Chapter 408 So Scheming
“I’m not worried,” Evelyn said, trying to sound confident, but deep inside, she felt a bit uneasy. After all,
she had met Huston’s grandparents before, and the experience wasn’t pleasant. And thinking about
her family made her even more unsure and apprehensive.
However, as he said, she had to go through it sooner or later. She couldn’t give up now.
Besides, she had him by her side.
They talked on the phone for a while. When Lucy knocked on the door and asked Evelyn to go out for
dinner, she quickly hung up the phone.
Huston put his phone into his pocket, got out of the car, and
walked towards the villa.
The curtains of the guest room at the end of the second floor
moved slightly. Mia hid behind the curtains. She stood there
for as long as Huston got out of the car.
No need to guess. He must be calling that bitch, Evelyn.
Her eyes were full of jealousy and fierceness.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFortunately, Evelyn had returned home now. These days without seeing Evelyn, she must be the only
one in Huston’s
eyes.
Thinking of this, Mia calmed down a lot. Although she couldn’t go out and only stay in a villa, as long as
Huston accompanied her, everything wouldn’t be so unbearable.
Mia pushed the door open and walked out of the guest room. Just as she was about to go downstairs,
she passed by the master bedroom and stopped. Previously, it had always been
Evelyn and Huston who lived there, but now that Evelyn was
not here…
Mia’s eyes flickered with a hint of light. After staring at it for
a few seconds, she withdrew her gaze and went downstairs indifferently.
Huston had just changed his shoes at the door. It was almost
two o’clock. He had not had lunch yet. Mia stepped forward
and asked, “Huston, do you want Sadie to cook something for
you?”
“No, I have a long-range meeting later.”
“A meeting?”
“The final video conference with the overseas company for
this year.” Huston was in a good mood and responded to her one by one, but there wasn’t much
conversation. He
maintained a certain distance between them.
“Then will you have dinner at home tonight?” Seeing that he was going upstairs, Mia quickly stopped
him. Afraid he would refuse, she said, “I don’t want to eat by myself. Can you… accompany me?”
She deliberately lowered her tone as if begging him to pity her. The loneliness in her tone made Huston
think that if her
parents were still alive…
Huston took a deep breath and slightly closed his eyes, and his throat rumbled, and he responded, “All
right.”
After that, he turned around and went to the study on the
third floor.

to make some dumplings, but as soon as she turned around, she met Sadie’s slightly weary eyes.
The smile on her face froze for a moment, but she quickly
covered it up. “You heard it, Sadie.”
Sadie could clearly see that she looked pitiful a second ago,
but the next second, she had a triumphant look. Even at her
age, she couldn’t help but get goosebumps.
She had never had a good impression of Mia and didn’t expect her to be so scheming.
“Sadie, what’s wrong?” While Sadie was thinking, Mia had. already walked up to her.
Sadie came to her senses and smiled awkwardly. “Nothing. I just remembered that there was no meat
stuffing at home. I’ll go out to buy it later.”
Mia saw her about to leave and spoke meaningfully to her back, “Sadie, don’t worry. I won’t mistreat
you in the future.”
Sadie felt a tightness in her heart. She knew that as a worker, she didn’t have much say. Mia’s words
carried a subtle
warning.
