Chapter 298 Just Stop
Evelyn felt wronged and helpless, and tears kept falling from her eyes. Before Huston could finish
wiping them, she burst into tears again.
When Huston heard her sobs, his heart broke into pieces. “Did
they blame you?”
Evelyn shook her head and didn’t know how to tell him. She feared he would quarrel with his
grandparents if she told him
too much.
However, Huston could guess the reason even if she didn’t mention it. Today, his grandparents had
come to make things
difficult for her, but they didn’t expect him to rush back
halfway.
Fortunately, he had come back. If he had not, how badly
would she have cried?
“My grandparents are traditional and conservative. When they were young, they were used to being

follow old-fashioned standards. You don’t have to take it to
heart. They won’t say anything more when they know what kind of person you are.” Huston raised his
hand and tucked her hair behind her ear. Looking at her tearful eyes, he bent
The salty tears slid into his mouth, and they were sour.
“I, I don’t blame them for thinking so. I just feel helpless…” After days of cold war and suspicion,
coupled with the blame of
his grandparents, she had suffered too much and was on the verge of collapse.
Huston held her tightly in his arms again and held her trembling back. “Don’t worry. I won’t let you face
it alone. I’ll think of a way to make them accept you, okay?”
“It’s so difficult.” Evelyn closed her eyes sadly. “Why is it so difficult…”
What might seem effortless to others felt like crossing a thousand mountains for her. When she
overcame one hurdle, there was always another waiting ahead. It felt like there was no end in sight.
“Don’t cry, or your eyes will swell up from crying, all right?” Huston helped her to the side of the bed
and sat down while
he knelt on one knee to look at her.
Evelyn felt the warmth of his palm, and her eyelashes were
still stained with tears. “I want to be alone.”
She had a lot of thoughts and emotions in her heart now, and
she couldn’t get rid of them for a while. She just wanted to sit alone for a while.
Just as Huston was about to speak, someone knocked on
the bedroom door. Then, Sir Lloyd’s hoarse voice rang out. “Huston, the TV suddenly stopped working.
Come down and help me take a look.”
Evelyn subconsciously raised her hand to wipe away the tears. on her face and hurriedly pushed
Huston away. “Go ahead.”
Looking at her sitting by the bed, Huston’s heart twisted painfully. The knocking on the door continued
to ring in his ears. He looked away and placed his hands on his waist. He let out a long breath before
turning to walk towards the door.
Huston opened the door and walked out. Soon, he closed the door to block the old man’s line of sight
from looking into the

Sir Lloyd was stunned. When he saw no one was following him, he slowly walked down the stairs.
Seeing his footsteps unsteady, Huston stepped forward to help him up to the first
floor.
Huston, the TV…”
“Just stop overdoing it.” Huston didn’t even look at the TV. His
handsome brows were furrowed, and it wasn’t difficult to tell
that he was impatient and frustrated at this moment.
Sensing that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, Madam Lloyd walked out of the kitchen
and stood between the two of them. She looked at Huston and said, “Huston, how can you talk to your
grandfather like that?”
“I know you’re dissatisfied with Evelyn. You think she’s not good enough for me. Today, you’ve been
making things difficult for her. Just because I didn’t speak up doesn’t mean I approve of your actions. I
simply believed you would have some boundaries and not go too far. But now it seems that’s not the
case.” His words were deliberate, and his tone showed a hint of firmness. Seeing how Evelyn cried like
that but refused to say a word shattered the last bit of his patience.
