"I'm going to ask Bert to come over."
As soon as Grace heard the man's name, he frowned. "Are you sure? If Mr. Harper gets involved in this matter, he will probably go to extremes."
"I don't want to, but now I don't have time to think about it." As soon as she thought of what had happened today, she panicked. "If the Lloyd family can take the child away today, they will do something even more outrageous tomorrow. I can't just sit around and wait."
"What do you want to do with Huston?" She was asking about their relationship. They had been friends for so many years, and she knew her very well. She could feel that Evelyn still had feelings for Huston and that they loved each other very much.
Watching the two of them love each other but unable to be together, she, as an onlooker, felt distressed.
Hearing this, she laughed at herself, and her beautiful eyes were full of loneliness and helplessness. "Grace, love is too extravagant for me. I can't afford it."
...
When Bert received the call, he was in a meeting at the company. When his assistant handed over his private phone and looked at the name on the screen, he was stunned for two seconds before he came to his senses.
It was the first time she had taken the initiative to contact him since she returned to the country, and Bert had restrained himself from disturbing her. He had been waiting for this call for a long time.
As a result, a group of executives watched their big boss holding his mobile phone and walking out of the conference room with a cold and arrogant face. He walked so fast that his feet were like a gust of wind.
For Bert, who had never answered a phone call in a meeting, this behavior surprised everyone present.
The assistant had no choice but to clear his throat and explain, "Our boss is dealing with the business. Wait a minute."
Bert walked into the office and closed the door behind him. As soon as the door was locked, he answered the phone almost at the same time. "Evelyn?"
"It's me." The woman's familiar soft voice came from the other end of the phone, but it had already swept away the gloom and irritation in his heart for several days.
