He Gave Her Strawberries, Gave Me Hives (Ford and Sylvia) novel Chapter 158

Suddenly, Dante’s world seemed to lose all sound except for Evelyn alone.

She was completely different from usual–standing under the spotlight, speaking technical knowledge that even he couldn’t understand, radiating brilitance take a bright new star illuminating everyone.

All those words he’d once thought didn’t belong to her now seemed created just for Evelyn.

She was beautiful, intelligent, resolute, radiant. No one would imagine that such a person had been a housewife just the day before–even Dante couldn believe this was Evelyn, that Evelyn.

For a moment he was mesmerized, finally realizing that Evelyn was a truly beautiful woman–not the shallow prettiness of someone like Seraphina, but a stunning beauty that shone from her eyes, from the depths of her soul.

The auditorium was completely silent, everyone listening to Evelyn’s speech, not daring to make a sound.

Only Seraphina had gone pale as death. She never could have imagined that the legendary Project Artemis director would be Evelyn. Watching her speak confidently on stage, Seraphina’s face drained of all color.

She instinctively wanted to flee, but the moment she stood up, Evelyn called out her name.

‘Since we’re all colleagues here, I’ll be direct. Miss Seraphina Voss, I understand you’re an intern at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. I’d like to know who approved your admission. Your technical knowledge is inadequate–you’re completely unqualified for this work. Allowing you to continue in the aerospace program would create irreparable risks, so I’m officially notifying you as Project Director: you’re fired.”

Seraphina collapsed into her chair as everyone’s gaze fell upon her–no longer with admiration and envy, but with mockery and disdain. Even Dante, sitting beside her, was under everyone’s scrutinizing stares.

3ut his eyes held only Evelyn now. Seeing the send–off ceremony drawing to a close as Evelyn gathered her materials to leave, Dante could no longer suppress he impulse in his heart and shot to his feet.

Evelyn. Why didn’t you ever tell me you were the Project Artemis director?!”

Evelyn smiled lightly. “Mr. Blackwood, please don’t ask questions unrelated to aerospace. The ceremony is over.”

Wait, I’m your husband! If you’re joining a classified research program, you should at least tell me. You expect me to wait five years for you?” His voice took on

in edge.

veryone who heard that he was Dr. Thorne’s husband looked at him with surprise–no one had expected the famous scientist’s husband to be here.

Dante thought he had Evelyn cornered–after all, she loved him so much, how could she just leave without a word?

ive years was too long. If Evelyn had such an important position, she couldn’t go back to being a housewife like before. He had many military duties related an he space program too–they could work together. And she’d have to reverse Seraphina’s dismissal.

le calculated internally, thinking that if he just gave her a way out, Evelyn would obediently listen to him. But Evelyn no longer obeyed his every command ke before–the Evelyn who loved him had already disappeared under his neglect!

he current Evelyn showed no hesitation. Though she wore a polite smile, it looked deeply ironic.

Mr. Blackwood, we’re already divorced. The divorce papers are on the coffee table at home. Nothing can stop me from contributing to aerospace research. Our elationship ends here.”

With that, she didn’t linger another moment and left through the backstage exit.

Jante stared at her retreating figure in disbelief. Evelyn had divorced him? How was that possible?
