Chapter 610: Chapter 314: The One Who Loves You Won’t Bear to See You Suffer (2 More Updates)
Nolan Moore tightly grips her shoulders: "Evie, what are you planning to do?"
"You should stay out of this matter; it’s between Kay Forrest and me.
Nolan, don’t get yourself involved, I don’t want to drag you down too."
Evie Larkin stood up from Nolan Moore’s restraint and stared at him: "From now on, whatever I do, you’d better mind your own business."
After saying this, she turned around to head back to the villa.
Nolan Moore stepped forward and grabbed her wrist with one hand.
"I’ve never criticized the things you’ve done before.
As long as you said it wasn’t you, I chose to believe you.
But this time it’s different, Evie, you can’t keep going on like this.
I know you love Kay Forrest, and that you’re in great pain because you can’t have him.
But suffering isn’t an excuse for wrongdoing.
Think about how good Mr. Forrest has been to you.
Think about how innocent Jane Quinlan is.
Maybe breaking up with Kay Forrest is something you can’t accept.
But how can you ruin someone else’s happiness just because you’re upset?
I’ve never given much credence to what Kay Forrest said, but this time he’s right.
Jane Quinlan is innocent; what role did she play in your past relationship?
Nothing at all.
She came into the picture after you and Kay Forrest broke up.
If you were really that resentful, why didn’t you hold onto Kay Forrest back then?
If you let go back then, you have no reason to regret it now.
Jane Quinlan shouldn’t have to pay for your regrets.
Also, did Mr. Forrest raise you just to ruin his son’s happiness?"
"Enough," Evie Larkin covered her ears and yelled in anger, "Is all this really my fault?
I never wanted Mr. Forrest to raise me.
How did my parents die?
It was Mr. Forrest who changed my life.
Back when my parents were alive, I was a happy Princess.
I lived carefree every day in a complete family.
If not for Mr. Forrest, I wouldn’t be in such a sorry state today.
I wouldn’t have had the chance to meet Kay Forrest, or to fall in love with him.
Without knowing him, I wouldn’t have gone through all this suffering.
If fate arranged for me to meet Kay Forrest because of this marriage, then why did it snatch him away from me?
I really don’t understand what makes Jane Quinlan better than me.
Clearly, I’ve known him for a longer time; why can’t he see my worth?
I’ve endured for over a decade; I’ve tolerated everything he did abroad because I believed that I was wrong initially, so long as I kept waiting, one day he would see my changes.
Don’t even convicts get a chance to make a final statement?
Why does Kay Forrest have to be so cruel to me?
Does loving him have to be so humiliating?
I can’t accept this; how could I possibly concede?"
Evie Larkin sobbed uncontrollably with her hands over her face: "I didn’t know loving someone could be so painful.
If I had known, I wouldn’t have easily fallen in love with him."
"If you feel so wronged, why did you change your heart back then.
That’s how romantic relationships are; there are chances to be together, and chances of breaking up.
You can’t afford to be so unwilling to lose.
For your sake, I once disliked Jane Quinlan too.
But she is innocent.
The pain you’re enduring now should not be inflicted on her.
Kay Forrest doesn’t love you anymore, can’t you see that?
Even if you forcefully pull him to your side, what would change?
Would that make him fall in love with you again?
Have you seen how well he treats Jane Quinlan?
Are you confident that he could treat you the same as he treats her?"
"Stop talking, enough, stop it," Evie Larkin yelled angrily, his words just couldn’t reach her: "Nolan Moore, can you please just leave me alone?"
"Should I just watch you self-destruct?
Snap out of it.
If a man truly loves you, how could he bear to see you suffer so much?
Kay Forrest doesn’t love you; there isn’t a hint of affection in the way he looks at you.
Can’t you feel his disgust towards you?
"Do you know you’re a proud princess?"
"Why do you have to turn into a hateful devil for Kay Forrest."
"It’s not too late to stop now. I’ll take you away, leave this place, and start over."
