The Queen Returns—And She's Unforgiving novel Chapter 195

Lucas' calm, unhurried demeanor seemed to exude understanding and certainty.

Michael paused to consider before agreeing with Lucas' words.

Evelyn was merely putting up a stubborn front. After all, he could clearly see how much she still cared about Lucas.

Even if they were now divorced, one couldn't simply stop loving. Evelyn was merely pretending to be strong. Who knew—she might actually treasure everything that belonged to Lucas as if it were priceless?

Just as Lucas was about to stand up, his phone rang with a call from Maria.

He rubbed his temples before answering. "Have you had lunch yet?"

Maria snorted. "You still care about me, huh?"

Lucas adjusted his tie slightly and replied with a half-smile, "I feel rather wronged by that remark."

"Quit with the wisecracks! You haven't been back to see me lately. Ever since Valentine's Day, neither you nor Evie have reached out. You haven't done anything to upset her, have you?" The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became.

She had made arrangements to set up the perfect atmosphere for the couple on Valentine's Day, and the hotel even confirmed that Evelyn didn't leave until the next day. Logically, that encounter should have ignited some warmth between the two.

Yet somehow, there was no news from them.

Lucas raised his eyebrows. He tapped the desk and said, "I don't think so."

They had just gone to the courthouse…

Maria snapped, "Enough already! You're almost 30 now. When exactly are you going to have a child with Evie? Weren't you always fond of kids?"

Lucas had once been quite fond of children, but ever since he married Evelyn, he had become unwilling to have any. Their relationship was lukewarm as well.

How could they be married for three years and still not have a baby?

Now, they were approaching for years, and Maria felt compelled to push the issue!

Not once did Lucas mention anything about divorce. He replied slowly, "I don't have that on the agenda at the moment."
