Blue veins stood out on his arms.

"Is it because of that man?"

‘What man?' Evelyn was confused for a moment. Then, she realized that he was referring to Sheffield. Shaking her head, she said, "No. We're just not right for each other. It has nothing to do with anyone else."

“I think we're a perfect match. Evelyn, now that Rowena has moved out of our house, I've kept her at an arm's length. You don't have to be jealous of her anymore."

*Jealous?' Evelyn smirked.

"I've never been jealous of her."

Calvert's eyes darkened. Evelyn knew that he wasn't happy to hear that.

So what? She didn't care. It had nothing to do with her. It was not her job to make him happy.

“I promise to spend more time with you in the future." He took out a brocade box from his pocket and placed it in front of her.

"When I found it in Sri Lanka, I thought of you immediately. I personally made this ring for you with the sapphire stone. I was going to use it to propose to you..."

Calvert opened the box. Inside it was a sapphire ring, which shone brightly under the lights.

Anyone could easily identify it as an invaluable top-grade gem.

Evelyn wasn't moved. She looked away from the ring and said nonchalantly, “Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Calvert, but I don't need this. Please don't bother proposing to me. Like I said, we're not right for each other."

Evelyn grabbed her bag and stood up.

“Is there anything else, Mr.

Calvert? If not, I'm leaving."

Calvert stood up too and warned, "Evelyn! You can only be my woman. I will not allow you to be with another man!"

Evelyn smiled. Fiddling with the ruby bracelet on her wrist, she said,

“A lot of men have said those same words to me..." Including the man who had held her close and called her “Eve" that night in Flando. Her smile faded and she arrogantly looked at Calvert.

"Get in line, Mr.

Calvert."

She elegantly walked away from him, leaving Calvert with zero chances to speak.

A venomous look appeared in his eyes as he watched the woman disappear from his sight. ‘Evelyn, no matter how arrogant and unwilling you are, you can only be mine for the rest of your life, ' he thought to himself.

She took the elevator down, but did not notice the number on the screen.

When the doors opened, without realizing it, she followed two other people out of the elevator.
