Chapter 644 You Haven’t Seen Through Your Heart Yet.
After she went upstairs, Evelyn pushed the door open and went in. There was only a tall figure sitting on the sofa. Hearing the sound, the man turned to look at her and asked in a clear voice, “How was the meeting?”
“I don’t know.” Evelyn was in a mess. She didn’t know what her conversation with Huston meant.
“Did he make trouble for you?” Bert was naturally worried. He tried his best to keep calm and comforted her slowly. “If you need anything, just tell me.”
Evelyn was moved. How many outstanding men could do this for you without asking for a reason? Moreover, with his condition, it was very easy for him to find a woman who was
better than her.
“Thank you, Bert.” She felt very guilty. “I don’t want to cause you trouble because of me. After all, I owe you a lot.”
“Evelyn.” The man called her name, and his tone was a little helpless. “When will you stop being so polite to me? I’m good to you, and I don’t ask you for anything in return. I just hope
‘t Seen Through You… 2/4 that I can take care of you and Lucas. Do you understand?”
Evelyn looked at him with a complicated expression. “But…”
“Have you ever thought that regardless of whether Huston brings you trouble or emotion, you have never felt it as an additional thing? And you are always afraid of not being able to repay my efforts and getting close to me, even if I never needed you to repay me.” He smiled, and his helpless look made people feel sorry for him. “I even envy that man for being able to get all kinds of feelings for you. As for me, you always have your line, and I can’t cross it.””
“Bert, I…”
“You don’t have to say anything. I understand.” He didn’t want to make things difficult for her. Those closely involved might not even be able to see herself. “I just want you to know that when you and Lucas need me, I will always be there!”
Evelyn almost burst into tears because of his words. She suddenly felt that her current attitude was too unfair to Bert. After thinking for a moment, she made up her mind and said, “Actually, I discussed the child with Huston today. He wants me to come back.”
Bert had expected the man to take action, but he didn’t expect him to be so fast. “What about you? What do you
think?”
3/4
“I don’t know,” Evelyn told the truth. It was still the same sentence. She hadn’t thought it through and had no idea what was going on.
She didn’t want to go back to Jewel City with Huston. She didn’t know what would happen this time. But if she didn’t go back, she could escape for a while, but she couldn’t escape for the rest of her life. Moreover, now that Huston knew of Lucas, he would not allow them to live outside. He would try his best to pester them.
She couldn’t escape every time she was discovered. The child was getting bigger and needed to live a stable life, and all of this needed to be discussed with Huston when she returned home.
The expectation hidden in the bottom of Bert’s eyes was shattered. He hoped that she could give him a definite answer and tell him that she would not go, but unfortunately…
The man frowned, hid all his disappointment and loneliness, and said as usual, “If you don’t know what to do, go ahead.”
Evelyn was very surprised and thought that he would stop her.
