NovelEnglishChapter 723 He’s Trying to Make Her Anxious
Evelyn couldn’t entrust herself to such a family, and she certainly wouldn’t subject Lucas to a life filled
with turmoil and danger.
“If there’s anything you need to discuss, just talk it out,” Kevin expressed his desire for them to
reconcile, both for their own sake and for the greater good. He genuinely hoped for their happiness.
Evelyn shook her head, feeling uncertain. She said, “I can’t contact him, and I received a lawyer’s letter
this morning.”
She handed the document to Kevin, who actually knew about it since yesterday. However, there are
times when white lies are necessary. Although he felt guilty, he pretended to be unaware and skimmed
through the contents.
The more he read, the angrier he became. No wonder she couldn’t be pacified. Huston had actually

Kevin had the urge to shout to Evelyn, to tell her that it was just a scare tactic employed by Huston.
Huston had never intended. to separate Lucas from his mother. However, he hesitated, considering
Huston’s instructions before he left. With a troubled expression, he spoke, “Based on what I know
about him, he
I do something like this unless he felt absolutely
cornered.”
After speaking, Kevin remembered the incident when Huston asked to borrow clothes from him. With a
pensive expression, he asked, “Did something happen between you two that forced him to make this
decision?”
Evelyn was immediately reminded of the incident in the lounge that day. Her face showed a mix of
embarrassment and discomfort. She understood what had happened but couldn’t bring herself to share
it with Kevin. Instead, she gave a vague response, “Something unpleasant happened yesterday when I
went to the hospital.”
“Well, there you have it,” Kevin waved his hand nonchalantly, “He’s just hot-headed. If you give in a
little, things will likely settle down. If he really held a grudge, would he have allowed you to go to the
hospital to see Lucas?”
Evelyn realized that Kevin was right. In the heat of anger, she hadn’t considered these factors, but…
She opened her phone’s contact list, feeling a bit despondent. “He doesn’t answer my calls or see me,
and I have no hope of seeing Lucas.”
Kevin had been waiting for her to say that, so he immediately said, “It’s okay. I’ll call him.”
He dialed Huston’s number directly, and after a long ringing tone, Huston finally answered. Evelyn felt
anxious, but Huston
knowing that Evelyn was by Kevin’s side and Kevin would call and deliberately take his time to answer,

“Where are you now?” He lowered his voice. He felt a little guilty about tricking her in front of her.
“I’m at home. Where else can I be?”
“Evelyn wants to see you. If you have something to say, say it face-to-face. We’re all adults, so why
play this disappearing act?” Kevin took the opportunity to have a few words with him and improve his
image in Evelyn’s eyes.
Huston didn’t appreciate it in the slightest and said, “No way.”
He just wanted her to be anxious!
“Hey, don’t go too far.” Kevin didn’t argue with him and asked him directly, “You can either come over or
I’ll take Evelyn to you. Make your choice.”
Huston stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the scenery outside. He rubbed his thumb and
index finger together and gently parted his thin lips. “I’ll go to Night Bar tonight. If she wants to see me,
she can come there.”
