Finding Love in the Boss’s Embrace After Divorce novel Chapter 740

Chapter 740 She's Lying

Without waiting for any refusal, Huston had already made a phone call to Benjamin to order from the best congee shop in the northern part of the city, "Last time, I bought two types of congee for Lucas, and he really liked them."

At the mention of Lucas, Evelyn's eyes softened a little, "He doesn't have a good appetite. Be careful with his diet."

"I know." Since the incident with the food blockage, he had become much more cautious and had Sadie prepare specially tailored meals.

Grace looked at the two of them exchanging words and felt that it was a good atmosphere. She blinked her eyes and thought it was time for her to leave, "Should I go first? I have some work to do later."

Huston was waiting for her to say, "Okay, just go. Thank you for your help. Goodbye."

Did she have to be so efficient?

Grace twitched her lips a couple of times and returned the phone to Evelyn before remembering something about Bert. She slapped her forehead lightly, "Oh no! I forgot to mention, Mr. Harper called you in the morning. I told him that your phone was with me, and he asked me to let you know to contact him."

"It doesn't matter. I'll call him now."

Grace nodded and picked up her bag, "Alright then, I'll leave. If you need anything, just give me a call. I'm available anytime."

Evelyn glanced at the slightly dimming sky outside the window. They had been brought to the hospital by ambulance, and Grace probably didn't have her car with her. She couldn't let her go back alone in her current condition. Feeling hesitant, she looked at the man sitting beside her, wanting to say something but holding back.

She looked awkwardly at the man sitting next to her. She wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.

"What's wrong?"

She said with some embarrassment, "Can you find someone to send Grace back?"

For Huston, it was a small matter, perhaps the smallest, but he found himself somewhat stunned. This was the first time since Evelyn's return to the country that she directly asked for his help.

"It's me," Evelyn tried to make her voice sound calm, "I just got my phone. You called me this morning, right?"

"Yeah."

He then asked, "Where are you?"

Evelyn's heart tightened when he asked, and she couldn't tell him the truth. She was afraid that if he became too anxious, he would rush over immediately. She evaded the question, "I'm at Grace's place, just arrived."

After speaking, she instinctively glanced an ambulance in Huston's direction, and her eyes met his deep black gaze.

Her heart suddenly raced, and she didn't dare linger, quickly looking away. "By the way, I'll probably stay at her place tonight. Tomorrow, we can go out together."

Bert didn't say anything, but he had already sensed that she was lying. They had been together for five years, and if he couldn't even detect that, he would be too foolish.
