Next evening, at the Hawk family.
Under the beige light, several servants were busy in silence in front of the new Chinese-style dinner table.
Evelyn and Lucas were rarely able to sit together for dinner.
The room was very quiet, and there was a little bit warmth between the couple, which was better than any conversation.
It was simple and warm.
Evelyn loved this feeling. She had been uncomfortable for being alone at home these days.
It would be nice if someone could accompany her for dinner every day.
While Evelyn secretly complained, someone was entering, and servants were busy greeting her.
"Why have dinner so early?"
Amelia took a chair, feeling at home. She sat between the couple, as if she was the master here.
From the view of Evelyn, Amelia seemed to be in a good mood today, dressing lovely.
A pink-purple dress made her skin white, a little curly hair ribbon showed her style and amorous eyes faintly stared at Lucas.
Lucas seemed to sense nothing, staying calm.
Evelyn could feel the hostility of Amelia. Seeing her like this, Evelyn was somewhat on the alert.
How did she come? Evelyn secretly questioned.
Once she appeared, there was no good thing.
Putting down the tableware, Evelyn waited for a long time to found that Amelia had no intention of bothering her. Since entering the room, Amelia’s sight had always been on Lucas.
Lucas asked coldly, "Is there something?"
"Yeah."
Amelia smiled for Lucas’s response. She took a delicate invitation from the bag, put it in front of him, looking at him with expectation.
It seemed that Evelyn wasn’t there.
"What is it?"
Lucas glanced at the golden cover and asked carelessly.
Hearing his question, Amelia smiled more brightly, “Lucas, soon our college will hold an alumni association. Professor James Sharp will attend, who always appreciates you and you also know that. Since you went aboard in sophomore year, he had always felt pity.”
"This time he asked me to send you an invitation, expecting to see you, his excellent student.
Amelia deliberately showed that she was so familiar with Lucas. It seemed that no one could disturb she and Lucas. And she glanced at Evelyn every now and then.
When hearing about the professor, Lucas was surprised and glanced at the invitation, “When?”
"Tomorrow night!"
Amelia had inquired things about the alumni early.
She just wanted to be there with Lucas and waited eagerly for his reply since he questioned.
Lucas nodded, "I will be there then."
He had never liked these occasions, but James was a highly-respected predecessor and took good care of the younger generation.
And they used to get along well.
In the heart of Lucas, he had always respected James.
Amelia dared to send the invitation because she had already known that.
She became more and more proud due to his agreement, and even defiantly raised her chin towards Evelyn.
Evelyn showed the carelessness on her face. It was Lucas’s freedom to go anywhere.
