Chapter 222 It's Like Letting

• a Sheep Go Back to the Mountain After the annual meeting, Lucy strongly requested Evelyn to come home as soon as possible. Evelyn and Huston went back to the villa to pack up. They hadn’t formally met each other’s families yet, so it wasn’t convenient for her to bring Huston home. She didn’t expect that he had already arranged for Sam to prepare gifts in advance. There were the latest electronic products for Ben and all kinds of precious tonics for Lucy. The trunk was packed full of those items. Evelyn suddenly felt that the journey home was a little heavy.
• “Why don’t you take some out and keep them? It’s a little too much…” “Too much?” Huston glanced at it and shook his head. “Originally, I intended to get two sets of everything, but Sam persuaded me not to.” Evelyn silently agreed with Sam’s approach, glad he persuaded Huston not to do so. “I’m just going home for a holiday, not for gift-giving. If you give too much, my mom will give them to others.” She came from an ordinary family, which didn’t place much emphasis. on such things. Giving too many gifts would make them feel uncomfortable instead. Her parents were not greedy for valuables, and they would also feel stressed if they took these gifts.
• Huston didn’t think much of it. He believed it was only right for him to give gifts to his future parents-in- law. If it weren’t for the fear that Evelyn would feel uncomfortable, he would have bought a house for them not far away. After moving everything to the car, Huston asked the driver to go first while he personally drove to accompany her. Despite the sparse traffic on the road and the smooth journey ahead, Huston drove extremely slowly. The car maintained a steady speed of around 40 miles per hour. As he thought about their impending separation, he couldn’t bring himself to press down on the accelerator pedal. Evelyn couldn’t stand it anymore and glanced at him with amusement.
