The Queen Returns—And She’s Unforgiving novel Chapter 180

This time, Morgan answered Mason's question. "The divorce will only be finalized after the 30-day cooling-off period. It's a required stage."

Mason clicked his tongue. "So, she's got like a month's grace, huh? Lucas, you must be pretty annoyed with the policy, right?"

Lucas didn't seem to care much about these concerns. He turned to Morgan and said, "Thank you for your hard work. How about we grab a bite later?"

Morgan agreed.

Mason, left to play the role of driver, climbed into the car. Just as they were about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Right, why did you change your number?"

Without looking up from his phone, Lucas answered, "For work."

Mason shrugged, deciding not to press further.

…

Evelyn had some sentimental attachment to the marital home. Every little detail was something she had invested her emotions in while decorating. However, many unpleasant memories were also tied to that house.

Even though Lucas had given it to her, she didn't plan to move back in.

However…

There were still many of Lucas' things there. And there was that study, which she had never been allowed to enter. It held many important items of his.

She had forgotten to ask Lucas when he planned to move out. After thinking it over, Evelyn decided it was best for him to clear out his things as soon as possible. Property transfer and all the related paperwork would be a hassle.

She picked up the phone to call him, but again, she was greeted with the same message—"Sorry, the number you've dialed is out of service..."

It was the same automated message.

Evelyn's expression remained neutral as she looked at Michael through the rear-view mirror. "Why can't I reach Mr. Grant? His number isn't working."

Michael glanced at her through the mirror. "Mr. Grant changed his number on Valentine's Day. He's no longer using the old one. Didn't he inform you?"

Evelyn was taken aback for a moment, then fell silent. She was surprised that he had changed his number completely. It seemed like Lucas was even more eager to sever ties with his past than she had imagined.

Suddenly, she thought about the type of people who, to please their partners, would unfollow their exes from social media. Was Lucas doing something similar?
