The Queen Returns—And She's Unforgiving novel Chapter 30

Lucas looked away from Evelyn and put down his fork. He then rose to his feet as he said, "I have some business to attend to. You can continue eating without me."

He didn't spare Evelyn another glance and headed upstairs.

Evelyn had just caught Lucas' complicated gaze, and she was unable to ascertain what he meant by it. In any case, she felt slightly anxious.

When would Lucas bring up the matter with Maria?

Next to her, Sophia curled her lips into a smile. "Since Lucas has lost his appetite, I won't eat either." She then went off to play games.

Evelyn remained composed and continued eating. She didn't care what others thought of her. Why waste time grappling with herself?

Once she was finished with dinner, Maria sighed helplessly. "Evie, you know Lucas' temper. I know you've been wronged, so don't worry. I'm on your side. I'll make sure he's worthy of you!"

Seeing the worried expression on Maria's face, Evelyn felt quite uncomfortable. Maria had always treated her well and hoped that the two had a successful marriage. She was always helpful when Evelyn tried to ignite Lucas' love for her.

However, there was no more hope for them. His heart now belonged to another woman.

Evelyn wasn't willing to continue pursuing someone who didn't reciprocate her feelings either.

Besides, her illness was a ticking time bomb, and she did not wish to be a burden to anybody.

"Grandma, I actually came here today because I had something to say to you." Evelyn took a deep breath. "I'll tell you when Lu… Lucas comes down."

She fled upstairs, unable to continue staring straight into Maria's concerned eyes.

When she stood outside the door to the room she and Lucas used to sleep in, Evelyn knocked politely.

She wanted to discuss with Lucas about the matter of revealing the divorce.

However, there was no reply.

Evelyn gave another knock, but it was still silent.

She hesitated and lightly pushed the door open. "Lucas?"

She took two steps in and was caught off guard by the sight of Lucas next to the window with his back turned toward her. A smiling Tiffany was displayed on the screen of the phone in his hand, and they were both chatting like a pair of deeply infatuated lovers.

Lucas turned. A gentle smile had appeared on his handsome face while chatting with Tiffany on his phone. The second he saw Evelyn, it disappeared.

He didn't hide the fact that he was video-calling Tiffany.
