Finding Love in the Boss’s Embrace After Divorce novel Chapter 136

Chapter 136 Her Father’s Case 

Days passed. In the blink of an eye, it was time for John to go to court. Charlie took Evelyn to meet Nick in private again. 

That familiar but strange feeling once again surrounded Evelyn. After leaving the company, she explained to Huston and went straight back to the Hub Apartment. 

She hadn’t been home for a long time. When they learned that she was coming back, Lucy and Ben made a table full of dishes, which were all her favorites. 

“It’s Grilled Barbecue Ribs. Your dad made it. Try it.” 

“This is Mashed Potato. You can eat it with some jam. This was your favorite food when you were a child. At that time, you could eat a plate of it yourself!” 

“I bought the shrimps this afternoon. It may not be fresh, but it should be acceptable. It was cooked with tomato sauce…” 

At the dining table, Lucy kept picking up food for Evelyn, but she herself didn’t eat anything yet. 

Evelyn felt warm and a little sad. She always felt that she owed her parents too much because they still needed to worry about 

her. 

“Mom, I can get it myself. You should have some food.” 

Lucy put some lood on her plate. “I’ve eaten. You should eat more. It’s not easy for you to come back. Your father and I both see that you’ve lost weight.” 

After all, Evelyn was going to divorce Jerry now. After saying those angry words, Lucy still felt sorry for her child, especially when she thought that Jerry had done something wrong. At the thought of Evelyn’s grievance, the old couple felt suffocated. 

Ben didn’t know how to express himself, so he silently got some soup for Evelyn. He said, “Drink it while it’s warm.” 

Evelyn noticed that Ben’s white hair had been growing wildly recently and felt uncomfortable. After dinner, she sat on the sofa, took out a bank card from her bag, and put it on the table. 

“What are you doing?” Lucy didn’t understand what she meant. 

She said slowly, “Dad, Mom, here is my salary for the past few months. It’s all transferred into this card. I usually eat in the canteen and don’t spend much money. It’s less than 20,000 dollars in total. Take it and buy something you need.” 

“That won’t do!” Before Lucy could speak, Ben objected. “You don’t have much money. No matter what, your mother and I still have some savings. We don’t need your money. Just don’t let us worry about you!” 

“Dad…” 

“All right, stop talking. Your mother and I won’t accept your 

money. If you really want to be filial to us, divorce as soon as possible and manage your life well.” Ben put the card back into Evelyn’s bag without hesitation. 

The stalemate didn’t work, so Evelyn didn’t insist and could only agree with Ben.
