The Queen Returns—And She's Unforgiving novel Chapter 81

The conference's venue was right across the hotel—merely a stone's throw away.

Evelyn felt much better when she woke up the next day. Her throat was not killing her anymore, but she still took the medication.

There was going to be a cocktail party after the conference, and the entire event would be held from 3:00 pm to 9:00 pm.

At noon, Evelyn's doorbell rang. She opened the door and was surprised to see Blake.

"Why do you look so unwell?" Blake furrowed his brows when he saw Evelyn. She did not have any makeup on, so her lips looked rather pale.

"Are you sick?" he asked, touching Evelyn's forehead. "Have you taken any medication? Should I take you to the hospital?"

Evelyn could tell that she was truly concerned. Still, she took a step back and avoided his gaze. "Can I help you?"

Blake would soon be the son-in-law of the Clarks—the family who owned the Clark Group. It was not surprising that he would attend such a grand event.

Seeing how Evelyn was acting distant, Blake furrowed his eyebrows. There was a long pause before he handed a gift box to her. "See if you like it. The event today is rather formal, so I thought you should have a decent accessory to wear. This suits you a lot."

Evelyn saw a luxury brand's logo on the box and pursed her lips. "I don't need it."

Blake stuffed it into her hands and said, "You're acting like a kid. Stop resisting. I'm here to tell you to let me know in advance if you're going to have a big memorial service for your mother's third death anniversary. I'll go over to accompany you."

Evelyn was a little stunned. She did not expect that Blake would remember that. Naomi had passed away a year before Evelyn got married, so this year marked the third year. Even Lucas might not remember that.

"Alright. I'll see you later at the conference." While Blake looked at his phone, he patted Evelyn's head out of habit and left.

Evelyn could tell that Blake was not fully sincere, so of course, she would not take his word seriously. She closed the door and opened the box to have a look.

It was a necklace with a crescent moon pendant. She had been interested in aerospace ever since she was a child. Other than reading books about aerospace, she bought a telescope to observe the moon and the stars in the sky.

It was no wonder Blake said that it suited her. How nice of him to remember what she liked.

Evelyn frowned a little and hesitated for a while. It was true that she did not have many accessories, and she did not bring any on this trip.

In the end, Evelyn put on the dress Justine gave her, applied some makeup, and put the necklace on before leaving her room. She thought she could not go wrong by dressing up.
