Huston sighed helplessly. “I understand that you have traditional values and can’t accept a woman who has been divorced, but Evelyn is not the kind of person you imagine. She is pure and kind, without those bad habits, and she doesn’t
demean herself or act frivolously…”
“All right, all right. You’re just blinded by love, seeing everything good in her,” Sir Lloyd waved his hand to interrupt.
Shaking his head, Huston didn’t pursue the conversation.
further. After all, it had been a long time since they last met,
and he didn’t want to burden them with heavy emotions.
Besides, when it came to Evelyn, he was no longer the kind of person who would change his attitude just because someone tried to persuade him.
Half an hour later, Evelyn brought the ingredients into the
house. She bought carrots, mutton, and other fresh fruits
and vegetables. Huston wanted to help but was stopped by
her. “Don’t help me carry them. Your grandparents will be
unhappy if they see it.”
She went all the way into the kitchen and put it on the clean kitchen counter. Madam Lloyd had just started to make dumplings. She pointed to the refrigerator and said, “No
pepper is at home. Did you buy it?”
Pepper?
Evelyn searched her brain but didn’t remember asking her to buy pepper powder just now.
Seeing that she couldn’t remember, Madam Lloyd had already guessed the result. “You didn’t buy it?”
“I thought we don’t need it, so I didn’t buy it…” After saying that, she hurriedly said, “I’ll go to buy it now. Do you need anything else? I’ll buy it together.”
“Just buy this. We’ll talk about the rest later.”
Besides…
Evelyn had no choice but to turn back. As soon as she walked out of the villa, she looked at the car with lights still on in the distance. She walked over weakly and told the driver, “Go to the supermarket again.”
The driver, Renata, was puzzled. “Ms. Shelton, should we go there again?”
It had been less than ten minutes since they got out of the car.
She nodded. “Yes.”
right.
The car started, and as Evelyn looked at the scenery outside the window, she felt a bit aggrieved. In fact, Madam Lloyd didn’t forget to ask her to buy things; it was deliberate to make her go again and
assert her authority.
If it weren’t for the fact that Huston had rushed home just now, she wouldn’t have known how badly she would have been blamed. Now that he was home, they didn’t go too far.
Evelyn leaned her head against the car window, feeling very tired. Her shoulders were as heavy as a shot put. In the face of the criticism of her elders, she had no choice but to do her best. It was difficult to make her past, and the negative rumors surrounding her disappear.
Thinking about it, it could be understood. If she were in the
same situation, perhaps she wouldn’t allow Huston to be involved with a woman with such a bad reputation. But the more she thought about it, the more exhausted she felt.
She went back and forth just for a bag of pepper. When she got home, the stuffing of dumplings had been prepared.
When Madam Lloyd saw her coming back, she said, “Why
are you back so late? I’ve already prepared everything. Put it
aside first.”
Holding the pepper in her hand, Evelyn stood still.
Madam Lloyd stopped what she was doing and turned to look. at her. “What’s wrong?”
“I’m fine.” Evelyn took a deep breath and put the things on the cabinet. “I’ll help you make them.””
It seemed that Madam Lloyd didn’t expect her to be so accommodating. She intentionally glanced at Evelyn, hoping to find those negative emotions on her face, but there was hardly anything visible apart
from a slight melancholy.
They were busy in the kitchen, with Evelyn working at a not-so-fast pace in making dumplings, while Madam Lloyd, having years of experience, was remarkably quick in making them. Evelyn didn’t dare to take a moment’s break, continuing until all the dumplings were wrapped, and her right arm felt numb and sore.
