Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 1326

Chapter 1326 Remember to Apply the Ointment

"Are you trying to have a say in my marriage with Colton, Mr. Yael? I never thought you had such a peculiar hobby. You're not exactly young anymore. It's time to find someone for yourself." Seeing that Ryan hadn't responded, Evelyn went on the offensive.

Ryan was a very suspicious person. If she didn't continue to provoke him, he might easily start doubting the truthfulness of her words later on.

"You…" As expected, he seemed frustrated, as his response was cut short after just a single word.

At this moment, she let out a sigh of relief, but she didn't fully relax. She remained tense, waiting for his reply.

"Hah, marriage? Colton has never had any intention of marrying you. Don't flatter yourself. Let me tell you. I'll defeat Colton sooner or later." His tough words were aimed at provoking her. Right after that, he hung up the phone.

Listening to the busy tone on the other end of the call, she finally felt a weight lifted from her chest. Ryan must have firmly believed me. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so frustrated and almost revealed his plans.

Evelyn didn't sleep that night.

At 7.00AM, Evelyn paced in her room, unsure whether she should go out or not. What if Colton acts the same way as yesterday? How can I face the maids if he lays a hand on me in front of them?

Suddenly, she remembered the cold looks she had received from the maids when she was pregnant. I don't want to return to that past.

"Where's Evelyn?" It was Colton's voice. Although the room was soundproofed, his voice at the door was distinct. The otherwise quiet bedroom made the sound even more pronounced.

She quickly leaned against the door, pressing her ear against it as she listened to the sounds outside. Meanwhile, she tended to her swollen right cheek, fearful of further injury.

"Mrs. Gardner hasn't come out of her room yet. She's probably still sleeping."

When Evelyn sensed the cautious tone even in the maid's response, her heart sank at once. As expected, Colton's mood hasn't improved. I need to think carefully about how to explain the voodoo bug to him.

Knock. Knock. Knock.
