Chapter 609: Chapter 609

After Evie Larkin left, Kay Forrest said, "Look at her expression.

It’s like I’ve wronged her by getting married."

Nolan Moore said with a cold face, "I know you’re happy about becoming a father.

But you didn’t have to treat Evie like that.

Her heart aches because she likes you."

After he finished speaking, he said to Grayson Forrest, "Uncle, I’m going out to see Evie."

Grayson nodded, "Go ahead."

With Nolan gone, Kay was annoyed. He sat down on the sofa and looked at Grayson, "Dad, don’t tell me you think I did something wrong too?"

Grayson smiled, "Come on, stop sulking.

There’s no right or wrong here.

Evie wears her little thoughts all over her face.

She has her own ideas, and you’ve done what you thought you had to do.

Since you two can no longer be husband and wife,

keeping a distance from each other is a good thing.

I’ll talk to Evie about this."

You discuss with Jane when you want to get married.

Invite her parents over; we’ll sit down together and become one family.

Set a date and let’s get this dealt with."

Kay Forrest raised his eyebrows and nodded, "Okay then, I’ll go upstairs and join Jane."

"Wait, ask Jane what she would like to eat so the kitchen can prepare it.

Our Forrest family’s daughter-in-law, whether she gives birth to a son or a daughter, is our family’s great contributor.

We must treat her well."

"Don’t worry, you don’t need to tell me this, I’ll take good care of it."

Kay Forrest stood up to go upstairs when Jane Quinlan came down from above.

Seeing this, he quickly ran over to help her: "Why did you come down?"

Seeing his reaction, Jane shyly blushed.

She whispered to him, "Hey, can you tone it down a bit?"

"How is this overdoing it? My wife is pregnant, can’t I be a little anxious?

That’s not enough, I should hire someone to carry you up and down the stairs."

Watching his son looking all rough and tough with a soft heart, Grayson Forrest couldn’t help but laugh.

He knew that giving someone your wholehearted love was a good thing.

Grayson had always been worried that perhaps because he hadn’t shown enough care to Kay during his younger years, Kay didn’t know how to love others.

Now it seemed his concerns were unnecessary.

He just cared very much for the people he was interested in,

and was very casual with those he wasn’t, that’s all.

Jane shooed Kay’s hand away and walked up to Grayson, a hint of respect on her face.

"Uncle, are we being too much?

Please don’t laugh at us secretly."

"It’s normal for people who are going to be parents for the first time to behave this way,"

Grayson patted her arm, "Have a seat.

If you’re feeling tired, you can go upstairs and rest."

"No, I’m not tired, I’ve been very idle these days.

By the way, where are Director Moore and Miss Larkin?"

"Those two went out to take a walk, don’t worry about them," Kay said as he walked over and wrapped his hand around her waist, "Dad asked me to ask you what you’d like to eat so that Auntie can make it for you."

"No need, I’ve had a very poor appetite these days.

I vomit whatever I eat.

It was because I kept throwing up that I suspected I might be pregnant and went to get checked."

Grayson nodded, "You are having morning sickness.

When Kay’s mother was pregnant with him, she didn’t throw up at all and had a very good appetite.

She was always telling me she wanted to eat this or that.

Everyone reacts differently; your condition is quite normal."

Kay asked her, "Didn’t the doctor say what to do if you can’t eat?

Ah, right, I am going to call Faye Townsend to brag and also ask what to do about morning sickness."

Jane slapped his thigh, "Can you stop exaggerating?"

"What’s this exaggeration? It’s just notifying a friend to prepare a big gift for our treasure."

Saying this, he took his phone and walked toward the window.

Grayson shook his head; this kid was getting overexcited.

"Jane, would you like to play a game of chess with me?"

"Sure, Uncle. Just don’t mind my poor skills."

"Everyone starts from being poor and gets better."

Jane Quinlan got up to push old man Forrest into the study, but old man Forrest said, "Don’t bother, let Mother Liu do it."

