Daddy, You Got The Wrong Mommy-Chapter 152: Just Friends

Chapter 152: Chapter 152: Just Friends
The next day.
Hawke Group.
"Look quickly, that’s the famous dancer Evelyn Miles!"
"Wow, her presence is incredible! She’s like a fairy descended from heaven!"
"I’ve heard before that our President Hawke and Evelyn Miles were a golden couple. But back then, Evelyn was focused on her career, and that’s why they broke up."
"I’ve heard that too. At the time, Evelyn ditched our President, and he was down for quite a while."
"Now that Evelyn is back in the country, do you think they might rekindle their old flame?"
"Such a well-matched pair, I’m rooting for them."
"..."
Countless discussions erupted.
Sitting at her workstation, Elara Don quietly listened, her fingers tightening.
So, this is Evelyn Miles.
The spoiled young lady she had the fortune to meet at the revolving restaurant that day.
With her attitude toward children, if she were to marry into the Hawke Family in the future, how would she treat Charlie?
Impossible!
At this moment, Elara Don was even more determined to take her son away.
President’s office.
Vinny Hawke entered with Evelyn Miles.
"Tom, look who’s here."
Vinny pushed Evelyn Miles slightly forward with a smile.
Damon Hawke looked up from the documents. Upon seeing the two of them, his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
"Sis, Evelyn, what brought you here?"
"Evelyn came to bring you some soup."
Vinny placed the thermos Evelyn was holding on the table, laughingly saying, "Yesterday, I met with Evelyn. When she heard your stomach wasn’t doing well, she thoughtfully made you some nourishing soup, especially bringing it to you today. Isn’t Evelyn particularly considerate?"
Hearing this, Damon Hawke’s brows knitted even tighter.
Evelyn Miles making soup for him.
This behavior, how could it not feel like a transparent attempt at currying favor.
Evelyn Miles was also feeling uneasy all over.
The soup was, of course, not cooked by her own hands.
It was made by her family’s housekeeper.
The reason she asked the housekeeper to make soup was simply because Vinny mentioned it.
Not making the soup herself would seem unjustifiable!
Although she felt Vinny’s action was a bit strange, she had no choice but to act domestic.
After all, to keep Vinny on her side, she had to follow Vinny’s instructions.
"Tom, I remember your stomach wasn’t great before, you must eat regularly and not overwork yourself."
Evelyn Miles had a gentle expression.
Before Damon Hawke could speak, Vinny said, "Look, how obedient and considerate Evelyn is. Tom, you and Evelyn have a nice chat, I’ll leave first."
After finishing, she exchanged a look with Evelyn and withdrew.
No longer being a third wheel, letting the two of them chat properly.
Seeing Damon Hawke’s not-so-pleasant expression in the office, Evelyn’s almond eyes flickered slightly.
"Tom, are you unhappy that I’m here?"
She knew this man, his jaw would tense when he was unhappy.
Damon Hawke didn’t speak, but instead looked at the document.
It was like an acknowledgment.
Evelyn adjusted her hair and said with a smile, "Tom, don’t be upset. Big Sister Vinny is worried about your lack of a settled marriage and sees me as a lifeline. I just didn’t want to reject her goodwill, and didn’t mean anything else."
She couldn’t let Damon Hawke dislike her.
Better to first let him lower his guard.
Sure enough, Damon Hawke looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"Evelyn, you..."
"Relax, I know you’ve fallen for someone else, we’re just good friends now."
Evelyn stood elegantly, smiling innocently.
Her appearance was naturally pure, this candid demeanor made Damon relax a lot.
"My sister really meddles too much, I hope you don’t mind, Evelyn."
Right now, his heart was only with Elara Don; as for Evelyn Miles, the past was in the past.
"I understand, after all, you’re not young anymore."
Seeing Damon’s expression soften, Evelyn concealed the depth in her eyes, maintaining an innocent smile.
She’s not in a rush; there’s plenty of time.
Outside.
Vinny thought for a moment and went to the R&D department.
She had warned Elara Don; she needed to know if Elara was planning to leave here.
In the R&D department, Elara just came out of the lab, ready to have lunch.
Seeing Vinny coming, she paused in taking off her white coat, ignoring her.
Vinny approached her, coldly saying, "Elara Don, you haven’t resigned yet?"
Hearing this, Elara placed the removed white coat neatly, calmly saying, "Why should I resign?"
"You..."
Vinny choked, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "Elara Don, do you still hope to seduce Tom? Haven’t you seen that his first love is back? If you don’t leave Sea City, I will make you suffer. Aren’t you worried about your safety, or even more so your son’s safety?"
She had never received information that Elara went to cash the check.
What is this woman thinking?
Elara’s expression turned cold.
She looked at Vinny, "Miss Hawke, I can swear to the heavens, I have no intentions towards Damon Hawke. Since his first love has returned, I wish them a happy union. But if you dare to harm my son, I will fight you to the end! You will regret it, I promise!"
The woman’s face was taut, her almond eyes filled with determination and sharpness.
For a moment, Vinny seemed to see Damon Hawke’s angry demeanor in her.
Equally daunting.
Perhaps, it was because she mentioned her son.
In Elara Don, Vinny seemed to see the unyielding defiance Elara had for her son.
This defiance was a match for her own.
Vinny looked at her steadily, rendered speechless momentarily.
At this moment, a man’s voice came from behind.
"Auntie."
Cole Hawke had come.
Vinny snapped back to reality, cast a glance at Elara, her expression unsightly.
Elara gathered herself, glanced at the approaching Cole, thought of something, and left with a cold face.
Cole Hawke deceived her!
When she showed him Bea’s picture and asked if Bea resembled Charlie, he actually said she didn’t.
Even showed her a photo that wasn’t of Charlie.
This Cole Hawke, she had considered him a friend, sharing everything with him.
But it turned out, he never saw her as a friend.
He must have known early on that Bea and Dominic Hawke were twin brothers.
Mismatched feelings.
Cole watched Elara walk away without a word, his smile stiffening.
He probably understood Elara’s mind.
She was mad!
He’d better go apologize to her soon.
But before apologizing, he had to deal with Vinny.
"Auntie, why the long face?"
Cole feigned concern.
"Ah, it’s still about Tom’s marriage."
Vinny sighed, rubbing her temples in exasperation.
That stubborn man, why couldn’t he just follow her arrangements and proceed on the path?
"Auntie, you know Uncle’s personality. The more you push, the more he resists. It’d be better to do nothing and watch things unfold."
Cole supported her as they walked forward, slowly guiding her.
Vinny glanced at him, quietly waiting for his next words.
