Chapter 754 Betrayal So Soon
Lucas thought for a moment and shook his head. “No, I want to be with Mom.”
Although he said that he didn’t want to, in fact, she could see the disappointment in his eyes. It was as if she was forcing the child to make a choice.
This was not something that he should have considered at his age, but now he had to consider it.
“Here comes the chicken noodle soup.” Sadie placed the soup in front of her. The color was bright and it smelt pleasant. Just looking at it made Evelyn feel hungry.
She scooped up a spoonful and blew on it before handing it to Lucas. “Would you like to try it?”
“I’ve had it at noon. Mom, you can eat!” Lucas said as he got down from her body and sat aside obediently, not disturbing her from eating.
As she drank the soup, she was thinking what the child had just said. She didn’t even know when Huston had come downstairs.
He didn’t eat anything at noon, so Sadie served him another bowl. The man picked up the spoon and it made a crisp sound when it hit the edge of the bowl. Only then did she come to her senses.
Harrow eyes, Huston said softly, “What
are you thinking about? Why are you so absorbed in your thoughts?”
She lowered her head again, her face almost buried in the bowl. “Nothing.”
“How does it taste?”
“Very good.”
“Then eat more, in case you get hungry later. There’s nothing else to eat at home.”
When Lucas heard this, he immediately complained to Evelyn, “That’s right, Mom. You have to eat more. Mr. Lloyd doesn’t have any snacks here. He won’t allow me to eat them!”
Evelyn had only been asking Lucas to eat fewer snacks, but Huston just forbade him from eating them. However, the children all liked snacks, and they would always think about it.
Huston’s actions were completely due to the psychological trauma from last time’s accumulation of food. He was especially afraid that the child would fall ill again due to other issues. Furthermore, the snacks were not nutritious, so he’d better not eat them if possible.
“Didn’t I buy you some fruits? The fruits are more delicious than snacks.”
Ale donuls and strawberry puddings.”
“It’s not good for you to eat too much sweetness.” It was rare for Evelyn to reach an agreement with Huston. Although she was unwilling to admit it in her heart, she couldn’t help muttering, “You still want to stay here even though we have snacks at home?”
Lucas played with his fingers. “Mom, if you allow me to eat snacks, then I can leave.”
Evelyn was rendered speechless.
Huston?
Well, he didn’t even have time to be happy for a second before he was doused by a basin of cold water.
Lucas abandoned his father for the sake of snacks. Good for you, son.
She suddenly felt that it was a joke that she was jealous because of this matter just now. It turned out that it was so easy for Lucas to betray Huston…
She coughed dryly and said, “You can eat snacks, but not now. I’ll buy some for you in a few days.”
“Really?” Lucas asked, his eyes shining. Those who did not know the truth would think that he had obtained some extraordinary treasure. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
She nodded. “It’s true. You’ll lose your teeth if you eat too much sugar. Do you want your teeth to turn black?”
Hearing this, Lucas was so scared that he quickly shook his head. “No.”
“Then listen to me.”
“I’ll listen to you.” Lucas pouted. Although he was a little unhappy, he didn’t continue to ask for anything willfully.
After dinner, she was a little conflicted about how to tell him that she was leaving. In fact, it was not that she didn’t know how to say it. If it was like before, she would definitely leave without hesitation.
But now, the child wanted to stay, and he kept a low profile. If she insisted, it would make her look like a bad person.
