Chapter 957 What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?
Her attitude made Huston swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth. The atmosphere became a
little stagnant for a moment. They looked at each other for a long time before Huston spoke patiently.
"I know you're worried about me, Evelyn, but as a legal staff, it's my duty."
Evelyn was so anxious that she blurted out, "But without you, there would be someone else who can do it. Why do
you have to do it by yourself? If you don't return to the lawyer's circle now, will the case be suspended?"
These words were undoubtedly a kind of doubt towards Huston. He had returned because he still had some
thoughts in his heart, and she wanted him to return, but now that he heard her say these things in reverse, his
heart felt sour.
The moment Evelyn said that she regretted it, but she had no other choice. She was really worried about him.
Looking at his cold face, she felt wronged and anxious. "You only think that you are a legal worker. Have you ever

family. I really don't want any other accidents to happen."
In the end, she couldn't help but choke up, feeling his lack of understanding towards her.
When Huston saw that her eyes were red and he was no longer angry, his heart ached for her. He reached out to
hold her in his arms, but she dodged.
She suppressed the tears in her eyes and tried to make her voice sound less choked with sobs. "Think about it
yourself."
After that, she stopped arguing and turned to walk out of the study.
Looking at the door that had been opened and closed again, Huston shifted his gaze to the steaming milk on the
table. His palm on the table gradually tightened. This was the first time there had been such a big disagreement
between them since they had reconciled.
In fact, before telling her, he was hesitating whether to take over the case or not. But when he saw her reaction
today, he couldn't hide his real thoughts.
He wanted to accept the case because it involved a lot of people. He needed to stand up for this group of people.
Would there be anyone else other than him?
Maybe there would be, but it would definitely not be as good as him.
His previous overseas experience and understanding of the case's background allowed him to take over the case.
The point of his hesitation was about Evelyn and their child.
No one knew what would happen to the lawsuit, and this matter was definitely not simple. They had to be more
careful.
Even Matt was neutral. If it weren't for the higher-ups giving him the case directly, he wouldn't have handed over
such a case to him.
That night, Evelyn and Huston did not sleep well. When Huston returned to the master bedroom in the middle of the
night, there was no sign of her on the large bed. She must have gone to the guest room.

create resistance from her.
When Evelyn got up the next morning, Huston was no longer in the villa. She took Lucas downstairs and sent him to
school after breakfast.
Along the way, she had a lot on her mind, and even the child could tell. He asked her, "Mom, what's wrong with
you?"
Evelyn turned to look at her son's young and handsome face and asked with a complicated expression, "What do
you want to do when you grow up?"
Lucas was just a child, and his attention was quickly diverted. "I want to be an architect!"
"Why?"
"Because it's interesting. I like to build blocks and put them together. When I see those beautiful tall buildings, I
think they are amazing. It would be great if one day I could have my own building like that," said Lucas. As he talked
about these things, there was a sparkle in his eyes, showing the sincerity in his heart.
Hearing this, Evelyn also thought it was great and rare to have his own ideas. "Then you have to work hard because
not everyone can be an architect," she said.
