Chapter 404 What’s Your Relationship With Him Now?

After the car disappeared from her sight, Evelyn turned

around and went upstairs with many items in her hands. She was sweating profusely when she

reached the fourth floor.

Just as she stood at the door, before she could even knock,

Lucy walked out from inside the door. “I heard some noise just

now. Why did it take you so long to come up… Wait. Are you

moving?”

Seeing the pile of things in her hand, Lucy quickly stepped forward to help her carry a few.

After entering the room, Ben was a little surprised to see the

pile of things carried by them. “What are these?”

Evelyn bent down and put the things down. She didn’t

know how to explain it and made up an excuse. “This is the

company’s welfare for this year. I also bought some for myself.

I can’t use all these, so I get them back for you.”

“Humph.” Ben walked over and glanced at the bag. He

obviously didn’t believe it. “Do you think your mother and I are

fools? Can you afford these things?”

look down on me too much.”

raly and muttered, “Dad, you

When Ben worked in politically-related jobs before, he often received gifts from various people. There

was a wide variety of gifts, and although he didn’t accept them, he was familiar with and understood the

practice. These items were definitely not something that Evelyn could afford with just a few months’

salary.

Lucy casually opened one of the bags, inside of which was the latest model of a smartphone. She

immediately frowned and covered the items back up. “Evelyn, where did you get these things from?”

she asked with a hint of concern.

Seeing that she couldn’t hide it anymore, Evelyn could only tell the truth. “These are gifts from

Huston…”

“Huston?”

“Yes…” Evelyn lowered her head unconsciously. “He said it’s a small gesture of goodwill from him, and

he wants you to accept it.”

Actually, Huston’s exact words were that it was a small gesture of goodwill from him, and in the future,

he would formally visit them when there’s an opportunity. However, Evelyn didn’t dare to say the latter

half of the sentence,

aring that Ben would get upset and kick her out of the door.

Lucy and Ben looked at the gifts on the ground and then turned to look at each other. Their eyes were

full of conflict and entanglement.

Lucy took Evelyn’s hand and brought her to the sofa. “Evelyn, these things are expensive. We can’t

accept them. You should return them…”

“Mom, since these things are already here, let’s just keep

them at home. Once they are given, he can’t take them back.” Thinking about taking the things back

made Evelyn feel a headache. Knowing him well, she was certain they would end up arguing, and he

would definitely send them back again.

Hearing her words, Ben suddenly lost his temper. “What’s your relationship with him now? Your mother

and I can’t accept his things for no reason!”

Lucy and Ben had been honest and upright individuals. Despite spending a large part of his life in the

political arena, Ben didn’t exude the typical bureaucratic aura. He was a very principled person.

“Dad!” Hearing this, Evelyn was a little angry. “Who do you

think I am!”

“Then tell me, what’s going on?” asked Lucy, acting as a

mediator. She was afraid that Ben and Evelyn would quarrel again.

Evelyn sighed deeply. She had no choice but to tell them the truth. “Huston and I are a normal couple.

We’re dating now.”

“You shouldn’t accept such expensive gifts while dating,” Ben didn’t back down at all, pointing at the

numerous gift boxes on the floor. “Take all of these back!”

“Dad!” Evelyn was anxious and helpless. She knew what Ben cared about, but her relationship with

Huston was not as far as they thought. “These things are nothing to him.”

“How dare you!” The more Ben listened, the angrier he became. He raised his eyebrows and said,

“Even if these gifts mean nothing to him, you shouldn’t accept them. We have already told you about

this!”

She also became angry. Was that how they saw her? Do they think she was someone who always tried

to take advantage of others?
