He Gave Her Strawberries, Gave Me Hives (Ford and Sylvia) novel Chapter 167

Chapter 20

Research that had been stagnant for years was making new progress. Project Artemis was proceeding smoothly, and in the next three years, they would officially complete it…

Evelyn methodically explained everything, earning applause from the audience.

Behind her bright eyes lay hope that everyone yearned for.

Dante in the audience was completely mesmerized. His parched soul began to beat again because of Evelyn. He felt that in this moment, he was truly alive again.

He watched her, admired her, saw her radiant side.

When the speech ended, thunderous applause filled the hall. Amid the crowd’s cheers, Evelyn gracefully left the stage.

Dante chased after her, shouting her name like a madman.

‘Evelyn! Evelyn, it’s me! I finally get to see you!” He was blocked by security guards.

Even though Dante was a Colonel, Evelyn’s status was too important–the guards wouldn’t let anyone approach.

Evelyn turned back and saw Dante. She’d known he was in the audience earlier but hadn’t cared. She hadn’t expected him to actually chase after her.

Over these five years, completely immersed in her research, Evelyn had long stopped caring about the past–after all, her future held only aerospace projects.

But ignoring him completely wasn’t her style either. She nodded to the guards, signaling them to let him through. Dante’s face lit up with joy as he hurried to

her side.

Behind the stage, a private car was waiting for Evelyn. After saying something to the person in the car,

‘What do you want?” she asked.

she walked over to Dante.

Dante finally got to see up close the person he’d thought about day and night. But no matter how he looked, Evelyn’s eyes held only coldness and unfamiliarity oward him–no longer filled with love as they once were.

But that was okay–as long as he could see her now, there was still a chance.

Dante gave her a smile. He’d originally planned to say that he knew he’d done wrong in the past and had punished Seraphina, but looking at that familiar face. what came out was: “Evelyn, I’ve missed you so much!”

Evelyn hadn’t expected this either. She looked up at him, and Dante, feeling encouraged, poured out everything he’d experienced over the past five years.

Ever since you left, I realized I truly love you! Evelyn, without you, I don’t even have a home. I’ve been living in my office. Just thinking about going back and not seeing you there makes me feel like I’m going crazy. Every day, every second, I think about you. Evelyn, I know I did wrong in the past. Can you give me a hance to make it up to you? Can we start over? I won’t make you do any housework anymore, won’t treat you like a housewife. Evelyn, I really miss you so

nuch!”

Looking at her indifferent eyes, he kept murmuring: “I really love you so much, Evelyn. I was deceived by Seraphina before–she lied to me, said she was a JPL ntern, that’s why I took special care of her. I thought she was an important national scientist. After you went into classified research, Seraphina got the unishment she deserved. If you don’t believe me, I can take you to see her–she’s been in the reform camp this whole time.”
