Chapter 134
Lucas stared at Evelyn for a moment, his expression thoughtful. Quickly sorting not his thoughts, he figured out the current situation and coldly turned to Jason
and Blake.
He quickly sorted his thoughts and figured out the current situation. He then coldly shifted his gaze to Jason and Blake.
She felt that there was something odd in Lucas‘ gaze.
“Why is it you two?” Jason asked, surprised.
Mason had something come up at the last minute,” came Tiffany’s explanation, “and asked us to come instead. What happened?”
She was rather displeased at the presence of Evelyn. They had been bumping into each other far too often lately. It was especially so now that Evelyn had managed to join their social circle.
This left Jason with a headache as he had not expected the situation to turn out like this.
Mason was too unreliable!
Lucas stepped in with long strides. With a frown, he asked, “What’s going on here, Mr. Harrison?”
Furrowing his brows, Jason was stumped. How should he explain this? If he had said it was because of Evelyn, that would raise unnecessary suspicions.
A flicker of hidden emotions flashed in Blake’s eyes. Pulling Jessica into an embrace, he casually answered, “It was a misunderstanding. We had a tiny dispute, that’s all.”
It was evident that he did not plan to elaborate further.
Still, Lucas had the same expression, not caring to press further. “That’s good to hear.”
Evelyn was not surprised by his attitude. He had cared about many things, but not her.
Sensing Lucas‘ attitude, Blake shot Evelyn a half–hearted smile. For Evelyn to have been ignored in front of Tiffany was downright humiliating.
Waving to Tiffany, Jessica mentioned, “Let me bring Blake to have his wound treated. I’ll see you around, Tiffany.
Tittany nodded in agreement.
Blake did not look back and walked away with Jessica, comforting her along the way.
As Evelyn glanced at their retreating figures, she told Jessica, “Since the matter’s been resolved, let’s go.”
At the same time, Tiffany produced a tissue paper from her purse, handing it to Jason. “Here, wipe your mouth. It’s bleeding”
“It’s okay,” came Jason’s answer as he took the tissue paper.
Taking a look at his watch, Lucas suggested, “Let’s talk outside.”
They agreed and headed out with him.
Evelyn said little and followed behind, belaving very much like a stranger
When they arrived at the car, Lucas finally glanced at Evelyn
“I’ll drop Tittany ott at the office,” he said. Then, after a pause, he asked, “Where are you heading?”
Evelyn knew exactly what he ineant, so she answered calmly. “I’ll take a cab.”
Lucas had already decided to send Tittany back, but because Evelyn was also there, he had no c
no choice but to pose the question. She knew that it was his way of prompting her to refuse so that he wouldn’t be in an awkward situation
Jason shifted. Although he felt uneasy about Evelyn leaving alotar, it might seem worse for him to send her home.
Evelyn did not care much and pulled out her phone to call a cab.
At that moment, Lucas‘ phone rang-
Seeing it was from Maria, be answered, “there anything?”
“Are you done yet? Pick Evelyn up and bring her home. I came over today, only to find out from Maggie that you two have hardly returned. How ridiculous it is ti leave the house empty like that!”
She would not have known that neither one of them wanted to head home if she hadn’t visited.
Lucas fiddled with listighter and responded casually, “I’ve beep swamped with work.”
“Swamped? That doesn’t mean you can ignote your responsibilities, stop changing the topic and pick Evelyn up…”
“Qin leading elf,” Evelyn mentioned, seeing that her ride was here. She gave a brief nud and turned to leave.
Maria overheard Evelyn’s voice and quickly added, “Since you guys air together now, bring het hoate safely
Lucas‘ expression remained unchanged. Looking at Evelyn, he said, “Grandina wants you to head home. “
With a slight town, Evelyn glanced at his phone and saw that he was on the line with Maria. She thought of not going, but Tittany was around.
If she insisted on leaving alone, wouldn’t that be akin to telling Maria that Lucas wanted to send Tillany hoone?
Not to mention, Maria continuously insisted that Lucas bring Evelyn home.
We had already hung up in the midst of Evelyn’s hesitation
Evelyn had no choice but to look at Lucas. Given how much he valued Tiffany, would be really leave her all by herselt?
At that moment, Tallam still had the same expression. She did not show any signs that she was dissatisfied.
Instead, she tumed in Lucas, telling him, “I’ll head back to the office with Jason Since Grandma’s health is more important, you should visit her.”
Het tone was composed, akin to how a married couple would talk to each other.
She did not mind giving Evelyn this opportunity. Her calmness reflected the confidence that came along with Locas‘ favoritism.
Evelyn closed her eyes, amused. When did she need another woman to step aside for her to claim what was hers as the legal wite?
She did not want to be involved in the drama, so she decided to go on her own
Lacas was already looking at her when she looked up, about to speak. He turned her down with an indifferent glance, claiming, “You’ve already called for a ride, so just go with it. There’s no need to tass Is that okay with you?”
He made his decision without any hesitation
Evelyn knew he could have brought her to Maia’s place after dropping Titany off. Yet, he didn’t want her to ruin the atmosphere between him and Tiffany as the third wheel
“Sure.” She had already expected it.
Jason looked at Evelyn with a complicated expression. Even he felt suffocated–what more Evelyn?
No matter how much be observed, she did not look like she was about to cause a scene, which was out overwhelmed that it was normal for them to argue or cause a scene.
Evelyn, however, was a tad bit too calan

is gaze away, clearly indifferent to whatever she decided. In a chivalrous manner, he stepped aside, opening the door for Tittany At tlut modirni, Jason understood why Evelyn acted the way she did.
One would simply run out of the will to go on when negative emotions were not reinforced with positive f
