Chapter 212 Too Noble Will Make You Foolish
After taking intravenous injections, Huston’s temperature dropped. The heaviness on his body was greatly alleviated and his spirit was also much better. However, after the high fever, he was still a little dull.
After lying down for a long time, her head felt a little heavy. After pulling out the needle, he put on his clothes and went
downstairs.
Knowing that he was about to get up, Evelyn heated the porridge and served it to him on the dining table. “Eat something.”
The man stood still in the living room, holding the back of the chair with one hand and looking at her seriously.
His gaze was so focused that Evelyn thought there was something on her face. She raised her hand and touched it. “Is there something on my face?”
The man shook his head. “No.”
Evelyn’s face was a bit hot. “Then what are you looking at?”
“I want to see.”
Want to see my face?
Evelyn frowned at first, then suddenly laughed. She took two steps forward and looked up at him. “What kind of answer is
that?”
Huston pulled her into his embrace. His tall and strong body could almost completely block her. Even if she stood on tiptoe, it would only reach his shoulder.
Evelyn hugged him back, patted him twice, and asked comfortingly, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing.” Huston tilted his head slightly to talk to her. “I’m just very happy to think that you’ve finished your lawsuit with Jerry.”
Evelyn said with a smile, “I’m also very happy.”
“No.” The man let go of her and took a small step back so that she could see his face. “What makes me happy is that you finally belong to me completely, no matter from a personal standpoint or legal standpoint.”
Evelyn paused. A few seconds later, she understood what he meant. He said that he was very happy, not only because she
had won the lawsuit, but also because she had no connection
with any other men besides him.
How to sing that song?
Only by completely ending with him can we start anew.
Even though she and Jerry were only husband and wife in
name, when this relationship finally came to an end, it still
made her feel relaxed.
She finally had a chance to be with Huston openly.
“I’m sorry for causing you to be wronged before.” Evelyn blushed. Although she was teasing him, she was the
embarrassed one.
The man lowered his head. “Then you should compensate me.”
She had heard this word too many times, so much so that Evelyn instinctively flinched when she heard it. “You’re still sick. What if you infect me?”
Only then did a smile appear on the man’s face. “What are you thinking about? Your mind is full of dirty thoughts.”
“Whose mind…” Evelyn knew that she had been teased and glared at him angrily. “I think you’ve recovered from your iliness!”
Huston pulled her into his arms again and pulled her to the dining table. “Have some food with me.”
Evelyn had been hungry for a long time. She was not restrained and scooped up a bowl of porridge and sat next to him, chewing and swallowing slowly.
“By the way,” Evelyn remembered what Lawyer Warren had
asked her to do and turned to ask, “Will Jerry give me more
than half of his assets when the lawsuit is over?”
“More or less. It will be executed according to the judgment.”
Evelyn didn’t move her hand that was holding the porridge, deep in thought.
Huston glanced at her and asked, “What’s wrong? You don’t want it?”
He remembered that the first time they had met when she came to the law firm to sue for divorce, she said in a firm tone that she wanted Jerry to lose both his money and his family.
Evelyn sighed with emotion. “I just feel uncomfortable with the money.”
Hearing her reason, Huston curled her lips, but his tone was still preaching. “You’re indeed noble, but too noble will make you foolish.”
“I know.” Evelyn understood what he wanted to say, but she said, “I don’t want to be noble. I just feel a little guilty.”
Although the money was legally awarded to her, after all, it was not earned by herself. A short marriage of more than a year ended with Jerry’s infidelity. Even if she was a victim, she was still a person who had received a huge amount of money due to divorce. It would make people think too much if it was spread out.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
