Chapter 667 They Can Hug If They Want
Evelyn approached with skepticism, taking a step towards the car door when she heard the sound of
the car unlocking with a click. She took a deep breath and opened the door, looking at the man in the
driver’s seat. However, she didn’t move her feet. “What are you doing here?”
Half of the man’s face was illuminated by the overhead light, while the other half remained concealed in
darkness. She didn’t know how long he had been waiting there, but his voice was as deep as an echo
from the depths of the sea. “Get in the car.”
Evelyn was displeased with his assertive attitude and
commanding tone. She instinctively resisted, “I…”
“We can’t park here. Get in first, and then we’ll talk.”
“…Fine.” She had no choice but to obediently get into the car.
Once inside, the man pressed the accelerator and drove onto the main road, heading towards Grace’s
Apartment. Evelyn was securely fastened by the seat belt, and it felt as if invisible restraints were

tense.
“What about the child?” he finally spoke, but his question was about the child. Considering their current
relationship, it seemed that they only discussed matters related to the child and often argued about
everything else.
“He’s at home. I was afraid I wouldn’t have time to take care of him, so I entrusted him to my parents.”
“Do they get along well?”
Evelyn’s heart skipped a beat, and she became nervous at the mention of this. “…They get along fine.”
After a moment of silence, the man continued, “I told my family about the child.”
His sudden statement caught Evelyn off guard, and it took her a few seconds to comprehend his
meaning. She was even more astonished. “What!?”
After all, the Lloyd family had initially rejected her, and now they would know that she had returned with
Huston’s child…
“Huston, have you gone mad?! Did you just release the news about our child without my consent? Did
you even bother to ask if I agreed or not?” Evelyn’s anger surged instantly, and she stared at him in
disbelief. “When you told them, did you
consider how they would treat our child? What if they don’t accept Lucas’s existence and end up
hurting him? Have you thought about these questions? You keep saying you want the child, is this how
you show your love? So selfish…”
Every word she spoke cut deep, and before Huston could even argue, she had already stabbed him in
the heart. From the beginning to the end, she had never truly believed in him.
“They just want to hug their grandchild, nothing else,” Huston’s voice choked, interrupting her relentless
barrage.
Evelyn admitted that she had not been calm enough regarding Lucas’s situation. But she had no
mental preparation for him to expose it openly like this. Could she handle it? She didn’t want Lucas to
suffer even the slightest harm, whether physical or psychological.
At this stage of his life, Lucas was forming his worldview. If
someone said something to him, he would remember it for a

So when she heard Huston’s response, her immediate
reaction was sarcasm. “They want to hug him, so let them? Should I kneel down and thank the Lloyd
family for their tolerance and selflessness?”
“Screech-”
The tires made a piercing sound as they suddenly braked against the pavement.
Huston abruptly stopped the car by the roadside, his face so dark that it seemed water could drip from
it. “When did I say I agreed? When did I force you to accept it? I just wanted our child to have a status,
for them to know that Huston is not completely empty-handed. I’m just happy and excited to be a father,
my blood is boiling with joy. You call me selfish, Evelyn, but if anyone dares to harm our child, I’ll take
revenge a hundredfold or a thousandfold before they even have a chance to act. I cherish him more
than anyone else!”
He knew she was sensitive and suspicious about their child’s situation. He understood her feelings as a
mother. But could she show a little understanding of his desire to be a good
father?
She didn’t know how much he felt hurt, guilty, frustrated, and even wronged when she said those
words. He couldn’t express
it in words.
