Chapter 205 Feeling Embarrassed
Evelyn almost drowned in her bitter tears. Her heart was beating violently and it hurt so much. She was flustered and
helpless, especially the photos on her mobile phone screen,
which were the last straw that broke her back.
She had never done such a thing, but who would listen to such a pale explanation?
Huston would listen to it, so he hid everything from her and took responsibility for everything. However, this was far from enough. Other than bringing himself endless pressure, it had no other effect.
People in the Lloyd family would not believe it, nor would the outside society.
She didn’t want to delay him. His family, career, and reputation, she didn’t want any of them.
Just as Evelyn was crying sadly, she suddenly heard a soft sound.
Her heart suddenly tightened, and she didn’t even have time to wipe away her tears before she hurriedly stood up and turned around.
Behind her, the man’s steady footsteps were getting closer and closer. When he stood behind her, a pair of warm hands fell on her shoulders. A few seconds later, he exerted more strength.
Evelyn’s body was extremely stiff. She hurriedly raised her
hand to wipe her face, trying not to sound so trembling. “I’ll get you something to eat downstairs. Go back to the bedroom
first…”
“Evelyn, look at me.”
Perhaps because of his fever, his voice was dry. Knowing his family’s attitude, Evelyn didn’t know how to face him at all.
Right now, she was… in a very awkward situation.
When Huston saw that the young woman in front of him was unmoved, he forcefully turned her body around. As expected, he saw a pair of red-rimmed eyes and a pair of pale lips that were dazzling.
The two of them faced each other, and the air quieted down a little. Every second felt like a great torture to Evelyn.
After a while, the man stroked her cheek with his big palm and wiped away the crisscrossing tears for her. His voice softened. “What are you crying for?”
Evelyn narrowed her eyes and realized that he might not have heard her conversation with Jerry. She shook her head and
said, “It’s nothing. I just won the lawsuit, so my mood is a little complicated.”
“Not happy?”
“No…” Evelyn opened her mouth, but couldn’t bring herself to
say the word “happy”.
Just as she was distracted, the phone in her hand was suddenly taken away by a force. She snapped back to reality, but it was still too late. The phone had already fallen into
Huston’s hands.
“Give it to me!” Like a conditioned reflex, Evelyn reached out to grab the phone back.
