99 Bloody Lashes And A Bullet To His Hear

Evelyn had no doubt about her colleagues' abilities.

So, as soon as she stepped out of the lab, she closed the door, shutting out the prying eyes inside.

"Alright, what brings you all the way here this time?"

She looked at Martin like he was an acquaintance-nothing more.

Does he just love traveling abroad?

When Stella was overseas, he'd used work as an excuse to fly out constantly.

Now that Stella was back and Evelyn was abroad, he was still jet-setting.

Her thoughts were interrupted by his voice.

"Evelyn..."

She cut him off. "Mr. Shelton, we're divorced. Let's keep it formal. Call me Miss Wells."

Her tone was polite but distant, building a wall between them. Once, he'd been on the inside. Now, he was firmly on the outside.

Martin grimaced. He didn't want to call her "Miss Wells," but he couldn't risk angering her.

"I didn't want to marry her," he said, skipping the title altogether.

"The child happened because she took advantage of me when I was drunk. Evelyn... I stopped loving her a long time ago. I was just too stubborn to admit it. Can you forgive me? I know I was wrong. Please don't leave me."

His voice cracked, but Evelyn remained unmoved.

She shook her head. "You say your feelings for Stella were just regret, but how do I know your feelings for me aren't just because I left first?"

"Mr. Shelton, no one stays in the same place forever. We should both look forward now. I've already moved forward. So have you."

Martin shook his head desperately. "No, Evelyn. My feelings for you are real. I love you."

"When I separated from Stella, I had regrets, and I was sad. But honestly, she didn't have such a deep impact on me. I admit I chose you partly because of her, but everything that happened between us was real. My feelings for you

are real!"

He thought his words would make her hesitate, but her gaze only hardened.

"If your feelings were real, but you still chose to betray me, then your love is worthless."

"And I deserve better."

With that, she turned and walked back into the lab, leaving Martin standing there, his eyes red.

He'd never expected this.

How could she leave so easily, without giving him a chance?

They'd been happy once. They'd had a child. They'd been so close to a perfect life.

Now, it was all gone.

Through the window, Evelyn saw Martin standing there, his head bowed, radiating despair.

He really does look heartbroken.

A voice broke her thoughts.

"Do you feel sorry for him?"

She turned to see Steve, his expression unreadable.noveldrama

Before she could answer, he spoke again.

"Evelyn, can you... stop loving him?"
