Chapter 842 Everything Has Its Bane
Seeing Helin so shocked, Evelina couldn’t help wondering, “You’ve pestered him for so long, but you don’t even know if he’s married?”
Helin was speechless for a moment, but she soon looked at him with tears in her eyes. “Why didn’t you tell me that you were married?”
Joe was speechless, too.
Joe finally understood that Helin had completely fallen into the lie Martha made up for her. It was not that she couldn’t wake up, but that she didn’t want to. Joe pondered for a moment and said to Helin, “Come back at this time tomorrow.”
This was the first time Joe had given him such a gentle reply since their meeting.
Helin agreed happily at once and then left slowly with the basket.
After Helin left, the gaze of the three people in the room fell on Joe.
Charlotte knew that Joe couldn’t agree to Helin so easily, but she was just curious about what idea he had come up with.
Dr. Garie and Evelina didn’t understand. They looked at him disapprovingly. “You don’t want to agree, do you?”
Joe smiled helplessly, “Of course not.”
As expected, Helin arrived on time the next day.
Helin had specially changed into a custom-made dress and put on exquisite makeup. With a peaceful smile on her face, she walked in.
However, as soon as she entered, Helin was stunned.
This time, there was no Joe or Charlotte in the living room. There was only a completely strange man.
Although this man was good-looking, Helin didn’t take him seriously. Instead, she frowned and asked Evelina, “Where are they?”
Evelina smiled at her and pointed at the man standing in the middle of the living room. “This is the person you’re looking for.”
“Are you joking with me?” Helin had just frowned when she saw the man walking over excitedly.
“Hello, Helin?” The man quickly introduced himself, “I’m Toynbee Pound. A student of the psychology department of Hewlett University…”
Helin frowned when she heard the name of the psychology department.
Helin glanced at the man and quickly looked away. “I don’t know you. Please stay away from me.”
Toynbee didn’t expect Helin to treat him with such indifference. “Helin, don’t you remember me? Didn’t you say that you would be with me for the rest of your life?” Toynbee asked hurriedly.
“Are you crazy? When did I say…” As soon as Helin cursed, her eyes suddenly widened.
Helin was no fool. She finally understood that Joe asked her to see Toynbee.
Helin walked up to Toynbee angrily and slapped him hard in the face. “Liar! How dare you show up in front of me!”
Helin’s parents had confirmed that Toynbee was hired by Martha to chat with her professionally.
How dare Toynbee say that they would be together for the rest of their lives?
Toynbee covered his face with his hand and looked aggrieved. “Helin, I had no choice. If I didn’t do that, she would ruin everything I had! I’m sorry.”
Helin was so angry that she laughed and slapped him on the other side of his face. “Really? If you appear in front of me again, I can destroy everything you have!”
Toynbee glared at Helin. “That’s not what you said before!”
“Get out.”
