The Queen Returns—And She's Unforgiving novel Chapter 73

Evelyn looked sideways at Lucas.

As he supported Maria by the arm, Evelyn saw a spot of brown lipstick stain on his white collar.

Evelyn quickly pulled her gaze away.

Lucas had been shopping with Tiffany before he returned…

Did they kiss?

No wonder he looked like he was in quite a good mood. It turned out he had just returned from his lover's warm embrace.

"Stand together. Come, Evie, take his hand." Maria's voice pulled Evelyn back to reality.

Evelyn did not ask about it. She would be just humiliating herself if she did. All she could do was pretend that she did not see the lipstick stain.

As she looked up, she noticed that Maria was aiming her phone at them.

Seeing them standing together, looking like a couple match made in heaven, made Maria feel delighted. "I'll take a few photos of you guys, and I'll send some to Tessie."

Evelyn did not expect that her first photo with Lucas would be taken in a situation like this.

"As you wish." Lucas did not reject Maria, which made Evelyn feel a little surprised.

However, it made sense.

When Evelyn was the one who wanted to take photos in the past, he was not interested. Maria was the one who requested it this time, and Lucas had to go along with Maria's mood.

Maria asked Evelyn to take Lucas' arm, but Evelyn did not move a muscle at all.

Lucas shot a meaningful glance at her, but he did not say anything. He glanced at his watch twice, wanting to get it over and done with as soon as possible.

Maria was disappointed in Evelyn. She went up and put Evelyn's hand on Lucas' arm herself. "Now, we're talking. Give me a smile, you guys."

Feeling the solid muscle under her palm, Evelyn looked at the camera calmly.

There were barely any expressions on both Lucas' and Evelyn's faces. They were not smiling at all.

Maria urged them to smile a few times, but it was in vain. She had no choice but to just make do and just take the photo.

Maria got more and more delighted the more photos she took. She took quite a number of them in one breath until Lucas put his arm down. Evelyn pulled her hand back as well.

Maria started chatting with Tessie on the phone and said happily, "I've sent the photos to Tessie. I've sent them to you as well, Lucas. Forward them to Evie."

Lucas nodded and was about to head upstairs.
