Chapter 290 Being Overly Sentimental
As soon as he finished speaking, even Huston looked at him with a trace of surprise and bewilderment
in his sharp eyes.
Evelyn felt that her head, which was already hot and swollen, was even heavier. “Matt, Grace is my
best friend. If you do this,
1…”
Halfway through her sentence, she couldn’t go on. Both sides. were familiar acquaintances. Grace had
been her close friend for many years, and Matt had provided her with considerable support at work.
Saying something too extreme was difficult for her, so she had to leave it at that.
Seeing that her body was swaying unsteadily, Huston’s
fingers, which were on the side of his thigh, clenched tightly. He was afraid he would be unable to
control himself and step forward to pull her into his embrace.
Matt sighed slightly. “Evelyn, this is between me and her. I’ll take care of it. I know you’re good friends,

okay?”
Evelyn held her breath. “I know I shouldn’t interfere in this matter, and I’m not in a position to do so, but
Grace is my best friend. If it’s just an accident for you, I hope it will be over.”
Since what had happened could not be erased, she did not want Grace to suffer any more harm
because of this matter.
Upon hearing her words, Matt’s calm and composed expression finally showed a hint of ripples. Her
statement undoubtedly conveyed that if he didn’t like her, he should stay away and avoid causing harm.
All kinds of things that happened last night suddenly flashed through Matt’s mind, including Grace’s
white and dazzling skin, her emotional and watery eyes, and the bright red color
on the bed sheet that came into his eyes when he left…
The office fell into a brief silence. The air seemed to have
frozen, and Evelyn could not even breathe. Suddenly, the man
sitting next to her moved. Evelyn unconsciously followed him
out of the corner of her eye. It was Huston who had moved her
legs.
His long, straight legs, wrapped in trousers, appeared even more powerful. He slightly spread his legs
and straightened his upper body. His lips moved, and his voice was cold and ruthless. “If you know you
shouldn’t meddle, then don’t meddle.”
His words carried three parts frustration and seven parts genuine concern for her well-being.
Unfortunately, last night’s argument had left Evelyn in a state of hostility, rendering her unable to listen
to anything he said. She only wanted to retort, “I told you, she is my best friend…”
Without waiting for her to finish, Huston interrupted her directly. “Best friend? Have you forgotten what
happened before? Do you think she will appreciate it if you treat her
well?”
He was mocking her with what Maura had done before. Evelyn could hear it, but she was sad.

Everything in the past would always be a scar on her heart, and these words undoubtedly sprinkled salt
on her wound.
In his heart, she deserved it. It was all her own fault.
Evelyn blinked her eyes rapidly, and all the emotions in
her heart turned into tears welling up in her eyes. She self-mockingly tugged at the corner of her lips,
but the heaviness in her heart made it impossible to muster a
smile. She asked, “All right then. Consider it me being overly
sensitive. Are you satisfied now?”
After that, Evelyn turned around and walked out. She didn’t
stay for even a second, as if it would kill her if she stayed any longer.
Looking at the slender figure that had disappeared from his sight, Matt turned to ask Huston, “Did you
quarrel?”
Huston kept staring at that figure until the door blocked it, and then he retracted his gaze. “Well, there’s
been too much going on lately, and I couldn’t spare the time. She intentionally provoked me again and
got herself drunk at the bar last night. Before I could take care of her, she started causing a scene and
venting her emotions at me.”
