Chapter 118
As Caleb gazed intensely at Ava with a grim expression, he said. “Avy, I know I’m in the wrong. I am very sorry” By this time. Ava’s face was already streaked with tears. When she saw Caleb look her way, she bowed her head stubbornly and shoved food into her mouth. Ava sat despondently, nibbling intermittently, seemingly oblivious to Caleb’s words. Caleb did not rush her but simply sat there, waiting for Ava to come to terms with the situation on her own
Ava, always gentle and sensible, not one to constantly bother others, left Caleb believing he could manage their relationship effectively,
It wasn’t until they finished their meal that Ava mustered a smile and with a touch of bitterness said to Caleb, “I can’t stop loving you.”
.
Meeting Caleb’s gaze, Ava noticed his lack of reaction, a sense of dark unease creeping into her heart as a faint smile spread across her face. “But I’ll try to do it. I should go.” she said before turning around and leaving with a gentle smile. It wasn’t until she sat in the car outside the Mercer Group building that she finally loosened her grip on her palm, drops of blood staining her dress,
Staring at the front with hatred. Ava thought, ‘During the time I was shooting the endorsement, Caleb and Evelyn must have been quite close, or why else would Caleb suddenly be so blunt in clarifying things between us?

Colin pushed the door open carefully again. Seeing that Caleb was lying on the sofa and closing his eyes for rest, he breathed a sigh of relief. “Mr. Mercer, the case in the West District is almost closed. Mr. Johnson said that although those criminals fled abroad and it is not easy to hunt them down, it will not affect the domestic situation. He will continue to track

“I see. If you want to get off work, you can get off by yourself, Caleb said vaguely without even raising his eyes. He was seriously thinking. How could I get Evelyn back? I can’t sacrifice my pride by pestering her. Other methods won’t work either. In the end, I can only wait for the initiative to incite me.
Lying flat on the sofa with a cold expression, Caleb stared at his phone, hesitating to call Evelyn. Uncertain of what to say, he hesitated, because she had rejected him decisively. Suddenly, his eyes widened as he recalled, I can start from the Brin family. With a hopeful glint in his eyes, he contemplated paying them a visit, despite their lack of support when they got married
