Chapter 135: Chapter 135: No Sense of Security

"I just want to take care of you like this, and I want you to get used to being looked after! Evelyn Grant, you were always meant to be cherished."

’All the care Julian Sterling failed to give her, Ryan Sterling would make up for a hundred times over!’

’He would spoil her so rotten that if she ever left him, no one else would be able to handle looking after her!’

Evelyn Grant’s hand paused. Suddenly, she felt a sting in her nose and quickly lowered her head, pretending to look at the porridge.

"You..."

"I promise you, I’ll take care of you as much as possible without it interfering with my work. And you have to promise me you’ll let me do it, to put my mind at ease."

Ryan Sterling felt insecure now.

He never had felt secure, and now that he was with Evelyn Grant, he felt it even less.

Once you have something, you’re even more afraid of losing it.

"Every day, I’m just at the law firm or at home, and I occasionally go see my mom. What is there for you to be insecure about? Besides, if anyone should feel insecure, it ought to be me, right?"

’How many women must be interested in Ryan Sterling?’

"Evelyn Grant, no other woman can get close to me. None have in the past, and none ever will in the future."

He said it very seriously.

He looked so serious it made Evelyn Grant laugh.

"I believe you. You don’t have to be so serious when you say it! I really do."

’If Ryan Sterling were the kind of man who was casual about relationships, he wouldn’t have stayed single for so many years. Even when she was married, he never had another woman by his side!’

’On this point, Evelyn Grant didn’t have a single doubt.’

’Especially since Ryan Sterling’s devotion was even more extreme than her own!’

"So, Evelyn Grant, just listen to me. Let me take care of you and our child as much as I can! Don’t say no, okay?"

This was what he, as a husband and father, was supposed to do.

Looking into his eyes, what could Evelyn Grant possibly say?

All she could do was nod.

"Okay, I accept."

...

「At the school.」

After the last bell, Alex Grant packed up his homework and textbooks, ready to head home.

Just as he reached the school gate, he saw a crowd gathered up ahead, seemingly looking at something.

He wasn’t particularly interested in such commotions and had no intention of going over for a look.

Until someone called out his name.

"Alex! Alex, over here!"

Alex Grant stopped and glanced over.

Instantly, his brows knitted together and his expression darkened.

It was Julian Sterling.

’His sister’s ex-husband, the one who bullied her.’

His expression soured. He started to walk away, pretending he hadn’t heard.

Julian Sterling was tall and long-legged, catching up to him in just a few strides.

It hadn’t been easy for him to break away from the crowd of students gawking at his car, and even his suit was no longer perfectly neat.

"Alex, why didn’t you wait for me?"

Alex Grant pressed his lips into a thin line and glanced at him. "Because there’s no need."

"..."

"Did you need something from me?"

’Even though he couldn’t stand Julian Sterling, he remembered what his sister had told him!’

’She had told him not to provoke Julian Sterling, to just let that Chapter close.’

Seeing his cold demeanor, Julian Sterling started to suspect that Alex Grant knew what had happened between him and Evelyn Grant.

But on second thought, he figured Evelyn Grant wouldn’t have dared to say anything.

Perhaps Alex Grant was just making a wild guess.

"Alex, did your brother-in-law do something to upset you? You can tell me, it’s fine!"
