Chapter <b>622 </b>


    Eugene remained silent <i>for </i>a moment before his hoarse voice broke the silence. “Who User looked at Mnie, waiting for her answer.


    Mnie shook her head. “I’m just feeling a <i>bit </i>down.


    “I can tell.” Eugene closed hisptop and rxed his posture. His expression remained calm, but there was a slight twitch at the corner of his eyebrows. “Did Howarde to see you<i>?</i><i>” </i>he asked.


    “You’re thinking too much.”


    “Then was it Matthew?”


    Eugene fixed his gaze on her<b>, </b>and Mnie retorted while pinching her palm, “I’ve said I just got myself worked <b>up</b>.”


    Eugene chuckled. He lowered his gaze to conceal the emotions in them but then looked up again after a moment. “Mnie, has no one ever told you that you have plenty of tells when you lie?”


    Her fingers that were digging into her palm stiffened abruptly. However, she remained silent, evidently not wanting to continue the topic.


    Eugene did not press further. He calmly took his medicine and got ready to go back to work.


    After a moment of contemtion, Mnie hesitated before asking Eugene, “What kind of person do you think Howard is?”


    “Hypocritical, ostentatious, pretentious, greasy, and useless.” Eugene did not even raise his head as he spat out a string of adjectives<b>, </b>leaving Mnie momentarily stunned.


    However, considering the disgust she felt from the video, she felt Eugene’s description was probably


    urate.


    Before she could dwell on it further, Eugene’s voice rang out again. “Would you like to see what he has been up to these years?<b>” </b>


    Mnie looked up, and Eugene continued, “He’s quite surprising.”


    With Matthew’s video in mind, Mnie did not need to think twice to know what kind of surprises Howard had in store for her. She did not want to disgust herself any further..


    Eugene raised an eyebrow. “Looks like what you saw today was quite intense.


    Mnie could not stand such remarks. Just hearing them made her nauseous. She covered her mouth with her hand and rushed into the bathroom<b>, </b>retching uncontrobly.


    Leaning against the sink, she felt like her insides were about to spill out from her body. After struggling topose herself, she straightened up. A bottle of water was being handed to her.


    Eugene stood outside the door, his dark eyes fixed on her. Tears of difort welled up in Mnie’s


    eyes, blurring her vision and preventing her from seeing Eugene’s expression clearly.

    After a momentary pause, she took the bottle of water from his hand and thanked him hoarsely. In her dazed state, she thought she heard a faint sigh. When she looked up again, Eugene was no longer


    at the door.


    Eugene took <b>his </b>medicine. Although Mnie had bought the medication ording to his allergies, she was still worried that he might have some adverse reactions since he was sensitive to medications.


    She decided to wait and observe Eugene while chatting with Yvonne on the sofa. However, perhaps due to the tension of the evening, she soon felt drowsy.


    Checking her phone, she realized only ten minutes had passed. She had decided to observe Eugene for an hour. Mnie was exhausted, and her temples throbbed. She ced her phone beside her and decided to rest for just 15 minutes.


    When Eugene emerged, he found Mnie curled up on the sofa<b>, </b>sound asleep. She was breathing softly and deeply.
