Chapter 166

On the way to Grant Manor, Evelyn realized that Lucas had not returned yet. She figured that Lucas was spending more time with Tiffany. When he did so in the past, Evelyn felt nothing, nor did she care. However, on that particular day, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of unease. … When Maria saw Evelyn returning, she was, of course, happy. She immediately pulled Evelyn over to chat and soon asked about Lucas. "Why didn't he come back with you? What is he up to?" Evelyn lowered her gaze. "I'm not sure." Maria was unhappy and ordered someone to bring her phone so she could call Lucas, who answered this time. It seemed that he had intentionally avoided Evelyn's call earlier. Maria spoke sternly. "It's already past 8:00 pm. Why are you still not home for dinner?" Evelyn couldn't hear what Lucas said, but Maria seemed to relax slightly after their conversation. … After hanging up, she pulled Evelyn over to sit down. "Let's not wait for him. We'll leave him to his own devices."
