NovelOnlineChapter 820 Returning to the Old House
Bert soon learned that Evelyn had returned to Eoland. The night before she left, she took the initiative
to send him a message saying that he had not replied, but that his base camp was in London. It was
very simple to find out her whereabouts, but he did not let anyone report it.
After Benjamin finished his report, he looked at Mr. Harper thoughtfully and there was a hint of
disappointment in his eyes. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Mr. Harper, are you still following up
on Huston's project?"
Several of his senior executives knew that the main reason why Bert had suddenly returned to the
country and targeted the company on Huston's side was because of Evelyn. To pin down Huston, he
had made a lot of unnecessary sacrifices, which was simply the biggest negative example for Bert, who
had always been calm and objective. Now that Miss Shelton had left, maybe he would change his

Bert did not respond. Instead, he opened the first drawer of the office. There was a black velvet
rectangular box in it. He had ordered it from a famous jewelry craftsman in Eoland, and it had taken
half a month to finish. At that time, he had wanted to put it on for Evelyn personally before she returned
to Eoland, but now it seemed that it was useless.
Eternal, Eternity.
The name of the necklace sounded beautiful at that time, but now it sounded ironic to him.
Thinking about it, it made sense. Not only was love eternal, but their unapproachable relationship was.
What was the point of pretending to be magnanimous in front of her? The bitterness in his heart would
not disappear just because she pretended not to care.
The man closed the drawer and closed the door behind him. When he looked up again, there was only
coldness left in his eyes. "You don't have to ask me how the project goes."
He had lost the woman he had cherished for five years, and it was not too much for him to make
Huston lose a project.
Benjamin was stunned for a moment, but then he did not dare to ask any more questions. He nodded
respectfully and said, "Yes."
...
After Evelyn left, Huston handed over the company's affairs to Benjamin. He was the remote controller,
and the important documents were brought home to be signed by Benjamin. Although it was a little
outrageous, to take care of the child, the man enjoyed this kind of life with ease.
In the first two days, he played games and watched cartoons with him every day. But on the third day,
Lucas was bored and kept begging him to take her out to play.
Although Huston wanted to take him to the amusement park and other places, there were too many
people and he had no experience in taking care of children. If something happened to him, he would be

It just so happened that Mr. Lloyd had called to ask to see his great-grandson. At first, Huston did not
agree immediately. After asking for Evelyn's opinion, she agreed to take the child there.
To match the color of the child's jacket, Huston deliberately found a dark blue one. He secretly wanted
to try on a parent-child outfit. He had a good figure, and Lucas was also very handsome. The effect of
standing together was surprisingly good.
They drove back to the old house. Before getting out of the car, Lucas was a little nervous and uneasy.
He looked around at the villa in front of him with his big eyes.
Realizing this, Huston was not in a hurry to let him get out of the car. Instead, Huston comforted him
softly, "Dad knows that I scared you last time, but I promise that it won't happen again, okay?"
Mr. Lloyd didn't do anything to him last time, but his expression was very serious, which made Lucas
subconsciously afraid of him. He raised his chubby little hand and asked, "Will you give me an injection
again this time?"
He was talking about the last time Mr. Lloyd did a paternity test behind their backs.
Huston's heart ached and he pulled the child into his arms. "No, Daddy is here. Don't be afraid."
