Huston bent down, getting closer, and his arms wrapped around her lower back and back as if he wanted to hold her all in.
His thin lips slowly opened beside her ear. "I know. Thank you."
Originally, Evelyn just wanted to vent the suppressed emotions from earlier due to nervousness. But when she heard his gentle comfort, her nose felt a bit sour, and she said in a muffled voice, "It's okay. I just wanted to ease my mood..."
Hearing her childlike words, Huston couldn't help but smile wryly. He gently patted her back with his large hand and said, "You don't need to be afraid anymore. I'm here, no matter what you say or do, no matter what others think. I will help you solve everything."
Evelyn took a deep breath, and her nose was filled with the pleasant smell of his body. "That's your mother. If I offend her, will you still support me?"
This kind of question was as tricky as "Whom to save first if your girlfriend and mother fall into the water." Helpless yet indulgent, Huston shook his head, "Would you offend her? Even when having a meal, you were so cautious. You wouldn't offend her."
"That's true..." Evelyn decided not to waste her brain cells on these meaningless assumptions.
At this moment, Sadie came out of the kitchen after tidying up and saw the two of them embracing. Although she had seen it many times before, she couldn't help but blush every time.
As a servant, she was happy that Huston and Evelyn had a good relationship, but sometimes she would be embarrassed by this unexpected "showing love."
Seeing Sadie turn around and enter the house in a hurry, Evelyn quickly pushed away the person in front of her and said, "I'll go upstairs and continue to read the information about the flower shop."
"Are you really going to reopen it?"
"Yeah, anyway, I have nothing to do now. Since I did a good job before, I don't want to give up now."
"Yes, but you still have to think of a way to spend money. Otherwise, I won't have the motivation to make money." What Huston said was true. The biggest motivation for him to make money now was her. Other than that, he really didn't have any other thoughts.
He had more than enough money. At least in that lifetime, he didn't need to worry about prosperity and wealth. The only thing missing was a woman who could spend his money.
It was a different sense of accomplishment.
Evelyn's eyes flickered as she tiptoed and leaned closer. She playfully winked at him and said, "Don't worry, when the time comes, I'll start a chain franchise, and I'll definitely need money. Don't forget to support me, and I'll give you a share of the profits."
With a low chuckle, Huston agreed without even asking, "Deal, boss."
