Chapter 283 The Chaos in the Bar
Evelyn and Huston’s seemingly harmonious but distant
relationship lasted for almost a week. During this time, they went to work together every day, had meals
together, and
occasionally Huston worked late, but he didn’t stay out all
night like before. However, Evelyn couldn’t help but feel that
something had changed.
For example, when he was in the study, he never took the
initiative to let her in again. And when he returned late, he
always refused to take the initiative to tell her why.
For the first time in her life, Evelyn felt flustered. She didn’t
even know what he was thinking.
Suppressed, frustrated, and gloomy, various emotions
intertwined within Evelyn. She couldn’t bear it anymore, and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcoincidentally, Huston had something to do and hadn’t come back at night. So she called Grace to go
out for a drink.
As old friends, they didn’t need to say much. After a few drinks, there were no more secrets. Evelyn
poured out everything that had happened recently, and Grace joined in, scolding Huston. The two of
them laughed foolishly while hugging their bottles of alcohol.
“There’s nothing good about men!”
“That’s right!”
“Why can they do whatever they want? They’re not even qualified to carry shoes!”
“That’s right!”
They finished the wine on the dining table but were still
not satisfied. A small bar was nearby, and Grace had a
membership card there. The two of them agreed immediately
and went there to continue drinking.
Grace got tipsy and ordered a liquor tower directly. The glasses were stacked high and low, astonishing
the men at the nearby tables. The bar manager even thanked them loudly.
After consuming these drinks, which had a strong kick, it didn’t
take long for Evelyn’s remaining traces of sobriety to dissipate. Holding her phone, she headed to the
restroom to splash water on her face, only to be blocked by a young man.
“Beauty, are you here alone?” The man was wearing a printed long-sleeved shirt, and his hair seemed
neatly styled and
frozen in place with gel. The fragrance of his perfume was so overpowering that it made one dizzy.
Feeling dizzy already, the scent made Evelyn even more
nauseous. She pushed him away and tried to head toward
the restroom, but the man grabbed her wrist before she could take a step. “Don’t leave. Let’s have a
drink together, shall
we?” he said.
Evelyn struggled but failed to break free. After drinking, she said impatiently, “I’m busy!”
“Oh, you have a bad temper. I like it.” As the man spoke, he put

Feeling disgusted, Evelyn was about to speak when the phone in her hand suddenly rang. She didn’t
have time to see who it was and picked it up. “Hello, who is it?”
On the other end of the line, Huston was driving home when
he heard Evelyn’s slurred voice. He immediately turned the steering wheel and stopped the car by the
side of the road.
Huston narrowed his eyes slightly, and a chill appeared in his sharp eyes. When he heard the noise
coming from the other end of the line, he asked coldly, “Where are you?”
“Me?” Evelyn glanced around. Before she could say anything,
the man behind her couldn’t wait to hug her. “Hey, beauty,
it’s not over yet. Come into my private room. It’s quiet over
there…”
“I’m not going. Don’t pull me…”
Just now, Huston was only worried, but now he couldn’t contain the surging anger in his body. The
thought of what might happen soon filled his eyes with a menacing, furious. glare that could make
anyone shudder. “Evelyn, I’ll ask you again, where are you right now?”
