Evelyn had been accustomed to having this man by her side after several months of being together. Especially after going through so much, returning to this place once again intensified that feeling.
"Huston," she suddenly called out his name, and her heart stirred.
Bert glanced at her and emitted a monotonous sound from his nostrils, "What's wrong?"
"Will you keep accompanying me?" Though it was due to various reasons, she still voiced the question, as if seeking assurance to alleviate her fears.
"I will," he gently lifted the corners of his lips, the warmth in his smile evident, "I'll be by your side."
In the confined cabin, with seats not particularly spacious, all the unknown wanderings in her mind disappeared almost entirely with those words.
It seemed that having him with her meant there was little to worry about.
Evelyn leaned towards him, resting her head on his broad shoulder, slowly closing her eyes, hoping for a peaceful dream.
When the plane landed in Jewel City, it was already late at night. They hadn't informed any relatives or friends to pick them up; Benjamin had taken care of everything.
Exiting the VIP passage at the airport, a black limousine was parked by the roadside. Benjamin promptly loaded their luggage into the car's trunk and stood at the front of the car while Huston and Kevin bid temporary farewells.
"You've worked hard during this period, and I might still trouble you in the future。"
Kevin's car was parked behind, and he gestured for Mabel to get in first. After hearing Huston's words, he patted Huston's shoulder, "Don't say that. We're brothers; it's only natural."
"Kevin," Huston called him as he was about to leave, his gaze thoughtful as he looked at Mabel in the car, "She's a good person, worth cherishing."
Huston had never been one to offer relationship advice, but for some reason, he found himself advising Kevin. They had known each other for a long time, and they had never come to a resolution. After experiencing life and death together, Huston now understood one thing profoundly---cherish the person in front of you.
When the moment to cherish them passes, it'll be too late for anything else.
