Chapter 663 No Entry for Your Future Grandson-in-law Too
“Heard you’ve been busy lately?” Sir Lloyd hinted, referring to his refusal to see Luna.
“Yeah, went to Eoland, stayed there for a while,” Huston replied without concealing anything, openly admitting it.
“Eoland?” Sir Lloyd frowned. “Do you have business there?”
Clearly, he didn’t believe it, and the atmosphere at the dining table became somewhat awkward due to the conversation
between Sir Lloyd and Huston.
“Even if I told you, you wouldn’t know. Why bother asking?”
Huston retorted.
“Fine, fine!” Sir Lloyd repeated twice, then changed the
topic. “I don’t understand your work matters, but what about
settling down in your personal life?”
Whenever this topic came up, it usually led to unpleasant arguments between them. The best outcome was usually silence between them. But today, unexpectedly, Huston. responded, “If everything goes smoothly, then in the near
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone at the table was
stunned.
Especially Sir Lloyd, who exclaimed, “What did you say?”
“I mean to settle down. I’m just not sure if she is willing,” Huston casually replied, while taking a dumpling into his
mouth.
Luna, who was initially filled with joy, wondering if he had a change of heart and remembered her good qualities, or if he had reached an age where he wanted a family, had all her hopes shattered by his words.
The person he admired was not her. If it were her, how could she have any doubts? Her affection for Huston was evident to
everyone.
“Now that you’ve decided to settle down, you can at least talk to the family about her condition, right?” Sir Lloyd asked, his emotions flaring up.
“Well, it’s not like you don’t know her. You all know her too,” Huston put down his knife and fork, picked up a tissue from the side, wiped the corners of his mouth calmly, and dropped a bombshell, “Evelyn is back.”
“What?!” Sir Lloyd was so shocked that he choked on his saliva. Coughing a few times, he didn’t even bother to drink water or catch his breath before immediately asking, “Isn’t she
the one who was taken away by the police five years ago…?”
“It’s a misunderstanding,” Huston spoke calmly, without a trace of panic, as if he had known all along that she was alive.
“She has been in Eoland all this time and started a successful
law firm.”
The elderly couple looked at each other, still unable to recover
from the shock of this news.
They never expected that one day Evelyn would come back
alive and once again appear in Huston’s life.
Back then, they strongly opposed their relationship, but
the two of them persisted. They lost contact only after that
accident. Now, hearing such news, their hearts were filled with
mixed emotions.
Could it be fate?
Sir Lloyd chased away his thoughts and his face turned serious. “I tell you, five years ago, your grandmother and I didn’t allow you two to be together, and five years later, we still won’t allow it! She is lucky enough to come back alive, it’s her own ability. Whatever she does, however well she does it, it has nothing to do with us. I will never let you two be together!”
The bond between the two of them was too deep. If they were to rekindle their relationship now, it would likely involve too many complications. The old man, in his old age, just wanted Huston to live a peaceful and happy life.
