Chapter 223 I Want to Go Out and Relax
Evelyn almost didn’t sleep all night. She had been crying all day. At the end of her crying, her eyes were painful, but she still couldn’t stop crying. She didn’t want to continue crying, but the whole person fell into sadness and couldn’t get rid of it.
The next day, when she got up, the pillow under her had not dried yet. She walked into the bathroom and looked at her pale face in the mirror. The corners of her mouth twitched weakly.
After waiting all night, there was still no message from him.
Disappointment, despair, and no hope.
That’s it.
The thought flashed through Evelyn’s mind, and her eyes turned red again. She turned on the tap in advance, and the sound of running water rang in her ears. She took a handful and threw it on her face, but she couldn’t distinguish between tears and water.
She didn’t go to work, didn’t want to go, and didn’t want to face anything related to Huston. She was afraid that she would burst into tears if she had any emotional fluctuations.
She didn’t want others to see her as such a coward, and she couldn’t face those sweet places she spent with him.
Ring! Ring!
Suddenly, her phone rang. She deliberately raised her voice to the maximum for fear of missing any call. Evelyn quickly picked it up and saw the caller ID on the screen, but it was not the person she hoped for the most in her heart.
After a pause, the phone was connected, and the clear and impatient voice of Grace came. “I can’t stand it. I really can’t stand it anymore. My father was crazy again today. He keeps annoying me!”
Evelyn was uneasy and emotionless. “What’s wrong?”
“It’s still about work. He always wants to manipulate me. I’m a human being, not a tool. Can’t I decide what I want to do when I’m 24?!” Grace was so annoyed that she wanted to shout out loud. “If I’m annoyed, I’ll go on vacation. No one can find me. Let them worry!”

Evelyn’s eyelashes trembled. “Where do you want to go?”
“I haven’t decided yet, Harbor City? That’s an island. I’ve always wanted to go there, but I didn’t have a chance.”
“Let’s go together.”
“Well, it’s mainly about… Hey, wait, wait, what did you say? Together? Are you going with me?” Only then did Grace notice that there was something wrong with Evelyn’s mood. “Did something happen to you?”
The corners of Evelyn’s mouth twitched, but she held back in the end. “Nothing. I just want to rest for a while.”
“You ran out on your own. Is President Lloyd willing to do that?” Grace said quickly. After saying that, she regretted it. It was obvious that there was something wrong between the two of them. She quickly changed the topic. “Why don’t you come to me and talk to me face to face?”
“Okay, I’ll pack up now.”
When Grace heard that she was going to pack her luggage, she opened his mouth and closed it again. She only said, “Then be careful on the way.” NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
“OK”
At nine o’clock in the morning, Evelyn tidied up her suitcase, went back to the living room, and looked at her mobile phone on the table. It was still empty. There was no text message or call.
She put down her phone numbly, turned around, and walked to the door with her luggage. Step by step, she closed the door and left the room quiet.
Forty minutes later, the taxi stopped in front of the Glenn family’s villa. Although it was not as luxurious as Royal Villa, it was still
luxurious.
Evelyn pressed the doorbell and soon the door opened.
As soon as she walked into the living room, she was bumped into by Grace. The woman hugged her and said, “You’re coming. I’m so depressed at home!”
It was Monday, and the Glenn family was very quiet. There was only one person Grace. Evelyn relaxed a lot. There had been too much news recently, and she was afraid that it would be embarrassing to see Grace’s parents.
“You came with your suitcase?” Grace asked the servant at home to pull her suitcase in. “What’s wrong? Did you quarrel with President Lloyd?”
“Well, it doesn’t matter. I just want to go out and relax.” Evelyn didn’t tell her, not because she didn’t want to, but because she didn’t know how to say it.
Such a thing seemed to be unacceptable to her.
