Chapter 257 He Hoped He Could Achieve Both Things This Time
She lowered her gaze and looked at the recent news in her hands. The image displayed Huston and Evelyn, with her being pushed to the ground while he stood in a protective. stance. The caption confirmed Evelyn’s identity as his lover.
Mia lost control as she looked at it. Before she broke down, she forced herself to look away. “That’s great. I will cooperate with George and return home as soon as possible to be with
you…”
Hearing this, Huston didn’t say anything and just changed the topic. “I’m still arranging accommodation for you to return to the country. You focus on recovering and don’t worry about anything else.”
He said this out of a little selfishness. He was afraid that Mia
would discover Evelyn’s existence, so he hoped she would listen to his arrangements and not pay attention to anything
else.
However, Mia misunderstood what he meant when she heard
this and felt Huston was concerned about her. Her tone became coquettish as she said, “Huston, thank you. If my
parents
happy to see this scene.”
When Mia’s parents were mentioned, Huston felt his shoulders grow heavier. He replied indifferently, “Yes.”
He glanced at the watch on the wall, pinched the spot between his eyebrows, and made an excuse. “I still have a meeting. Let’s talk about it later.”
Mia lowered her eyes, disappointment growing in her eyes. She couldn’t help but feel that the current Huston had changed a lot. When he called her, he said nothing beyond the necessary business and immediately wanted to hang up. It seemed like calling her was just a reluctant obligation.
Even though she blamed him in her heart, Mia did not show it on her face. She said considerately, “It doesn’t matter. You go and deal with your business first. I’m fine. Just take care of yourself.”
“You too. I’m hanging up.”
After hanging up the phone, Huston threw it on the table. With a clang, the cup trembled. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
He leaned his head against the back of the sofa behind him and rested for a moment. Then, he dialed his subordinate’s number. “Send someone to clean up the house in the north of
the city tomorrow.
“Yes, Mr. Lloyd.” The man’s voice was a little hoarse but very professional. “Do you need any other equipment?”
“No. I’ll arrange everything else.”
“Got it.”
Everything was arranged. Huston sat on the sofa, feeling like his body weighed a thousand pounds. Mia’s return was not a small matter, and it felt like a heavy burden pressing on his chest, making it
difficult for him to catch his breath.
The things he feared most for Evelyn to discover were gradually creeping into his life. But what was most despairing was not those things; it was the fact that he could only watch helplessly and couldn’t do anything to stop them.
If it were anyone else, he would not have compromised. However, this person was the daughter of his savior, Mia.
He had many reasons to refuse but couldn’t say it out loud.
He owed it to the Klein family and Mia. It was a responsibility
that he had to bear for the rest of his life.
Thinking of this, Huston had a faint headache. In his heart, he was suffering in both repaying the kindness and hiding from
Evelyn. He hoped that he could achieve both things this time.
