Eleven Years All to the Wrong Man novel Chapter 250

She didn’t seem to realize how subservient and eager to please her actions were, making the atmosphere uncomfortable.

Evan noticed and told her to stop focusing on him and eat something herself.

To Melissa, his words once again sent her heart fluttering. She thought he was being so considerate and caring.

Unfortunately, her happiness was short-lived. Halfway through the meal, a phone call summoned Evan away.

She watched as he hung up, immediately stood, and grabbed his coat to head out. Melissa followed behind him, feeling lost and a little panicked. “Mr. Cooper, are you going out so late?”

It was only seven in the evening. For the city, the night was just beginning.

Before Melissa could react, he closed the door behind him.
