Chapter 119 | Allow You to Like Me
When Evelyn heard this, she almost choked on her own saliva.
She coughed so hard that her face turned red. “Cough, cough, cough, did you misunderstand something?”
It seemed that Huston had expected her to deny it, so he was not in a hurry to verify it. He asked her bit by bit and tortured her, “Don’t tell me it was an accident that you blocked my way
at the entrance of the bar?”
“Blocked his way at the entrance of the bar… Well, there’s no way to smooth things over. I indeed deliberately did that. But I can’t just admit it like this. If so, what will Huston think of me?” thought Evelyn.
She calmed herself down and said, “I came to you because I
had something to ask you.”
“What is it?” He kept asking.
She said casually, “It’s about work.”
However, after hearing this, Huston sneered. “I’m not your direct superior at work. You’re crossing the line.”
She was rendered speechless by his words. She always felt
through by his sharp eyes.
Just as she was thinking about how to deny it, she heard the man’s magnetic voice above her head. He said, “You don’t
have to deny that you like me in a hurry. If it were someone
else who drank this glass of wine for me, I would help her, but
not in such a way.”
It seemed that he was afraid that she wouldn’t understand, he
pointed at the clothes scattered on the ground that he hadn’t packed up yet.
What he meant was obvious.
She looked at him in confusion and asked, “What are you
trying to say?”
He replied, “I want to say that you can like me.”
Evelyn murmured in her heart, “Can I like him? So, does he
allow me to have feelings for him now?”
The moment she understood what he meant, the panic.
and nervousness in her heart turned into shock. The strong
heartbeat reminded her of how much she had reacted to his
words.
Did she like him?
She had never dared to consider it. Their relationship started as a business transaction rather than a product of love. As such, it was the most pragmatic and straightforward connection between them, thus she forbade herself from entertaining any romantic fantasies about the man in front of
her.
However, in times of crisis, he was always the first person to appear and save her from danger. Even someone with a hard heart couldn’t be indifferent anymore, let alone her.
She was like a fish on the beach, unable to breathe or move, and her remaining strength could not make much noise. She really needed a pair of hands to push her.
Huston was such a man who could help her.
He held a truly special place in her heart.
He was so special that she had no choice but to pay attention to him. She got close to him, observed him, understood him,
and even went deep into his life.
All of these had permeated into their relationship and existed. Although she was aware of them, she didn’t want to face.
them.
She had no choice but to face up to her feelings today after
Huston mentioned it.
“Do I like him?” She asked herself in her heart again. In the
past 24 years, except for Jerry, she had never liked anyone
else. If her heartbeat was an answer now, she should like him.
She couldn’t tell how much she liked him. At least in the face
of him, her heart couldn’t be at peace. She didn’t even know
when she started to like this man.
Thinking of it carefully, she found that he had done a lot for
her.
Her lawsuit, job, daily routine, and even her quest for
revenge against the Graves family were all closely tied to his
assistance. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
It took her a long time to find her voice. She asked a bold
question in a trembling voice, “Do you mean that you like me
too?”
The man’s eyes were so deep that no one could see his
emotions clearly. The only thing she could confirm was that
he was serious and focused at this time. He replied, “You can think of it that way.”
Did he admit it?
