Finding Love in the Boss’s Embrace After Divorce novel Chapter 789

This regret actually caused him to blame himself, and he suddenly couldn't continue chatting. "I still have a meeting to attend. Let's talk later."

Evelyn opened her mouth and wanted to ask something, but it was still too late. She could only hurriedly remind him before he hung up, "Take good care of yourself. I'll be back in two days."

What responded to her was a cold and mechanically busy tone.

He hung up.

She frowned and looked at her phone, which had gone black again. She felt a little uneasy.

"Crack."

Behind her, the door was opened from the outside. When she turned her head, she saw a man walking in slowly. "I made porridge. Let's go down and have a drink?"

She looked at him in a daze, and what Bert said just now echoed in her ears.

He walked up to her and looked at her lost in thought. He waved his hand in front of her and said, "What are you thinking about? Why are you so absorbed in your thoughts?"

Looking into the man's deep eyes, she was very puzzled and asked uncertainly, "Huston, how's your business with Bert going?"

Her sudden question was unexpected. The man froze. Of course, he did not think that she asked it for no reason. His eyes fell on her mobile phone. While she was off guard, he took it and pressed the key to see the caller ID.

There was nothing to hide, but when he suddenly snatched it away, she felt insecure and subconsciously stood on tiptoe to snatch it away. "What are you doing? Give it to me!"

The height gap between them made it impossible for him to reach her. Looking at her flushed face, the man pursed his lips coldly and threw the phone on the big bed next to him.

She immediately wanted to take it, but she was grabbed by the arm. "I didn't expect Bert to like to complain to women?"

"..."

Evelyn's anger, which was about to turn into raging flames, suddenly subsided by more than half because of these words. Looking at his livid face and fiery eyes, she felt more helpless than angry.

Forget it. What's the point of arguing? The result will still be the same in the end.

She turned her face away and let out a long sigh. When she spoke again, she became more patient. "He really didn't say anything. He just asked me if I was better. You were too sensitive. I won't deny that I asked you about the company's affairs out of concern, but have you ever thought about what Bert means to me and Lucas? He is not an ordinary friend. He is the one who gave me another life in my heart. Do you understand?"

"I understand."

Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she heard the man say angrily again, "I don't know anything! If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have such a big gap with you in the past five years. Yes, you are thanking him. I can't do anything about it. But for me, he is an idiot who took my woman and child away without my knowledge. It's already polite of me not to do anything to him. You asked me to not fight back even though I am targeted. If you still treat me as a man, don't have such expectations!"
