Chapter 206 Can I Stay by Your Side
“So? Do you want to leave me, or do you want to stay by my side, hmm?” Huston’s gaze was filled with her frail appearance. When he asked this question, he was still as calm as ever, but only he knew that the temperature in his body was burning even hotter because of this sentence.
Evelyn’s heart was hanging in suspense, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind and finally appeared. In the end, she threw the question back to him. “Can I stay by your side?”
Huston felt as if his heart had been gripped by something, causing him to furrow his brows in pain. The way she had carefully asked and the way she had deliberately concealed her feelings made him feel heartbroken.
He did not answer, but the color of his pupils was very deep, and his straight body leaned down slightly.
At this moment, he gave her a passionate kiss. It was not enough to express.
Evelyn melted in this kiss, and the armor that imprisoned her
disappeared. She knew how much she yearned for this man.
Did she want to stay with him?
She really… stayed with him.
When Huston saw that her palm-sized face had finally turned red, he felt much better. “No matter if you want to stay by my
side or not, I won’t let you go.”
“But your family…”
“They don’t know you, nor do they know me. No one can decide my affairs.” NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
How could Evelyn not know that he had the ability and position to choose the life he wanted? But after all, that was his relative, and she didn’t want Huston to break up with his family because of her.
As if he could read her mind, the man lifted her chin and looked straight into her eyes. “Evelyn, trust me. Leave everything to me. You just need to stay by my side, okay?”
Evelyn looked into his eyes and felt conflicted. “It’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s just that I don’t trust myself.”
“Jerry can only do this much at most. You don’t have to worry too much.” Huston didn’t want to tell her this, but when he saw
that she was flustered, he said, “Those photos are not enough to illustrate anything. It’ll be fine when the old man thinks it through. They need time.”
“Can they figure it out? Even I…”
“Yes.” Huston didn’t give her a chance to doubt herself and pulled her into his embrace. “I’m here.”
After that, he let go of Evelyn, turned around, and went downstairs under her puzzled gaze. When he came back, he had a glass of hot milk in his hand. “Drink it. The milk will calm you down.”
Evelyn took it. Although he was still in a night robe with his neckline open, when Evelyn touched the burning skin on his chest, she remembered that he had a fever.
She didn’t have time to think about it. She immediately pushed him into the room and measured his temperature with a thermometer. It was 38.2 degrees Celsius. Fortunately, he didn’t have a fever again.
Evelyn took the towel and was about to twist another piece for him. The man wrapped his palm around her tender little hand and sat by the bed, pulling her between his legs. Her soft hair was a bit messy, lying on his forehead, “Stay here with me, okay?”
Without any reaction, Evelyn just looked at him. Huston lightly
sighed and directly carried her to the bed. Wrapped in the blanket, his nose was filled with the fragrance of her body. In
an instant, his mind relaxed a lot.
Evelyn still wanted to say something. “Huston…”
“Hush, let me sleep for a while. Let’s talk about it when I wake up.” As he spoke, he kissed her and immediately closed his eyes, as if he was really tired.
The bedroom was quiet. Evelyn couldn’t bear to disturb him. Looking at his handsome sleeping face, she had all kinds of thoughts in her mind. Thinking of this, she was tired and fell asleep in a daze.
The second after she fell asleep, Huston, who was lying beside her, heard the woman’s steady breathing and immediately opened his eyes.
There was not a trace of gentleness in his deep eyes. It was full of repressed but still surging coldness and horror.
He gently pulled his arm away from her neck. Afraid of waking her up, he pushed the door open and left before changing his clothes.
