Chapter 156 A Birthday Surprise for Him 02

Evelyn picked up the phone on the table. From the time she got off work until now, he had called her for three times. She tried. hard not to answer the phone. Anyway, there was a location, so he should know that she was at home.

Thinking of this, Evelyn didn’t reply. Instead, she sat in the living room and waited him.

From six o’clock to seven o’clock, the clock gradually moved to eight o’clock. Until nearly nine o’clock, he still didn’t appear. Evelyn gradually couldn’t wait. Even if Huston worked overtime, he should come back.

Could it be that there was a social engagement? It can’t be that bad, can it?

She picked up the phone and was relieved. After hesitating for a while, she dialed his number. Unexpectedly, no one answered. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Disappointed, Evelyn fell onto the couch behind her and looked at the ceiling in a daze. “Where did you go so late at night?”

At the same time, Huston couldn’t get through to Evelyn, so she asked Sam to locate her. Knowing that she was at home, he was relieved and drove north of the city.

Forty minutes later, the car drove into an antique old house. A kind woman in her forties came to welcome him. “Finally you are here, Mr. Lloyd. They have been waiting for the whole afternoon. Please go in.”

Huston nodded and didn’t say anything else as he quickly walked into the house.

The interior decoration and the exterior complemented each other. They were all high–quality mahogany furniture, each of which cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. The landscape paintings hanging on the wall were the paintings of the most famous writers in modern times, which were priceless.

Hearing the voice, the old man sitting on the wooden chair in the living room turned around with joy in his eyes. “Huston?”

A faint smile finally appeared on Huston’s apathetic face. “Grandmother, Grandfather.”

“Come here and let me have a look.” The elderly man was Huston’s grandmother. She took his hand, and her eyes were full of joy. “You only come here once a year. Your grandfather and I miss you very much. I think you have lost weight again. Don’t be too tired at work.”

Huston readily agreed. “I understand, Granny.”

“Just agree to it. Do what you need to do!”

Huston smiled and didn’t say anything.

“Let’s eat. It’s your birthday today. Your grandma has been busy since this afternoon. She made it herself.”

The three of them walked into the dinning hall, and the table was filled with dishes that had a slightly sweet and sour taste. Huston remembered that he used to love this kind of flavor when he was a child, but after studying abroad, his taste gradually became more accustomed to a lighter diet.

Huston sat down. The old man filled a large bowl of rice for him. He didn’t eat on time all year round and couldn’t eat so much. However, he still forced himself to eat it all.

During the meal, Huston was a little absent–minded.

Occasionally, he would think of the little woman at home. Today was his birthday, but she knew nothing about it. He didn’t know what she was doing now.

“Huston, you’re not young anymore. It’s time for you to have a girlfriend. Your grandfather and I are looking forward to you getting married as soon as possible. There will be someone to take care of you,” the old man suddenly said and advised him. earnestly. “We don’t ask for much. As long as she is an innocent little girl, it’s enough. It doesn’t matter if her family is poor. The main thing is that you two can get along well.”

Huston paused and looked down at his bowl. “I understand. I’ll do it as soon as possible.”

“Also, you and your mother should come here more often in the future. Usually, your mother will come, and you should come with her. After all, you are a mother and son. It is not easy for

your mother to bring you up. We can’t be estranged from cach other.” The old man’s eyes were a little red.

In fact, over the years, Huston’s mother, Cathy Ivan, had another child after her divorce. It would definitely be awkward for her to reorganize the family. For Huston, he was like an outsider. He had studied abroad for four years and returned to work, so it was inevitable for him to feel awkward.

But in the end, it was the wishes of the two elders, so Huston naturally didn’t say anything further and agreed to it.

After dinner, he was in a hurry to leave. The old man looked at the time and said, “Why are you in such a hurry to leave? There’s no one at home to accompany you. Why don’t you stay here tonight?”

Huston refused without hesitation. “No need, Grandma. I still have work to do when I get back. I’ll visit you and Grandpa another day.”

On the way back, Huston received a call from Cathy Ivan. It was nothing more than wishing him a happy birthday. Every year, she would say such dry words. In fact, he didn’t feel anything long ago, not even disappointed.

For so many years, he had always gone to school, graduated, started his own company, and made his own money. Even if part of it was for his family, he had never asked for any response.

Cathy Ivan had treated him well, at least in her heart. However, with Renee Lloyd around, she had a new family and a new

take care of him.

The further they went to the Royal Villa, the more remote the road became. The rich district was usually in the suburbs with better air. The winding mountain road led to a dark night that enveloped the car, making it look a little desolate.

Huston stepped hard on the accelerator, and the car sped away, leaving the night behind him. He was afraid that he would be tainted by the night’s darkness and lose sleep again.

The car stopped in the yard. The man looked up at the villa in front of him. There was no light on in the villa. She must have fallen asleep.

The disappointment in his heart grew stronger and stronger. Huston took out a cigarette and lit it on his fingertips. He smoked very quickly, and every puff was fierce and urgent. The spicy gas poured into his lungs and stimulated his nerves. Only when he came to his senses, did he sober up a little. He put out the cigarette, got out of the car, and walked into the villa.

The sensor light on the porch lit up. Before he could change his shoes, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

The pale blue balloons were piled up on the roof, and the silver ropes fell in the air to create a lively atmosphere. Not far away, he could also see the cake and steak on the table in the restaurant. The candlestick had been ordered and was already half–burnt.

Everything came into view. His black pupils

trembled violently. The strong heartbeat in his chest drowned out the sound. He looked around the living room and couldn’t wait to find the woman who arranged all this.
