Chapter 72
Evelyn did not explain to Leonand that she and Lucas were not going home together. At that moment, Lucas must have planned to use the time he spent with Tiffany to take Evelyn home. There were no developments on Tiffany's end in the next two days. Lucas did not contact Evelyn either.
Evelyn was not sure if it was ever going to happen. She had been busy, but she kept feeling uneasy. Finally, Lucan called her again on Friday. His tone was indifferent as he said, “Sophia is having an allegation—the household staff ‘allowed’ to touch her. She makes a fuss; it wasn't painful when you helped her apply medication in the past. Can you prove…”
Sophia had nothing to do with her. She could have Saks flowers; since Lucan had asked, this could be considered a request and a term for an exchange. He would have…
“Lucas, what do you think about this dress?” Tiffany could be heard asking from the other end of the call. It was the busiest time of the day, yet he was shopping with Tiffany. Lucas hung up the call.
Dohn had long since stopped being ignored by him. She took the day off and went to Grant Manor. Sophia had a delicate body and was allergic to a number of things. If she was slightly careless, she would be covered in itchy rashes, and she would throw a tantrum regardless of whether it was the household doctor who applied the medication.
Evelyn was the only one who was meticulous. She had helped Sophia deal with her rashes a few times in the past three years, and Sophia was quite pleased with her.
Evelyn felt a little complicated when she returned to Grant Manor. She had explicitly told Lucas the last time that she would never be coming back again. However, at that moment, she had no choice but to come back. He probably thought that the…
Once the household staff saw Evelyn, she brought her a pair of slippers. Maria came over and held Evelyn’s hand. “She’s throwing a tantrum again. You’re the only one who can handle that spoiled brat.”
Evelyn smiled, saying nothing, and went straight upstairs to check on Sophia. Once Sophia saw her, she scolded her, “Are you a tortoise? What took you so long? The itch is killing me!”
Evelyn walked up to her and said indifferently, “Lift up your clothes.” Sophia pursed her lips. She didn't notice how cold Evelyn was. “Why are you being so obedient?”
Evelyn took a look. There were two spots of rashes the size of a fingernail on Sophia’s back. They could practically be ignored. Hum... Lucas and Sophia had gotten used to thinking that they could have Evelyn at their beck and call. They thought Evelyn should devote herself to them. It didn’t matter if she had her own things to do.
“Did you have walnini?” Evelyn asked. Sophia was annoyed that Evelyn’s guess was so accurate. She could not deny that Evelyn was quite a nice person. There was hardly anyone as thoughtful and meticulous as her. She had done her best to take care of Sophia in the past three years. She knew very well what Sophia was allergic to and would always be extra careful about it.
However, so what? Sophia still didn’t like Evelyn. There was a more outstanding candidate for her brother’s wife, and Sophia was no fool. Even so, Sophia secretly enjoyed being taken care of by Evelyn. It would be great if Evelyn could…
I have a rivalry with Tiffany over being Lucas’ wife, and if she were more prosperous and knew her… Evelyn did not add any cornstarch to the ointment she helped Sophia apply.
Einer über… whatever. Farms had just turned the lock relaxed. He probably came back for a bunch of things. Seeing that they bumped into each other was a gift. “You’re just in time. Tesle was talking about you; have a chat with her later.”
Lucas glanced at his watch and sighed, saying, “The upcoming meeting is late.” Evelyn was surprisingly surprised; the man never pretended to be lovey-dovey with her in front of others. Everybody could feel that Lucas was cold to her.
Maria thought this was Lucas’ fault. Min glared at him, busy as a… of Saqiblat. She asked, “What do you have that we don’t? I’ve loved you ever since you came through the door. Don’t you see she’s…”
Lucas was still silent. He simply sighed and said, “You’re right, Grandma. I deserved to be lectured.” That was what he said, but… Haringnëdiske, Maila went over and marked his clues. “Get over here, assist and have something important to do.”
