Chapter 47 Promise Her
- After a moment of silence, looking at the tears that were about to shed from the woman’s eyes, he finally gave in. He moved his palm from her delicate chin to the back of her neck, stroked her tender skin with his thumb, and comforted her. “I “didn’t say that you deserve it. I will help you deal with Jerry. Evelyn, you’re an adult now. Before taking action, you have to consider the consequences. If I hadn’t happened to be there today, what would you do?” She avoided his warm palm and said, “I do have a failed marriage. In the end, my ex-husband was ruthless to me. It’s normal for you to look down on me.” Seeing that she couldn’t listen to him, he tightened his grip and pushed her forward. He stared at her with his dark eyes and said, “If I don’t want to care about you. I’ll push you away when we met in the lift.”
- If he hadn’t heard her voice at that time, he wouldn’t have even looked at her, whether she was dead or alive. But when he found that it was her, he looked at her tear-stained face and felt her trembling body, and his hard heart softened little by little. He hadn’t fought for many years, but today he made an exception for her. Only he could touch his own things. “Tell me in advance if you need anything,” the man ordered. lightly. Her eyelashes fluttered a few times, and her stubborn voice was full of grievance. “I told you and I called you before I came, but you didn’t answer.” Huston’s brows furrowed even more tightly as he recalled that he had gone out to attend a municipal meeting today. His phone had been on silent mode the entire time, and he had not even had the chance to see the phone after the meeting before he went to the Red Cauldron.
- He took out his phone and saw that as expected, two missed calls and a text message were from Evelyn. His heart felt as if it had been scratched. It hurt and itchy. A strange feeling flashed across his heart. Guilt? Annoyance? Or did he regret it? None of them. It was more like that he felt tender and protective towards her. If he had received the call, he would never have let her come alone, and what happened next would not have happened. The man frowned. “I won’t do it again.”” She looked up at him, thinking that she had misheard, but when she met his serious gaze, she knew that she had not misheard. He was actually… making a promise to her? She became nervous and coughed unnaturally. “It doesn’t matter…” “Are you still dizzy?”
