Chapter 137 I’m Going to Buy Something
No one knew a daughter better than her father. Looking at Evelyn’s expression at this time, Ben already knew that she might have met Nick. Their eyes met, and both of them understood tacitly. After a long while, Ben finally compromised. “Follow me to the room.”
Without Lucy present, it was much more convenient for them to speak freely. After all, what had happened back then was not honorable. It had left a scar on the family’s heart. It took a long time for Lucy to slowly accept it. They didn’t want her to think about it again.
“Dad, you know Nick, right?” Just as Ben knew her well, she also knew Ben very well. In her impression, her father had been an emotionally stable person. However, he couldn’t even hold the cup firmly just now, which was obviously abnormal.
Ben did not deny it. “I do.”
Evelyn went on to ask, “Do you know that he was hired by M&F Group as the chief law counsel after he lost your lawsuit?”
When she asked this question, she stared into Ben’s eyes. She did not find a trace of shock or surprise in his eyes, which were
So, it meant that Ben knew about it.
Ben was silent for a few seconds before he nodded. “I know.”
“Dad, don’t you find it strange? Nick used to represent you in a lawsuit against M&F Group, which was heated at the time. But later the M&F Group hired him. They must have a hidden agenda, otherwise, they would have shot themselves in the fool by doing this!”
Ben frowned deeply. It seemed that he didn’t want to talk about the lawsuit. “These things are over, and the lawsuit has come to an end. It’s useless to think about it now.”
“Dad!” Ben’s evasive attitude surprised Evelyn. She looked at him in disbelief.
Ben didn’t want to talk to her anymore. He waved his hand and said, “All right, if there’s nothing else, you go out first. I’ll change my clothes. Don’t worry about this anymore.”
“Why?” asked Evelyn.
“It has nothing to do with you.” After that, Ben turned around and walked out of the room.
Evelyn sat by the bed and did not move. After a long time, she stood up and walked to the door. She stopped and said, “Even if you don’t want to tell me, I will definitely find out what happened in the lawsuit at that time!”
His eyes and sighed deeply.
Everything that had happened a few years ago flashed through his mind, and his eyes were wet.
When Evelyn left home, Lucy gave her a lot of food, including beef paste made by herself. Also, there were a lot of daily necessities. When Huston got off work, he drove to the community to pick her up.
After getting in the car, Evelyn was in a low mood and sat in the passenger seat silently. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
The atmosphere in the car was abnormally quiet. When they were waiting for the traffic light at the intersection, Huston glanced at the beef pastes in the back seat and took the initiative to find a topic to talk about. “Did your parents make it?”
She was stunned for a few seconds before she came back to her senses and nodded. “Yes.”
Worrying that she wouldn’t be able to eat well outside, her parents tried their best to make some food for her. Thinking of this, Evelyn felt her chest ache again.
He noticed it but did not know how to comfort her. Afraid that he would bring up another topic that would hurt her even more, he simply kept quiet and let her calm down first.
The car drove in the direction of the Royal Villa. When it passed
a street, the man suddenly saw a long queue in front of a shop. He looked carefully and saw a cake shop.
He didn’t like sweets, so he didn’t know much about them. However, Evelyn liked them very much.
He glanced at the road ahead, then turned on the left light and parked the car by the side of the road. While unfastening his seat belt, he said to her, “I’m going to buy something.”
She didn’t think too much about it and said, “Go ahead.”-
