Chapter 58 What Now?

“Can Ivy invite them over to our house tomorrow to play?”

“Of course. Mommy absolutely supports you guys making more friends.”

“Thank you, Mommy.”

The next morning, Katherine tried Lucas again.

The call connected, and she spoke. “Lucas, do you have time today?”

The line went silent. Then, a voice answered, “Katherine? Are you trying to reach Lucas?”

It was Rachel’s voice.

Katherine paused.

She thought, Rachel and Lucas really did seem to be glued at the hip every second of the day.

“I am. Where is he?”

Rachel sounded frosty. “Lucas is busy. Katherine if you have any self-respect, you’ll stop calling him.”

“I-”

Before Katherine could finish, Rachel hung up.

Katherine was at a loss for words.

She stared at the screen for a beat-then deleted the record. Just then, Lucas walked in from outside.

“What are you doing here?”

Rachel was about to speak when Fred walked in. Mr. Grant, Ms. Pearce says she needs to see you about something.”

Lucas looked up. “If she needs me, why didn’t she come to me herself?”

“Uh, well…” Fred glanced at Rachel.

Rachel bit her lip. “Lucas, Katherine just called. You weren’t here, so I answered for you.”

Rachel hadn’t expected Katherine to be so persistent-couldn’t reach Lucas, so she went

through Fred instead.

Lucas took his phone, flicked through the recent calls, but here was nothing from Katherine.

His brow furrowed, and he quickly figured it out

He looked at Rachel, voice low. “Rachel, don’t come to my office unless there’s something important.

“I…” Rachel tried to say something.

Lucas cut her off coldly. “Go back.”

Rachel stared at him, stunned by his impatience. She hadn’t expected Lucas to treat her like

this.

Resentment flooded her, and she pinned all of it on Katherine.

If it weren’t for Katherine, Lucas would never treat her this way.

Eyes red, Rachel left. On her way out, she overheard Fred reporting to Lucas that Katherine was trying to set up a time to meet…

Rachel clenched her fists. This couldn’t go on. She had to get rid of Katherine as soon as possible.

Listening to Fred, Lucas frowned.

He didn’t need to guess. She wanted to talk about the divorce.

Some things really did need to be settled.

Lucas checked the time. Almost lunch.

If he remembered right, yesterday Ivy’s mom had said she wanted to treat him and Katherine to a meal.

Lucas stood, grabbed the suit jacket draped over his chair, and walked out.

“Mr. Grant, where to?”

“Velvet Chamber. Lunch.”

“Yes, sir.”

By then. Katherine and Megan had already brought the kids to Velvet Chamber. Yesterday’s dinner invitation had been a polite excuse, but they’d actually reserved a private room here.

The restaurant was famous. Back when they lived in Crestburg, Katherine and Megan used to come here all the time. During their years abroad, they’d missed the flavors constantly. Now that they were finally back, there was no way they’d skip it.

They went into their reserved room, and the food came out fast.

Katherine looked at the three kids beside her and kept piling food onto their plates.

The three little ones usually had good appetites and right now they were happily eating every single thing Katherine put in front of them.

Just then, Katherine’s phone rang. She was about to answer on instinct when i was the number she’d used to contact Lucas.

This was the phone number she’d used to reach him back in Yarbrough.

So, Lucas calling this number didn’t mean he was looking for her—he was looking to

mom.”

Katherine immediately handed the phone to Megan.

this

Caught off guard by the phone suddenly shoved at her face, Megan set down her fork. “Who is it?”

“Lucas. For you.”

Strictly speaking, for Ivy’s mom.

Megan’s heart tightened. “Why is he calling me now?”

“No idea. Pick up, quick. He’s the suspicious type-if you don’t answer, he’ll get ideas.

Megan swallowed her food in a rush, took the phone, drew a deep breath, and picked up. “Mr. Grant, is there something I can help you with?”

Katherine listened with her nerves stretched tight. Then, she heard Megan gasp. “What? You’re at Velvet Chamber?”
