Chapter 532 Don’t Smoke Too Much
Although Evelyn was mentally prepared, she couldn’t help clenching her fists on her knees when she
heard the number.
She smiled bitterly and looked away. “Considering the crime of intentional murder, this outcome is
already not bad.”
She knew that he had tried his best.
“Evelyn…” Huston’s throat felt a sharp pain with each word. The sourness that surged within him had to
be suppressed. “I had intended to bail you out, but the current situation seems quite difficult.”
“I’m mentally prepared. This is the price I have to pay for my willfulness.” When the confession was
turned over in court, Evelyn already knew what was happening.
They exchanged glances, both feeling uneasiness and pain in their hearts. They loved each other
deeply, yet they tormented each other. Every cell in their bodies longed for kisses and embraced, but
reality only offered cold cruelty.

might take some time for someone to dare to help. Once the heat dies down a bit, things will improve. I
won’t let you wait for too long.”
As Evelyn looked at the man before her, she realized that
because of this lawsuit, he no longer appeared as invincible as before. Anxiety, worry, sadness,
vulnerability… Words that would never have been associated with him in this lifetime were now
revealed one by one, causing her heartache and guilt.
This tall and handsome man shouldn’t have become like this because of her.
Feeling depressed, Huston reached into the inner pocket of his suit and took out a pack of cigarettes.
Just as he was about to light it, Evelyn stopped him.
He looked up at her. “What’s wrong?”
Although Evelyn had always advised him not to smoke, she rarely stopped him directly.
Out of concern for the child in her belly, Evelyn looked back and forth between him and the cigarette
with a natural expression. “Don’t smoke too much. I see that you’ve been coughing occasionally
recently.”
Was it because of this?
Huston removed the cigarette from his lips. Before Evelyn could heave a sigh of relief, he had changed
his posture and put it in his mouth. The lighter was already in his hand. “I’ve been annoyed recently
and always want to smoke.”
Apart from smoking, he had no other vices or hobbies. Smoking could provide him with a slight relief
from his inner sorrows.
As he spoke, he brought the lighter to his lips.
He pressed the button of the lighter, producing a crisp ‘click’ sound. Flames rose from the nozzle,
emanating a warm red glow illuminating his sexy chin.
With narrowed eyes, Huston took a deep drag from his cigarette. His profound gaze slightly squinted as
if savoring the moment.

The stimulating gas slid through his nostrils, entered the trachea, and finally drifted into the lung lobes,
gently stimulating the cells within. The cells expanded and flowed, seemingly arousing his deeper
desires.
White smoke slowly exhaled from his nose and drifted to Evelyn’s side with the air.
Even though it wasn’t a strong scent, and Evelyn had been fine with it before, at this moment, she felt a
strong aversion in her heart.
Breathing in the wisps of smoke was like inhaling a noseful of oil. They were all stuck in her stomach,
making her uncomfortable and disgusted.
At first, Evelyn could hold it in, but as time passed, the smell of cigarettes became heavier and heavier,
and the disgust became more and more obvious.
She forced herself to hold on and did not want to act too abnormally. She prayed in her heart, hoping
the cigarette would be smoked faster.
Dozens of seconds, half a minute, almost a minute passed… Seeing that the cigarette was getting
shorter and shorter on his fingertips, Evelyn was glad it was about to burn out.
Suddenly, the nausea increased sharply, and a stream of air
rushed straight to her throat. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t control her body’s original
reaction.
