim again. âEmily, Evelyn was just angry for a moment. It wasnât intentional. Youâ¦â
Wasnât it intentional? Itâs not your fault that William likes youâ¦â
Emily walked angrily towards Evelyn.
Î âEvelyn, why are you so despicable? Youâre already married, why do you still cling to William?â
