Chapter 4254

Evan wasn’t actually drunk—just slightly tipsy. He could think clearly and walk without any issues. However, he had pretended to be drunk so convincingly that Abby felt compelled to take him home.

“Abby.”

Evan unbuckled his seatbelt and stepped out of the car on his own.

“Who took Spencer home? It wasn’t you, was it? I told everyone not to drink and drive, yet you still drank,” she said.

Abby shook her head. “He usually has a high tolerance, but he got intoxicated after just two glasses tonight.”

Evan chuckled. “That’s because we were drinking strong liquor. It tastes great but catches up with you quickly. I only had a little and passed out in the car, but I feel fine now. Spencer was upset, so I had a few drinks with him to help lift his spirits. Is he completely out?”

“He was in worse shape than you.” Abby glanced at Evan, noticing that he appeared much steadier now. “Alright, you’re fine now. I’m heading home.”

But as soon as she turned to leave, Evan took hold of her hand.

“Come on, Abby. You brought me all the way here, and now you won’t even walk me inside?” His tone softened, almost pleading. “You rarely visit my place. At least come in for a glass of water. My throat is dry, and if I’m alone, no one will know if I pass out from thirst.”

Abby rolled her eyes. “You’re sober enough to get your own water. You did this to yourself. Who told you to drink so much? I don’t have time to babysit you. Unlike you, I actually have work in the morning.”

Evan spent most of his time pursuing her. He waited outside her office every day. When she had social events, he would tag along—not interfering, just ensuring she knew he was there. It felt like being under constant watch.

The man had a remarkable talent for persistence.

“Abby.” Evan looked at her, his expression tinged with regret. “Do you really hate me that much? You won’t

“Why don’t you come inside now that you’re already here?”

Abby sighed inwardly.

She had fallen for this man, and he had fallen for her.

In different ways, they had both exploited each other’s feelings—all because of their love.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t loved her before; he simply hadn’t realized that she was Fox, and he had fallen for the woman behind that name.

Now that he knew the truth—that both Fox and Bianca were her—his love had only grown stronger.

He had always been devoted to her, even before he knew it.

“Fine. I’ll come inside for a bit, but I’m not staying. You really should hire someone; this house feels too empty.”

As soon as she reached out to help him, he immediately went weak, leaning on her as if he couldn’t walk.

Abby couldn’t help but laugh. “You were just walking fine. Now you’re suddenly so weak?”

If someone brought in a bull right now, Evan would probably pretend he couldn’t even swat a fly.

“Evan, you should consider acting. You’d be an award-winning star. Want me to be your agent?”

Evan scoffed. “No way. If I became a celebrity, I’d have tons of female fans wanting to marry me. But I only love you—I don’t care about anyone else.”
