Torn Between Love and Hate novel Chapter 236

Chapter 236 We Need to Talk 

Deborah suddenly realized that Evelyn had said something she shouldn’t have, and immediately became anxious to hang up the phone. 

Evelyn sensed that something was off and glanced at the call duration displayed on Deborah’s phone. 

Before hanging up the phone, Adrian’s voice came through from the other end, “Perfect, I didn’t have my eyes on you either.” 

After finishing speaking, the other party hung up the phone first. 

Deborah looked embarrassed, wanting to open her mouth and explain. 

Evelyn spoke nonchalantly, “It’s fine if he heard it. I’ve been wanting to tell him anyway. He’s calling you now probably because he’s afraid I’ll go back and pester him. Well, he can rest assured.” 

After hesitating for quite a while, Deborah finally spoke up, “Eve, there’s something I’m not sure if I should say or 

not.” 

Evelyn misunderstood her meaning and explained helplessly with a frustrated expression, “No, I really am not – interested in Adrian. 

You really don’t need to persuade me. From the very beginning, I was going for the year-end bonus, and it’s not like you don’t know that. 

He really doesn’t have any qualities that would attract me. He’s fickle and narcissistic. As for money, us, the Moore 

family is wealthy too, more than enough for me to spend.” 

Besides, she could earn money herself, and what she earned was enough to cover her own expenses. 

As for more money, she didn’t need it to buy a country and become its king, so what was the point of having so much money? 

To be fair, Adrian’s face and physique were quite impressive. 

At the very least, he was a superstar of the highest caliber, standing tall at six feet two inches, with impeccable facial features that were beyond reproach. 

As for his figure, it all started when she was dining out with the Moxley family. She accidentally stumbled and fell onto 

Adrian. 

Through his shirt, she could feel that he was quite sturdy. She even fantasized about it back then. 

After all, she was a sucker for good looks, and it was difficult for her to resist the allure of beauty. 

But later, after Adrian expressed some persecutory delusion remarks, her fondness for him quickly plummeted into negative territory. 

A man who’s good in appearance only, huh! 

Evelyn still gets angry when she thinks about the words Adrian said. 

After she finished speaking, she added resentfully, “In any case, I could never be attracted to someone like him.” 

I really don’t know what he’s worrying about day by day. 

Afraid that I would pester him again after returning, he hurriedly called Deborah. 

Deborah looked at her and said, “I know you’re not into him, but what I mean is, it seems like he’s into you.’ 

Deborah and Evelyn have been getting along for many years now, and Deborah was quite familiar with Evelyn’s 

personality. 

Evelyn couldn’t fool Deborah. She could tell whether Evelyn was pretending not to be interested in Adrian or if she genuinely wasn’t interested. 

Evelyn was caught off guard and started coughing uncontrollably. 

She chuckled coldly, “Please, don’t try to scare me. Those big celebrities have their noses in the air. We ordinary folks can’t even dream of catching their eye.” 

Deborah spoke seriously, “Who’s joking with you? During those days when you left the Moxley family and stayed at the hotel, Adrian went out of his way to ask about you several times. 

I jokingly said when you go back to Oceanview City, you went on a blind date. His expression changed immediately. To be honest, I think he’s not a bad person, just a bit stubborn and sometimes speaks harshly. Why don’t you consider giving him a chance?” 

Evelyn gritted her teeth in frustration, “No way! He only asked you about me because he’s afraid I’ll pester him it I got 

back” 

Deborah didn’t push further, saying, “Alright, just think it through. I just feel that he’s way better than those awful blind date guys, at least.” 

Evelyn had been set up on blind dates by her family before, so she had seen all sorts of men. 

Evelyn gets a headache just thinking about it. “My parents went back to their home country yesterday and told me they’ve arranged a few more potential matches for me. They insist that this time they’ve found reliable candidates and 

that I must meet them. 

You know my mom’s temperament. If things don’t go her way, she’ll cry, make a scene, and even threaten to hang herself. She says I’m going to end the family line, and I really can’t deal with them anymore.” 

Deborah leaned in closer to offer her advice, “You can’t keep going on blind dates like this every day. Why not ask Adrian for help? He’s a professional actor, so it shouldn’t be a problem for him.” 

Evelyn thought for a moment before realizing, “Stop teasing, you just think he doesn’t respect me enough.” 

Deborah laughed, “You see, he’s also being pressured to get married by the Moxley family. You help him deal with the Moxley family, and he helps you deal with the Moore family. Even if you don’t become a real couple, being partners in this isn’t so bad, right?” 

Evelyn pulled up outside Jingron Design, bringing the car to a stop. 

She playfully parted Deborah on the shoulder and said, “Miss, instead of constantly trying to set others up, you should focus on yourself first. When do you plan on marrying my boss and having a wedding?” 

Deborah gave a light cough and said, “Keep watching, it’s almost time. I’ll invite you and Adrian to join us when it’s ready.” 

Evelyn’s face changed: “Who wants to join him?” 

Deborah laughed, “What I meant was, Adrian will attend as Alyssa’s uncle. You’ll come as my friend. Why are you overreacting? Did I say something wrong?” 

Evelyn’s face turned red. “I didn’t have such a big reaction.” 

Deborah got out of the car with a smile and said, “I’m heading in now. Good luck with your blind date!” 

Evelyn said, “Get lost.” 

Deborah got out of the car, and Evelyn drove away. 

As Deborah was about to enter the company, she thought to herself that she needed to hurry up and finish two design. 

drafts. 

Yesterday, on her very first day at work, Simone encountered an issue that caused some delay. 

Additionally, Simone is dealing with a divorce case, and she also needs help with making connections. 

Thinking that time was tight, she went straight to the opposite side, planning to get a takeout meal from the 

restaurant. 

When it’s lunchtime, there’s no need to go downstairs to cat. Just heat the food in the microwave and it’s good to go.
