Chapter 308 How Long Are You Going to Hide It From Me?
Huston only said simple words, “Tell her the truth.”
Mia didn’t expect she would become the key point instantly. She wished she could tell the connections
between her and Huston, how they had a deep bond since childhood, and how no one could separate
them.
But now that she saw how nervous and concerned Huston was, she knew very well that if she said
something she shouldn’t, her relationship with Huston would end.
Mia took a deep breath, withdrew her gaze, and looked straight at Evelyn. After a few seconds, she
said softly, “Although we are not blood-related, Huston is like my brother. There is no other relationship
between us. Don’t be overly suspicious.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUpon first hearing this statement, it may sound reasonable, but why she said she was overly
suspicious? Even if she misunderstood, it was normal. Where did the notion of being overly suspicious
come from?
“A non-blood-related brother?” Evelyn sneered. “What kind of drama are you two playing?”
Huston pursed his lips. “Her parents are my benefactors.”
swollen from crying but unable to hide the curiosity in her gaze. “Then why did you keep it a secret from
me?”
Even though Huston hadn’t done anything with Mia, under Evelyn’s gaze, Huston’s heart continued to
feel uneasy. “Mia is still recovering from her illness, and I wanted to wait until she was better before
telling you.”
“When will she be better?” Evelyn felt as if she were submerged in a sealed container, the suffocating
sense of urgency making it difficult for her to breathe. “If I hadn’t followed you here today, how long
would you keep it from me? Do you feel guilty about seeing me being kept in the dark like a fool?”
After that, without waiting for his reply, Evelyn continued, “Huston, have I never known you before?”
This was not the man she knew. In Evelyn’s eyes, he was a person who disdained to lie. Every word of
his carried weight. He would never say what he could not do. But today, this trusted man had shown
her the scene before her eyes.
Evelyn suddenly thought about those nights when he left late and occasionally didn’t return until
morning. What emotions did he have when he lied to her and navigated between two
women?
It was so scary. Her trust in him had been completely retracted, and all her knowledge of him had
collapsed. This person was not the Huston she thought she knew.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEvelyn’s eyes were filled with despair, causing Huston to feel a sense of fear as if he was about to lose
her. “Evelyn, I was just worried about her condition, so I came to see her. Other than that, I didn’t do
anything else. I…”
“What else do you want? Haven’t you lied enough to me?”
In the face of her interrogation, Huston was speechless. All his worries had come true. He had indeed
deceived her, regardless of his intentions. He had ultimately betrayed her trust.
“I’m sorry, Evelyn, I’m sorry…” He apologized in such a low
voice.
Mia had never seen Huston like this before. He was usually so proud and stern, always surrounded by
countless people wherever he stood. When did he ever become so subservient to a
woman?
This man’s innate pride had never allowed him to bow down to anyone. And yet, now he was humbling
himself to such an extent for the sake of Evelyn.
