Chapter 273 What Are You Doing Here?
The driver glanced at the mirror and saw she didn’t look well. He turned on the heating and said considerately, “Ms. Shelton, don’t worry. It’s very close to the Hub Apartment from here. It’ll take about 15 minutes to get there.”
Evelyn’s mind was in a mess. She let out a long sigh. “Thank you. Please hurry up.”
During the morning rush hour, the driver squeezed through the bus lane and arrived at Hub Apartment. The car stopped for only three to four minutes. Carrying her bag, Evelyn got off the car and hurriedly ran to the entrance of her building.
She was wearing high heels today. She walked up two steps at a time from the first to the fourth floor and accidentally sprained her ankle in the middle. She gasped in pain but did not have time to pay attention to it.
“Bang!”
She pressed the doorbell, knocked on the plank, and said anxiously, “Mom, open the door for me.”
it off, she opened the door. “Don’t worry. Your father and I are
fine.”
She lowered her voice and nagged. Seeing her expression, Evelyn heaved a sigh of relief and turned to look into the
room.
Nora and Eddy were sitting on the sofa in the living room, while Ben was sitting on the chair in the dining room. There was no communication among them. Although their
relationship had ended, Lucy still poured them a cup of tea.
Looking at the steam from the teacup, Evelyn felt stuffy in
her chest. When she saw these two faces again, she still
couldn’t get rid of them. She only had heavy and unbearable
memories.
Seeing her come in, Ben got up and called her, “You’re back.”
“Dad,” Evelyn called out to him and turned to look at the two
people who had stood up from the sofa. Her tone was stiff as
she asked, “What are you doing here?”
Eddy’s expression froze. Nora forced a smile and said familiarly, “We came here today to talk to you about
something.”
Evelyn nodded and didn’t rush to speak. Instead, she said to
Lucy and Ben, “Mom, Dad, we have something to discuss can go back to the bedroom first.”
“Well…” Lucy was worried about her being alone. Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Evelyn,
“Mom, this is our home. Don’t worry. I’ll call you when we’re
done.”
Lucy still wanted to say something, but Ben raised his hand to stop her. “Okay, you talk. I’ll go in with your mother first.”
They walked into the living room one after the other. Lucy looked back repeatedly at every step worriedly. After closing the bedroom door, Evelyn sat down on the sofa opposite Eddy.
She crossed her legs and said confidently, “What do you want
to discuss? Tell me now.”
Eddy looked at Evelyn sitting in front of him. He hadn’t seen. her for a long time but didn’t dare to recognize her. When did she dare to talk to them in such a posture and tone? Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Nora was also surprised. She didn’t know if it was because
Evelyn had been with Huston for a long time; her aura was
somewhat similar to that of that man.
“Here’s the thing, our visit today is not for any other purpose.
The court has finalized the divorce between you and Jerry,
and all the necessary legal procedures have been carried out. I hope you can persuade Mr. Lloyd.” Eddy’s voice carried a strong sense of helplessness, and his once lively demeanor seemed to have aged significantly.
Indeed, Jerry had been going through a divorce and legal battles during this period. He must have been under a lot of
stress.
But what did he say? He wanted her to persuade Huston.
Evelyn frowned. “What do you mean, Mr. Graves?”
She called him Mr. Graves. The boundary was very clear.
“You and I know what that means.” After saying that, Eddy
realized that his tone was not good, and he quickly said, “Since you and Jerry have divorced, there is no need to ask Mr. Lloyd to target InBev Technology anymore. It is my life’s work.
No matter how many grievances between us, I hope you can show mercy and not hurt it.”
