Chapter 323 Making up
While Evelyn went to the bathroom, Marcellus said in a low voice with a lingering fear, “I was scared to
death…”
Seeing his frivolous expression, Huston couldn’t be bothered
to pay attention to him. “If there’s nothing else, you should go. Don’t bother me anymore.”
“Huston, I’m here to see you. How can you break my heart like
this?”
“I’ll be fine without you here.”
Marcellus scratched his head innocently. “Are you really okay?”
Huston looked at him with amusement. “Yes, I can barely take
care of myself.”
Upon hearing that, Marcellus chuckled and began to flatter
him, “With Evelyn around, you don’t need to take care of
yourself…”
The two of them chatted for a while, and Huston thought
about the matter with Maura. Since he couldn’t leave the hospital yet, he entrusted this task to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMarcellus because he
had a wider network of contacts. “By the way, there’s someone I need you to help me investigate.”
“Who?”
“Maura Stella.” Huston sent Marcellus the personal information that Sam had just sent him. “The police
are also looking for her and haven’t found her yet. Ask someone in the underworld to inquire about her.
If there is any news, inform me as soon as possible.””
Marcellus glanced at the woman on the screen and nodded. “No problem.”
“I suspect that someone is helping her secretly. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been hiding alone for so
long.”
“Do you have any clues about the person who helped her?” Marcellus put away his phone. “I can
investigate together.”
Several faces flashed across Huston’s mind, but he excluded
them one by one. “Not for the time being.”
“Okay, I’ll investigate Maura first.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Evelyn opened the bathroom door. The two of them didn’t say
anything else tacitly.
Marcellus winked at Huston and said, “Then I’ll go first. I don’t
want to be the third wheel.”
Marcellus left quickly, and Evelyn watched his departing
figure, feeling a slight urge to laugh. “Marcellus doesn’t seem like he’s in his thirties at all. His mental
age is more like the twenties.”
“The enthusiasm he displays makes him appear very youthful.”
“He speaks in such a lively and natural manner, which is quite nice.” Evelyn took out a wet tissue and
wiped the tabletop. After waiting for a while without receiving a response, she looked up at Huston.
Huston stared at her expressionlessly. She blinked, looked around, and then looked at him. “Why are
you looking at me?”
Huston put away the things in his hands and looked straight at Evelyn. “Do you like the kind of man like
Marcellus?”
“What?” Evelyn was stunned by his question. What the hell is he talking about?
“Didn’t you praise him? Do you like him?”
Evelyn was baffled by his question and couldn’t help but laugh. “Why would I like him? I just think that
he has a good
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpersonality.”
“What’s so good about him? Why can’t I see it?” Huston replied
and then pretended to think fairly and objectively. “Compared to someone mature and composed like
me, he’s just an
immature youngster.”
Evelyn rolled her eyes inwardly and realized that he had been indirectly praising himself.
However…
Seeing his displeased but still restraining expression, Evelyn couldn’t help but want to laugh. She
walked over and leaned on the edge of the bed, saying, “What’s wrong? Are you jealous that I praised
Marcellus?”
Huston avoided her sly gaze and said in a cold voice, “No.”
Seeing him like this, Evelyn was even more certain. “Yes, you
are!”
Her chattering voice echoed in his ears, and the smugness in her tone couldn’t be concealed. It gave
Huston a headache. The needle on the back of his hand had just been removed. So he turned over
and pressed her beneath him.
They lay on this not-so-spacious hospital bed. Evelyn wanted to push Huston but didn’t dare to exert
too much force. Her
face instantly turned red, and she exclaimed, “What are you doing?”
