Chapter 403 It’s Tiring to Kiss So High
Huston calculated the time. “You can come back on January
4th.”
Evelyn blinked her eyes, thinking she had misheard. It was
quite rare for him to make a concession voluntarily.
“Do you have anything to do on the day before I come back?”
“Yes, I’ll go to the island with Marcellus for a few days. I’ll be
returning on that day.”
The island?
Evelyn subconsciously thought of Mia and asked, “What about
Mia then?”
“Sadie will take care of her. I have paid Sadie five times.”
She raised her eyebrows, imitating his expression. “So you had everything planned in advance and didn’t bother to tell me?”
“If I had told you, would you have been able to accompany
me?”
Evelyn pursed her lips. Well, she really couldn’t.
She sighed jealously and said, “Ah, it must be nice to be
wealthy. You can go wherever you want to travel, unlike us
ordinary people who can only stay at home…”
The seriousness on Huston’s face almost faltered when he
heard her teasing him. He pretended to twist her waist and
said, “Do you want to be taught a lesson?”
Evelyn pretended to be frightened and quickly leaned against
the car door. “No, no, no, I’m sorry.”
They chatted and laughed along the way, and when the car
stopped at the entrance of the Hub Apartment, it was nearly
half past twelve. Evelyn took the things off the car herself, as the driver wasn’t there, and Huston couldn’t go upstairs. She
was left alone with over a dozen bags, looking like a walking
hanger.
“I’m going upstairs now. You should go back.”

Huston stood still. “I’ll watch you go upstairs before leaving.”
