"I was delayed by something tonight, but it's not an urgent matter. You don't have to worry too much." Evelyn was afraid that he would notice something wrong, so she tried to change the topic. "By the way, is Lucas asleep?"
"At first, he wanted to see you, but then he was so sleepy that he fell asleep." The man said lightly, and there was nothing unusual about it.

The man didn't say anything, and only then did he see the deep and suspicious look suppressed in his eyes. Looking at the woman's pale face, he quickly lowered his head...
Evelyn thought that he would kiss her, so she quickly tilted her head to avoid it. Only when she closed her eyes did she realize that he was just sniffing her neck.

Evelyn opened her eyes in confusion, only to meet a pair of cold eyes. "What's wrong?"
It was not his style to go crazy all of a sudden.
"There's someone else's smell on you."
Evelyn tore off all of her disguises with this single sentence. She had never known that a common and vulgar sentence would be used on her one day.
It was as if her lie had been exposed. To hide it, she had to make up another lie. "You know, there are a lot of people attending the party. Maybe it's inevitable..."
