Finding Love in the Boss’s Embrace After Divorce novel Chapter 658

Chapter 658 Mom… 

Huston least wanted to hear Cathy say these things, so he interrupted in a low voice, “I understand.” 

“Then… are you coming back?” 

“Mm.” 

Cathy breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good. I’ll make dumplings and wait for you to come back!” 

After hanging up the phone, Huston parked the car in a temporary parking space by the roadside, feeling restless. He lit a cigarette and rolled down the car window halfway. 

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to go back; it was just that no one in his family understood him. They only knew he was busy but didn’t know what he was busy with. Moreover, going to the old house for dinner with Cathy would inevitably involve the man she had remarried. It’s not that he disliked him, but he didn’t know how to interact with him. 

Not to mention, every time that man looked at him, it was awkward. It wasn’t the gaze of a younger generation or a son but rather the gaze of a subordinate looking at a superior. 

such situations, but he was still a son after 

all. When he heard Cathy say those things, he couldn’t say anything, unable to refuse. 

Over the years, he had been accustomed to being alone. Since graduating from high school, he hadn’t asked his family for a single penny. He took care of everything himself, and it was inevitable that he grew unfamiliar with family matters. But there were things he had to face. 

Just go then. 

Evelyn led Lucas up the stairs. Lucas had never climbed stairs like this in an old building before. He panted as he climbed, struggling. Finally, they reached the fourth floor, but Evelyn. stood at the door and hesitated to knock. 

“Mama, aren’t we going in?” Lucas felt that Mama had been acting strange recently, always zoning out, and her movements were particularly sluggish, unlike when they were in Eoland. 

Evelyn lowered her head and gave some anxious instructions, “Lucas, when we see them later, remember to call out to Grandma and Grandpa. No matter what happens, you need to know that Grandma and Grandpa love Mama the most, and they love you the most too.” 

Lucas didn’t understand why Mama said this, but he tried hard to understand and nodded, “I know.” 

With gritted teeth, Evelyn raised her hand and pressed the doorbell. 

3/4 

The doorbell rang twice, and she faintly heard footsteps approaching from the other side. Her heart rose to her throat, and it didn’t subside until the door was completely opened. 

It seemed like Lucy was tidying up the housework, wearing an apron and arm sleeves. She muttered, “Coming, coming,” but when she saw the person in front of her, she froze completely. 

The person who had thick, black hair five years ago now had a head full of white hair. Although the family had never been wealthy, they had never struggled for food and clothing, but Lucy showed no signs of improvement or vitality. She looked like she had aged over ten years, even her eyes were cloudy and dull. 

Tears burst out from Evelyn’s eyes, and she trembled as she called out, “Mom…” 

Lucy didn’t show the expected excitement. She just closed her eyes, shook her head, and then reached out her hand toward Evelyn, slowly, shakily, and touched her face, unable to stop trembling. 

She touched it, not an illusion, but a real person! 

Lucy seemed to finally believe that it was her who had returned. Her eyes, lined with fine wrinkles, widened, and her breathing became suddenly rapid as if she couldn’t catch her breath. “Evelyn…”
