Chapter 578

The words “very close” stabbed into Evan’s chest like poisoned thorns.

The veins at his temples throbbed uncontrollably.

His breathing grew ragged. “How close p>

Close.

Patrick had actually used the word close.

“There are multiple hotel records,” Patrick said carefully.

His voice dropped when he said ‘hotel records’, as if he wanted to make it very clear that he knew nothing beyond what was written in the file.

For the Wright family, this was deeply disgraceful.

The words ‘very close’ had already stabbed into Evan’s chest like a poisoned thorn. 1

Now, hearing Patrick mention hotel rooms, Evan felt his mind buzz.

For a moment, his entire world seemed to go blank.

His skin, his blood, and every nerve in his body went numb.

Hotel rooms.

So Summer and Frank had already been involved to that extent.

Summer Bailey.

So she had been unfaithful even when she was with Steven.

Then what did all those feelings she had shown toward him after Steven died even mean?

She had already been involved with Frank before she married into the Wright family.

“After she married into the Wright family, did she still keep in touch with Frank p>

At that moment, Evan did not have the courage to open the file.

Although Summer had betrayed Steven, it hurt worse than if she had betrayed Evan himself.

After all, Summer was the biggest trigger for everything that had happened between him and Stella.

And now, what did all of this amount to?

He had fought with his own wife over a woman like Summer.

Patrick said, “Yes. They never cut contact p>

Evan said nothing.

“Every time Mr. Steven Wright went on a business trip, they would meet privately. And every time, it was in a hotel room p>

A hotel room.

Every time they met, it was in a hotel room.

What could two adults possibly be doing in a hotel room?

No one would believe they were just drinking water and chatting.

Evan’s world went completely blank.

Something in his mind collapsed.

His trust in Summer.

His sense of responsibility toward her.

And even the protection he had given her for Steven’s sake.

At that moment, Evan could hardly bear to think about what he had been protecting for the past six months, almost an entire year.

Because of Steven’s death, he had taken care of Summer more than he had taken care of anyone else.

Even when Stella argued with him again and again, he had ignored it.

He had kept telling himself that Summer was what Steven had left behind in this world.

So was the child in her womb.

That was why he had to look after her.

Whether it was Summer or the child, he had believed he was responsible for them.

But now?

“Ha p>

Evan let out a cold laugh.

For a moment, he could barely hear his own voice.

But to Patrick, that laugh was full of self-mockery.

It sounded as if Evan was mocking himself for being a fool for the past six months.

And he truly had been a fool.

| Again and again, whenever Summer called, even if he was right beside Stella, he would leave almost immediately.

He had taken care of Summer.

He had protected the child in her belly.

For them, he had practically abandoned his own home.

But now, could anyone tell him why things had turned out this way?

She had that kind of relationship with Frank, Steven’s sworn enemy.

So the child probably was not Steven’s either.

Thinking of Summer’s reaction when Stella brought up a paternity test, Evan closed his eyes.

At that moment, his mind was in chaos.

Even the air around him seemed cold.

He had no idea how everything had turned into this.

He still could not believe it.

Or maybe he simply did not want to believe it.

He did not want to believe that he had spent the past six months acting like a complete fool, losing everything because of a woman like that.

But Summer’s reaction to the paternity test was suspicious.

She had said she did not want the child to live the rest of his life under a shadow.

Was that really the reason?
