Chapter 331 Still Had Things to Do Later
When Evelyn ran downstairs, Sadie happened to bring out the food. She cooked noodles, which looked
delicious.
Evelyn offered to help fetch the tableware from the kitchen, but Sadie quickly intervened. “Please don’t.
I’ll take care of these tasks, Ms. Shelton. You don’t have to do them,” she said, trying to dissuade her.
“It’s fine. I see you’re busy. I can take it by hand,” Evelyn insisted.
“No, that’s what I should do. How can I let you do it?” Sadie took the tableware from her and placed it in
order. “If Mr. Lloyd sees it later, he’ll worry about you.”
Feeling slightly embarrassed under Sadie’s teasing gaze, Evelyn raised her hand to run her fingers
through her hair. “It’s all right. I used to do all the household chores myself before. Sadie, you don’t
have to be too formal. We don’t emphasize the employer–employee relationship here. Your coming to
work here is a kind of fate,” she said.
When Huston came downstairs, he happened to hear what
Hot Surprised at all. She was a kind person,
so she would never make things difficult for others.
It was also because of this kindness that he was deeply attracted to her.
Huston changed into comfortable home clothes. Sadie pulled out a stool for him and said, “Mr. Lloyd,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdinner is ready!”
Compared to Evelyn, Huston was not as easy to get along with. He nodded slightly to indicate he heard
it.
The two of them sat down, and Huston didn’t have the habit of talking while eating. Evelyn, on the other
hand, almost devoured her food. During the meal, apart from the sound of utensils clinking, there was
hardly any other sound.
Perhaps it was too quiet, and Huston began to feel somewhat uncomfortable. He turned his head to
look at Evelyn, who was enjoying her meal with a content expression. His eyes were filled with
tenderness. “Is the food to your liking?” he asked.
“It suits my taste perfectly! These culinary skills are amazing, even better than my mom’s,” Evelyn
exclaimed. Although Lucy’s cooking was delicious, there was still some gap compared to Sadie’s.
Huston’s lips curled up. “It’s good that you like it.”

she reached over to take it and ladled some soup for him. “Have some. It’s good for your health,” she
said.
As she spoke, she also placed a few pieces of chicken into his
bowl. “Eat up,” she said.
Huston looked at the steaming chicken on his plate and
recalled the last time someone had served him chicken, which was when he was around six or seven
years old. At
that time, he was the only child in the family, and his parents‘ relationship hadn’t completely broken
down yet. They always gave him chicken drumsticks to eat during festivals and
special occasions. Unfortunately, everything changed, and he never experienced that feeling again.
Seeing him staring at the chicken with a vacant expression,
Evelyn was about to say something when she suddenly noticed a hint of sadness in his eyes. It made
her feel uneasy in an instant. Trying to lighten the mood, she jokingly said, “Are
you feeling touched? I usually don’t serve chicken drumsticks to others, but I’ll make an exception for
you since you’re a patient.”
Huston snapped out of his thoughts and took a bite of the chicken. The meat was tender, flavorful, and
not greasy. “Not
bad,” he remarked.
He rarely complimented anyone, so Evelyn quickly turned to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSadle, you’re the first person whose cooking
skills have earned his praise.”
“Really? I feel so honored!” Sadie exclaimed upon hearing that Huston enjoyed the food. She felt a
sense of accomplishment in her heart.
They ate the meal with great satisfaction. Evelyn hardly stopped eating, consuming almost half of the
four dishes. She also had a bowl of soup. She felt so full that she lay on the couch and didn’t want to
get up.
Huston took a cup of warm water from the kitchen and handed it to her. She quickly waved her hand
and said, “No, I can’t drink anymore.”
“Drink some. We have something to do later.” Huston insisted on her drinking and handed her a glass
of water.
Seeing that she couldn’t refuse, Evelyn took a perfunctory sip. The food she had just eaten was almost
stuck in her throat. “What else do you want to do later?”
It was almost eight o’clock. Were they going out?
When he met her blank gaze, his eyes seemed to contain
countless stars shining brightly. He stared at her without
saying a word, and the emotions in his eyes gradually became
fervent.
seemed like she was starting to understand something
