Finding Love in the Boss’s Embrace After Divorce novel Chapter 676

But in the end, he couldn't say those to a child, so he could only continue to make up a lie to make it less ridiculous. "Because I'm too busy, and there are many things to do."

Lucas understood what he meant, but he couldn't help frowning. He didn't say anything else and just said calmly, "Mom worked hard."

Tears immediately fell from Evelyn’s eyes. She suddenly covered her mouth, for fear that she would cry out loud.

"I know." Huston tried his best to suppress the surging emotions in her heart. He did not want to appear so weak in front of the child. "So, I will protect you and Mom from any harm in the future."

"But it seems that my great-grandfather and great-grandma don't like me very much." Children were always the purest in the world. Anyone who treated them badly could be directly felt. From what the two old people had done today, the child didn't feel any kindness.

Evelyn wiped away the tears on her face and grabbed the child's hand. "It's okay, Lucas. Mom will protect you."

She didn't have time to explain to the child. She just wanted to leave this unpleasant place as soon as possible. "You don't have to send me off, even if it's to give the child some space."

All of Huston's words were gagged by her. That's right, what else could he say? Even adults would find such a situation troublesome, let alone a child. Forcing it to happen now would only make the little fellow feel even more uncomfortable.

So, he took a step back and said, "Okay, I'll ask the driver to send you off. Don't refuse me anymore. I'm worried about you."

She pursed her lips and didn't say anything. She knew that this was already the man's biggest concession, so she held the child's hand and waited at the gate of the villa.

She had deprived him of his right to be a father and made up such a ridiculous excuse. The child's impression of him was completely blank, but he knew that he had forced her to have no choice back then. He did not blame her.

But today, he knew the existence of the child, and the child also knew his existence. He would never be like five years ago.

Her mind was in a mess. Seeing the persistence in the man's eyes, she knew that he couldn't give in on this matter, so she tried her best to suppress her resistance.

If she argued with him at this critical moment, it would not end well. If she did not allow him to see her child and draw a clear line between them, she might not even be able to walk out of this villa now.

Since she had come to Jewel City, she had to find a way to leave smoothly without arousing his suspicion.
