Chapter 308 How Long Are You Going to Hide It From Me?
Huston only said simple words, “Tell her the truth.”
Mia didn’t expect she would become the key point instantly. She wished she could tell the connections between her and Huston, how they had a deep bond since childhood, and how no one could separate them.
But now that she saw how nervous and concerned Huston was, she knew very well that if she said something she shouldn’t, her relationship with Huston would end.
Mia took a deep breath, withdrew her gaze, and looked straight at Evelyn. After a few seconds, she said softly, “Although we are not blood-related, Huston is like my brother. There is no other relationship between us. Don’t be overly suspicious.”
Upon first hearing this statement, it may sound reasonable, but why she said she was overly suspicious? Even if she misunderstood, it was normal. Where did the notion of being overly suspicious come from?
“A non-blood-related brother?” Evelyn sneered. “What kind of drama are you two playing?” This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Huston pursed his lips. “Her parents are my benefactors.”
swollen from crying but unable to hide the curiosity in her gaze. “Then why did you keep it a secret from me?”
Even though Huston hadn’t done anything with Mia, under Evelyn’s gaze, Huston’s heart continued to feel uneasy. “Mia is still recovering from her illness, and I wanted to wait until she was better before telling you.”
“When will she be better?” Evelyn felt as if she were submerged in a sealed container, the suffocating sense of urgency making it difficult for her to breathe. “If I hadn’t followed you here today, how long would you keep it from me? Do you feel guilty about seeing me being kept in the dark like a fool?”
After that, without waiting for his reply, Evelyn continued, “Huston, have I never known you before?”
This was not the man she knew. In Evelyn’s eyes, he was a person who disdained to lie. Every word of his carried weight. He would never say what he could not do. But today, this trusted man had shown her the scene before her eyes.
Evelyn suddenly thought about those nights when he left late and occasionally didn’t return until morning. What emotions did he have when he lied to her and navigated between two
women?
It was so scary. Her trust in him had been completely retracted, and all her knowledge of him had collapsed. This person was not the Huston she thought she knew.
Evelyn’s eyes were filled with despair, causing Huston to feel a sense of fear as if he was about to lose her. “Evelyn, I was just worried about her condition, so I came to see her. Other than that, I didn’t do anything else. I…”
“What else do you want? Haven’t you lied enough to me?”
In the face of her interrogation, Huston was speechless. All his worries had come true. He had indeed deceived her, regardless of his intentions. He had ultimately betrayed her trust.
“I’m sorry, Evelyn, I’m sorry…” He apologized in such a low
voice.
Mia had never seen Huston like this before. He was usually so proud and stern, always surrounded by countless people wherever he stood. When did he ever become so subservient to a
woman?
This man’s innate pride had never allowed him to bow down to anyone. And yet, now he was humbling himself to such an extent for the sake of Evelyn.
