Chapter 119
Footstepseould be heard csaning.
The door before Evehmrock finish her sentence.
Then, a deep ten’s wider rang out, cutting Evelyn oft, “I’m not late, am 1, my dear wife?”
Derlystoned accound in disbelief, thin
That her ears were playing trickson her
Everyone he looked in the direction of the vnter in shockaswell
Lucas walked inslowly..
Blake subconsciously furrowed his brow after he saw Lucas arrive. He was a little suprised that Lucas would refer to Evelyn as his dear wife in front of eventody.
However, after he gave it another thought, he figured that everybody present was from the Reed family. Lucas was only willing to put on an act and admit that Evelyn was his wife when there were no outsiders.
11 there was anybody who didn’t know thee were married, he would never have referred to Evelyn as his wife,
Lucas was in a plain black suit, and his tall, slender figure pot closer and closer as he walked in. He glanced at Evelynafter he walked through the door and said canly to Deborah. “I got caught up with work at the office. I’m sorry, Granny.”
Evelyn’s gaze darkened a little. She had almost lost her composite altogether after he called her his wife in such a casual tone.
She was more shocked by the way he addressed her than the fact that he showed up at all.
What onearth was tricks playing at? Why would he play along to such an extent?
“They had been married for years, but he had never once called her his wife.
Besides, Evelyn alreach accepted the fact that Locas was accompanying Millie and Tiffany. Why did he suddenly come over!
She subconsciously snuck a glance at his the.
It was not the tie with the red pattem that Tiffany posted. It was a black tie instead, which was suited for the solemn ceremony that day.
She was stumped, and her brow furrowed even tighter.
Lucas looked at her and asked casually, “What’s the matter?
Only then did Evelyn realize that she was looking at Lucas strangely, Deborah and Leonard were looking at her at that moment, so she had no choice but to change the topic. “Where did you come from?” she asked.
“The offke,” Lucas replied.
Evelyn did not believe him, but she did not plan to press further as it was not appropriate, given their relationship.
Deborah’s expression softened. She did not scold Lucas. Instead, she waved and said, “It’s fine as long as you’re here. Let’s start the ceremony,”
Lucas nodded and calmly followed the procedure.
Justine was stunned by the fact that Lucas called Evelyn his dear wife, She poked Sebastian in a daze and asked, “What’s going on?
They already filed for a divorce, so why did he not change the way he called her?
Sebastian replied in a whisper. “Perhaps Exte might have come up with a deal with him of something during the negotiation. No matter what, he’s here. I take back what I said about him earlier. He’s not quite a scumbag
if Lucas did not show up, Sebastian was going to urge Evelyn to beat that scumbag up to seek justice for the time she wasted on him
However, Lucas‘ appearance was a surprise since he should be keeping Tiffany accompanied as the main guest of Millie’s birthday party at that moment.
Perhaps it was because the fireworks show would only be held later in the night, so Lucas had time to come over
as not the only our who considered this possibility Evelyn figured that this was the most likely reason as well.
Sebastian was not
The service for Naomi’s third death anniversary should end by noon Evelyn reckoned that Lucas would leave right after that.
That way, be would still be a well–mannered husband and still spend time with Tittany and the others. It was the best of both worlds for him.
Blake did not move. He smiled as if he had no clue what was going on at all and greeted Lacas. Then, he said meaningfully, “I thought you wouldn’t be able to make li today, Mr. Grant,‘ Η
He was surprised that Lucas actually cane. That was because he had just sent Lages a message less than ten minutes ago.
That meant that Lucas was already on his way then.
