Lucas looked back and answered in a relaxed manner, “Sure. Just send us the invitation.” Since Deade said so, Evelyn would not decline the invitation either. Seeing that Lucas was about to go upstairs, Evelyn ran after him.
Maria grinned from ear to ear after seeing that. They had only been married for three years. How great if they could be even more lovey-dovey with each other! As Lucas entered the study, Evelyn stopped in her tracks.
“Mr. Grant, can I please have a few minutes of your time?” Lucas looked back at her and realized Evelyn was deliberately being courteous. He let out a faint sigh. He probably thought it was interesting. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he asked, “What’s the matter?”
“I need you to give me a precise answer about my grandmother’s manor.” Evelyn stood at the door and got straight to the chase. Lucas could do anything he wanted. However, Evelyn would not allow Deborah to find out about him and Titany. That was where she drew the line.
Lucas loosened his tie. He could tell Evelyn cared very much about this. He narrowed his eyes, looking at her while deep in his thoughts. Evelyn thought he was going to give her a hard time again. She tightened her fists and said, “I’ve never asked you for anything in all the years I’ve been married to you. Just this once. Just—”
“Did I say I won’t agree?” Lucas said calmly after he glanced at his watch and put one hand in his pocket. Lucas looked at his watch again and said slowly, “She and her mother can have a better option.” Berlyn was a little surprised that Lucas would actually stop persisting.
The way she saw it, Millie was clearly trying to make things difficult. Of course, Titany would not give up either. It would make sense for Lucas to indulge Titany as he always did. She pondered it, and then subconsciously asked, “You’re paying for it?”
Lucas looked at her casually and smiled. It seemed like he was laughing at her. He probably thought Evelyn was asking a question she already knew the answer to. It could not be any clearer. He had always been very generous to anyone.
The call came, and he had almost forgotten to send the plaster to Perlyn. Terloops kedler things ambushed to take the sideway. Mur happened to be there at the same time, so it wouldn’t be very difficult for them to hang out together. Therefore, they opened the door to—
(He took a meaningful glance at Larlyn, which she mirrored, making a mischievous, knowing glance as well. However, I expertly saw the lipstick and a mirror on top of the glove box in the car.) It was undeniably Lucas’s guile. Evelyn had a right to sit there. It wasn’t because he wanted a scene.
Lucas walked over and handed her a thank you card to get the gifts that Lucas had prepared for them. She eyed those beautiful gift boxes, making her hesitate for a moment; then Evelyn pulled Betgazo away from the remaining gift that looked especially important, and said, “Kiss ahead and head upstairs.”
Evelyn nodded softly in response and turned around without any expression. Considering the faces at the party that day, if they were to appear together, their relationship as a married couple would certainly be—
It's implied he was once married to Evelyn. What should his girlfriend, Tiffany, who had been in the limelight lately, do?
