A Night's Mistake: The Besotted CEO's Obsession

Chapter 238

Cynthia didn’t mind Evan’s anger. She closed the door and walked over with a playful smile. “Master Buckley, what are you looking at?”

Seeing that she couldn’t get the items from Evan’s hand Cynthia reached out to take them from the boxs. As soon as she reached out, Evan hit her hand hard, Instantly, the back of her hand turned red

“Master Buckley” Cynthia covered her hands and pouted, playfully expressing her discontent.

“Who allowed you to touch my things?” Evan carefully placed the photos into the box.

Cynthia scratched her head and asked curiously. “What do you have that’s so precious in that box?”

“Do you think the hit just now was not painful enough?” Evan blocked Cynthia’s sight with his body.

Cynthia really couldn’t see what was inside, so she gave up. She sat in the chair next to her and said casually, “I came here to ask why Master Carlen wouldn’t go back. After your weird behavior, it seems you are hiding something from me.” Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Evan put the box in the cabinet and locked it. Then, he said, “Don’t ask so many questions. Just live your own life well. Master Garten and I don’t need you to worry about us”

Looking at his actions, Cynthia became more curious about what was inside. She didn’t know that Master Buckley had such a treasured item before.

Cynthia gazed around the room until she found a photo under the desk. Evan must have accidentally dropped the photo when he hid it behind him. Cynthia picked up the photo and locked

carefully at the two people closely next to each other on it.

There was a man and a woman in the photo. The man was Evan, and the woman looked somewhat similar to Delilah. However, it could be seen that Evan was relatively young at the time of the photo, so they probably haven’t met yel

When Cynthia first acknowledged Evan as her master, they were at Clusian. He only had Hallet by his side. Delilah wasn’t with him. The three of them roamed the world and never seuled down in one place until they encountered Delilah at the border. At the time, Cynthia wondered why they chose to senile in such a dangerous place like the border. Later, Evan asked them to learn from Delilah instead.

Over the years, she could see that Delilah had a bad personality. Every time she got in trouble, Evan would clean up her mess without complaint. “Master Buckley, did you know Master Garten before!” Cynthia asked in confusion.

After locking the cabinet, Evan checked it carefully. Hearing Cynthia’s words, he turned around in confusion and saw a photo in Cynthia’s hand. His face immediately blushed. Quickly, he walked over, took the photo, kept it in his pocket, and asked embarrassedly. “Where did you get this?”

Cynthia pointed to the ground and said, “You dropped it She looked at Evan’s unnatural expression, squinted her eyes, and smiled mischievously. “Master Buckley, you’re being weird. You’re definitely hiding something

Evan asked. “What do I have to hide?

“The person in this photo is Master Garten, right?” Cynthia voiced her judgment. Ahhough Delilah was not a first–class beauty, she had a unique temperament that had remained unchanged even now that she was older.

Evan felt uncomfortable now and didn’t speak as confidently as before. “You’re blindly guessing”

“I’m not blindly guessing If you don’t admit it. I will ask Master Carien and tell her you have many photos in your room. Cynthia was about to get

1. up.

Evan sighed helplessly when he saw Cynthia’s mischievous expression. “Don’t bother Master Garten. 1l tell you” Cynthia immediately stopped. Evan came over and knocked her on the forehead. I’ve spoiled you too much. If it were Hallet, he wouldn’t even dare.”

Cynthia smiled obediently and then thoughtfully poured Evan a cup of coffee. “Master Buckley, please”

Evan took the coffee and glared at her indulgently. “Master Garten and I grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Both of our families have been practicing medicine for generations, but their family has more secret skills than mine, that was, to use insects. Originally, we both agreed on the wedding date. However, an accident happened when she tried to save a person who was on the brink of death. She decided to take desperate measures and used parasites, but eventually, the patient died. Although the family members had agreed to the procedures beforehand, they turned against her after the patient’s death. This matter eventually escalated, and the use of parasites wasn’t accepted by the public. The Garten Family also paid the price for it, and her parents passed away due to the stress from public opinion. Since then, she has abandoned goodness and turned to evil. She used parasites to afflict those people with lifelong diseases. She became wanted and barely managed to escape here. I took you guys wandering around just to find her. Evan finished his words in one breath, tears welling up in his gray eyes. They could have had a happy life together, but fate had another plan.

Cynthia didn’t expect ti

for bringing this up. Master Buckley

this. She blamed herself for bringing up Evan’s sad memories. “I’m sorry Evan smiled faintly and said, “It’s nothing to me. I just don’t want you to ask your Master Garten about it. These matters are more upsetting to her.” Cynthia nodded. “I know” Then, she thought of something and said, “Since you used to be so close and reunited so many years ago, why didn’t you

get married? Why did you want to get along with each other this way?”

Upon hearing this, Evan fel said. Tve thought about it, but Master Garten doesn’t want to hold me back. She always feels that she can only spend the rest of her life abroad and doesn’t want me to be unable to return home like her. Evan suddenly smiled and uid. “She’s so stubborn that I have to obey her decision:

to bring Master Garten h

Cynthia burst into tears, appearing more distraught than Evan. “Master Buckley, don’t worry, I will find a way to bring

Evan frowned and wiped Cynthia’s tears with affection. “You’re an adult but still cry like a child. “Don’t worry about us just live your life well”

It was about ten in the evening when Cynthia left Evan’s room. When she returned to her room, she found Liam was still awake. He was standing by the window, talking on the phone about work with Ziv. Cynthis noticed he had been increasingly busy these past few days. He was constantly on the phone making calls, but she never pressured him.

Cynthia walked overaly and hugged Liam from behind, She buried her face in Liam’s broad back and kept silent. Liam noticed Cynthia’s distress. He said a few words in Ziv on the phone, hung up,

turned around, and held her face in his hands. “Why do you look so listless coming back from Master Buckley’s room!”
