When Huston came downstairs for dinner, Evelyn was already tired of playing with Lucas. Huston washed his hands and sat down. Looking at the two people at the dining table, he raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "You're not leaving today?"
It was a normal sentence, but when she heard it, she felt that he was teasing her.
She looked away unnaturally and hummed like a mosquito. "Yes."
After that, she added, "Lucas said that he had made an appointment to climb up with you and wanted to stay here."
She just wanted to tell him that she didn't want to stay, but the child wanted to stay. She was just worried about keeping the child company.
But she didn't know that her tone was full of lies.
Huston knew that she was shy and was afraid that if he teased her again, she would run away on the spot. He did not say anything else, but looked at her meaningfully. "Let's have dinner."
She secretly heaved a sigh of relief and ate while taking care of Lucas.
She hadn't tasted the food made by Sadie for five years. At this time, she missed it very much and sighed with emotion.
"You're better at cooking than before, Sadie." She rarely ate greasy food at night, but when she saw the stewed sausage with cream, she couldn't help picking up a lot.
"It's good that you like it. I'm good at nothing but cooking!" Sadie was also happy to hear that.
"By the way, is your son married?"
"He got married last year. He's not young anymore. We had been urging him to get married."
It wasn't until nine o'clock in the evening that Lucas was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. Evelyn helped him wash up and took out a storybook by the bed to read to him slowly.
It didn't take long for Lucas to fall asleep. Looking at the child's peaceful sleeping face, Evelyn's eyes softened. She lowered her head, kissed the child's forehead, and held him in her arms.
Perhaps because Lucas smelled like his mother, he wrapped his arms around her body and slept soundly.
After the dinner, Huston sat in the living room and watched TV. Most of the time, it was the finance channel, where many experts chatted with each other. Most of the content was something he had known two months ago.
In the financial industry, the most important thing was the efficiency of information. Only by paying attention to the changes in the financial industry in real time could one accurately find the right direction.
So he didn't pay much attention to it. One ear went in and the other went out.
