Chapter 168
His
outing that she wanted to strike back at Evelyn yesterday was probably because Colin played the victim and ratted her
out to Caleb first. But surprisingly, he even knew about her leaking the news of his hospitalization yesterday, which meant he must’ve had someone investigate her. No matter how much she racked her brains, it seemed that Colin was inseparably
linked to the whole mess.
Thinking of this, Ava gritted her teeth with hatred. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say to defend herself. After all, even if she didn’t say anything now, Caleb’s calm eyes were enough to make people feel afraid.
“Caleb. L… Ava stammered, but couldn’t say a word to explain. She knew Caleb very well. If he didn’t have the evidence, he wouldn’t have spoken to her like that. Then the reason why she couldn’t come in just now was self–evident. Do I have to give up so easily?” she thought.
“Caleb, I didn’t mean to do that. I was pissed off by Evelyn. I heard that you got injured to look for her. Besides, she hit me yesterday. I felt so humiliated that I let out the news that you were in the hospital. I was mad. I didn’t mean to do that. Just this once. Please forgive me, okay? I will never do that again. Ava cried with tears all over her face, looking sincerely repentant.
Sitting quietly on the bed, Caleb couldn’t help but question himself why he didn’t feel anything when he saw what was happening to Ava. In the past, he couldn’t control himself and wanted to protect her even if she shed a tear. But now, looking at her tearful face, he didn’t feel sad or disgusted. He just didn’t feel anything.
“Stop crying. As soon as Caleb’s voice came to Ava’s ears, she immediately looked up at him, with a gleam in her eyes.
You know what happened yesterday, and I also know it. I did fail you in the engagement. Later, Colin will continue to communicate with the show you wanted to shoot before, which will certainly be helpful for your career. Let’s end here.” Caleb had said so many words since Ava entered the ward. And he said it all in one go.
Hearing this, Ava knew if she said anything else, it would not leave a good impression on Caleb. On the contrary, he might not even greet her in the future. As the saying went, “Where there’s life, there’s hope.”
Thinking of this, Ava pretended to wipe the tears off her face and pretended to be sad. She looked at Caleb and said seriously, “Compared with you, my acting career is not worth mentioning at all. I can fight for that show by myself. Until now, I only have one question. Do you have feelings for Evelyn!
I don’t want anything else. I just want you to answer this question. To show her sincerity, Ava stressed again.
But she knew clearly that since she came in today, Caleb had made his plan for everything. In that case, regardless of how much she tried to refuse, Caleb would surely follow through with what he had mentioned about the show.
