Finding Love in the Boss’s Embrace After Divorce novel Chapter 279

Chapter 279 Do You Believe Me? 

“No need.” Huston saw that the incoming call displayed Mia’s name. He quickly hung up the call and tucked the phone into the inner pocket of his clothes. His voice sounded tense and urgent, unlike his usual demeanor. 

When Evelyn saw him doing this, she was more than half awake. She blinked and was a little confused. Why did he 

hang up? 

The atmosphere in the car suddenly froze, and the 

atmosphere between them became subtle because of the phone call. 

Evelyn clenched her fists and asked tentatively, “Why don’t you 

answer it?” 

“It’s not a big deal. You don’t have to pay attention to it.” Huston did not look at her. His chin had clearly become a little 

stiff. 

No matter how careless Evelyn was, she realized that 

something was wrong. She frowned and said, “How do you know it’s not important before you answer the phone? What if there’s something urgent in the company?” 

“It’s fine. 

As soon as he said that, the temperature around him seemed to drop a little. The car, which had been warm just now, became a little colder at this time. Undoubtedly, his answer 

meant that he did not want to talk about it. 

As Evelyn thought about his recent behavior, which had indeed been somewhat unusual, she had many questions she 

wanted to ask him. However, she didn’t rush to speak. She waited until he drove the car into the underground garage of Royal Villa. As the car engine turned off, the overhead sensor lights automatically illuminated, casting a dim, yellowish light 

onto their faces. Yet, the light couldn’t dissolve the sharpness. 

on their faces. 

In the passenger seat, Evelyn unfastened her and did not get out of the car. She turned her gaze to the side of his face and 

took a deep breath as if she had decided to ask, “Huston, 

have you been hiding something from me recently?” 

Huston knew that she must have noticed something since she 

had asked this question. He knew that if he continued hiding 

it, she would discover something, but he had never thought about how to respond. 

Should he continue to beat around the bush? 

Obviously, she would not trust him so easily. 

Whenever there is a lie, 

especially in front of a beloved person. 

Huston remained silent and reached out to open the hidden compartment under the car’s center console. Inside, there was a pack of cigarettes. Evelyn caught a glimpse of it and quickly placed her hand on his, saying, “Why aren’t you saying 

anything?” 

Her one action had already shown her attitude. Today, she 

must get an answer. He was too abnormal. 

Huston frowned slightly as her gaze fell on the spot where their palms touched. Her lips moved slightly, and she could see the struggle in his heart. “Evelyn, I don’t want to lie to you.” 

Hearing this, Evelyn tightened her grip on the back of his hand and quickly moved it away as if she had been electrocuted.
