What Evelyn was most afraid of was letting the people around her know that she had lost her memory. Could she just say no? Yes, but she couldn't explain why she was so resistant to it.
Once her loved ones found out that she had lost her memory, she would feel insecure and afraid that everything would be changed. Therefore, she would rather not say anything and recover little by little.
However, she managed to deceive Ben and Lucy, even Lucas, but she couldn't deceive Bert.
From the moment Bert entered the door, from the moment she met his sharp eyes, a voice inside her heart whispered, "This is not good." The gaze in his eyes was like X-rays as if it could see through everything about a person.
She just didn't expect that she would be seen through just like that.
She had met Miss. Graves before, but Huston did not know anything about it, so he did not stop her before she said that.
Evelyn opened her mouth and took two seconds to find her voice. "Ah, really? Maybe I forgot something because I've been away for too long. Just now, I felt a bit familiar, but I can't recall for sure. I kept saying I must have seen her before, or else..."
"Evelyn." Before she could finish, Bert interrupted her with a smile, but there was no relief in his smile at all. "You met at the bar. It's very special, and you will never forget the woman who appeared by my side. You have a deep impression of her."
With just a few words, Evelyn was already unable to resist. The hand held by Huston tightened, and he sensed it. He spoke in a low voice, "Mr. Harper, please stop pressing for more answers."
Huston didn't say it clearly, but his words were no different from admitting it indirectly.
Once again, Bert met Evelyn's bright but somewhat hollow eyes. In the end, he understood everything, and that was why he could no longer laugh.
On the way, the excitement and joy of knowing her return turned into worry. He was concerned about her current state, to the point where he felt that if Huston was by her side, everything would be all right.
