Finding Love in the Boss’s Embrace After Divorce -
Chapter 405
Chapter 405 Future Father-in-Law's Call
If it weren't for the fact that Huston insisted on her getting
these back, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to ask him
for anything.
Feeling frustrated and misunderstood by her own parents, she held her anger inside. Without thinking, she blurted out, "Fine,
fine! If you don't want these, the day he comes knocking at the
door with those gifts himself, you better accept them!"
Her words were forceful, and as soon as she finished
speaking, everyone froze in surprise. They exchanged bewildered looks, especially Evelyn, who immediately regretted what she had said. Was she going crazy?
Just as she was about to explain and remedy the situation,
she heard Lucy ask in disbelief, "You and Huston have already developed to this point?"
It was too late. No matter what she said, it was all in vain.
Evelyn felt like she was being roasted over a fire, and her
mouth was swollen. "No, no, Mom, I didn't mean that. I..."
"What do you mean?" Ben's tone finally softened, and he was
no longer as agitated as before. "Tell me honestly, do you two have any plans?"
The eyes of the two of them fell on Evelyn's face simultaneously. They had lived together for so many years that they could sense everything with just a glance and a
tone.
Evelyn wanted to hide it, but her expression had already revealed everything. She lowered her head and sighed, and
then she nodded. "Yes..."
This time, Lucy and Ben were even more speechless. They never expected their daughter's relationship to progress so quickly. Looking at the pile of gifts on the floor, totaling almost six figures, they realized that these were not something an ordinary person could afford to give.
Well...
Lucy's gaze swept between Evelyn and Ben, trying to ease the tension. She said, "Your father and I were just worried about
you, not intentionally trying to make things difficult for you. If you had told us earlier, it would have been better. Bringing back so many valuable items suddenly made us uneasy."
"I told you earlier, but you didn't listen." Evelyn retorted in a
low voice. "I'm a grown-up now. I know what I'm doing. Don't
worry about me. I'm not the kind of person who takes
"No matter how old you are, you're still a child in front of your father and me." Lucy patted her stiff shoulder. "All right, let's go inside and rest for a while. I'll heat up the food for you later. You can come out and eat."
"No!" Ben suddenly called out to them.
Evelyn was startled and patted her chest. "What's wrong, Dad?"
"He sent so many things. Since we have accepted them, we have to thank him in person." Ben was a typical actionist. He immediately asked Evelyn to call Huston. "Call him, and I'll tell
him."
"What?" Evelyn was so shocked that her eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets. "Dad, are you kidding?"
She looked at Ben expectantly, hoping he would take back what he had just said in the next second. However, this fantasy was quickly shattered. Ben waved his hand impatiently and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Hurry up and call
him!"
On the other end, Huston was driving to the Royal Villa at 120
miles per hour, different from the snail-like speed when he
came here. The speed was so fast that he couldn't even see a
shadow of the scenery outside the window.
His phone suddenly vibrated as he was waiting for the traffic light at the intersection. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Evelyn.
He immediately thought of that beautiful face when he
saw the name. The coldness in his eyes melted. They just separated, but he couldn't wait to hear her voice.
