Chapter 491 I Didn't Think I Would Do That

• to Him Evelyn’s eyelids twitched slightly as she lied, “No, he just allowed me to see the child.” Bert, familiar with men as he was, clearly didn’t believe her. He knew that the man wouldn’t just let her see Lucas and nothing else, especially considering that it was Huston who was involved. However, she didn’t want to tell him because she didn’t want him to know. Bert frowned and wanted to say something, but in the end, he held back and gave. her some space, “Come back after you finish visiting Lucas.” He didn’t ask any more questions, which made Evelyn feel relieved, “Okay.” After hanging up the phone, the car interior fell back into silence. Evelyn unintentionally looked at herself in the rear-view mirror-her disheveled hair, and the red marks on her neck from earlier.
• She quickly averted her gaze, not wanting to see herself like that. Now that she had calmed down, she replayed everything that had happened earlier in her mind, feeling ashamed and unable to bear it. She had voluntarily engaged in such an act with Huston. Evelyn! Evelyn, you’ve really lost it! She closed her eyes and leaned against the seat behind her, letting out a deep breath. All she could see was the scene in the lounge. The way he pursed his lips in love, the way he called her name passionately, and the way he sweated… Evelyn bit her lip, wondering how she had lost control, and allowed herself to think of him, while also facing the piercing self-questioning in her heart. She chastised herself deeply. Opening her eyes, Evelyn looked at the empty underground parking lot, feeling a sense of confusion.
• Between a man and a woman, was it really just about this? After what happened today, how should she face this man in the days to come? When Lucas woke up, Huston was outside the room talking on the phone with his assistant, Benjamin. One of his investments had encountered a problem-a shareholder unexpectedly withdrew, causing a delay in the planned listing. It was a significant setback. If this investment failed, it would result in considerable losses. Huston understood immediately what had happened when he heard the details. The occurrence of such a low-probability event at this time was undoubtedly intentional, and he could only think of Bert as the likely culprit.
