The Queen Returns—And She’s Unforgiving novel Chapter 219

Maria smacked Lucas' arm and hissed, "Come on, you silly brat! Why didn't you talk to Evie? Can't you change this character trait of yours?"

She noticed that Lucas had only paid attention to the books ever since he returned. It was as if those books were more attractive to him than Evelyn.

Mason heard what Maria said. He poked fun at Lucas and said, "Well, he's afraid Ms. Reed won't want to leave anymore if he was nice to her. All women are very soft-hearted, you see."

This was especially the case for Evelyn, who was madly in love with Lucas.

Lucas did not think much about what Mason said. He just ignored him and ended the call.

"Why are you still standing there? Take Evie to the office." Maria did not feel at ease letting Evelyn leave on her own, so she dragged Lucas out the door.

As soon as Evelyn closed the trunk, she said gently, "It's fine, Grandma. There's no need for the trouble."

Lucas raised his eyebrow. He certainly did not have the intention of giving her a lift back.

He curled his lips and said, "See, Grandma. Evie can do it herself."

Evelyn stopped in her tracks for two seconds because he'd called her "Evie". It was barely noticeable, but she frowned a little.

She sometimes admired Lucas' ability to put on an act.

She would not—and did not—wish to let him give her a ride. That said, he would always leave the ball in her court when it came to something that he was unwilling to do.

Evelyn glanced at Maria and said, "I'm going to get going, Grandma."

She got into the car and did not say anything else to Lucas.

After she left, she did not go to the office. She brought the flowers home instead.

She had been keeping these flowers for years.

Back when she was living in the Harrison residence, Lily kept saying she was allergic to pollen and did not allow her to keep them.

Derek felt sorry for his youngest daughter, so he urged Evelyn to throw them away. He asked her to be considerate toward her younger sister and not to be too selfish.

From Derek keeping a mistress to the passing of Naomi, and after all the indescribable things that happened after Evelyn entered Lucas' property, her father-daughter relationship with Derek was completely broken.

As for these flowers, it was Blake who had someone remake her balcony garden, saving these little bits of personal belongings for her.

After she married Lucas, he left her in charge of the marital home, allowing her to do as she pleased with it.
