Next to her, Sophia eucled her lips into a smile: “Since Luras has lost his appetite, I won’t eat either.” She then went off to play games.

Once the was finished with dinner, Mariasighed helplessly. “Evie, you know Lucas‘ temper. I know you’ve been wronged, so don’t worry. I’m on your side. Til make sure

“Don’t you have any manners? Can’t you knock?” There wasn’t a trace of emotion in Lucas voice.
Even though they were about to divorce, they had been married for three years. Evelyn wasn’t able to keep her cool completely. She stared at him without shying away and calmly asked, “Do you think I’m peeping on you again?”
