Chapter 587: You Have to Be Physically Up to It
Evelyn lowered her eyes, her eyes wet, but she even softened her breathing, not daring to admit she heard Logan Shaw’s words.
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. Finally, Evelyn couldn’t hold back any longer and pressed the hang-up button.
Tears fell with a "plop" sound at that moment, Evelyn covered her mouth, not letting herself cry out loud.
What should I do?
How can she make amends with Logan Shaw?
There are so many women better than her in this world, she hopes Logan Shaw is happy, she hopes he can live happier than her!
Wiping the tears away, Evelyn took a deep breath, then calmed her emotions and dialed Logan Shaw’s number again.
This time, Logan Shaw answered quickly.
"Evelyn." Logan Shaw still called Evelyn’s name gently.
"Did I just call you?" Evelyn pretended as if she knew nothing, "It was Kiki! She had my phone and somehow it dialed your number! It’s really a... magical dog!"
"Really?" Logan Shaw chuckled softly, "It’s okay, I don’t have to pay to take your call anyway."
"Hahaha—" Evelyn laughed heartily.
Then, as if she suddenly remembered, she spoke again: "Isn’t your concert going to start? I haven’t come to pick up the tickets yet! I definitely have to listen!"
"Alright!" Logan Shaw responded, "Tickets are reserved for all of you, if you don’t come, the seats will be empty."
"We will definitely come!" Evelyn promised.
Thinking of L’s message, Evelyn couldn’t help but ask again: "By the way, is your health okay?"
"Why... do you ask?" Logan Shaw’s tone hinted at caution.
"I... I don’t mean anything else!" Evelyn stuttered a bit, "Just... thinking that since you’re having a concert, you should be in excellent health! Otherwise, it’s so tiring to play the piano for such a long time, your health needs to hold up well!"
Listening to Evelyn’s concern, Logan Shaw looked at his plastered hand, his face filled with deep sorrow.
"Hmm." Logan Shaw responded, "I’m alright, I can... get through the concert smoothly."
"That’s good!" Evelyn exhaled lightly, "Also, I need to apologize on behalf of Caden; sometimes he loses his temper instantly, especially when it comes to my matters. He didn’t mean to target you, can you... forgive him?"
"Evelyn." Logan Shaw laughed bitterly, "Actually... you don’t have to apologize to me, or maybe, my heart would feel better." His tone conveyed deep complexity.
Evelyn frowned, feeling that Logan Shaw’s mood seemed very low today.
After hesitating for a while, Evelyn spoke again: "In any case, you will definitely be very successful! Also, you will find an amazing woman!"
"Hmm." Logan Shaw responded, "I will... try hard."
Hearing this, a faint arc curved on Evelyn’s lips.
She thought Logan Shaw should find it easier to move on from his admiration for her!
After all, she’s not a woman so good that he’s got to have her!
After chatting with Logan Shaw for a while, Evelyn made an excuse about having something to do and hung up the phone, looking at the quiet scenery outside the window, Evelyn sighed deeply.
She hopes everyone around her is doing well, make sure not to miss a single person’s happiness!
...
At night, when Caden Lockwood returned, Evelyn was still thinking about her own brother’s matters.
After dinner, Evelyn restlessly paced around her bedroom until she finally went to Caden Lockwood’s study, seeing him dealing with work, she pretended to take a few books to read, but her eyes didn’t stray from him.
Caden Lockwood raised his eyes, looked at Evelyn, and asked: "What’s wrong? Looking for me for something?"
