Chapter 197 A Better Ideal
After seeing off Sean Jules, Suzy Carters sat on the sofa for a long time, seemingly lost in thought.
Jepson Smith stood upstairs, watching Suzy Carters motionless, feeling a bit worried. So he walked downstairs and sat beside Suzy Carters, asking with concern, “What did you two talk about? Why do you seem so absent-minded?”
Suzy Carters shook her head but didn’t answer Jepson Smith’s question. However, even a fool could see that Suzy Carters was not herself, let alone Jepson Smith, who was usually quite sensitive.
“Sis, let me give you some advice. There’s no difficulty that a person can’t overcome. Besides, you’re so smart, how could you possibly not see through it?” Jepson Smith said earnestly.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Suzy Carters turned to look at him, not knowing whether to laugh or be annoyed. “Actually, it’s nothing. I’m just thinking, why is there never a win-win solution in the world?”
Jepson Smith’s mouth twitched slightly. “Sis, you’ve escalated quickly. I, as a smart person, really don’t know what to say to you. If there were a win-win solution in the world, it would definitely hurt someone. So, as long as you’re happy, isn’t that enough?”
After saying this, Jepson Smith even proudly lifted his head, seeming very satisfied with what he had just said.
Suzy Carters had nothing to say to his self-assurance. But after his little performance, all her worries disappeared.
Suzy Carters stretched lazily and said, “Well, I’m fine now.”
Wait a minute…
She suddenly looked at Jepson Smith, who was lost in thought, and her eyebrows twitched slightly. His loose lips were the most dangerous.
After thinking for a moment, she warned, “If you dare to exaggerate this matter and tell Grandpa and the others, I’ll make sure Cherry never talks to you again.”
With that, Suzy Carters went upstairs satisfied.
Behind her, a petrified Jepson Smith only realized after a long time… what kind of little devil he had provoked.
“Well, such is fate,” Jepson Smith sighed.
On the other side, Sean Jules, sitting in the nanny car, looked out the window without saying a word the whole way.
Seeing Sean Jules like this, his assistant couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. “Why do you have to do this? What’s the point of throwing yourself into the fire?”
Sean Jules remained silent.
The assistant sighed. “You have a shoot later, it’ll probably start as soon as we arrive. There’s no time for rest.”
“Okay,” Sean Jules responded softly.
The assistant, knowing there was no other way, turned to look at the scenery outside.
In the evening, just as Suzy Carters finished washing up and sat on the bed, she heard her phone ring with a video call.
Picking up her phone, she saw it was Evan Hughes calling. A smile unconsciously formed on her lips as she answered the call.
“Good evening,” Suzy Carters said sweetly.
On the other end, Evan Hughes seemed to be sitting at his desk. Upon hearing her voice, he adjusted his phone so that Suzy Carters could see him clearly.
“Have you had dinner?” Evan Hughes asked gently.
Suzy Carters nodded and leaned against the headboard. “And you?”
“I’m done. Do you want to guess what I had?” Evan Hughes asked with a smile.
Suzy Carters thought for a moment and said, “Let me guess. You probably had steak for dinner!”
Evan Hughes put down the document in his hand, his lips curved into a smile, and he asked, “How did you guess?”
“Because you’re abroad, and steak isn’t a very common food there, is it?”
“You’re really clever,” Evan Hughes praised. “What are you planning for tomorrow?”
“Well…” Suzy Carters thought carefully. “Today my agent asked if I wanted to film, saying that many scripts were looking for me recently, but after careful consideration, I turned them all down.”
“Don’t you like acting?” Evan Hughes asked as he leaned back in his chair.
“I do, but it’s too tiring. Besides, I have higher pursuits. I don’t want to waste my talent,” Suzy Carters said, yawning.
As if infected by her, Evan Hughes also yawned. Though not tired, a hint of drowsiness emerged.
Seeing this, Suzy Carters teased, “Are you tired?”
“You’ve infected me,” Evan Hughes said with a smile.
Suzy Carters hummed, then rolled over in bed, eventually lying on her side, watching the man.
Although the video call was a bit blurry, it couldn’t hide Evan Hughes’ handsome face.
As Evan Hughes reached for a file, Suzy Carters couldn’t help but admire his handsomeness.
“Haven’t finished yet?”
Evan Hughes immediately pushed the file aside and looked at Suzy Carters, saying, “I can finish later. Can I be busy tomorrow?”
Suzy Carters was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood his intention. Understanding him, she said empathetically, “It’s okay, you do your work. Just leave me aside, I’ll watch you.”
Evan Hughes looked at her, as if probing the truth behind Suzy Carters’ words.
Helpless, Suzy Carters said, “Really, I’m not lying. Just leave me aside.”
As long as she could see him, she was happy.
“Okay, wait for me for a while, it’ll only be about half an hour,” Evan Hughes said.
Seeing Suzy Carters nod, Evan Hughes placed his phone on the bookshelf, giving Suzy Carters a perfect profile.
Suzy Carters watched him working seriously, a smile unconsciously appearing on her face, her eyes showing a hint of infatuation towards Evan Hughes.
Yeah, such a handsome man was hers.
But who knew how long it had been, when Evan Hughes had time to look at his phone again, he found Suzy Carters had already fallen asleep.
“Suzy?” he called softly.
Suzy Carters didn’t respond. Evan Hughes called out again, “Suzy?”
But Suzy Carters just pursed her lips, turned over, and accidentally knocked the phone off.
Evan Hughes looked at the ceiling on the screen of his phone, feeling helpless.
The next morning, when Suzy Carters woke up, she suddenly sat up, then looked around for her phone. Eventually, she found it on the floor, which had automatically shut down due to low battery.
“Tsk, falling asleep like that, you’re unbelievable!” Suzy Carters said regretfully.
After charging and turning it on, the first message that popped up was from Evan Hughes.
Evan Hughes: [I’ll be busy today. I’ll be back tomorrow. Don’t worry, I won’t provoke other women.]
Suzy Carters couldn’t help but chuckle, feeling sweet inside. However, the message was sent an hour ago by Evan Hughes, so as not to disturb his work, Suzy Carters chose not to reply.
