Evelyn wrote it and handed it to Alexander.
Alexander lay down to rest.
Evelyn watched him, her feelings tangled.
She worried about his health.
But she also felt a little defeated.
She had given in.
Yet when she thought about his well-being, everything else seemed less important.
So she slowly let it go.
Because Evelyn had promised to forgive Alexander.
They would live well together from now on.
Alexander was like he had taken a miracle cure.
He recovered more each day.
The doctor said his healing speed was astonishing.
Within a few days, Alexander was able to leave the hospital.
While packing, Alexander pretended to search.
He pulled the old guarantee out from under the pillow.
“Found it?” Evelyn asked, surprised.
“Now that you have a backup, you don’t have to worry about me going back on my word!” Alexander replied triumphantly.
Evelyn shot him a speechless look.
She began to suspect he had hidden it on purpose.
He had pretended to lose it just to make her write another one.
She had seen bad people before.
But never someone so shameless and wicked.
After packing, they prepared for discharge.
Grace Miller would handle the paperwork.
Evelyn told the driver to take them straight home.
“Didn’t you say we were going back to Sterling Manor?” Alexander turned his head, a little anxious.
“The baby is still at my parents’ house. Don’t worry about him!” Evelyn said, exasperated.
“The nanny will take care of him anyway. We’ll live together in a few days!” Alexander wrapped his arms around Evelyn, answering with great confidence.
“You want to go back to a world of just the two of us. Right now, I just want to go back and be with my baby!”
Alexander immediately grew jealous of his son.
Evelyn had her own reasons.
On one hand, the baby was still at her mother’s house.
On the other hand, Alexander was particular about his bed.
His bed was still in her bedroom.
Even though he was discharged, he still needed rest and recovery.
He was so used to that bed.
If they went back to Sterling Manor, he wouldn’t be able to rest.
Back home, Evelyn rushed Alexander upstairs to rest.
After taking a bath, Evelyn changed clothes.
She went outside to play with her son.
She came back every day to hold him for a while.
But she still spent less time with him than usual.
So now that she was back, she just wanted to have fun with him.
Alexander stood at the bedroom window.
He watched his wife and son play.
He couldn’t help but feel jealous.
Alas, his son was more important than him!
If he had known, he would have waited until he was forty to have children.
No, fifty!
Well, by then, they probably wouldn’t be able to have any.
Now he just hoped the baby would grow up quickly.
Then he could go out on his own.
That way, he and Evelyn could continue their life together.
Evelyn and her son played in the yard.
Her son giggled from time to time.
Evelyn’s face was full of smiles.
At that moment, Evelyn looked up.
She saw Alexander standing at the window.
Her smile froze for a second.
But she laughed again the next moment.
Alexander stood at the window and mouthed to Evelyn,
“I want to play too!”
Evelyn nodded with a smile.
The next second, Alexander disappeared from the window.
Evelyn didn’t think much of it.
She turned back to tease her son.
After a while, a shadow fell in front of her.
She turned her head and saw Alexander.
He had actually come downstairs.
He had consciously put on an extra layer of clothing.
So the couple leaned together and teased their son.
Victoria saw them from upstairs.
She thought it was very warm.
So she took a picture.
Alexander had the picture enlarged and framed.
He hung it in their bedroom.
Victoria joked that they had to pay her a copyright fee.
Alexander gave her a car directly.
Victoria felt Alexander’s wealth for the first time.
She was embarrassed to accept it.
After all, she had only been joking.
Evelyn told Victoria,
“Anyway, all his money is mine. Just think of it as a gift from me!”
So Victoria took it without hesitation.
Alexander stayed at home for a few days.
He wanted to take his wife and son back to Sterling Manor.
“Go back first. I’ll stay with my son for a few more days,” Evelyn said.
“No, we have to go back and live together!” Alexander refused directly.
“Then you’d better stay a few more days too.” Evelyn didn’t care.
“My mother will have a problem with that!”
“The baby lives here. My parents are too happy to have any objections!” Evelyn replied.
“Your mother-in-law won’t like it!”
“Then move back quickly!” Evelyn wouldn’t give in.
“You can’t go back on your word!” Alexander had to say.
“I never said I would!”
“The guarantee!” Alexander reminded her.
“I only promised to forgive you and live well with you. I didn’t promise to move back to Sterling Manor with you!” Evelyn answered calmly.
She had promised Alexander that after he left the hospital, she would go back to Sterling Manor with him and live well.
But the guarantee didn’t say that.
So she didn’t have to admit it!
Alexander looked at Evelyn helplessly.
As Evelyn passed him, she replied with a smile,
“I learned from you!”
Then she walked out of the bedroom triumphantly.
However, even though Evelyn said that, she didn’t stay at her mother’s house forever.
Because there is always a way around every rule.
Alexander always found a way to make her feel it wasn’t suitable to stay at her mother’s house.
She had to pack up her things.
With the baby and the nanny, she went back to Sterling Manor with Alexander.
And, of course, the bed.
Later, when Evelyn went into the bedroom and saw the bed, she always wanted to laugh.
That bed was something else.
Although they couldn’t return to the peace of their old life, living peacefully like this seemed good.
Alexander still went to work every day.
But he always tried to come home for dinner in the evening.
He also tried not to work overtime on weekends.
He spent time with his wife and son.
Sometimes Charlotte Moore smiled for a long time.
She said Evelyn was living a life like a pig.
Evelyn replied with a smile.
It was also a kind of enjoyment.
So Charlotte gnashed her teeth with jealousy.
She had the urge to find a man and get married.
Later, one time, the two of them went shopping together.
Charlotte asked Evelyn,
“Why do you think you were able to forgive him in the end?”
Evelyn looked up at Charlotte and smiled faintly.
After a while, she said,
“Because nothing is more important than being alive!”
Charlotte looked at Evelyn with a puzzled face.
She complained,
“Don’t speak in riddles. You know I hate thinking!”
“Then why are you still a designer?” Evelyn said with a smile.
“It’s because I became a designer that I started to hate thinking!
You can’t make me think all the time at work, and then think all the time in my daily life!
You don’t know that my brain cells die faster than ordinary people.
It’s easy to get old, isn’t it?” Charlotte answered with a strong sense of grievance.
