Chapter 747 Chase Her Again
Chapter 747 Chase Her Again
The more Huston thought about it, the more he felt pathetic and stifled. He carefully pondered the situation and grew increasingly frustrated. After half a minute, he abruptly sat up from the recliner and turned his head to look at the woman on the bed.
Caught in the act of stealing a glance, Evelyn quickly averted her gaze and pulled the blanket over her head, pretending as if nothing had happened.
The scene was undeniably comical.
Huston stood up and walked over to the edge of the bed. He could even see her shrink slightly when he approached.
She was naturally petite, with a slender and delicate figure. Now, with the white blanket covering her entire body, she seemed even more petite and delicate.
Huston felt a tinge of annoyance, irritated by her refusal and the provoking words she uttered. But as his gaze fell upon her delicate figure, he couldn’t help but soften.
She was not only the first woman to reject his confession, but also the person he loved the most-the mother of his child.
With these thoughts in mind, Iluston suddenly felt less anxious. After all, It has become an established fact, that she was single, just like him. What was there to fear?
“It’s fine if you don’t agree,” he continued, his voice magnetic and husky, “I haven’t properly pursued a woman before, so this could be my chance.”
His words landed on Evelyn’s heart with a resounding impact. She held her breath, feeling a warmth flush across her face. Did his words mean that he wanted to pursue her?
“I meant everything I said earlier. I know you haven’t completely let go of the past, but I will do my best to overshadow all the unpleasant memories. Although I’m not sure if I can succeed, I will give it my all.”
He spoke slowly and deliberately, each word falling into her ears. with a captivating allure that made her want to listen further.
But just as she anticipated more, the silence fell abruptly. As Evelyn grew impatient and was about to lift the blanket, a large hand suddenly descended from above.
Through the blanket, he lightly caressed her twice. This gesture was so familiar to Evelyn-countless times she had done the same to soothe Lucas’s little head.
That kind of feeling, filled with love, tenderness, and an irresistible desire to be close to her, she understood it well.
It made her heart race faster than any physical contact could. She couldn’t control herself.
When it came to dealing with someone like Huston, not only her, but any woman would find it difficult to resist. All she could do was keep herself from making a sound and quietly listen.
“This time, when you fell ill, it made me realize my true feelings. I can’t let go of you, nor can I let go of Lucas. Forcing you is
more painful for me than forcing myself. If I can’t make it difficult for you, then I’ll take a step back, because I believe in you. You still love me.”
In the end, his voice became unsteady, and his words sounded trembled. Evelyn covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes already brimming with moisture.
He was so infuriating, always able to say things that she herself didn’t want to admit.
It was clear that he had loved her once. Unlike Bert, he had always been unwavering in matters of the heart, believing that she was the one he wanted, and she felt the same way.
Evelyn struggled to hold back the welling sourness in her throat, fighting against it with all her might. But the next moment, a single sentence from Huston caused her tears to burst forth.
“I won’t let you go through what you experienced five years ago, or what you went through today. I will give you and our child the best of everything. Goodnight, my girl.”
