Chapter 655 Huston, What Are You Up to?
Following the source, they saw a man wearing a well-fitted suit, neatly combed hair, and a handsome face with well-defined features. His deep black eyes were fixed on her with a smile, “I had a meeting at noon, so I’m a little late.”
Evelyn, “…”
Grace, “…
The two of them exchanged puzzled glances. Who exactly invited him to have lunch together?
However, Evelyn quickly understood. He had once again come uninvited without any prior notice.
She immediately frowned, “I’m sorry, President Lloyd, I don’t remember making a lunch appointment with you today!”
Unexpectedly, he didn’t take it seriously at all. He unbuttoned his suit and pulled it back slightly, revealing a neatly pressed shirt underneath. Then, he bent down and pulled out the chair on her side, “It’s okay if you don’t remember. I remember, and that’s enough!”
Evelyn was rendered speechless. Who gave him the audacity? How come she didn’t remember him being such an eager person? Shouldn’t he be aloof and keep people at a distance?
Grace was also shocked by this sudden turn of events. He had never seen Huston act so abnormally. Nevertheless, since he was already here, they couldn’t just drive him away. They had to ask the waiter to add another set of tableware.
Once the man sat down, his first words were directed at Lucas, “How about it? Do you like the dishes?”
Perhaps it was because he had just finished a meeting, his tone still carried a hint of indifference. As soon as he said that, he seemed to realize it himself. His eyebrows, filled with a sense of heroism,
furrowed slightly, and he forced out a dry chuckle, “Heh.”
“…” Grace shivered. It was too cold, way too cold.
However, Lucas didn’t feel that way. He felt that Mr. Lloyd cared about him a lot, asking about his well- being and showing genuine concern. With a big smile on his face, he exclaimed, “It’s delicious! I’ve never had such tasty food before!”
Not wanting to be disbelieved, he added, “Mom has made this soup for me before, but it doesn’t taste the same!”
Evelyn’s expression turned even worse. While she knew she couldn’t get upset with her child, it didn’t sit well with her to hear him praising Huston in front of her. “If you don’t like it, Mom won’t make it for you anymore.”
“Can I eat the dishes here all the time?”
“No.”
Lucas’s hopeful expression dimmed. He looked at the dishes on the table with some pity. Huston smirked, rolled up his sleeves, and served the child a bowl of soup. “It’s okay. I’ll bring you here when I have time in the future.”
Evelyn was tortured by his scheming look and couldn’t stand it anymore. She leaned in and whispered in his ear, “Huston, what are you up to?”
“Something interesting,” the man replied through gritted teeth. “Why didn’t you answer my phone call this morning?”
The first thing he did when he woke up early in the morning was to call her, intending to inquire about her and the child’s plans for the day. However, no matter how many times he dialed her number, he couldn’t reach her. When he tried again, the call was simply disconnected.
On her first day back in the country, she played hide-and-seek with him and refused to answer his calls. Very well.
As a result, he rescheduled his lunch meeting half an hour earlier and finished it as quickly as possible, driving straight here.
Since she didn’t answer his calls, he came directly.
“You were tracking me?” What truly angered Evelyn was this realization. The thought of someone constantly watching her from behind sent shivers down her spine.
Huston laughed coldly. “Is what you’ve done not worth me tacking?” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
There was no need for unnecessary talk, and Evelyn’s face turned cold. She indeed didn’t answer the phone. She had a lot to do on her first day back. She needed to go home in the evening and had no time to argue with him. Yet, here he was, blocking her path.
