Chapter 224 What's Your Relationship

• With Him Now? After the car disappeared from her sight, Evelyn turned around and went upstairs with many items in her hands. She was sweating profusely when she reached the fourth floor. Just as she stood at the door, before she could even knock, Lucy walked out from inside the door. “I heard some noise just now. Why did it take you so long to come up… Wait. Are you moving?” Seeing the pile of things in her hand, Lucy quickly stepped forward to help her carry a few. After entering the room, Ben was a little surprised to see the pile of things carried by them. “What are these?” Evelyn bent down and put the things down. She didn’t know how to explain it and made up an excuse. “This is the company’s welfare for this year. I also bought some for myself. I can’t use all these, so I get them back for you.” “Humph.” Ben walked over and glanced at the bag. He obviously didn’t believe it.
• “Do you think your mother and I are fools? Can you afford these things?” look down on me too much.” raly and muttered, “Dad, you When Ben worked in politically-related jobs before, he often received gifts from various people. There was a wide variety of gifts, and although he didn’t accept them, he was familiar with and understood the practice. These items were definitely not something that Evelyn could afford with just a few months’ salary. Lucy casually opened one of the bags, inside of which was the latest model of a smartphone. She immediately frowned and covered the items back up. “Evelyn, where did you get these things from?” she asked with a hint of concern. Seeing that she couldn’t hide it anymore, Evelyn could only tell the truth. “These are gifts from Huston…” “Huston?” “Yes…” Evelyn lowered her head unconsciously.
• “He said it’s a small gesture of goodwill from him, and he wants you to accept it.” Actually, Huston’s exact words were that it was a small gesture of goodwill from him, and in the future, he would formally visit them when there’s an opportunity. However, Evelyn didn’t dare to say the latter half of the sentence, aring that Ben would get upset and kick her out of the door. Lucy and Ben looked at the gifts on the ground and then turned to look at each other. Their eyes were full of conflict and entanglement. Lucy took Evelyn’s hand and brought her to the sofa. “Evelyn, these things are expensive. We can’t accept them. You should return them…” “Mom, since these things are already here, let’s just keep them at home. Once they are given, he can’t take them back.” Thinking about taking the things back made Evelyn feel a headache.
