Chapter 307 What Exactly Is Your Relationship?
Huston tightly gripped Evelyn’s wrists, wanting to pull her into his embrace, but she mustered up her determination to leave, her strength momentarily overpowering his control.
“Get lost! Don’t touch me!”
Her roar tore apart Huston’s heart. Looking at her tearful face, he felt no better than her. “It’s not what you think. There’s nothing between us…”
“How long are you going to keep deceiving me?!” Evelyn’s eyes were bloodshot as she stared intensely at the man in front of her, her gaze piercing as if trying to see through him. “For how long? Since your frequent social engagements, or even before that? Huston, do you think I’m so foolish and easily deceived in your eyes? Do you think I would trust you with just a few words? Well, congratulations, you succeeded. You’ve successfully made me so pitiful and pathetic!”
“Evelyn!” Huston interrupted her, his deep eyes turning slightly red. He didn’t even glance at Mia behind him as his heart wast filled with panic and concern for Evelyn. “I won’t allow you to speak about yourself like that!”
Evelyn’s voice weakened as if she had heard a joke, and her eyes looked at him mockingly. “You won’t allow me to speak like this,
yet you have done such things.
“I didn’t!” Looking at the shattered Evelyn in front of him, Huston could clearly hear his heart breaking. It took a great effort for him to embrace her, and he couldn’t let go. He feared that he would never have another chance to hold onto her if he let go. “There is nothing between her and me. We are completely innocent. If you don’t believe me, I can have her explain it. She
is like a sister to me.”
Upon hearing the words “sister” from him, Evelyn remembered something. There was a time when she accidentally walked into his office, and on his desk was a photo of him with the woman behind him. At that time, he also said that she was his younger
sister.
Younger sister?
Evelyn looked beyond him to Mia behind her. It was an extremely unhealthy countenance, with thin checks and prominent cheekbones, but still a beautiful face. Evelyn didn’t like the sympathy in her gaze, as if she were the one who had failed.
The overwhelming bitterness and anguish were about to drown Evelyn. What could be more heart-wrenching than the current
situation?
With a trembling breath, she forced herself to calm down. At the very least, she had to look calm. She stopped resisting and said in a calm tone, “Huston, let me go.”
Hearing her call
trembled, and he dared not force her any further.
