Chapter 78 Promise Her
After a moment of silence, looking at the tears that were about to shed from the woman’s eyes, he finally gave in. He moved his palm from her delicate chin to the back of her neck, stroked her tender skin with his thumb, and comforted her. “I
“didn’t say that you deserve it. I will help you deal with Jerry.
Evelyn, you’re an adult now. Before taking action, you have to
consider the consequences. If I hadn’t happened to be there today, what would you do?”
She avoided his warm palm and said, “I do have a failed
marriage. In the end, my ex-husband was ruthless to me. It’s
normal for you to look down on me.”
Seeing that she couldn’t listen to him, he tightened his grip and pushed her forward. He stared at her with his dark eyes and said, “If I don’t want to care about you. I’ll push you away
when we met in the lift.”
If he hadn’t heard her voice at that time, he wouldn’t have
even looked at her, whether she was dead or alive.
But when he found that it was her, he looked at her
tear-stained face and felt her trembling body, and his hard
heart softened little by little.
He hadn’t fought for many years, but today he made an exception for her.
Only he could touch his own things.
“Tell me in advance if you need anything,” the man ordered. lightly.
Her eyelashes fluttered a few times, and her stubborn voice
was full of grievance. “I told you and I called you before I
came, but you didn’t answer.”
Huston’s brows furrowed even more tightly as he recalled that
he had gone out to attend a municipal meeting today. His
phone had been on silent mode the entire time, and he had not even had the chance to see the phone after the meeting
before he went to the Red Cauldron.
He took out his phone and saw that as expected, two missed
calls and a text message were from Evelyn.
His heart felt as if it had been scratched. It hurt and itchy. A
strange feeling flashed across his heart. Guilt? Annoyance? Or did he regret it?
None of them. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
It was more like that he felt tender and protective towards her.
If he had received the call, he would never have let her come
alone, and what happened next would not have happened.
The man frowned. “I won’t do it again.””
She looked up at him, thinking that she had misheard, but
when she met his serious gaze, she knew that she had not
misheard.
He was actually… making a promise to her?
She became nervous and coughed unnaturally. “It doesn’t
matter…”
“Are you still dizzy?”
“I’m a little better.”
He nodded. After fastening her seatbelt, he sat in the driver’s seat and started the car, heading for the Royal Villa. He held the steering wheel with one hand and rested his other hand
on the window, rubbing his chin from time to time with his slender fingers. His driving posture was casual and sexy. The wind outside the window swept through his hair, making it a little messy…
Remembering how he had pulled her into his arms without hesitation in the club, she suddenly felt her heart beating wildly.
She forced herself not to look at him anymore and turned
to look at the street scenery outside the window. The night was dark, and there was a cool breeze blowing through the
window, but she felt warm in her heart.
Forty minutes later, the car stopped in the front yard of the
‘villa.
The girl in the front passenger seat was already asleep. Huston got out of the car and went to the side. He opened the door and lifted her up. He walked all the way to the second floor of the villa, kicked open the door of the master bedroom
with his foot, and placed her on the bed.
She took off her clothes and shoes, and tuck her in. It was
the first time that he had taken care of someone, so he was sweating after that.