Jane couldn’t help but laugh. It turned out she wasn’t the only one who could get overly anxious.

Old man Forrest could too.

It seemed that the excitement of becoming a father was just like that of becoming a grandfather.

She went into old man Forrest’s study to play chess with him and Mother Liu.

Kay Forrest was on the phone in the living room.

When the call connected, Faye Townsend was vacationing in the Maldives with Hunter Warren and their three kids.

After exchanging New Year’s greetings with each other, Kay bragged, "I have some good news to share with you. I’m going to be a dad, my Jane is pregnant."

"Wow, that really is great news, congratulations, Forrest. You’ve finally become a dad at your ripe old age."

"There you go, couldn’t you just congratulate me without also giving me a dig? Hunter wasn’t any younger when he became a dad, was he? Hey, I remember you had some morning sickness back then too, how did you handle it?"

"When I was pregnant I craved sour things, so I kept a pack of sour plums in my bag and ate one whenever I felt nauseous. As for food, there was really no solution; I just ate whatever I felt like. Because once the nausea hit, no matter how much I ate, it all came back up."

Kay frowned, "Does this last a long time?"

"It varies from person to person. I only had it for a few weeks, but some people will continue to vomit until they give birth. By the way, is Evie Larkin still at your place?"

"Ugh, she’s driving me nuts." Kay hugged himself, "Can’t you just call my dad and ask him not to bother with that woman anymore?"

"It’s not that simple. Evie Larkin is kind of obsessed right now. Even if Uncle Forrest intervenes, it might not make a difference. Besides, Uncle Forrest has always been indebted to the Larkin Family; there’s no way he’s going to send her away. There’s a thing called being a sneaky person behind the scenes. I’m warning you, you still need to be careful with how you deal with Evie Larkin’s situation. I’m a woman and I understand women. You told me before that every time you see her, you’re cold and harsh to her, but that might not be the best approach. It could provoke her and have the opposite effect."

"So you’re saying I’ve got no way of dealing with this woman?"

Faye laughed, "Why wouldn’t there be a way? You’re so smart. Just think carefully about how to handle it."

"That’s as good as saying nothing, just like you said nothing at all. Alright, alright, let’s hang up. Look for me when you get back."

After hanging up, Kay hugged himself and stroked his chin as he looked out the window.

Faye was right, constantly targeting Evie Larkin didn’t seem to do any good.

His dad felt guilty towards Evie, so he definitely wouldn’t send her away.

As long as his dad didn’t agree, Evie Larkin would have a reason to stick around.

No matter how cold or harsh he was, it was useless against someone like that.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to come for the New Year.

It looked like he needed to change his strategy.

At the doorway, Nolan Moore had searched for a long time before he finally found Evie Larkin sitting by the road.

He walked over and stood beside her, "Aren’t you cold sitting here?"

Evie didn’t move, "Why did you come out?"

Nolan looked down at her, "Jane’s pregnancy is supposed to be a happy event, and I know it’s hard on you, but try to let it go."

"What if I just can’t let it go?"

Nolan squatted beside her, his hand gently resting on her shoulder.

"Evie, you can’t go on ; you’ll destroy yourself."

"Destroyed? My life has been ruined since my mother died."

She clenched her fists tightly, gritting her teeth, "My parents died because of the Forrest Family. My home was destroyed by the Forrest Family. Even my heart was shredded to pieces by Kay Forrest. I’m in so much pain; why does he get to brazenly hurt me and flaunt his happiness in front of me? What right does he have?"

She buried her face in her knees and began to sob.

"Nolan, I just can’t accept this."

Nolan frowned, and after a moment of silence, he placed his hands on her shoulders, "Evie, come with me, let’s go abroad. Once we’re overseas, you can do anything you want and start a new life. You’re still young, don’t give up on yourself so easily."

Evie turned to look at him, her eyes brimming with tears, "I haven’t done anything wrong; why should I leave? No, I’m not going anywhere. The happiness that was stolen from me, I’m going to take it all back, piece by piece."
