Chapter 716 I Didn’t Think I Would Do That to Him
Evelyn’s eyelids twitched slightly as she lied, “No, he just allowed me to see the child.”
Bert, familiar with men as he was, clearly didn’t believe her. He knew that the man wouldn’t just let her see Lucas and nothing else, especially considering that it was Huston who was involved.
However, she didn’t want to tell him because she didn’t want him to know.
Bert frowned and wanted to say something, but in the end, he held back and gave. her some space, “Come back after you finish visiting Lucas.”
He didn’t ask any more questions, which made Evelyn feel relieved, “Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, the car interior fell back into silence. Evelyn unintentionally looked at herself in the rear-view mirror-her disheveled hair, and the red marks on her neck from earlier. She quickly averted her gaze, not wanting to see herself like that.
Now that she had calmed down, she replayed everything that had happened earlier in her mind, feeling ashamed and unable
to bear it. She had voluntarily engaged in such an act with Huston.
Evelyn! Evelyn, you’ve really lost it!
She closed her eyes and leaned against the seat behind her, letting out a deep breath. All she could see was the scene in the lounge.
The way he pursed his lips in love, the way he called her name passionately, and the way he sweated…
Evelyn bit her lip, wondering how she had lost control, and allowed herself to think of him, while also facing the piercing self-questioning in her heart. She chastised herself deeply. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
Opening her eyes, Evelyn looked at the empty underground parking lot, feeling a sense of confusion. Between a man and a woman, was it really just about this? After what happened today, how should she face this man in the days to come?
When Lucas woke up, Huston was outside the room talking on the phone with his assistant, Benjamin. One of his investments had encountered a problem-a shareholder unexpectedly withdrew, causing a delay in the planned listing. It was a significant setback. If this investment failed, it would result in considerable losses.
Huston understood immediately what had happened when he heard the details. The occurrence of such a low-probability event at this time was undoubtedly intentional, and he could only think of Bert as the likely culprit.
“Stabilize the situation first. Monitor the other party’s actions and report to me immediately. Find a way to acquire the scattered shares from the minor shareholder and negotiate with them,” Huston calmly instructed. Faced with the problem at hand, he remained composed and unruffled. For him, even if the project failed and he incurred some financial losses, it wouldn’t bring about any substantial change.
Over the years, he had accumulated significant wealth, and the money was just a number in his bank account. What truly mattered to him was not losing to the man named Bert.
He had been annoyed by Bert for being with Evelyn for a long time. Since he wanted to play, he would play with him to the end.
“Mom? Mom?”
Just as Iluston was dealing with the phone call, he heard Lucas calling for his mother from inside the room. I is heart tightened, and regardless of the ongoing conversation, he interrupted, “The child woke up. We’ll talk later.”
After that, he hung up the phone without hesitation.
Benjamin, who was listening to the conversation, was stunned. Huston hadn’t been to the company for almost a week, and the words “the child woke up” were filled with indulgence. It was hard to imagine that such an indifferent and ruthless person could change so much because of a woman and a child.
his was what they referred to as love changing a person.” encountering a woman who could tame him.
In a hurry, Huston pushed open the door to the hospital room. Lucas was already sitting up, his big eyes still showing signs
of sleepiness. He turned his head eagerly and asked, “Where’s Mom?”
“Mom is busy with something and had to leave first.” Huston lied shamelessly, his heart pounding in his chest.
If Lucas were to find out that Mom left because of him, he might as well start a fight.
