Chapter 962 I Lied to You

The next day, Jenny was busy with work at the hospital as usual when she

unexpectedly received a call from Evan. It was the first time he’d called her since the

incident.

“Jenny, would you like to have lunch with me this afternoon? ” Evan’s tone was

neutral, so Jenny couldn’t gauge his emotions behind the question.

She checked the time and realized she had two more hours to go before she ended

her afternoon shift. Jenny thought she should be able to finish consulting her patients

by that time, so she accepted Evan’s lunch invitation.

“Sure,” she replied.

After hanging up, Jenny continued to busy herself with work and didn’t think much

about why Evan wanted to see her.

Two hours later, Jenny met up with Evan at the hospital gate.

“Sorry for being late,” Jenny apologized. She’d been held up by a patient as she was

about to leave. After she was done explaining some things to the patient, she ran a

little late for her meetup with Evan.

Evan didn’t mind. He opened the car door of the passenger seat for Jenny and said,

“Get in. I’ll take you somewhere for lunch.”

Jenny got in the car without refusing or asking where they were going. Soon, the car

started and sped off.

During the ride, neither of them spoke. Evan didn’t know what to say while Jenny

waited for him to speak. She thought that since Evan had called her, he must have

figured out how to explain things to her.

Fortunately, they arrived at the restaurant shortly after. Evan led Jenny to a private

room. Silence permeated the air as they took their seats.

“What would you like to eat?” The way Evan carried himself seemed no different than

usual. If it hadn’t been for the fact they hadn’t been in touch for a couple of days,

Jenny would’ve thought nothing was wrong.

She returned to her senses and replied casually, “It’s up to you. I’m fine with

anything.” novelbin

Evan didn’t insist and ordered a few dishes. Unsurprisingly, they were all Jenny’s

favorites.

After the waiter left the room, it was just the two of them. Jenny looked at Evan,

waiting for him to speak.

Soon, Evan looked up, and their eyes met. He seemed to know what Jenny was

expecting and sighed helplessly.” Jenny, you’re putting a lot of pressure on me by

looking at me like this.”

“Am I? I’m just waiting for you to say something.” Jenny felt that if he didn’t plan to

explain things to her today, they would no longer need to keep in touch with each

other.

Although she believed that Evan wouldn’t hurt her intentionally, she wouldn’t continue

to keep in touch with him. After all, he wasn’t the same Evan she thought she knew –

too many mysteries surrounded him. These unknown aspects about him might also

bring unforeseeable dangers.

Evan sighed, knowing that he wouldn’t be able to continue keeping Jenny in the dark.

Fortunately, he’d already prepared before he came, so he wasn’t entirely at a loss. “I

lied to you.”

Jenny furrowed her brows but didn’t say anything; she just listened silently.

“I wasn’t doing honest work abroad. Instead, I hung out with some people and

established a certain reputation for myself after a few years. That was how I managed

to get some men to work under me,” Evan explained.

He thought it wasn’t technically wrong for him to word it that way. He did hang out with

someone abroad; it was just that this “someone” happened to be a mercenary leader.

Jenny’s tightly furrowed brow didn’t relax, and her eyes seemed to have a hint of

confusion. “How did it turn out that way? With your abilities, you should have landed

an excellent job after graduating.”

“Well, I can only say that it’s not as easy to get by abroad as I thought it would be.” He

didn’t want to tell Jenny what had happened specifically. In the beginning, he hadn’t

expected to end up where he was now.

However, if one were to ask whether he regretted it, Evan’s answer would probably be

“no.” If he hadn’t decided to take this path in the first place, he would still be an

ordinary employee when he returned to the country. With that kind of status, how

would he be able to compete with Alec?
