Evelyn felt very nervous, but she couldn't say anything. She could only mutter, "Don't be like this..."
"What about me?" Bert stared at the little woman in front of him. In the past five years, he had never been so angry. "I just asked. The man can kiss anywhere, right?"
"That's not what I meant!" Evelyn straightened her neck and refused without hesitation. "It's not what you think."
"It's not like that? Okay, tell me who it is."
"..." Evelyn looked into his eyes, bearing the anger and hostility in his eyes. What should she say? If it were anyone else who had made her suffer, she would have been able to say it, but not Huston.
She had a deep relationship with that man. She couldn't let Bert be entangled with them anymore.
So she was silent and had nothing to say.
The only fluke in Bert's heart disappeared in such silence. She didn't speak. She didn't want to tell him that when such information reached her brain, the first thought that flashed through his mind was that she wanted to protect that man.
Protect?
The man pursed his lips mockingly, but there was no smile on his face at all. "I was worried that something would happen to you all night. I was afraid that you would come back and be scared, so I stood in the corridor and waited for you. What was I waiting for? You had the smell of someone else and there were traces left on your body by someone else. Evelyn Shelton, was it because I was too easy-going before that you were so fearless?"
"No." She shook her head repeatedly. "I didn't think so. I remember how good you are to me. I've always taken you seriously!"
She attached great importance to Bert, because the most important thing for her was Lucas Shelton, and it was all thanks to this man that Lucas could survive.
