Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Text Message Screenshot

"Then can you send me a screenshot of your texts?"

Florence Morgan froze.

"What do you want this for?"

"Just don’t worry about it. I have my reasons." Julian Sterling paused, afraid his mother would refuse. He added, "This screenshot will determine whether or not I can win Eve back!"

"Oh? In that case, I’ll send it to you right now!"

After they hung up, Florence Morgan immediately sent the screenshot.

Looking at the conversation, a smirk played on Julian Sterling’s lips.

’Talk about snatching victory from the jaws of defeat.’

"Heh."

’Trying to steal my woman?’

’My little brother is still a bit too naive.’

...

Evelyn Grant slept restlessly that night.

She dreamed her mother found out about her and Julian Sterling, had a heart attack, and was rushed to the hospital.

The doctor kept scolding her, asking why she, as a daughter, hadn’t taken better care of her mother.

Evelyn Grant was so overwhelmed with guilt she couldn’t even raise her head.

She wanted to say something, but suddenly, she woke up!

Eyes wide open, Evelyn Grant stared at the white ceiling, taking a long moment to come to her senses.

’Thank God...’

’It wasn’t real.’

’Her mother wasn’t in the hospital, and no one had found out about her and Julian Sterling.’

Evelyn Grant got up to wash her face. When she walked out of her room, she was surprised to find Ryan Sterling there.

Breakfast was already laid out on the dining room table.

The fragrant aroma of congee filled the air.

’Evelyn Grant suddenly realized she was getting used to this kind of life. Ryan Sterling had silently crept into her world!’

"Let’s eat first. Then I’ll go with you to the firm."

He was dressed in dark loungewear as he rose to ladle some congee for Evelyn Grant.

’His movements were so natural, as if they were an old married couple!’

"Go with me to the firm?" Evelyn Grant paused, taken aback.

Ryan Sterling’s lips curved as his dark eyes met hers. "Your prenatal check-up today is real. You weren’t just saying that to spite my brother."

"...Oh."

A sudden wave of guilt washed over Evelyn Grant.

’So much had happened recently, one thing after another, leaving her no chance to breathe.’

’It had left her with no headspace to even think about the baby in her womb.’

’And yet, there was Ryan Sterling...’

’He always remembered the child.’

’He never for a moment stopped thinking about it.’

"You can focus on your work. I’ll take you during your lunch break."

"During my lunch break? But won’t the hospital staff be on break too?"

"They won’t be. I’ve arranged for a private doctor, just for you." Ryan Sterling smiled. "Our child deserves the best of everything, right from the start. Evelyn Grant, you have no idea how much I want this baby to come into the world healthy and safe."

’To Ryan Sterling, this child was like a gift from heaven!’

’He’d never even dared to imagine that one day he and Evelyn Grant would have a child together.’

’After learning the man Evelyn Grant wanted to marry was his older brother, Ryan Sterling had already resigned himself to being single for life, never to marry or have children.’

’So, what a different meaning this child must have for him.’

’Perhaps even Ryan Sterling himself would find it hard to put into words.’

"I..."

"But don’t feel pressured. I’m not saying all this to make you overthink things. You’re the one who promised me you’d keep the baby, right?"

"Yes."

Evelyn Grant lowered her head and pressed her lips together.

An indescribable feeling welled up inside her.

’To think that just a short while ago, she was plotting how to deceive him...’

’Now, hearing him say all this, she was so ashamed of herself she couldn’t even bear to look up!’
