Chapter 68: Chapter 68: I Believe You Can Keep Your Word

Evelyn Grant didn’t look at Julian Sterling again and walked straight upstairs.

Behind her, he watched her go, wanting to follow and continue their conversation, but Chloe Shea suddenly stopped him.

Julian Sterling froze.

"Mom?"

"Julian, tell me honestly, is it really just because... you weren’t paying enough attention to Eve that she got this angry?"

At first, she had truly believed him.

She didn’t have the slightest doubt.

But after seeing her daughter’s reaction just now, she felt something wasn’t right.

Evelyn had been an obedient child. She was stubborn, yes, but she wasn’t the type to be disrespectful for no reason.

Julian Sterling hesitated for a moment before nodding.

"Mom, I’m busy with work every day. I simply don’t have time to do anything else to make her angry! Of course, I’m reflecting on myself, too. If she says anything to you, please tell me! I’m willing to change anything."

Lying was his only option now.

At this point, Julian Sterling couldn’t afford to lose Chloe Shea’s support.

Seeing her son-in-law’s sincerity, Chloe Shea nodded. "That’s good! And don’t blame me for asking. Eve is my only daughter, and I want her to be happy! The biggest reason I agreed to let her marry into your family was that I felt our families knew each other well! I thought you wouldn’t mistreat Eve."

"You don’t have to worry about that. I truly know I was wrong this time! I promise you, as long as she can forgive me and come home with me, I will never make her angry again!"

"Mm, I believe you’re a man of your word." Chloe Shea smiled. "Come on, let’s go have some dumplings!"

"Okay."

...

After returning to her mother’s house, Evelyn Grant went straight to the kitchen to help.

Since she couldn’t get away, she did her best to avoid being alone with Julian Sterling, to prevent him from cornering her for another talk.

Evelyn Grant felt there was nothing left for them to talk about.

A moment later, Chloe Shea came in.

Seeing her daughter busy, she walked over with a smile. "Eve, have you been very busy with work lately? You need to make sure you get some rest. You can’t always focus everything on your job!"

Evelyn Grant was holding a plate, so she could only nod. "I know, Mom."

"Also, Julian came all this way. He’s spent the whole day here with me! He helped clean up the house, and he even went grocery shopping with me. I think his apology is very sincere! So don’t be angry with him anymore. Just do it for my sake! If he upsets you again next time, I definitely won’t say another word!"

Because Evelyn Grant had never told her mother or brother about her problems, in their eyes, the young couple was loving and harmonious.

That’s why when Julian Sterling came asking his mother-in-law for help this time, Chloe Shea agreed in a heartbeat, without any hesitation.

How could she have possibly known what her daughter had been through after marrying Julian Sterling?

"We’ll handle things between us. You don’t need to worry about it."

Evelyn Grant didn’t want to discuss this in front of her mother.

She couldn’t tell her the truth, but she also couldn’t listen to her advice to reconcile, so she chose to remain silent.

"Now that I know about it, how can I not worry? If I can’t see you two go home together, happy and reconciled, how am I supposed to rest easy?"

’Aren’t all parents like this?’

’You can only rest easy once you see your children are okay.’

"You have a heart condition, and your blood pressure is frighteningly high! You can’t keep dwelling on pointless things!"

"Then just tell your mother the honest truth. What really happened between you and Julian?"
