NovelEnglishChapter 815 Give Me a Way Out
Half an hour later, the car drove into the front yard of the old house. Before getting out of the car,
Evelyn was nervous. She had to unbuckle her seat belt several times before she could unbuckle it. The
man looked sideways and held her little hand. "Don't worry, nothing unpleasant will happen. Trust me."
If the two elders' attitudes were the same as before, he wouldn't have brought Evelyn back, let alone let
her suffer.
"Even an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her parents-in-law. You should meet them first and get
mentally prepared." He deliberately teased her.
Evelyn pushed him away. "Don't talk nonsense."
When they got out of the car, Huston went to the trunk of the car and took out the tea leaves and silk
scarf gift boxes. The butler was about to accept them when he waved his hand and said, "I'll do it
myself."

It was time for dinner when she came from the police station. Knowing that Huston was coming back,
she had prepared a table of dishes, including vegetables and meat, which were all his favorites.
As soon as Evelyn entered the door, she saw the two old men sitting on the sofa. They came back after
some time, and their moods were completely different from before. She held the gift boxes tightly with
both hands. No matter how nervous she was, she straightened her back and followed Huston decently.
"They're here." Mr. Lloyd was stunned when he saw the two of them walking in one after the other. He
couldn't help muttering, "Why did you bring something with you?"
He knew that Evelyn was probably the one who brought it here. After all, Huston had never done these
things. He was practical and would ask someone to arrange everything for him. He rarely expressed
his feelings for her.
Sure enough, in the next second, he saw Huston placing the items on the table and saying lightly, "This
is the tea leaves and scarf that Evelyn bought. It's based on your and Grandma's preferences."
Only then did Mr. Lloyd look at Evelyn. "You don't have to bring anything. There's still a lot at home."
He said politely, but in fact, he did not refuse her gift. Instead, he turned to the nanny next to him and
ordered, "Go and make a pot of tea. I'll try this new tea."
Evelyn heaved a sigh of relief. She knew that the incident with Lucas was a knot between them.
Although she had not done anything wrong, she was still a junior. If she wanted to continue their
relationship, she would have to get their approval. She could not wait for the old man to apologize to
her first.
If he gave her a way out, she would give up.
Huston sat on the sofa opposite the old man, and Evelyn sat next to him. Most of the time, she listened
to them talking, and she rarely interrupted.
After talking about work for a while, the old man was still worried about the little boy. "Why didn't you
come with the child today? Is there anyone at home to look after him?"
"Sadie is here. It's okay." When he thought of Lucas, the expression in Huston's eyes unconsciously

After that, Mr. Lloyd was no longer restrained and asked about going to school. "Has the school been
decided? We'd better go back early."
"I've seen her. We have to discuss it. She hasn't registered yet." After that, he glanced at the woman
next to him.
Mr. Lloyd also looked over. He wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. In the end, he
didn't say anything. "Let's eat first. The dishes will be cold later."
The four of them walked to the dining room. Mr. Lloyd was sitting in the main seat, while Huston and
Mrs. Huston were on both sides. There was no one opposite Evelyn, so she felt much more relaxed.
The food was delicious, and she ate a lot. Unexpectedly, after drinking the fish soup, Grandma Huston
took the initiative to give her another bowl. "Drink more. This is good for your health."
It was a simple sentence, but she sounded a little awkward. Evelyn sounded a bit reserved, but she
was happy inside. There was a strange feeling in her heart. She reached out and took the bowl. "I can
do it myself. It's within my reach."
"Eat more, or you won't have the energy to take care of the child."
When heard this, Evelyn didn't say anything. Even if she was concerned about Lucas, she had already
felt relieved after experiencing so much. It was enough as long as the intention was good.
