Chapter 1283
Eviette Robins believed that Matthew Kings had left and returned, but she didn’t expect to see Melvin Winson standing at the door when she opened it.
“Are you okay?” Melvin Winson’s face was filled with concern, afraid that something unexpected had happened to Eviette Robins.
“I’m fine,” she shook her head, but her eyes unconsciously glanced at the corridor, filled with anticipation and longing. Loving someone requires persistence.
Eviette Robins deeply loved Matthew Kings. She had thought that after Matthew Kings divorced Veronica Murphy, she would have endless possibilities with him. However, it turned out to be a deception.
She turned and entered the living room, with Melvin Winson following closely behind. He asked with concern, “What did you two talk about just now?”
Eviette Robins collapsed on the sofa, hugging a pillow, and sighed, “He said that he didn’t divorce Veronica Murphy and that they are doing well. And, he…”
“What did he say?”
“He said that Veronica Murphy is his only wife in this lifetime.”
With just one sentence, Eviette Robins was devastated. No one could understand the heartbreak she felt upon hearing those words from Matthew Kings.
“So, Miguel’s announcement of their divorce was just a smokescreen?” After careful consideration, Melvin Winson seemed to grasp something. “Miguel probably did it because of my father’s visit. He knows my father’s position in Kyoland and must be worried that my father would use some crude means to threaten him. Therefore, he publicly claimed to have divorced Veronica Murphy, but in reality, it was to protect Veronica Murphy.”
His analysis hit the mark.
“Yes, you’re right,” Eviette Robins didn’t want Melvin Winson to be right, but the facts proved otherwise. Seeing her devastated and despondent, Melvin Winson felt a pang of heartache.
Someone who loved and cared for her was waiting right behind her, but she never turned around to take a look.
“Evie, is it difficult to love someone?” He asked, almost involuntarily. Eviette Robins lay on the pillow, her gaze unfocused. “Yes, it’s difficult. It’s much harder than taking herbal medicine.”
“Yeah,” Melvin Winson let out a long sigh. “It’s much harder than taking herbal medicine.”
He understood it deeply, how could he not know? Sitting sideways, he rested his chin on his hand, leaning on the back of the sofa. “What are your plans now?”
She remained silent.
“Loving someone who doesn’t love you back is destined to have no ending. Stars, people, they must know how to be practical. Love, too, follows the same principle,” he persuaded her, hoping she would give up on her futile relationship with Matthew Kings.
Eviette Robins shook her head. “I have loved him for ten years, how can I let go now?” “But he loves Veronica Murphy. Can’t you see that clearly?”
Suddenly, overcome with emotion, Melvin Winson reproached her. Eviette Robins gathered her thoughts and looked at him with her beautiful eyes. “So what? I saved his life, we have been through thick and thin together. Not only that, I can give him everything he wants. But what can Veronica Murphy give him? She can’t give him anything!”
“Indeed, Veronica Murphy may not be able to provide material possessions and power. But she can give him love, and that should be enough.”
For Matthew Kings, although he wasn’t the richest man in the world, his wealth surpassed that of most people, and he didn’t have a great need for money.
On the other hand, in terms of emotions, perhaps she could provide him with the greatest satisfaction. Unfortunately, this kind of love was something Eviette Robins couldn’t give him.
At this moment, every word Melvin Winson said to Eviette Robins seemed to come from his own personal experience.
Looking at himself, he couldn’t help but feel pity, just like Eviette Robins, for being so persistent.
