Chapter 279 Evan’s Actual Birthday

In the end, Roxanne was still nothing more than a tool.

If she hadn’t already signed a marriage agreement with Evan, she would never have been given such a golden opportunity.

Sadie even thought of having Wendy pursue Evan before finding out his identity. After all, she had always believed Wendy was better than Roxanne.

But after learning how extraordinary Evan was, she knew Wendy stood no chance.

As the Leightons knew that Wendy was definitely no match for other heiresses if they did it the normal way, they eventually concluded the safest way to tie Evan down was to have Roxanne marry him.

“Lucky her!” Wendy said bitterly.

“Next, it’s up to Stefan to talk to Evan.”

Still not fully reassured, Thaddeus called Stefan again and asked him to pass along the message that Evan should come and marry Roxanne in three days.

“Yeah, yeah. We’ll pass it on!”

Stefan hung up the phone in irritation. However, he didn’t call Evan to talk about the matter, for he and his wife knew Evan wouldn’t be interested in marrying Roxanne, who was as selfish as Hazel and Anya.

In fact, they strongly suspected Evan had already rejected the proposal outright and that the Leightons were simply entertaining themselves.

As Evan’s adoptive parents, Stefan and Cynthia understood him very well.

Truthfully, Evan had directly turned down the marriage proposal when he returned the life-saving drug to the Leightons the other day. He even warned them not to let Roxanne get close to him, as they were long over.

But the Leightons were so overwhelmed by the return of the life-saving medicine-and by what they now knew of Evan’s extraordinary abilities-that they had completely forgotten his words.

All they could think about now was getting Roxanne to marry him.

Unfortunately for them, in Evan’s eyes, Roxanne, Hazel, and Anya were all part of the past.

At this moment, he returned to Nine Courts.

On the way home, he noticed several suspicious people watching him.

He knew they were all Gabriel’s men.

Having failed to deal with Evan during the divorce had left a chip on Gabriel’s shoulder. Therefore, he was determined to find evidence that Evan no longer had a connection to the Solbergs.

Nevertheless, Evan pretended not to notice them and simply let them follow him. He was confident that Gabriel would discover that he and the Solbergs actually had severed ties long ago.

“Evan!”

As soon as he returned to Nine Courts, Sylvie and Estelle rushed to greet him.

Both of them looked thrilled. Evan’s divorce meant they finally had a chance to marry him. And judging from the current situation, the two of them clearly had the strongest chance.

“Hmm? What’s wrong?” Evan asked. Now that he was finally stepping into a new chapter of his life, he was in an exceptionally good mood.

Sylvie and Estelle immediately sat down on either side of him, each hugging one of his arms. “Evan, guess what day it is in three days?”

“What?”

“It’s your birthday!” they exclaimed together, their faces full of excitement. “We’re planning to throw you an unforgettable birthday party!”

Only then did Evan realize that his birthday was approaching.

For a moment, he fell silent. His thoughts drifted back to the past.

‘Back then, Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya had also celebrated my birthday and even prepared luxury gifts for me every year. But instead of feeling happy, I always felt depressed… even angry. Why? Because they celebrated it on April 28-the one date I could never forget, because that was actually Zeke’s birthday.
