Chapter 791 Don’t Pretend to Be Good When You’re Getting a Bargain
Evelyn cleaned the last bowl and put it in the drying machine. “Where are you going?”
“School.” He took another sip of water, put his thin lips in the mouth of the bottle, and raised his head. His Adam’s apple bobbed a few times. Just drinking some water was damn charming. “We should find a kindergarten for Lucas.”
Since Lucas returned home, he had been at home most of the time. Now that their relationship was on the better side, there was no reason for him to stay idle.
It wasn’t that she hadn’t thought about it, but…
“Isn’t it too fast?”
Too fast?
He casually placed the water on the counter and said, “It’s unnecessary for children to play every day when they don’t go to kindergarten. Will it be fast?”
This was just an excuse to make her feel uneasy.
She bit her lip. In fact, she didn’t want to fool him, but she really
wasn’t prepared. She felt like she was being pushed forward.
Seeing that she didn’t speak, he was about to ease his mood, but he didn’t give her time to think. “I have an appointment with the director in the afternoon. Come with me to have a look. We’ll talk about it when you come back.”
She looked at the reflection in the window. In fact, after last night, he had already revealed all his secrets. After five years, the anger in her heart had actually turned into resentment. Even if he sincerely apologized, she would not refuse to admit it.
Looking at the stiff man standing in front of her, who was obviously angry, she pursed her lips, took a step forward, and took the initiative to show her goodwill. “Can you not think so badly of me? I just have a lot of things to consider, and I’m not targeting you.”
“Then who are you targeting?” He didn’t look like a boss at all, childish and awkward.
Looking at him, Evelyn’s heart softened, she said, “I didn’t target anyone. Just now, I mentioned Bert just didn’t want the conflict to worsen. He is in a bad mood now. I am indeed worried, but it is not a woman’s concern for a man. For me, he is also my family. I don’t force you to understand. I just don’t want you to misunderstand.”
“And,” she paused and said, “I’m not perfunctory about Lucas’s matter. If you want to go, go. I just think you should discuss it with me in advance so that I can be mentally prepared.”
Her attitude softened, and no matter how angry Huston was, she calmed down. He had no resistance to her, so he gave her a little leeway, but he still had to pretend. “I wanted to discuss it with you. I didn’t have time last night. I just got angered by Bert.”
She sighed helplessly. “Why are you angry with him?”
“You asked about him as soon as we met. Of course I’m angry.” After that, he took a step forward and forced her to lean against the cabinet behind him. He put his hands on both sides of her waist and said, “You’re my woman.”
“Yes, yes, yes.” She wanted to calm him down as soon as possible, but she couldn’t stand his childish look.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she admitted it, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked, “You admit it?”
Only then did she come to her senses. Blushing, she pushed him away. “Don’t pretend to be a good boy.”
“Just admit it.”
“Huston!” She raised her eyes and glared at him. “Are you done yet!”
Seeing that she was really embarrassed and annoyed, he stopped pushing his luck. He lowered his head and kissed her hard on the lips before retreating. “Just this time. If I find out that you want another man next time, I’ll make you suffer!” NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
After that, he deliberately glanced at her body, which made her scared. She muttered in a low voice, “Don’t find excuses for beast…”
He didn’t hear her clearly, but he knew that it wasn’t anything good. He leaned over and asked, “What did you say?”
She shook her head. “Nothing.”
Looking at her standing in front of him obediently, this scene had happened countless times five years ago, but now he rarely saw her being so obedient.
