lted under the sadness of her visage, Rex had no choice but to take a huge gamble.
He was thinking very clearly, and there was no other way around this.
Giving Evelyn the simple truth would not suffice—she would not be satisfied with the answer if he only included the fact that he was influenced—by the full moon that night. Rex was able to easily handle the other full moons so Evelyn would doubt that was the only reason.
If he wanted to clear the situation between them, he needed to give her more of the truth.
Rex didn't ntion the System specifically, he referred to it as an unknown power instead.
Evelyn wouldn't be aware of the System exactly, so it can't punish .
Gazing into Evelyn's eyes, he was hoping that this would be enough of an explanation.
However—her reaction was not as he expected, she was teetering on the brink of exploding with sadness, "Is that it...?" She asked, her voice breaking as a couple of tears passed down her cheeks. "No, it can't be, right? Go ahead—this must've been a part of your secret plan in order to use Calidora for sothing, right...?"
Rex was at a loss for words, there was no secret plan involving Calidora.
His guard was down, and then this happened.
Maybe due to the constant life-and-death situations, in his entire life—this matter, bypassed his acute senses because it was not a life-and-death situation. Calidora couldn't kill him and that alone lowered his guard.
Seeing Evelyn's tears, however, made Rex want to pull her close into his embrace.
He could see the pain in her voice and eyes as clearly as the moon against the night.
But Evelyn pushed his arms away—stepping back, as more tears stread down, turning the trail of tears into a constant stream. She then weakly gripped Rex's black shirt, "I am ready— now, tell the plan, please... make it be a plan! Tell the child is a lie!"
"I'm sorry but there was no secret plan, I'm sorry it ended up like this," Rex replied.
Despite his attempt to grab hold of Evelyn, she flailed and pushed him away even harder.
Rex hadn't planned for this, he didn't want this to happen, but there was no other way. That night, he needed to et Calidora, and it couldn't wait. But Looking at Evelyn right now—he felt a pang in his heart.
He could see her before him, but she was drifting into an unknown place.
Slipping further from his grasp both physically and emotionally.
Making one last hard push Evelyn looked at Rex through her watery eyes—her countenance was broken and hurt at the realization that the child was not a lie, the realization that he did not have a good explanation for what had happened.
"Am I even important to you?" She eventually asked. "Do you even love ...?"
Confronted with those questions, Rex instantly had an answer in mind.
But before he could speak it, Evelyn grabbed him by the collar, staring directly into his soul.
"Cut her off..." She spoke with great emotion in them, emphasizing each word. "I don't need your answer, I want you to show it to through actions. Cut Calidora off of our lives. Ditch her, for good. If you want a child, I can give you one, Adhara can give you one, even Gistella can give you one, but Calidora is not the one!"
Seeing Rex was about to answer, Evelyn cut him off, "Don't even try to defend her,"
"You don't even know if it's actually your child, she might trick you again!" She added.
Upon hearing this, Rex's expression tightened, "It's mine..."
"And I can't," He added regretfully, "and you know why I can't, Evelyn"
He could abandon Calidora, but not the child.
From the way Evelyn phrased it, he was sure she was asking him to abandon them both.
"Hypocrite!" Evelyn shoved Rex back, hard—but his hard-rock body, only got pushed back a little, from the shove. "You abandoned Rosie so do not give that bullshit! Be a man! What do you think all of this would make feel? Where is the bad man that I fell to? I need him, I need him to appear now!"
Rex stood motionless, there was nothing he could do aside from letting her vent her anger.
Her fists pounded his chest with raw strength, unassisted by her powers.
She also landed a powerful slap across his face—resounding across the room, as more tears flowed down harder. Evelyn struggled to believe, this was really happening, she did not want to believe it to be exact.
All those silent days, she had hoped Rex had a legitimate reason, but there was none.
It was Calidora's triumph through and through.
Evelyn kept hitting him, her fury, and heartbreak pouring out until she finally collapsed to the ground, weak and helpless. Rex knelt beside her and hugged her tightly, holding her through the peak of her sadness no matter how long.
His own heart breaking with every sob that wracked her body.
Ti stood still for them at this mont, and eventually, Evelyn cald down.
Just then, however, a notification appeared, surprising Rex greatly.
