Chapter 741 Overwhelming Jealousy
But he didn’t expose her lie directly. He responded in a low voice, “Alright, I understand. Take care of yourself.”
“You too.”
Bert would rather she tell him directly than be deceived by her. But what could he do? She chose this approach, and he had no standing to intervene forcefully. He could only silently support her decision.
“Don’t worry about Lucas. I’m handling it.”
“Okay,” After responding, Evelyn remembered what he had said earlier about targeting Huston’s company. She hesitated for a moment and added, “He seems to be more open now. Don’t be too aggressive for now.”
After saying this, she clearly felt the man beside her freeze for a
moment.
She didn’t want to say it, but she had no choice given what he had done before. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
Bert didn’t know how to describe his feelings after hearing that. It was a mix of various emotions, all tangled together. Finally, he simply said, “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
As long as she was happy, his time wouldn’t be wasted in vain.
Before hanging up the phone, Bert called out to her, “Evelyn.”
She paused, “What is it?”
“Remember, whenever it is, I’m on your side.” He spoke cach word with strength and conviction, creating a sense of reliability.
Evelyn was deeply moved and felt guilty for her deception and concealment. She lowered her voice and said, “Bert, take care of yourself too.”
In addition to her, he should think more about himself.
Unexpectedly, the man just chuckled. After two seconds of silence, he spat out a few words, “As long as you are happy, so am I.”
Evelyn had intended to comfort him further, but the intense gaze beside her made her hesitate with every word she spoke. In the end, she hastily ended the call.
She placed the phone on the bedside table and lifted her eyelids, meeting a pair of restrained yet fiery black eyes. His gaze bore into her, unwavering and unyielding, making her heart race.
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
Evelyn lowered her head and looked at the white bed sheet covering her body, using it as a means to avoid his piercing gaze.
At that moment, Huston admitted to himself that he was somewhat angry. No man would be pleased to hear his woman say such things. Bert’s intentions were evident to everyone, and
she must have been aware of them as well. Not only that, but she was also aware of the man’s involvement in his project company.
He wanted to vent his anger, but when he saw her pale face and evasive gaze, he couldn’t express anything other than bottling it up inside.
What could he do in the face of this woman?
Just as Evelyn was pondering whether she should say something to ease the awkwardness, the man who had been sitting beside her suddenly stood up and walked out of the emergency room.
As she watched his resolute figure walking away, Evelyn felt a sense of bewilderment. He just left like that!
The man’s silhouette quickly disappeared from her line of sight, leaving the entrance empty and deserted. Evelyn looked around her surroundings, feeling an indescribable emptiness in her heart.
When he was here, she longed for him to leave, but now that he had truly gone, she didn’t feel as happy as she had imagined.
