Chapter 1209:

“Okay, drive safely,” Madisyn reminded her with a kind smile.

As Evie left the Edge Entertainment building, she found herself alone in the driver’s seat.

She hadn’t asked Waylon to drive her today since it was a last-minute trip. Recently, Waylon had truly kept his promise, looking after her as he said he would. He often took her out and surprised her with thoughtful gestures.

At times, Evie nearly forgot that she’d agreed to Waylon’s plan because she had no other choice, considering letting him leave after just a few days. When she heard Madisyn’s mention of his phone call today, she realized that Waylon had been with her for over half a month now.

Half a month was plenty of time for two people to go from strangers to close friends, even more so for two people who already knew each other well, like Evie and Waylon.

Since their parting was inevitable, Waylon’s efforts to make amends were more than enough. It was time to let things return to where they were meant to be.

As Evie was lost in her thoughts, Waylon’s message popped up on her phone.

“Let’s eat here today, okay? Do you need me to pick you up?”

There was a location pin after the message. Evie clicked on it, revealing the exact restaurant she’d been wanting to try but never had the chance.

Her fingers instinctively curled. Waylon was too good to her, so that for a moment, she almost wanted to abandon her origins and wait for him to make the next move.

“No. I’ll drive myself there.”

In front of the restaurant, which had a charming garden ambiance, Evie stepped out of her car. As she did, she saw Waylon already waving at her, his figure moving toward her with a smile.

He stood tall, his long legs making him look like he had stepped right off a runway. Even in simple clothes, he exuded effortless style. His face, with its irresistible charm, lit up with a smile, as if seeing Evie brought him genuine joy.

“You’re here. I booked a table in advance. Let’s go in.” But Evie couldn’t bring herself to move.

“Evie?” Waylon asked, his eyes full of concern.

“What’s wrong?”

She hesitated.

“Waylon, you’ve been compensating me for over half a month… I think it’s enough.”

Waylon’s smile faltered, a shadow crossing his face.

“Why are you suddenly saying this?”

“I think it’s best to say it now.”

A knot tightened in Waylon’s chest. He’d only just begun to feel like his relationship with Evie was getting better, and now, she wanted to pull away.

He asked, “Did I do something wrong that made you unhappy? Tell me, and I’ll change!”

“You didn’t do anything wrong.”

Evie glanced toward the restaurant they hadn’t entered yet.

“You’ve done very well. That’s why I’m saying it’s enough. Waylon, you don’t need to do anything else to make up for it.”
