***
This lifetime…
Evelyn felt the lingering pain in her body. Fortunately, she had learned her lesson.
She was still immersed in her memories when the man beside her suddenly climbed out of bed,
dragging her into the bathroom and forcefully pinning her against the mirror.
The woman in the mirror was beautiful, but the exhaustion couldn’t be concealed. Evelyn’s eyes were
bruised, days of fasting had left her eyes lifeless, devoid of any vitality. She looked more like a beautiful
yet lifeless corpse.
“Look at yourself!.”
As Henry spoke, he took out gauze and wrapped it around the bleeding wound on Evelyn’s wrist.
The bleeding stopped, and the pain lessened.
Evelyn, watching Henry, who was still wrathful but delicately tending to her wounds, felt a mix of guilt
and resentment. She blamed herself for being too foolish in her past life.
She hurt such a good man who loved her so much,, and tortured herself for that disgusting scoundrel.
Henry finished dressing the wound and looked up to see Evelyn in tears, a pang of discomfort raised in
his heart.

His hand froze in mid-air. ..
“Are you afraid of me?” His gaze turned icy. “If yes, behave yourself. Or wait to watch how I’ll deal with
you….”
Henry didn’t finish his sentence. He sarcastically sighed. What could he do if there was another time?
With just a glance from her, all his principles could become mere decorations.
“I…,” Evelyn tried to explain, but Henry turned and walked away.
Evelyn felt a sudden emptiness in her heart. “Don’t go.”
Her immediate reaction was to keep Henry from leaving, but as she sat on the washstand, her hands
couldn’t reach him. She had to resort to using her feet.
As soon as Henry turned around, he saw two round toes holding onto the edge of his white shirt.
Evelyn was fair, so fair that even the shirt seemed dull in her presence.
Henry’s throat rolled, his eyes growing darker, the repressed desire bubbling up.
