Chapter 598 Evelyn’s Dream, Shattered
Emmeline smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's a little uncomfortable."
Evelyn said, "I knew it. Mr. Abel is just taking care of you because he has no choice."
Emmeline chuckled, "Hehe. You're right that he has no choice. After all, if he doesn't take care of me, who else
could?"
The reason she was in pain was because he had gone too hard in bed. Naturally, he had to bear the responsibility.
Evelyn reassured herself, "Mr. Abel is a sentimental man. Even though he doesn't love you anymore, he still takes
care of you. That's the kind of man I like."
Emmeline narrowed her eyes and asked, "Then what of you and Abel? Have you two finally developed feelings after
so long?"
"..." Evelyn's expression turned gloomy for a moment before replying, "I like our relationship now. There's plenty of
time for feelings later on."
"Is that so?"
Evelyn had a haughty expression as she said, "Yes, it is. At least he's not just being nice to me out of obligation like

arranged marriage, so our relationship will only get better with time."
Emmeline smiled, "Well, aren't you the confident one? I'm quite impressed really."
"If I were you, I would have already realized my presence is unwanted here. Why be a thorn in someone else's
eyes?"
Emmeline sighed, "Oh, you're absolutely right. Just look at all the wounds Abel has given me. I really should be
staying far away from him."
She casually pulled her shawl down as she said this.
The little reddish marks on her neck, shoulder and collarbone immediately caught Evelyn's attention.
Evelyn was stupefied.
No matter how ignorant she was, she knew what exactly these ‘reddish marks' were.
Evelyn couldn't contain her surprise as she asked, "How did you get so many love bites? And they're so red. Who did
it?"
Emmeline smiled, "I just said it was Abel. Can't you see that I can barely even walk because of him? He's not just
being nice to me out of obligation. He's also… very enthusiastic and strong… Oh, I can hardly take it."
Evelyn was shocked, "Abel… did this? So the reason walking is painful for you is because he…"
Emmeline said playfully, "Why else? That dear husband of mine had almost sucked the life out of me last night."
"But I thought he no longer had feelings for you?"
Emmeline clicked her tongue and said, "How can you believe such nonsense? If he had no feelings for me, would he
lust after me for hours on end? Afterwards, he even got a nurse from the gynecology department to take care of
me. That's the only reason why I'm even able to come out here. Sadly, walking is still a tad painful for me, so I need
him to support me. Oh, being his woman is so difficult."
Evelyn's face paled completely, "That means… You and Abel… were alright to begin with?"
Emmeline lowered her voice and said, "Well, I wouldn't say that. He told me that starting tonight, he's going to
make it so that… I won't be able to get out of bed for three days. Can you believe that man? How can he be so
rough on me?"
Evelyn's expression darkened as her vision became blurry. She supported herself on the chair and took a deep
breath before hastily departing.
"Pfft. Try and mess with me, will you?"
Emmeline sneered and took a cherry from the fruit platter in front of her, then tossed it into her mouth.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEvelyn quickly moved across the hall and sat down in a chair in the corner.
She realized that she must have seemed like such a fool to Emmeline with all her bold accusations and wishful
thinking.
Unable to stop herself from crying, Evelyn covered her mouth to stifle herself.
On the other side, Julianna was speaking with Adam.
Noticing the distressed Evelyn, she said to Adam, "Adam, did you see what happened with Ms. Evelyn Murphy?"
Adam hadn't noticed the person in question at all. He looked around his surroundings, then asked, "Why? What's
wrong with her?"
"It looks like she started crying after speaking to Emmeline," Julianna said as she gestured to the corner with her
lips.
Adam finally noticed Evelyn huddled up in the corner.
He asked, "What's that got to do with us? Lizbeth is the one who's engaged to Adrien, not her."
Julianna rebuked, "Are you stupid? She's the cherished daughter of the Murphy family. Lizbeth had only just entered
the picture and doesn't have a lot of support."
"I still don't see how that concerns us?"
