Chapter 1107 Tomorrow's Flight Back
A pleasant trip turned into a mess due to an unexpected incident. After Alivia left, her phone remained off, so Bert
decided to spend the whole day with Lucas and only returned to Jewel City on Sunday evening.
Before he could even think about his next move, he received some unexpected news while handing Lucas over to
Grace.
"Evelyn and Huston will be flying back tomorrow," After putting Lucas in the car, the two adults stood outside the
car and chatted.
After hearing the news, Bert was stunned. He even thought that he had misheard, "What?"
"She's coming back," Seeing such an indifferent man stunned because of this, Grace couldn't help but think of
herself a few hours ago. Her eyes turned red when she heard the news, "You didn't hear wrong. Evelyn is finally
back."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe couldn't even finish a simple sentence calmly.
Just thinking about the blank messages during this period and the anxiety of not knowing her situation made her
unable to control her excitement and anticipation.
They were best friends, and when Evelyn faced trouble, apart from her family, Grace was the one she worried
about the most. She believed it was the same for Bert.
Seeing the man lost in thought, Grace knew she should give him some time alone to process everything, "She'll
probably get in touch with you when she's back. I'll get in the car first; Uncle Ben and Aunt Lucy are still waiting for
me."
Bert nodded slightly, acknowledging her, and watched the white Audi A6 disappear from his sight before retracting
his gaze.
He drove his own car back to his apartment in Jewel City, where he hadn't been for a long time. Before going
abroad, he had instructed someone to come and clean up in advance, so the place was relatively tidy.
He didn't turn on the lights and walked to the liquor cabinet, taking out a bottle of whiskey. He didn't mix it with
anything, just added ice cubes to the glass and started drinking.
He enjoyed the initial taste of strong liquor, the somewhat bitter and astringent yet aromatic flavor fascinated him,
but he was never a heavy drinker.
For those who played with capital, if they ever became dependent on alcohol, it wouldn't be long before their
downfall.
So, he constantly reminded himself to stay sober no matter the time or place.
But being sober for too long could be exhausting, and that's why he occasionally indulged in a small drink.
For example, at this moment, thinking about the woman he hadn't seen for half a year, remembering that familiar
yet unfamiliar face, and contemplating the absurdity of this trip, he wanted to drown himself in alcohol, even if only
for a moment.
From the moment Evelyn decided to return to her country, Huston had taken care of all the procedures at the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhospital in Yazton. Her condition had been better, and the wound healed well, but the scars still needed further
treatment.
As they boarded the plane back home, Kevin accompanied them. Kevin had put aside all surgeries and work during
their long time in a foreign land, and Huston noticed it all, keeping it in his heart.
On the plane, as she looked outside the window at the mostly white clouds and blue sky, Evelyn's emotions were
complicated. Thinking of J City, the unfamiliar city where she had a completely forgotten child, she couldn't help but
feel anxious.
Apart from the unease, her rapidly beating heart seemed to hold something else she couldn't put into words,
something like an instinct.
Sensing the fluctuation of emotions from the woman beside him, Huston moved his gaze away from the computer
screen and onto her somewhat pale profile. After a moment of contemplation, he reached out and pulled down the
window shade, "Don't overthink it, get some rest."
His deep voice resonated in her ears, soothing her heart a bit. Evelyn turned her head to look at him, her eyes
meeting his calm black ones, and surprisingly, her anxiety gradually calmed down.
