Chapter 402 It’s Like Letting a Sheep Go Back to the Mountain
After the annual meeting, Lucy strongly requested Evelyn to come home as soon as possible.
Evelyn and Huston went back to the villa to pack up. They hadn’t formally met each other’s families yet, so it wasn’t
convenient for her to bring Huston home. She didn’t expect that he had already arranged for Sam to prepare gifts in
advance.
There were the latest electronic products for Ben and all kinds
of precious tonics for Lucy. The trunk was packed full of those
items.
Evelyn suddenly felt that the journey home was a little heavy. “Why don’t you take some out and keep them? It’s a little too
much…”
“Too much?” Huston glanced at it and shook his head.
“Originally, I intended to get two sets of everything, but Sam persuaded me not to.”
Evelyn silently agreed with Sam’s approach, glad he persuaded Huston not to do so.
“I’m just going home for a holiday, not for gift-giving. If you give too much, my mom will give them to others.” She came from an ordinary family, which didn’t place much emphasis. on such things. Giving too many gifts would make them feel
uncomfortable instead.
Her parents were not greedy for valuables, and they would also feel stressed if they took these gifts.
Huston didn’t think much of it. He believed it was only right for him to give gifts to his future parents-in-law.
If it weren’t for the fear that Evelyn would feel uncomfortable, he would have bought a house for them not far away.
After moving everything to the car, Huston asked the driver to go first while he personally drove to accompany her.
Despite the sparse traffic on the road and the smooth journey
ahead, Huston drove extremely slowly. The car maintained
a steady speed of around 40 miles per hour. As he thought
about their impending separation, he couldn’t bring himself to
press down on the accelerator pedal.
Evelyn couldn’t stand it anymore and glanced at him with
amusement. “Hurry up. My mom is waiting for me to have
lunch.”
She might not even reach home by one o’clock in the
afternoon at this speed.
Huston ignored her. When his gaze met her smiling eyes, he
had a feeling of separating from his pet.
“Does going home make you this happy?” Huston felt downcast while she seemed to be very cheerful. The thought of it made him feel a bit sulky in his heart.
Thinking about him being alone at home, Evelyn didn’t
intentionally provoke him and picked up on something he liked to hear, saying, “Don’t be unhappy. Who knows, maybe you
can also come home with me for a holiday in the future.”
Sure enough, as soon as she said that, Huston’s face looked a
little better.
Evelyn felt somewhat helpless. Previously, she always thought
that he was unpredictable and difficult to get along with, but
as she got to know him better, she realized that he was quite
easy to please.
“I’ll bring you something delicious when I get back.”
“What are you going to bring me?” Huston had a disdainful expression, but deep down, he looked forward to it.
“Sausages and other preserved foods. I’ll bring whatever
delicious things we have at home for you.” Evelyn raised her
hand and gently stroked his head, careful not to distract him from driving. “Don’t be unhappy I try to come back early
