Chapter 28

While Jasen didn't say anything, he agreed with some parts of Mason's will. Mason jested at Lucas and said assuredly, “I think Evelyn’s trying to compete with Tiffany. Tiffany showed an interest in drones, to the point of posting on art. Tillarry became interested in Kelautan, so she started working at Buying Sealdem.”

Die was more experienced with the ways of women, the law, and men. Women whose composure was unsettled would become unpredictable and troublesome.

Lucas offered no reply, and his phone started ringing; it was Maria. He got up and headed out to take the call.

Marla harrumphed coldly. “What about you? Are you spending time with…”

Taccheld his fechend. He'd been in close relations with someone else barely. “Do you think this is inappropriate?” Maria was…

Maria cried out in dismay. Lucas! Gran Evelyn is such a nice woman. If you let her down, aren’t you…

Mr. Fumitory’s amusement caused Maria to blow her top. “If you don’t want me to get even angrier, bring Evie home with you tomorrow! This is an order, not a request!”

Manafunmunly ended the…

Lucas fiddled with a hat in his pocket for a short while, before opening Evelyn’s WhatsApp chat box. But he soon exited the chat and directly called Evelyn. She was just starting to fall asleep at 12:00 pm when she was awakened by the call; she had a regular sleep schedule and rarely stayed up late. Lucas knew about this.

“Evelyn was a good-natured person. She would never get angry or refuse any of his requests at any moment, even if she felt unhappy once in a while.” She would prioritize her own needs, then carry on currying favor with Taver by visiting him. He didn’t need to spend extra time…

Evelyni preempted the call with a frown. “What’s the matter?”

Lucas’ voice was flat and steady. “Come with me to Grant Manor tomorrow. Do you have…”

Evelyn became instantly wide awake.

She replied without any hesitation, “Yes.”

They were going to Grant Manor. Was he planning to come clean about the divorce with Maria?

He asked, “Do you need me to pick you up?”

“No, I’ll drive there myself.”

…answered by the beeping sound of someone hanging up without a second thought. Seemingly having concluded that she would give such a reply, Lucas didn’t want to prolong the conversation a second longer. It was as if he was afraid she would start badgering him. He no longer cared about…

As long as they made it clear to Maria, there would be less trouble for her.

In the evening of the next day, Evelyn lined up all her tasks and drove to Manni…

Chave you grown so thin? Do you feel unwell!!

…arrived. When the Law Evelys… Maila immediately got up. “Why have…” Berlyn took hold of Marla’s hands and gave a warm smile. “I’ve been busy with work; it’s nothing serious.” Maria was still worried. “I’ll arrange an appointment with a reputable doctor for you. You must improve your health!” Curlyn merely chuckled, “You don’t need to worry. I’ll take care of myself.”

Lucas’ fault! He’s not attentive at all and doesn’t know how to take good care. Just look at how he…

Evelyn remained silent. It wasn’t a matter of attentiveness. He hasn’t come home yet. Who knows what he’s busy with? Marla was…

…unhappy treating someone she loved. He had never… taught him to realize… This Kar was probably spending time with Tillany…

…as if on cue. She glanced at Evelyn. “You’ve broken…”

They had to wait for Karas’s initiative before mentioning the deceit. Therefore, she…

…wouldn’t be bothered to keep up appearances. Evelyn might be planning on hiding it. “Yeah, I’ve just finished all the necessary preparations.”

…brand that you’ve quit your job at Blueten?

…guessed at her landline, please. “Are you planning to make Lucas suffer without doing anything?”
