Chapter 656 Why Bother Others?
Chapter 656 Why Bother Others?
He was just like that, domineering and unreasonable, exactly the same as five years ago, without any changes!
During the remaining time, the three adults ate with great discomfort, but Lucas enjoyed it immensely. At times, Grace would pick a dish for the child, and at other times, Huston. would pick out a piece of fish and put it in the bowl, all the while savoring the delicious food.
Evelyn couldn’t eat much and sat there with a tense expression on her face.
Finally, when it was time to pay, the bill came out to less than 100 dollars. Evelyn was used to cash payments abroad and was about to take out her wallet, but Huston had already handed his phone over.
With a “beep,” the money had already been transferred to the
restaurant’s account.
“No need for you…”
“I treated the child to the meal.” Anticipating what she wanted
to say, the man interrupted directly.
‘s throat, unable to come
out or go down. She could only swallow her frustration. She realized that once they returned to the country, he had changed completely. He displayed an air of arrogance and dominance, clearly intending to assert his dominance over her!
“Where were you going later?” Unlike her irritability, the man seemed at ease. “I’ll drive you.”
“No need, Grace was coming by car.”
“Why bother others?” His brows furrowed slightly as if she were being unreasonable.
Evelyn initially didn’t want to go with him, but seeing Grace caught in the middle, she didn’t want to put her in an awkward position. “Grace, you go back, I’ll make a trip to Hub Apartment in the afternoon. Contact me if anything.”
“Should I go back first?”
Huston took over the conversation and surprisingly expressed his gratitude, “Thank you for your trouble!”
After so many years, Grace had never heard Huston say such. words. At that moment, she couldn’t help but feel… unsettled. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Yer unsettled. She couldn’t adapt to Huston’s lowly demeanor
Truly too eerie.
Grace went downstairs to the underground parking lot to fetch the car, leaving the three of them standing in front of the dining room, looking at each other in silence.
Evelyn had initially intended to buy something for her family, but upon careful consideration, she realized there was nothing she really needed to buy. Having been away for five years, she had no idea what the house looked like anymore.
Huston could sense her sudden mood drop and didn’t want her to get caught up in such emotions. He spoke up, “Let’s go.”
They took the elevator to the underground parking lot. Evelyn followed him towards the car, and to her surprise, he was driving the same Bentley Bentayga from five years ago.
Time seemed to reverse, memories blending with the sight before her eyes. Evelyn was momentarily lost in thought. This car had been there since they first met, and it felt like a symbol of their past memories.
Especially during those early days when they were just getting to know each other, unfamiliar and filled with doubts and subtle tests. Every interaction had left a deep impression on both of them, memories that Evelyn couldn’t forget.
Was he… doing this on purpose?
Huston noticed her brief hesitation as she got into the car. He couldn’t deny that he had done it intentionally, driving this
car and wanting to see her reaction. But he also genuinely wanted to relive those moments from five years ago.
Evelyn had to suppress the emotions welling up inside her. She had to be rational, she had to stay calm. She had returned for the sake of Lucas, not to rekindle their relationship. They couldn’t go back to how things were.
Just as before, Huston bent down to lift Lucas, carrying him. into the car with his strong, solid arms, providing the child with a sense of security.
Evelyn remained seated in the passenger seat, this time without any retorts toward Huston. Instead, she obediently went to the front and opened the door.
A slight raise of Huston’s eyebrow hid a smile in the depths of his eyes.
She had learned his lesson.
