Chapter 440 I’m Serious. I Want to Resign
“It doesn’t matter whether you mean it or not because you’ve already done it.” Evelyn had never known
that one day she would be so resistant to contact with him. It was so serious
that she didn’t even want to hear his voice.
He had brought her so much pain that her love was about to disappear. She didn’t know how long she
could hold on.
Huston didn’t want to argue with her and knew that the two of them weren’t in a stable mood. After
calming down, he said, “Let’s go downstairs for dinner first. You still have a low fever. The doctor said
that you can’t have an empty stomach. You can’t take medicine until you finish eating.”
Evelyn took a deep breath. “I want to go home.”
When she said she wanted to go home, it was definitely not
this home, but Lucy and Ben’s.
Huston frowned and was worried about her current situation.
“How are you going to go home like this?”
“I’ll take a taxi.” Evelyn didn’t want to say another word,
showing an unprecedented coldness in her attitu

“Evelyn.” Huston’s voice was low and deep, tinged with a hint of hostility, but he suppressed it in the
end. “Stay here tonight. I’ll send you back tomorrow morning.”
Both of them were enduring each other. Seeing how
persistent he was, Evelyn’s heart did not waver in the slightest. She actually wanted to laugh. She did
not know what Huston was holding on to. They had already come to this point. What else was there
that he could not bear to part with? Could it be that he loved her?
Even if he loved her, Mia stood between them, and she
couldn’t accept it.
“You said you wanted to talk.” Evelyn was finally willing to turn around and look straight at Huston.
Huston’s eyes were gloomy, and undercurrents were surging
in his heart. “Yes.”
“Okay, I’ll talk to you.” After that, Evelyn went straight to the bedroom door without waiting for his
response. Huston could
only see her slender figure walking away. “Let’s go to the
study.”
Huston’s already furrowed brows grew even tighter, and his
thought of what she might say later, his heart began to palpitate with fear.
However, he couldn’t stop her. This negotiation would come sooner or later. The longer it dragged on,
the more she would
hate him.
Huston lowered his gaze, his eyelashes trembling slightly. He stood in place for a while, then walked
towards the direction Evelyn had left, his usually steady steps now carrying an imperceptible sense of
anxiety.
In the study, the window on the wall was open, and the dark gray gauze curtain was blown up. A
breeze swept past with a trace of coldness in the winter. Evelyn simply looked around,
and her eyes turned red again.
It was not that she was sentimental but that there were too many memories of them in this place. Now
it seemed that they were all ready to say goodbye.
Not long after, there came the orderly footsteps from behind.
It was Huston.
Evelyn quickly blinked and suppressed the bitterness in her eyes. She didn’t want to lose her

The door closed with a click. Just a moment ago, Evelyn
thought it was too cold to open the window, but now she felt relieved. She was grateful for the window
because otherwise, she would have felt suffocated.
Like when they had been alone countless times in the past, Huston walked to the swivel chair behind
the desk and sat down. His expression was calm, but there was a hint of tension. “Say whatever you
want to say,” he said.
She blinked and quickly calmed down. After a moment of silence, she wanted to sort out what she
wanted to say, but her mind was a mess. She couldn’t figure it out and could only speak as she
thought. “Huston, it’s been over half a year since we met. I handed in my resignation letter to the
company today. It wasn’t an impulsive decision; I have been contemplating it repeatedly over the past
month. So, I’m serious about wanting to resign.”
The two of them had just done something intimate, but at
this time, they were like strangers on the verge of separation.
Huston said, “Go ahead.” He narrowed his eyes and let her
continue.
