Huston remained silent. One hand supported the crystal glass on the table, while the other naturally
rested on his leg. Even sitting outdoors, his posture exuded an elegant demeanor akin to that of a
nobleman. The tenderness in his eyes spoke volumes, conveying everything without the need for
words.
It was certain that he must have carefully considered before using the diamond ring to express his
feelings.
Matt’s words were shocking. “When are you going to get married?”
Huston looked at him with amusement. “There’s no rush. Not
the best time yet.”
Although he had already made up his mind about Evelyn, marriage was not just a matter between two
people. His grandparents have strong prejudices against Evelyn, so he would have to invest some
effort in changing their views.
In the restroom, after taking care of her personal needs,

placed it aside. After washing and drying her hands, she carefully put the ring back on.
Mabel looked at her and felt that she was cute. “The diamond
ring won’t be worn out so easily. You don’t have to take it off.”
Evelyn was well aware of it, but since it was her first day wearing the ring, she treasured it even more
and was reluctant to let it touch anything else. “I apologize for the inconvenience,” she said with a slight
smile.
Mabel shook her head with a smile and said enviously, “Mr.
Lloyd is so nice to you.”
Such a proud man was willing to lower his head and do all this for her. It was not only rare but also
enviable to others. Many women desired to be with him, yet he chose to bestow all his goodness upon
her alone.
Feeling a little shy by her words, Evelyn casually found another topic to talk about. “Have you been
busy in the hospital recently?”
Speaking of work, Mabel was full of bitterness. “It’s okay to be busy, but the main problem is…”
She lowered her voice, leaned closer, and said, “Doctor Lane has been a little moody recently, which
made me panic.”
Kevin?
“Really?” Evelyn could somewhat believe it when it came to Huston, but she couldn’t believe it when it
came to Kevin.
In her heart, among all the good friends around Huston, only Kevin could be considered a relatively

He’ll find something to nitpick about even if there aren’t any. I don’t know why he seems to have a
problem with me.” Mabel had a helpless expression, feeling mentally exhausted from being constantly
scrutinized.
Evelyn was a little confused. “I think Doctor Lane likes you a
lot.”
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought Mabel to their
gathering.
Mabel herself didn’t quite understand. She sighed long and
said, “Well, maybe.”
Seeing her sad face, she didn’t ask any more questions. When they returned to the table, they had
almost finished their meal. The men were discussing the group activity for the
At this moment, Kevin’s phone suddenly rang.
He glanced at the caller ID and quickly picked it up. “Hello, it’s Kevin… What? Find the bottle of yellow
pills right now and let her take two. I’ll be right there!”
The sudden phone call silenced everyone, and Kevin hung up the phone after a few brief instructions.
He stood up abruptly, his expression tense and his face filled with worry. “Huston, we need to go to the
villa in the northern part of the city right away. Something unexpected has happened to Mia.”
