Chapter 125: Chapter 125: She Already Has a Boyfriend

"Eve! I really do like you as my daughter-in-law! I don’t want you and Julian to really end things just like this..."

"You might not want that, but there can’t be anything between him and me anymore. I hope you can accept this fact."

Even with her good temper, Evelyn Grant felt that Florence Morgan forcing her and Julian Sterling together like this was rather disrespectful.

She had already made herself clear many times, but the other woman just kept ignoring her. It was getting to be a bit much.

"Mom is just doing this because she likes you so much..."

"But you have to consider my feelings, don’t you? My divorce from Julian Sterling is a done deal. That’s not going to change! Try to see it from a different perspective. If this had happened to you, could you forgive him?"

"..."

"If the evidence proving my innocence hadn’t been found at the critical moment, I would have already been executed! How am I supposed to forgive Julian Sterling for what he did to me?"

This was something that, no matter who it happened to, would make it hard to even say the word "forgive."

Florence Morgan was taken aback by her firm attitude.

Indeed, for so many years, Evelyn Grant had always given people the impression of being soft and weak, never one to raise her voice at anyone.

So for her to be acting like this, Florence Morgan knew she must have been pushed to her limit.

But...

’But there was nothing Florence Morgan could do!’

Her son was pressuring her. She had to coax Evelyn Grant back to remarry him.

"Eve..."

"You don’t need to say any more. If you’re asking me to help with lawsuits just for this reason, then please don’t do it again in the future."

"Why don’t you calm down a bit? We can talk about this again later."

"I don’t need to calm down about anything, Mom. I’ve already started my new life. Julian Sterling and I are over."

’A new life?’

Florence Morgan froze. "You... you’re in a new relationship?"

’This was the one thing she hadn’t considered!’

"Yes. So there’s absolutely no chance for Julian Sterling and me. You should stop thinking about it."

"Who? Your new relationship... who is it with?"

Evelyn Grant didn’t answer her question. After all, there was still her own mother to consider.

"That’s my private life. I’m sorry, but it’s enough that you know this much. If you keep ignoring my wishes and insisting on pushing me and Julian Sterling together, then I’ll find it very troubling, and my boyfriend won’t be happy about it either!" Evelyn Grant paused for a moment before saying, "I have other things to do, so I have to go."

...

The call ended, and Florence Morgan’s heart leaped into her throat.

’Evelyn Grant has a new boyfriend?’

’She actually turned the page and went and found a new boyfriend!’

’This is bad.’

’How am I supposed to tell my eldest son about this?’

’The main thing is, who could Evelyn Grant’s new boyfriend be?’

’Could it be Ryan Sterling?!’

Florence Morgan clutched her heart, taking a long time to compose herself before taking out her phone, planning to sound out her younger son.

She made the call, and it rang a few times.

Ryan Sterling didn’t pick up.

This made Florence Morgan even more uneasy.

Fortunately, it wasn’t long before Ryan Sterling called back.

"What’s up?"

"Ryan, I just called Eve. Did you know she already has a boyfriend? You can stop dreaming now!"

He seemed stunned for a moment on the other end. "A boyfriend? Did Evelyn Grant tell you that herself?"

"Of course! How else could I be so sure? She told me to stop trying to set her up, that she already has a boyfriend, and even said she was worried he would get angry!"