"Trust me, you’re still young. Someday, you will meet your true love."
"Please, stop talking, just stop," she cried, pushing him away and running off.
Nolan Moore wanted to chase after her but hesitated.
In her obsession to get Kay, she had gone mad; he knew he could never persuade her.
What can he do with a stubborn woman who covered her ears?
Nolan Moore sighed heavily and turned back to the Forrest Family’s house.
When he entered, laughter and cheerful voices came from the study.
Jane Quinlan was playfully begging Mr. Forrest to let her have five moves.
Mr. Forrest said, "A true man never takes back his move."
Jane giggled, "I’m not a man, I’m a little woman. Uncle, won’t you let me make the move? If not, I’m going to die."
Kay Forrest intervened, "Dad, just let her have it. Even if you do, she still won’t win, and it will just extend the game time a bit, which is good."
"Hey, you say that, but what if I win?"
Mr. Forrest nodded, "Alright, I’ll let you have it. If you win, Kay will cook dinner for us tonight."
Jane nodded, "And if you win, Kay will still cook dinner for us."
"Ah, the way you two are calculating this, it seems like either way, I’m at a loss."
Jane rolled her eyes at him, "That’s what you don’t understand.
Betting should involve something most precious.
You have to realize, the most precious person to uncle and me is you."
Kay tapped her forehead, "Alright, you little brat, always teasing me."
Mr. Forrest glared at him, "Be gentle, Jane is pregnant."
"Tch, how come I feel like I’m the afterthought when my grandchild is involved?"
Jane laughed heartily, "We’re a perfect match then. I am just someone my mom picked up from a trash can."
Nolan Moore stood in the living room, envious of the cheerful laughs inside.
That was the picture of a happy family.
During the days he stayed at the Forrest Family, he observed that Kay never talked this much.
Neither had he heard Mr. Forrest laugh so heartily.
He sighed deeply and walked to the door of the study. Though he knew he shouldn’t, he felt it necessary to have a talk with Kay at this moment.
Seeing him return, Kay hugged him, "What are you doing standing at the door?"
"Do you have a moment to talk?"
"I’m busy, can’t you see I’m watching the chess game?"
Jane slapped his thigh, this guy was so stubborn: "You don’t need to watch, your meal tonight is already settled, go outside."
Mr. Forrest nodded, "Agreed."
Kay raised his eyebrow looking at Nolan Moore and, seeing his serious expression, stood up and walked to the door, "Let’s talk in my room."
The two walked up the stairs, one after the other, and entered the room. Kay lazily sprawled on the bed.
Nolan Moore sat down on the chair opposite.
Seeing him not talking, Kay got annoyed, "Weren’t we supposed to talk? Or are you looking for a topic now?"
"Recently, Evie might be a bit off. You and Jane should be careful."
Kay sat up a bit, "What, is she up to her tricks again?"
"I don’t know what she plans to do.
It’s just that she has been quite extreme recently, and I’m worried she might do something outrageous."
"Tch," Kay frowned, "She really has become like an irritating plaster."
"Actually, think about it, Evie is quite pitiful.
All these years, she has been waiting for you..."
"Stop it, don’t talk to me about useless things.
My fiancée is pregnant, I’m getting married soon.
You should know all this.
It’s problematic of you to even bring this up.
Nolan, I’m telling you, don’t meddle in things between me and Evie Larkin, you can’t handle it.
Also, even if I weren’t getting married, I wouldn’t go back to her.
Thinking about it, I never liked her as much as she thought I did back then.
So I have no reason to be responsible for a past relationship that was so innocent it didn’t even involve holding hands.
And it’s not like I did anything; even if I slept with her, there are plenty of other women I’ve been with.
If I really had to take responsibility, she wouldn’t be first in line."
Who else but Kay Forrest could state such things with such righteousness?
Seeing how angrily Evie Larkin left just now, he was really worried, unsure of what she intended to do.
What could he do to stop her?
We are all friends after all; I can’t just watch her make a disastrous mistake."
