Chapter 400 Staying by My Side Is Enough
Evelyn’s heartbeat quickened, and she didn’t know what he was up to, but her anticipation had already
begun. Reluctantly murmuring under her breath, she slowly closed her eyes.
After a few seconds of silence, she keenly sensed that the man just above her body had left. Then,
within a few more seconds, she suddenly felt a cool sensation on her right ankle.
Evelyn instinctively pulled her foot back, but a warm palm caught it. The hand gently looped a chain
around her ankle with patience and meticulousness.
“Open your eyes.”
With permission, Evelyn immediately opened her eyes and sat straight from the bed. She raised her
right leg and narrowed her eyes to see a thin chain on her foot. The chain was made of white platinum,
with a small red diamond between each link. It looked like a row of short tassels but was very

The connection between the two ends featured a large green
gemstone. It is often said that red and green are a tacky combination, but this chain gave no hint of
such a sentiment. The two colors complemented each other perfectly, creating a captivating sight that
was hard to look away from.
“When did you buy it…” Evelyn was touched. She didn’t expect to receive a gift.
“It was custom-made a month ago.” Huston squatted down and looked at the woman sitting by the bed.
He teasingly said, “Didn’t you say you were unhappy about your year-end bonus being deducted? This
ankle chain is worth much more than your year-end bonus.””
He looked into her big red eyes and leaned over to kiss her lips. “Thank you for your hard work in the
company in the past half a year, Evelyn.”
Evelyn covered her mouth and looked at him in disbelief. The delicate chain on her foot also seemed to
have captured her heart, and her eyes became misty. “I didn’t prepare anything. I’m sorry…”
Compared to his attentiveness, she felt a little embarrassed.
Huston raised his hand and touched the top of her head. “Silly girl, you don’t need to do anything.
Staying by my side is enough.”
“Huston…” Evelyn was so moved that she couldn’t say anything. She could only gaze at him foolishly,
wishing she could etch his face into her heart. Sniffling, she was overwhelmed with emotions and
blurted out, “I want to be your employee for a lifetime, to always stay in your company!”
“Don’t you have any greater ambitions?” Huston looked up at her and met her blank eyes. He reminded
her considerately, “I don’t lack employees or loyalty. I happen to need a wife. What do you think?”
Evelyn’s eyes widened, just like a bull’s eyes. She was too shocked. What did he say? Wife?
This was the first time he had said this word to her since they knew each other. Previously, he would
call her his girlfriend at most, but now he wanted her to be his wife…

Her heart was beating faster and faster, and she was
so nervous that she almost vomited. He always acted so
unexpectedly, and she couldn’t keep up with his unpredictable
moves.
However, Huston seemed unsatisfied, as if it wasn’t enough. His eyes, as dark as obsidian, gazed at
her intently. “There’s a
vacant position right here. Why don’t you fill it for now? In the
company, you’re my employee, and at home…”

Evelyn’s heart was stirred by him, and she understood the meaning of “heartbeat.” When you see
someone you like, every word they say, every glance they give, brings you joy.
That was how she felt when she looked at Huston. She wanted to hide in his arms and hug him tightly.
