Chapter 118: Can’t Handle Evelyn Grant

Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Can’t Handle Evelyn Grant

’Maybe everything would have been different.’

’I could have come home from work every day, and Evelyn Grant would still have been waiting for me. We could have had dinner together, chatted a little, and then fallen asleep in each other’s arms.’

’Those would have been such happy days.’

’And that life was supposed to be mine!’

If he had never had it to begin with, perhaps he could have been more at peace, but...

The problem was, he knew exactly what it was like to have Evelyn Grant at home.

The problem was, this house was filled with her presence and traces of her everywhere.

What could he do? How could he erase it all?

Julian Sterling pressed a hand to his forehead. He lay alone on the sofa, lost in thought for a long time before finally calling his mother.

"Mom, please help me... I don’t think I can handle Evelyn Grant on my own. Can you give me some advice on how to win her back, how to get her to remarry me?"

"So now you remember you have a mother?" Florence Morgan was furious with her son.

In the past, she had always thought her eldest son was obedient and sensible, someone she never had to worry much about.

That was why they had been so at ease while they were abroad, never prying too much into the relationship between their eldest son and daughter-in-law.

If she had known, Florence Morgan would have definitely stepped in and interfered much sooner. Things certainly wouldn’t have ended up like this.

"Mom..." Julian Sterling’s voice was full of helplessness. "I want to fix things. This time, I’ll listen to whatever you say. I just want Evelyn Grant."

"The situation now is... a bit difficult. Your brother... sigh." Florence Morgan trailed off, only able to sigh. "He’s liked her for a long time. He was interested in her even before Eve married you! So this matter is very tricky."

If she could have, Florence Morgan would have gotten involved long ago; she wouldn’t have waited for her eldest son to make this specific call to her.

"Tricky or not, we have to get Evelyn Grant back! Are you just going to watch... watch as Evelyn Grant really gets together with Ryan? If that happens, what will other people think of our Sterling Family? How am I supposed to hold my head up high after this?"

"You’re saying all this now, but aren’t you the one who caused this mess in the first place!"

"..."

"I don’t want to blame you, but you really should reflect on your actions!" Florence Morgan’s voice rose, still laced with reproach. "If you hadn’t, what part would your brother have in any of this? Mom is stuck in the middle now. If I interfere too much, your brother will definitely resent me! I have no idea what he’ll say about me then!"

They were both her sons; Florence Morgan had to consider both of their feelings to some extent.

If Ryan Sterling really came to confront her, what could she say? She didn’t want to offend either her older or younger son.

"Mom, if Ryan had found any other girlfriend, I wouldn’t say a word. I wouldn’t meddle at all. But he’s actually trying to be with Evelyn Grant! Has he considered my feelings? Has he remembered that I’m his older brother?"

Julian Sterling was seething with anger.

He had always been very protective of his younger brother. He never would have imagined that one day, his brother would become the biggest stumbling block on his path to getting back with his wife.

"Don’t be so anxious right now. You need to calm down about some things! We need to think about this from a long-term perspective."

"I am anxious! The moment I think about Evelyn Grant being with my own brother, I feel like I’m going crazy!"

Florence Morgan could only sigh again. "Calm down. Eve loved you so much before. I don’t think she could..."

"But she’s not even in contact with me anymore!"
