Rewriting My Heart's Fate (Ethan and Evelyn)

Chapter 31



I felt as if I had just heard the joke of the century-Jack made me so angry that I almost laughed.

He lounged on the couch, clouds of smoke swirling around him. Initially, he seemed to be deep in thought. Then, he made up his mind.

He took a long drag of his cigarette and blew out a thick ting of smoke. His eyes bore into me, cold and calculating

"Remember, my blood runs through your veins, and you carry the Wiley name. It's about time you pulled your weight around here.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Surely you're not expecting me to hold your hand and guide you through this!"

Teouldn't call my father's place home because he had his own daughter and wife. I couldn't call my mother's place home either because there was no room for me in her blissful life. leouldn't bring them happiness, so I couldn't be the burden that hindered their pursuit of it.
