Chapter 653 Did You Leave Because of This Child?
“What about the child… What’s the story behind it?”
“It’s mine and Huston’s. He’s over four years old now. When
I left five years ago, I was already pregnant. As you know, Lucas is that child,” Evelyn explained honestly, without hiding anything.
Grace couldn’t help but open her mouth wide. When Evelyn was in prison, she entrusted her with the pregnancy test. Later, after the incident, Evelyn was gone, and no one mentioned the child anymore. She couldn’t believe that five years had passed, and not only was the child still alive, but also healthy and already so grown up.
Thinking about all this, she couldn’t help but feel emotional. “Did you leave because of this child?”
“Ninety percent of the reason was because of him.” The other
ten percent was disappointed with Huston.
Grace sighed and reached out to hold her hand. “Does Huston
know about all this?”
“He knows.”
“Did he say anything?”
“I don’t know. He treats the child well, but… I’m worried he won’t let go and will try to take the child away from me. I came back this time to talk to him properly!” Just thinking about it made Evelyn feel distressed and confused.
Grace’s expression turned serious as she listened. “Evelyn, during these five years when you were in trouble and disappeared, Huston was the one who searched for you the hardest. At first, we didn’t want to believe it, but as time went by, everyone accepted it in their hearts, except for him. He never accepted it and kept searching for you. He has deep feelings for you, so it won’t be easy for you to make him let go.”
Not only for this child, but Huston won’t let go of Evelyn either. The man’s obsession with this relationship runs deep.
“And besides…” Grace looked at her, hesitating before
speaking, “You haven’t forgotten about him either, or else how
would you have this child?”
“Grace, the child was born five years ago. I admit that I had feelings for Huston back then, but now, everything has changed,” Evelyn said, concealing the sadness in her eyes. She just wanted to live a normal life now and had become afraid of relationships.
“But Huston is still the child’s father after all. It’s probably impossible for you to completely sever ties with him.” If Huston had been heartless and unfeeling towards her, then it would have been easier to deal with, but the current situation was difficult.
“We’ll see how things go.” She didn’t know anything for certain at the moment, so she could only take it one step at a time.
After discussing the heavy topic, Grace expressed her concern for Evelyn over the past five years. “Where have you been living all these years?”
“I’ve been in Lownon, Eoland. Actually, that accident was also somewhat intentional,” Evelyn revealed, not wanting to hide anything from her to avoid future misunderstandings.
“What?”
“Yes, I had no other choice at that time and had to resort to
such extreme measures to leave,” Evelyn explained, feeling
guilty as she held her hand. “I’m sorry, I understand if you blame me or feel angry.”
