He was Evelyn's father, so he naturally treated Ben as an elder in his heart. Especially after experiencing so many things, he felt guilty for Evelyn, so he naturally lacked some confidence in front of Ben.
It just so happened that he was sick. If Ben didn't like him, he was afraid that he would get angry and hurt his body. In that case, Evelyn would be worried.
Their eyes met. The two men had different identities, but they were all for the same woman.
It was rare for Huston to be so nervous. Fortunately, even though Ben was scrutinizing him, he didn't show any trace of politeness. It couldn't be considered friendly, nor could it be considered a rejection. It was even a little flat.
"Don't worry, Uncle Ben. I've just asked the doctor. After the operation, all you have to do is recuperate in peace." In the end, it was Huston who broke the silence first.
Ben looked away. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "Okay."
Evelyn watched from the side and could not help but be nervous. Although it was just one word, it still made her feel much more at ease. She knew that if Ben did not agree, he would not even bother to respond to it.
Fortunately, he was willing to accept Huston.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon. Before Lucy could eat, Evelyn took her meal card and went to the VIP canteen to buy lunch. When she walked to the door of the restaurant, she was pulled directly to the elevator by Huston.
She looked up in confusion. "Aren't we going to buy some food?"
The man didn't look up. "I've ordered a special tonic soup. It's been delivered downstairs. I have to get it."
"When did you prepare it?" Evelyn was a little surprised. Everyone had been so busy this morning that they hadn't seen when he had prepared it.
"It's just a phone call." Huston didn't think much of it and took her hand into the elevator.
Evelyn still wanted to say something, but the man pressed the button and kissed her directly.
"Ouch!" Her lips were suddenly blocked, and she let out an unguarded moan.
Huston grabbed her head and pulled her back into his embrace. Then, he deepened the kiss.
