Chapter 33
Having got Julius’ promise. Aron drove to the hotel where Evelyn stayed.
After knocking on the door for a long time without any response he had to call her.
“Aron?” Evelyn called out as soon as she stepped off the elevator and saw him standing by the door, his attention on his phone.
Hearing her voice, Aron turned around and smiled softly at her, was going to call you. Evelyn. Where have you been? Your should have a good rest.
Aron stopped smiling when he noticed her pale face. He said in worry, “You’re ill. You shouldn’t have gone out.”
Evelyn playfully stuck her tongue out as she passed him by to enter the room. “Honestly, I’m feeling way better. I’m not as frail as you seem to think. Aron. Just needed a little air-that room was like a sauna.
Aron followed her in, shutting the door quietly. He guided her to the sofa with gentle hands and fixed her with a concerned gaze. As he looked over her pale face and lips, he couldn’t hide his worry. “Evelyn, is there something you’re not telling me? Are you sure you’re okay?”
He thought, ‘Is it because of her illness? The doctor said that she would be fine as long as she had a good rest. Was he wrong?
Hearing that, Evelyn smiled and said, “I’m fine. Really.”
Thinking about the doctor’s suggestion that she would do a follow-up checkup, she thought that maybe she should inform Aron of her plan, so she said, “Tve spent a long time in Romaine, Aron. I’d like to settle down here, but my dad and Jason are both in Clusia and I miss them so much, so I think I’m going to go back recently.”
Aron knew that Evelyn was trying to change the subject, so he just let it go.
He asked, “Will you come back to Romaine?”
Evelyn Jowered her head, saying nothing. When Aron felt his palms sweat, he heard her say, “I will. I want to live in Romaine. It’s a romantic city”
Only then did Aron breathe a sigh of relief. He wiped his hands with his pants and said with a smile, “What a coincidence. I’m going back in a few days. We can keep each other company.
“Are you going back to Glovia, Aron?” asked Evelyn.
He then answered. “Yeah. I have something to deal with there. By the way, Evelyn Jewelry is doing well and it’s a pity to see it close. You can run it again and I’ll give the brand back to you.”
Aron’s brow furrowed with worry. On his last visit to Clovia, he had come across a jewelry business for sale, one that belonged to Evelyn, a girl he had grown up with. Wanting to keep things discreet, he’d secretly joined the auction but hadn’t asked why she was selling
Now he realized that Evelyn left the company and came to Irinland because of Caleb This thought made him uneasy.
Evelyn was caught off guard when Aron brought it up. She furrowed her brow, hesitated a moment, and then said, “When I left, I handed all that off to my secretary. By now, the companys probably been dissolved. Really, it’s okay, Aron. Since you own the trademark now, I’m content just knowing it’s in good hands.”
Evelyn had hastily put the Evelyn Jewelry brand up for sale, entrusting Bobby to manage the details. The last update she gut was that the brand had been snapped up right away. Desperate to get out of Clovia back then, she’d urged Bobby to wrap up the company’s closure with haste. As she made her departure, si severed all her ties to Clovia, leaving her past behind. Knowing Bobby for his efficiency, she had no doubt that he had shut down the company as instructed.
