Chapter 495 Will She Listen To Me If I Coax Her?

• After five years, to her surprise, he still had her phone number. At that moment, Evelyn felt a bit uneasy, stumbling over her words as she spoke, “Yes, it’s me.” She had expected Kevin to be curious about why she suddenly contacted him, but instead, his voice came through, warm and calm, “How have you been all these years?” Thinking of Kevin, his voice so gentle and soothing, she always felt a sense of comfort in his presence. He was someone she could rely on, even just through his voice and appearance. Being with him was like basking in a warm spring breeze, never feeling any pressure.

Feeling a tinge of guilt for reaching out to him only when she needed something, Evelyn replied, “I’ve been doing well, and you?” “It’s about the same,” After that, he smiled, “Huston actually mentioned your situation to me before.” “Yes?” The conversation came to an abrupt silence. Evelyn tightened her grip on her phone, her five fingers clenched. The words she wanted to say were already on the tip of her tongue, but she felt difficult to articulate. Although it wasn’t a major issue, it had been so long since they last contacted each other that they felt somewhat estranged.
• Sensing her hesitation, Kevin promptly broke the silence and resolved the awkwardness, “You called me to ask about Huston, right?” She breathed a sigh of relief and was very touched that he could take the initiative to speak, “Yeah.” “Go ahead. As long as it’s something I can do, just tell me.” With his words reaching this level of sincerity, Evelyn didn’t hold back either. Lingering too much would seem insincere. Worried that it might be difficult to explain over the phone, she decided to meet him in person. Kevin readily agreed, and they arranged to meet at the cafe of a five-star hotel about three to four kilometers from her apartment. After ending the call with Evelyn, Kevin walked out, holding his car keys, and dialed Huston’s number.
