Rewriting My Heart's Fate (Ethan and Evelyn) novel Chapter 406

When I got back to my apartment, I sank onto the couch. Tears were streaming down my face.

My mind replayed all the moments we shared—the times of both joy and heartache.

I remembered the first time I met him, the calm and warmth that emanated from him. I also remembered the encouragement he gave me when we worked side by side.

But I also knew there were too many obstacles between us.

His family, his responsibilities, and the complex history between us made this love difficult and unspeakable.

Perhaps one day, when we've both grown mature and brave enough…

Tears blurred my vision as I hugged the pillow close to my chest.

That night, sleep eluded me.

…

In the morning, sunlight streamed through the curtains and gently touched my face. I rubbed my tired eyes and forced myself to get up.

In the mirror, I saw a weary face, yet one marked by resolve. I had to pull myself together. I couldn't let this love disrupt my life.

After getting ready, I called Kevin.

"Kevin, I'm ready to head back. How's the competition prep going on your end?"

On the other end of the line, Kevin's voice was full of energy. "Don't worry, Eve. Everything is going according to plan. You just focus on sorting things out at home. I've got everything covered here."

I chuckled softly. "Thank you, Kevin. I'm really lucky to have you as my partner."

His voice lightened with a smile. "Likewise. Eve, don't push yourself too much. If you need anything, just let me know."

After hanging up, a weight seemed to lift from my heart.

Kevin nodded. "Well, that's good. Let's get you to your place to rest, and we'll catch up later."

Back at my familiar room, I looked around. Everything seemed the same, except for the person I had become.

Only by continuously growing and becoming stronger could I break free from the shadows of the past and pursue a better tomorrow.

In the evening, I met Kevin at a restaurant near the university. This restaurant held many shared memories between us.

As we ate and talked, he gave me a detailed update on the competition preparations.

"Don't worry, Eve. Our design proposal is nearly finalized. I'm confident we'll stand out in the competition."

I looked at him with gratitude. "Thank you so much, Kevin. I really don't know what I'd do without your support."

Kevin waved his hand and smiled. "Here you go again. We're friends and partners. It's the least I can do. But what about you? You've been through a lot recently, haven't you?"
