NovelEnglishChapter 789 I’m Jealous
This regret actually caused him to blame himself, and he suddenly couldn’t continue chatting. “I still
have a meeting to attend. Let’s talk later.”
Evelyn opened her mouth–and–wanted to ask something, but it was still too late. She could only
hurriedly remind him before he hung up, “Take good care of yourself. I’ll be back in two days.”
What responded to her was a cold and mechanically busy tone.
He hung up.
She frowned and looked at her phone, which had gone black again. She felt a little uneasy.
“Crack.”
Behind her, the door was opened from the outside. When she turned her head, she saw a man walking
in slowly. “I made porridge. Let’s go down and have a drink?”
She looked at him in a daze, and what Bert said just now echoed in her ears.
He walked up to her and looked at her lost in thought. He waved his hand in front of her and said,

Looking into the man’s deep eyes, she was very puzzled and asked uncertainly, “Huston, how’s your
business with Bert going?”
Her sudden question was unexpected. The man froze. Of course, he did not think that she asked it for
no reason. His eyes fell on her mobile phone. While she was off guard, he took it and pressed the key
to see the caller ID.
There was nothing to hide, but when he suddenly snatched it away, she felt insecure and
subconsciously stood on tiptoe to snatch it away. “What are you doing? Give it to me!”
The height gap between them made it impossible for him to reach her. Looking at her flushed face, the
man pursed his lips coldly and threw the phone on the big bed next to him.
She immediately wanted to take it, but she was grabbed by the arm. “I didn’t expect Bert to like to
complain to women?”
She frowned and disliked his unreasonable attitude. “What nonsense are you talking about? He didn’t
say anything at all!”
“If I didn’t say, would you ask me?”
“I asked it myself.”
“Ha.” He chuckled, but there was not a hint of a smile in his eyes. It was full of coldness and
ruthlessness. He took a step forward and almost bumped into her face. “Why are you asking me? What
do you want to know? Are you worried about him?”
She instinctively wanted to step back, but he pulled her into his arms and looked at her with
suppressed anger in his black eyes. “I thought you knew whose woman you were after last night. It
seems that you didn’t.”
When he brought up what had happened last night, she felt her face burning and humiliated. She
struggled hard and said, “Don’t pester me!”
“My woman cares about another man in front of me, a man who has lived with her for five years. If I can
still maintain my generosity, I’m not a man!”
“You’re so unreasonable and jealous!” She was so angry with him that she didn’t care about anything
for a moment. Only after she said it did she realize how much it looked like a quarrel between a couple.

Evelyn’s anger, which was about to turn into raging flames, suddenly subsided by more than half
because of these words. Looking at his livid face and fiery eyes, she felt more helpless than angry.
Forget it. What’s the point of arguing? The result will still be the same in the end.
She turned her face away and let out a long sigh. When she spoke again, she became more patient.
“He really didn’t say
anything. He just asked me if I was better. You were too sensitive. I won’t deny that I asked you about
the company’s affairs out of concern, but have you ever thought about what Bert means to me and
Lucas? He is not an ordinary friend. He is the one who gave me another life in my heart. Do you
understand?”
“I understand.”
Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she heard the man say angrily again, “I don’t know
anything! If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have such a big gap with you in the past five years. Yes, you
are thanking him. I can’t do anything about it. But for me, he is an idiot who took my woman and child
away without my knowledge. It’s already polite of me not to do anything to him. You asked me to not
fight back even though I am targeted. If you still treat me as a man, don’t have such expectations!”
