Chapter 742 Feeding Porridge and Kissing Her
Women are often considered the most contradictory creatures in the world. Evelyn didn’t realize it before, but now she was experiencing it firsthand. She never imagined that she would be this way one day.
However, when she thought about Huston’s promise to take her to see Lucas, Evelyn found it hard to believe. Although she knew deep down that he wouldn’t go back on his word, his sudden change was still surprising.
She couldn’t help but wish to recover quickly and be discharged from the hospital tomorrow so that she could see Lucas tomorrow night. The thought of her child softened her heart completely.
Lost in her thoughts, Evelyn suddenly saw someone approaching her bedside. With her head lowered, she felt a familiar presence and looked up to see that it was Huston.
He had returned after leaving earlier, and although his expression wasn’t the best, he had two bowls of porridge in his hands.
As he noticed the confusion in her eyes, Huston felt embarrassed yet couldn’t help but lower himself and hand her the bowls of porridge with a somewhat unfriendly tone, “Here’s your porridge.”
She blinked, looked at the porridge, and then looked at him. “Did you go out to get the porridge just now?”
“I was about to leave, but the person delivering the porridge happened to call.” He stubbornly refused to admit it, wanting to save face even at his age. He left with great momentum and then shamefully came back again.
Evelyn looked at the slightly reddened earlobes of his and knew he was saying it on purpose. She didn’t expose him and instead responded in a meaningful tone, “What a ‘coincidence’ indeed!”
The sarcasm in her words was too obvious for Huston to miss.
His face immediately hardened, and he glared at her fiercely, “Can’t you keep your mouth shut?”
Evelyn didn’t bother to argue with him. She knew that it wouldn’t lead to a good outcome. Instead, she focused her energy on the porridge. Although she didn’t have much appetite initially, seeing the vegetable porridge in her hands made her suddenly feel hungry.
She lifted the lid, revealing the fragrant aroma. She couldn’t help but swallow her saliva. Before she could even take at spoonful, she saw him lower another bowl toward her, “Eat this one?”
One bowl was Lotus Seed Porridge, and the other was Vegetable Porridge. Both in terms of taste and appearance, Evelyn was more inclined towards the Vegetable Porridge, “I’ll eat this one.”
Unexpectedly, the man directly put the porridge aside. “Eat them all. Not much.”
Just as she was about to take a spoonful and reply, his words caught her off guard. She choked on her own breath and started coughing, unable to speak properly.
The man frowned and stood up. He leaned over and stroked her back with his big palm, “Take it slow, no one is going to snatch it from you.”
Tears welled up in her eyes as her face turned red. It took her a while to recover from the coughing fit, and when she looked at him, there was a hint of reproach in his gaze, but it also carried a touch of a woman’s charming pout. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
She didn’t even notice that it was a completely subconscious reaction.
Huston was taken aback by her gaze. He had initially wanted to scold her for talking while eating, but all his anger disappeared in an instant. He leaned down and lightly brushed his lips against hers,
leaving a brief and gentle kiss, “Alright, it’s fine now.”
She felt a warm sensation on her lips, and then the man left. Before she could even react, everything was over.
Evelyn raised her hand to touch her lips, feeling a bit dazed. When the realization sank in, her already flushed face turned even redder. “What… What are you doing?”
Ignoring whether she wanted him to kiss her or not, there were still people around them. How could he have such thick skin? Acting as if nothing had happened!
He even said, “Alright, it’s fine now.” Was he comforting her with this kiss?
She didn’t need it!
Evelyn didn’t realize that she now looked like an irritable little hedgehog, raising her defenses and resistance all over her body. She was feisty, yet cute at the same time.
