The Don's Orphan Wife Is A Mafia Empire Princess (Elara) novel Chapter 37

Chapter 26 They Dragged You Down

Grayson Hayes walked away slowly.

Only Ethan Miller remained standing there, staring fixedly at his back for a long time.

Five minutes later, he called his assistant.

“There’s a man who’s been hanging around Evelyn recently. Check his background. I want the results within an hour.”

Evelyn Hart was unaware of the confrontation between the two.

After they turned the corner and Ethan Miller was out of sight, Evelyn Hart felt a bit embarrassed and apologized to Grayson Hayes.

“Sorry, I got you involved in this today.”

Grayson Hayes waved his hand indifferently, and his eyes were gentle.

“It’s nothing. It’s Ethan Miller who doesn’t know how to cherish you. What does it have to do with you?”

“He doesn’t deserve you.”

Hearing this, Evelyn Hart looked up and stared at Grayson Hayes.

When she saw that there was no hint of pretence in his eyes, she froze in place.

This was the first time in so many years that someone had said Ethan Miller didn’t deserve her.

A sour feeling welled up in her heart, and she said self-deprecatingly.

“Before, they all said that I didn’t deserve Ethan Miller, that I was reaching above my station.”

Grayson Hayes became serious, and his expression was solemn.

“Evelyn, you’re really excellent. You have to believe in yourself. Even though this is only the second time I’ve met you, I can tell that you have excellent professional knowledge. It’s your family that’s holding you back. You’re kind and have sacrificed for your family. You deserve anyone.”

To be honest, if I had to point out one of your faults, it’s that you were indeed a bit blind before. I can’t see any respect

om Ethan Miller towards you. He doesn’t deserve to be your husband.”

A warm current flowed through Evelyn Hart’s heart.

It turned out that there was someone in the world who understood her sacrifices.

“All right. Since we’ve met, let’s have a meal together.”

Grayson Hayes changed the subject in a timely manner.

Evelyn Hart didn’t refuse this time and nodded with a bright smile.

“Okay, but it’s on me. Consider it a thank you for standing up for me earlier.”

Grayson Hayes didn’t refus nd said in a joking tone.

“Then I’ll have to pick a nice restaurant.”

Evelyn Hart stopped paying attention to Ethan Miller and his son and devoted herself to her career.

Unfortunately, for the time being, she still hadn’t made much progress.

Just as she was looking through medical books as usual, Caleb Gray called again.

Evelyn Hart answered the phone and said with a hint of apology in her voice.

“Sorry, Caleb. I still haven’t come up with a more reliable solution recently.”

Although Caleb Gray was a bit disappointed, he still comforted Evelyn Hart.

“Evelyn Hart, don’t be in a hurry. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. I believe in you. Let nature take its course, and maybe the solution will come to you.”

“I’m not calling you about the plan today. I want to introduce you to some of my other team members. Find some time and come out so we can meet.”

Without thinking, Evelyn Hart firmly refused.

“Caleb, no need. I want to focus on studying medical books recently. Maybe I can get some inspiration from them.”

She preferred a quiet life alone and didn’t want to be disturbed for the time being.

Caleb Gray sighed.

“Evelyn, I know I’ve put some pressure on you. But I don’t want you to push yourself too hard. You need to step out and then you can find a way to solve the problem. Do you understand?”

Evelyn Hart didn’t say anything, but her silence was a refusal.

Caleb Gray didn’t give up and continued to persuade her.

“My partner also has excellent professional knowledge. He’s been studying this case recently too. There must be things that you two haven’t considered comprehensively. Maybe after you get to know each other and communicate, you’ll come up with a plan.”

Hearing this, Evelyn Hart was a bit tempted, but she still didn’t agree right away.

Caleb Gray tried to persuade her again and again. Finally, under the enthusiastic invitation of Caleb Gray, Evelyn Hart relented.

“Okay, Caleb. The person you’re talking about sounds so excellent. I’m really curious. I’m available anytime. You can make the arrangements.”

The tutor laughed and then said.

“You should strike while the iron is hot. Since you’ve agreed, let’s meet this afternoon. Let’s make it the No. 1 private room at South Shore Hotel.”

Evelyn Hart responded, confirmed the time with Caleb Gray, and hung up the phone.

She lost the mood to read the book. So Evelyn Hart simply changed her clothes and put on a light makeup.

At the appointed time, Evelyn Hart took a taxi to the hotel.

When she arrived at the private room, Caleb Gray and the person he had mentioned were already there.

However, when she saw that person, her mind went blank for a moment.

“G-Grayson?”

There was a hint of surprise in Grayson Hayes’s eyes, and he quickly recovered.

“Miss Hart, what a coincidence. We meet again.”

Caleb Gray looked at the i raction between the two and blurted out.

“Do you two know each other?”

The two looked at each other and nodded with a smile.

Evelyn Hart walked in and sat in the seat on the other side of Caleb Gray. She smiled and explained.

“I met Mr. Hayes in the hospital when I was checking Mr. Walker’s case. We had a brief chat. And we happened to run into each other on the street a couple of days ago.”

Grayson Hayes nodded with a smile and continued.

“I should have guessed it. With your excellent professional skills, you’re exactly the genius that Caleb was talking

about.”

Caleb Gray was delighted. He hadn’t expected that his two most satisfactory juniors would know each other.

“Since you two know each other, things will be much easier.”

“You’re both promising talents. I’m entrusting my friend’s illness to the two of you.”

The two nodded.

The three of them started eating. But before they had been eating for five minutes, Caleb Gray’s phone rang.

He answered the call, and then his brows furrowed deeply.

“Okay, I understand. I’ll go over there right away.”

After hanging up the phone, he looked at Evelyn Hart with a hint of nostalgia.

“Evelyn, something’s happened at the laboratory. I have to leave now. You two can have a good chat. Drop by my place when you have time.”

Evelyn Hart nodded, stood up, and together with Grayson Hayes, saw the tutor out.

The two of them returned to the private room and sat down.

With Caleb Gray gone, they felt a bit awkward, and the atmosphere in the private room turned silent.

Finally, Grayson Hayes broke the ice.

“Evelyn, if I had known you were Caleb’s student, we should have gotten to know each other earlier.”

Evelyn Hart nodded and responded with a smile.

“Indeed. I just didn’t expect such a coincidence.”

They exchanged a few words, but it was all awkward small talk. They felt the atmosphere becoming even more awkward and could only lower their heads and eat in silence.

Evelyn Hart suddenly thought of the first time they met. After thinking for a while, she spoke up.

“You went to the hospital to look for Dr. Walker’s information that day. It seems we have the same goal.”

Grayson Hayes didn’t hide anything and nodded.

Yes and no. I was also collecting information that day. But after hearing Caleb talk about your progress, I took a hortcut and went directly to the person.”

Evelyn Hart hadn’t expected that to be the truth. She raised an eyebrow at Grayson Hayes’s behavior of taking a

shortcut.

“You’re really good at taking advantage. What do you think about this case?”
