Chapter 664 Like A Clown
Sir Lloyd thought of Evelyn, the woman who had disappeared for five years as if she had never existed. He had a vague sense of unease and a bad premonition. “Where do you get the idea that I will have a great-grandchild?”
“It’s Evelyn’s child,” Huston replied. As he thought of Evelyn’s tender face, a gentle smile appeared on his lips-the only time he had smiled since entering the room. “If this child is not your great-grandchild, then what else could it be?”
“…” Sir Lloyd fell completely silent, not knowing what to say.
Evelyn had returned, and she had a child.
The information was overwhelming and hard to process.
Cathy couldn’t stay silent any longer. “Huston, please don’t blame your mother for prying, but considering she’s been absent for five years, how can you be sure that child is yours?”
After Cathy’s question, Sir Lloyd regained his composure and agreed, “Yes, how can you be so sure? Don’t tell me that love has clouded your judgment!”
“That child is over four years old, the timing matches, and the
resemblance is uncanny,
If I don’t recognize him, I doubt anyone else would dare,” Huston said, showing no concern. “If you don’t trust me, we
can arrange a paternity test. However, be aware that it may damage your relationship with your great- grandchild. Don’t blame me for not warning you.”
These thoughts had been on Huston’s mind throughout the journey. Over the past five years, Sir Lloyd had tried to introduce numerous potential marriage partners to him, both openly and discreetly, but he had rejected them all without giving any face. Now that Evelyn had finally returned, he didn’t need any excuses. The mere presence of the child would capture Sir Lloyd’s heart.
Clearly, Huston understood the personalities of the elderly couple. If he didn’t have absolute certainty, he wouldn’t have mentioned these things directly to them.
What would they do if this Evelyn truly returned with Evelyn’s
child?
Sir Lloyd experienced a range of emotions, a sense of worry, but he couldn’t deny that when the words “great-grandchild”
crossed his mind, he also felt a sense of surprise.
Everyone in the room had complex emotions, a mix of joy and apprehension. Only Luna’s feelings were openly exposed, feeling deeply uncomfortable. Huston sat beside her, and she

unbelievable.
She couldn’t accept it. This man actually had a child, and the
child was already over four years old.
Four years ago, she didn’t even know him. During that time, he already had a child.
Luna suddenly felt like a clown, knowing nothing, foolishly believing she was knowledgeable while doing all those things. She couldn’t even imagine what this man would think of her
when she took the initiative.
He must find it ridiculous and pitiful.
The food that had seemed delicious moments ago now felt
hard to swallow. Luna felt extremely uncomfortable and restless. For the rest of the meal, she didn’t say a word, and
no one initiated a conversation with her. Perhaps they all felt
awkward.
She realized that what she had thought was integration into the Lloyd family was just an illusion. There were some things she would never know and never be able to know.
Finally enduring the meal, Luna suggested leaving first. Normally, Sir Lloyd would insist on her staying a little longer, but this time he didn’t say anything. He just had the driver
Madam Lloyd saw her off at the door but didn’t hold her hand this time. Before she got into the car, she whispered, “With tonight’s incident, I know you must feel embarrassed. I’ll make it up to you another day.”
Hearing such words from an elder who was much older, Luna couldn’t vent her anger even if she felt it. She endured it and replied, “It’s fine, you can go back first.”
After saying that, she appeared somewhat resigned, lowering her head slightly. “Actually, I quite like Huston. Even if he is willing to be with me and there really is a child, I wouldn’t mind. In today’s society, a successful man like him, even if he doesn’t take any initiative, there will always be people scheming to win him over. I know and understand that.”
With a few words, she subtly categorized Evelyn among those who scheme and plot. It seemed casual, but it was a subtle reminder that Evelyn deliberately left behind a child for a purpose.
