Chapter 678 I’m Here for You
“I’m going to ask Bert to come over.”
As soon as Grace heard the man’s name, he frowned. “Are you sure? If Mr. Harper gets involved in this
matter, he will probably go to extremes.”
“I don’t want to, but now I don’t have time to think about it.” As soon as she thought of what had
happened today, she panicked. “If the Lloyd family can take the child away today, they will do
something even more outrageous tomorrow. I can’t just sit around and wait.”
“What do you want to do with Huston?” She was asking about their relationship. They had been friends
for so many years, and she knew her very well. She could feel that Evelyn still had feelings for Huston
and that they loved each other very much.
Watching the two of them love each other but unable to be together, she, as an onlooker, felt
distressed.
Hearing this, she laughed at herself, and her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBeautiful eyes were full of loneliness and
helplessness. “Grace, love is too extravagant for me. I can’t afford it.”
When Bert received the call, he was in a meeting at the company. When his assistant handed over his
private phone and looked at the name on the screen, he was stunned for two seconds before he came
to his senses.
It was the first time she had taken the initiative to contact him since she returned to the country, and
Bert had restrained himself from disturbing her. He had been waiting for this call for a long time.
As a result, a group of executives watched their big boss holding his mobile phone and walking out of
the conference room with a cold and arrogant face. He walked so fast that his feet were like a gust of
wind.
For Bert, who had never answered a phone call in a meeting, this behavior surprised everyone present.
The assistant had no choice but to clear his throat and explain, “Our boss is dealing with the business.
Wait a minute.”
Bert walked into the office and closed the door behind him. As soon as the door was locked, he
answered the phone almost at the same time. “Evelyn?”
“It’s me.” The woman’s familiar soft voice came from the other end of the phone, but it had already
swept away the gloom and irritation in his heart for several days.
“Is it convenient for you to talk now?”
Bert walked to the French windows and completely forgot about the meeting. “It’s convenient. Tell me.”
She stood in the quiet room with her back against the cold wall, feeling a little cold. She closed her
eyes sadly and said, “You’re right. Maybe I really shouldn’t have come back this time.”
Bert was no longer in a good mood. The relief on his face froze in an instant. His first reaction was that
something had happened to Evelyn.
When he spoke again, his voice was much lower. “What happened?”
“The Lloyd family found out about the child. They secretly took the child to do a paternity test today,
and Lucas also found out about it.” When she spoke of it again, she felt uncomfortable. “They want to
keep the child.”
Bert could imagine what would happen. Although he was not related to the child by blood, he had seen

Without saying a word, he asked her directly and forcefully.
She felt a little guilty. “I’m sorry, Bert…”
“It doesn’t matter.” Before she could finish her words, the man decisively stopped her. “As I said, there’s
no need to talk about this between you and me. I’m not doing it for you. I’m doing it for the sake of the
child.”
Just to reduce her guilt, but he didn’t
know that the more he said that, the more she felt sorry for him.
“I feel like I’m a bad woman, rejecting you and asking you for help in the meanwhile. I don’t want you to
get involved, but I only have Lucas. I really can’t just watch the child…”
“I know, I know everything.”
Hearing her choked and trembling voice, Bert clenched his fists in his pockets and wished he could
appear in front of her now. “I’m happy that you can tell me everything. Evelyn, don’t be afraid. I’m here
for you. I’ll book the latest flight to Jewel City later. Wait for me, okay?”
She squatted down against the wall and choked with sobs. “Okay.”
