Chapter 166 Standing Up

• for Her “Huston, do you have work to do in the afternoon?” “No.” “That’s great. I’ll ask your grandma to cook a meal for you. Don’t you like carrot dumplings? I’ll ask her to make them for you.” Sir Lloyd suggested and then instructed, “Since you don’t have anyone to help you at home, have the driver go and buy some fresh ingredients later.” How could Huston not understand what they meant? If it were under normal circumstances, he might have agreed.
• But now that Evelyn was here, he politely declined, “There’s no need for such trouble. We don’t usually cook at home. Let’s go out to eat later.” “The food outside is not as delicious as the food at home. Besides, your grandma and I have come here. What’s the trouble?” After saying that, Sir Lloyd glanced at Evelyn. “Does Ms. Shelton think it’s inconvenient?” Evelyn’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly explained, “No such a thing. I’ll go with the driver to buy ingredients later.” As soon as Sir Lloyd said that, it put Evelyn in a difficult position. She couldn’t refuse, nor could she stay silent.
• It felt like she was being grilled over a fire. Huston frowned. Seeing that he was about to lose his temper, Evelyn tugged on his sleeve and whispered, “Anyway, I have nothing to do in the afternoon. It’s all for you.” Huston let out a deep breath and raised an eyebrow. “You know how to make dumplings?” Evelyn looked a little embarrassed. “I can barely make it.” She had some experience making dumplings when she was a child, but the dumplings she made didn’t look good, and the filling wasn’t well seasoned. “Don’t regret it later.” After saying this, Huston did not say anything else, leaving Evelyn alone in a mess. Huston’s grandparents insisted on making dumplings, and it was hard to refuse their kindness, so Evelyn couldn’t say anything. She took her wallet and went out with the driver to buy ingredients. After she left, Huston went downstairs.
