Sorry Too Late (by J.J. Twelve) novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131 They Thought He Came to Beg

Evan had crossed them too many times and even tried to divorce Hazel. In their eyes, the least he deserved was punishment. More importantly, they wanted to see real remorse.

Only then would they consider sparing his life.

What they didn’t realize was that everything was coincidence.

Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya had it completely wrong. They waited a bit longer, but still couldn’t figure out how to stop him. Evan was growing impatient. That was because he wouldn’t be able to focus on his training until he settled things with them. “Look, Evan must be freaking out by now.”

“Yeah. He’s bracing for the worst and is probably done waffling around by now ”

“Why is he even hesitating? Pride is worthless when one’s life is on the line.”

Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya watched him, their eyes shining with excitement mixed with slight confusion.

They had expected him to walk over and apologize by now. They didn’t expect him to just stand there, utterly lost in thought.

“Cain is coming for him.”

“His life is on the line. Yet, he’s still clinging to his pride?”

Hazel shook her head.

Men with inflated egos rarely went far. In her opinion, those men cared too much about appearances and fell easily into pride’s trap, only to sabotage themselves in the end.

Evan shouldn’t have acted all high and mighty if he couldn’t live/without them.

So, the fact that he wanted to return and seek their protection only made them respect him less.

As for treating him and Zeke equally? Well, that was a joke. Evan could never measure up to him.

“Ugh… I’ve had it!” Anya finally snapped and stormed over.

They still saw him as the same man from three years earlier-someone who needed their protection.

To them, his hesitation indicated that he was seeking their forgiveness and hoping to return under their wing

“Drop the act, Evan,” they pressed.

“You’re scared Cain will come after you. That’s why you came to us. Right now, only we can save you.”

“Since you’re already here, let go of your pride. Do you have anything left to be proud of in us? Your life matters more.” Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya spoke in unison. “As long as you behave, we won’t abandon you.”

Evan stared at them, his eyes turning cold. ‘Unbelievable. I have nothing to do with them anymore, yet they still expect me to bow and apologize. Do they really think I can’t live without them?

‘Even if I apologized, do they really think the Solberg family could still be saved? This is no longer the case now. What happened three years ago, happened three years ago. Time moves forward, and people change. Hazel has changed, and so have I.’

“Get lost.” His voice cracked like thunder, cold and sharp. “You’re in my way.”
