Chapter 162: She’s With Me Now

Chapter 162: Chapter 162: She’s With Me Now

This family just couldn’t function without her.

That was why Julian Sterling had to get Evelyn Grant back, even if it meant swallowing his pride, neglecting his work, and pouring countless hours of effort into it.

She was the one and only mistress of this house.

No one could ever replace her.

Julian Sterling cherished the feeling of this moment so much. He wanted it to last forever, and ever...

Outside, his phone started ringing.

It rang several times, but Julian Sterling didn’t want to answer it.

But it kept ringing, and he was afraid it would wake Evelyn Grant. If she woke up, she would just leave again.

’I don’t want her to go.’

Frowning in annoyance, Julian Sterling turned and walked out of the bedroom.

The screen showed a call from one of Florence Morgan’s secondary numbers. ℯ

"Hello, Mom."

"Julian, you took my phone a while ago and I haven’t heard anything. How did it go? Did Eve fall for the text?"

Florence Morgan knew what her eldest son was planning to do with the phone, so she’d been waiting for an update.

"She fell for it."

"So, you two..."

"She’s here with me now. She just fell asleep."

Florence Morgan was stunned. It took her a moment to find her voice. "What? So does this mean... you two have made up?"

Julian Sterling couldn’t make any promises just yet.

He knew that Ryan Sterling would be returning to the country soon.

He couldn’t predict how things would play out.

"No, but I’m certain that there’s no way Evelyn Grant and Ryan can be together anymore!"

After all the trouble he had gone through, Julian Sterling considered this his greatest achievement.

"It’s not like there was anything serious between them in the first place, was there? But you’re right. Knowing Eve’s personality, after seeing that message from Ryan, she’d definitely turn him down for good."

Julian Sterling pursed his lips.

’Looks like his mother really didn’t know the whole story.’

’She didn’t know about Evelyn Grant’s pregnancy, nor that she and Ryan had already gotten together.’

’But it was better that she didn’t know. If she did, and he and Evelyn Grant got back together later, his mother would always feel awkward about it.’

"Yes. What I wanted was to make sure Ryan gives up on any ideas about Evelyn Grant!"

"Well, that’s a relief! If Eve had really gotten together with your brother, the Sterling Family would have become a laughingstock! Forget about Eve and Ryan getting together—even now, if people found out about your divorce, I can’t imagine how many people would be gossiping behind our backs!"

Florence Morgan had been a proud woman her whole life; she couldn’t stand that kind of humiliation.

"Yes, I know. That’s why I’m working so hard to win Evelyn Grant back."

"Keep it up! Mom hopes you two can work things out and put this whole mess to rest soon! And whatever you do, don’t get into another fight with Eve. She loves you so much. It’s rare to find a woman like that in this world, you know?"

Florence Morgan sighed and continued, "Back then, you insisted you were in love with that Jane Jacobs! The first time I saw her, I knew she was only with you for your money. Her intentions weren’t pure, and she’s certainly not the kind of woman you build a life with! That’s why I tried to stop you."

What mother doesn’t want the best for her own son?

It was mainly that woman—she was really no good.

"I know..."

"Sigh! You were just fooled by her. You don’t understand women! But I’m a woman, and I know exactly what people like her are thinking!" Florence Morgan scoffed. "If you had married her back then, where would your successful career be now? Where would you get the status and position you have today!"
