The weekend is approaching, and Michelle put on a simple and elegant black dress, wearing a pair of delicate earrings, elegant and exemplary.
She stood in front of the mirror, carefully examining herself, as if looking for the self that once matched Evan very well.
She pushed open the door and got into a taxi to go to the agreed restaurant.
This is a high-end restaurant located in the city center, with spacious surroundings and elegant decor, clearly not a casual dining place.
When Michelle walked into the restaurant, she immediately felt the gaze of those around her.
Some were critical, some envious, and others curious. But in her heart, there was only one person, and that was Evan.
"Evan, where are you?" she silently wondered in her heart.
Just then, she saw him.
Evan is sitting at a table in the corner, wearing a white shirt and dark blue trousers, looking very decent. He seems to have arrived early and is playing with his phone.
Michelle walks up to him, feeling somewhat complicated.
"Hi, Michelle, you look very beautiful today," Evan stood up, smiled at her, seemingly trying to lighten the mood.
"Thank you, you're not too bad yourself," Michelle responded, but she didn't feel happy about his compliment.
After they sat down, they ordered some food and drinks. Evan seemed distracted, glancing at his phone from time to time. Michelle noticed this and felt increasingly puzzled and uneasy.
"What have you been busy with lately?" Michelle tried to break the silence.
"Oh, just some work stuff. There's a big project that needs to be rushed," Evan replied vaguely.
"Is it? And was the photo you posted on social media last time also work-related?" Michelle asked suddenly, hoping to see something from Evan's reaction.
Evan was taken aback by the question, his expression changing slightly.
"Well, actually, it's a friend of a friend. She has a small art gallery, and I helped her take some photos of her paintings, and then we grabbed a bite to eat. There's nothing special going on, I assure you," Evan hurriedly explained, hoping to dispel Michelle's suspicions.
Michelle was silent for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, I believe you. But please don't hide anything else. We should be honest with each other."
Evan let out a sigh of relief. He knew he shouldn't keep anything from Michelle, but he was also afraid to reveal the truth, fearing it would further damage their relationship.
Their dinner continued, but the atmosphere became somewhat awkward. The distance between them seemed to grow, and their conversation became superficial.
After dinner, they went their separate ways. Michelle returned to her own place, while Evan went back to his apartment.
They were both pondering the future of their relationship, but doubts and uneasiness still lingered in their hearts.
On a quiet night, Evan sits by the window, his phone displaying an unread message.
It's a text from Victoria, asking when they will meet again.
He hesitated for a moment, then deleted that message, feeling a sense of inner struggle.
Regardless, he knew he had to face his choices, whether it was about Michelle or Victoria.
The path of love is not easy. He feels pressure and confusion, but he also knows that the final decision can only be made by himself.
Evan feels immense pressure and finds himself trapped in an inescapable dilemma. He tries to escape, attempts to end his relationship with Victoria, but each time he is unable to do so.
Whenever he tries to end the relationship with Victoria, she always finds a way to make it impossible for him to say no. This puts him in a dilemma.
On a quiet night, Evan sat in his living room, staring at the empty wine glass on the coffee table, filled with inner turmoil.
He knew he couldn't continue, but he also didn't know how to get rid of Victoria. His phone was filled with her messages and calls, and her attraction to him was hard to resist.
Just as he was thinking about how to break free, he heard a sound coming from inside the house.
He was taken aback and quickly stood up, walking quietly towards the door. When he opened it, he found Victoria standing there, with a hint of a smile in her eyes.
"Evan, long time no see," Victoria's voice was full of allure.
"How did you get in?" Evan tried to stay calm, but he was already feeling terrified.
Victoria smiled slightly and reached out her hand, showing a bunch of keys.
"I have your key," she said, "Don't you always forget it at my place? So I made a backup key."
Evan's face changed, he remembered leaving the key at Victoria's place, but he never thought she would take advantage of that.
"You can't always be like this," Evan said, "We can't continue like this."
However, Victoria did not back down, she walked step by step towards Evan and pushed him back into the living room.
Her eyes became more mysterious, and her words were filled with threat.
"Evan, you know, I'm carrying your child," she suddenly said, "this child needs a father, and you are that father."
Evan's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at her.
Everything was happening too fast, and he was completely unprepared. However, Victoria seemed to have a plan all along. She pulled out a scan report showing the exact date of her pregnancy.
"We should start planning for the child's future," she said, "You can't abandon us, you are this child's father."
Evan's mind was in turmoil, he knew he couldn't escape this reality. He tried to negotiate, to find a solution, but Victoria seemed to have made up her mind.
"Now, the child needs your care and involvement," she said to him, "You can't abandon me again, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."
Evan felt helpless, knowing that he had already fallen into an uncontrollable situation.
"I need you, Evan," she emphasized repeatedly, "this child needs you. We can build a beautiful family together and provide a stable environment for the child."
Although Evan understands that the arrival of this child is a consequence of his own past actions, he still feels immense pressure.
"Alright," he finally agreed, "we will find a way, for the sake of the child. But we need to think calmly and not make hasty decisions."
Victoria nodded in agreement. She knew this was just the beginning, but she had achieved her goal - at least now she could be sure that the child had a father.
Evan tried to negotiate with Victoria rationally, proposing various solutions, including an agreement to co-parent the child. Victoria agreed, and Evan had to pay her a certain amount of money each month.
Evan felt helpless, knowing that he had fallen into an uncontrollable situation. His life was about to undergo another drastic change, and he had to face this astonishing reality, unable to escape it no matter what.
Evan recalls his childhood family, the feeling of being abandoned, and he doesn't want Victoria's child to have the same experience.
Evan sat in the chair, looking at the unfinished proposal draft on the computer screen.
The role of creative director gave him abundant creative freedom, but also subjected him to countless pressures.
The studio was filled with the glow of residual light shining on various materials and samples, exuding a professional atmosphere. His headache was so intense that he could hardly concentrate. This headache was not caused by work pressure, but because he had not told Michelle about Victoria's situation.
The atmosphere inside the house was so tense that it could almost be cut with a knife. Not far away on the sofa, Victoria sat lazily, holding a remote control and casually flipping through TV channels.
"Why is this show so boring?" Victoria sighed impatiently.
Evan heard her sigh, but he couldn't concentrate enough to deal with her. The pressure in his heart made him feel almost suffocated.
Suddenly, the phone vibrated. It was a call from Michelle.
"Hello, Michelle, what's up?" Evan answered the phone in his usual gentle tone.
"I'm near your house, do you want me to come over?" Michelle's voice sounded a bit tired.
"Eh, no, it's okay. I still have work to do tonight."
"Okay, I'm going back now. Love you."
"Love you, goodnight."
After hanging up the phone, Evan tightly held onto his phone, feeling a wave of self-blame.
The next day, Evan and Victoria sat down to discuss the specific details and regulations for co-parenting their child.
Evan took the opportunity to make it clear to Victoria that while he is willing to take responsibility, it does not mean he will let her have her way.
"From now on, you can't just barge into my apartment without my permission," Evan said sharply.
Victoria pouted in dissatisfaction but eventually agreed.
However, Evan still felt uneasy deep down, especially when he thought about how Michelle would feel about all of this. He began to consider whether he should tell Michelle the truth to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts in the future.
However, he is worried that this will only make the situation more complicated. Whenever he thinks about these things, Evan deeply feels trapped by different options and pressures, as if he is stuck in a quagmire and unable to break free.
In the end, he decides not to tell Michelle about this for now, and to wait until the whole situation becomes clearer before making a decision. However, he is clear that this is only a temporary avoidance, and the real test is still ahead.
