Chapter 654 Indebted for Eternity
“What’s your plan for coming back this time? You’ve been alone in Lownon all these years. Have you
gotten used to it?” There were countless questions in Grace’s mind, all jumbled up, and she didn’t
know which one to ask first.
Evelyn patiently explained, “I saved the life of a Chinese descendant by accident before. It was this
man who helped me when I left. When I was in Eoland, he took good care of me and my child. I lived a
good life and had my own law firm. I didn’t have to worry about basic needs, but I was mentally
exhausted.”
“Chinese descendant?” Grace frowned as she tried to recall.
Evelyn pointed out, “Do you remember the man we met when
we went on a vacation? It was him, Bert.”
It was a long time ago. After thinking for a while, Grace remembered a vague figure. “Ah, I remember.
It’s that

“Yes.”
“What is your relationship with him now?”
Evelyn knew that she must have thought too much, so she
shook her head and said, “We’re closer than friends. It’s more
like a kind of family bond.”
Hearing this, Grace clearly didn’t believe it, “Don’t fool me. How can a man take care of you for five
years without any reason? He must have feelings for you.”
Evelyn was caught off guard by her words, and she had to
admit that Grace truly understood her.
Seeing her silence, Grace realized that she had hit the mark, and couldn’t help but think of Huston, that
domineering and
strong-willed man. “So, what do you think now? Are you going
to make things clear to Huston, or are you going to separate
from Bert?”
“I owe Bert too much in this life, and I’ll never be able to repay him, let alone talk about separating. I will
do my best to compensate for his efforts with the utmost ability. As for my emotions, I am truly
exhausted now.””
Grace also knew that emotions were beyond her control. “Alright, when it comes to matters of the
heart, you have to make your own decisions. If there’s anything you can’t handle or if you want to
escape, come find me. My door is always open for you, as long as you need.”
“Croco thank
you.”
Tears welled up in Grace’s eyes. “If you truly want to thank me, then don’t leave again.”
The next morning, Evelyn and Grace woke up and took Lucas to a nearby mall to buy the daily
necessities they needed. Most of them were clothes for the child and household items.
After they finished shopping, it was just lunchtime. There was an authentic Chinese restaurant next to
them. The cooking method is with a Southern influence, which was also very suitable for children to

However, there were not many people who came for lunch at
noon on weekdays. They chose a seat by the window, which
was not too noisy.
Evelyn ordered Crab Cakes, a Catfish Stew, Barbecued Duck,
and Fried Clam Strips. Finally, she ordered a Mushroom and Tofu Soup. The four dishes were light in
color, but the taste
was very attractive.
Lucas grew up in Eoland and had never eaten authentic Chinese food. His only understanding was
limited to Evelyn’s cooking. Although she was good at cooking, it couldn’t
compare with the traditional chef’s cooking skills.
As soon as the little girl took a bite of the lion’s head, she gave it a thumbs-up and said, “Good! It’s very
delicious!”
Evelyn and Grace couldn’t help but smile at his exaggerated expression. “If it’s delicious, eat more.”
The atmosphere during the meal was joyful and harmonious.
However, this atmosphere didn’t last long. Just as they had taken a few bites, a tall figure loomed over
their heads.
