Chapter 262 A Worried Face
Huston frowned and walked to the balcony to answer the call. “What’s wrong?”
“Mr. Lloyd, the preparations for the residence in the northern
part of the city are nearly complete, but I just noticed an issue with the orientation of the windows here.
I’m planning to make some adjustments early tomorrow morning. Would you like to come and have a
look?”
Huston looked at the clock on the bedroom wall through the sliding window, and then his gaze fell on
the woman beside the bed. He hesitated for a moment, but thinking that Mia would return the day after
tomorrow, he agreed. “I’ll go now.”
After hanging up the phone, he gently opened the door and
closed it. He went straight into the cloakroom, took off his pajamas, and changed into sportswear.
From the dressing room to the bedroom door, he had to pass by the side of the bed. His footsteps
paused slightly, and his
gaze wandered back and forth on Evelyn’s body. Internally
conflicted, he debated whether to wake her with a word, but
ultimately, he decided not to.
He closed the door and isolated himself from the warm room.
into the underground garage, and started the car. He didn’t dare to look back for fear that he would see

In the pitch-black of the late night, on the winding mountain. road, Huston pressed the accelerator to
the maximum, hoping for the car to go faster, praying that Evelyn sleeping soundly, wouldn’t wake up.
It took him an hour and a half to drive from the Royal Villa to the villa in the north of the city, even
though he was driving as fast as they could.
The villa in the northern part of the city was located in an upscale, affluent neighborhood. It occupied
half of the mountain and consisted of only nine villas. Each villa was divided into three sections: an
independent single-story building, a two-story duplex, and a three-story main villa.
Each family had a large front yard, including a private
swimming pool, which was extremely luxurious.
Back then, the main reason why Huston had taken a fancy to
this villa was because he had considered the situation of Mia.
Not only was it luxurious, but it was also the best place in Jewel City, with the best air and green
environment.
Many big shots would come here to recuperate. Back then, numerous people were eager to buy this
villa, and even with a
lot of money, they didn’t qualify for the purchase.
When the car arrived at the door, it opened automatically. As soon as it stopped, a man immediately
opened the door respectfully. “Hello, Mr. Lloyd.”
The man’s name was Brad. He was 32 years old, with an average build and a height of around 1.75
meters. He had a slightly dark complexion, short crew-cut hair, small eyes, and thin lips. His overall
demeanor exudes a strong and stern.
aura.
He had won numerous judo championship titles in the past, but later on, he was deceived by a
company and signed an unfair contract. Not only did he not receive the prize money from the
competitions, but he also had to work for others without any compensation.
Back then, Huston’s career was on the rise, and during that time, he fought the legal battle for him.
They emerged victorious, and since then, Brad had been wholeheartedly dedicated to working for him.
Huston nodded slightly to indicate that he had heard him.
After leaving the car, he walked straight into the villa and
looked around. He looked at the windows.
All the windows faced the sun, which was not good for
someone with a sensitive constitution like Mia.
“Have you decided on the modification plan?”
Brad immediately handed over the blueprint in his hand. “It’s
done. Please take a look.”

“The bedroom, study, and the small room on the third floor should not have windows. Fill them all up.”
“Got it.” Brad immediately reported the information to the designer in charge of modification.
Huston walked around the house again, inspecting every floor, including the yard. He identified any
inconveniences and
informed the designer to fix them by tomorrow.
An hour after everything had been arranged, Brad looked at
Huston before him and sighed from the bottom of his heart. “Ms. Klein’s condition has finally stabilized.
Congratulations, Mr. Lloyd.”
Hearing this, Huston’s lips curled up slightly, but he did
not smile at all. He raised his hand and patted him on the
shoulder. “Thank you for your hard work.”
Brad had followed him for so many years that he could more
or less sense the change in his mood. At this moment, when he
saw the man’s unhappy expression, he was a little puzzled.
For so many years, what Mr. Lloyd hoped for the most was that Ms. Klein could recover and return to
the country to settle
down. Why was he so worried now?
