Chapter 135
When Evelyn amived at the house, Maria was in the kitchen with Margaret, preparing for dimmer.
The sounds of the simmering pots could be heard before a sweet aroma began to waft through the air.
As Evelyn entered, Maria greeted her warmly. “Why is it just you? Where’s Lucas? Is he parling outside?”
Evelyn responded calmly, “He had something to take care of, so I came on my own.
Maria’s expression immediately darkened. “What kind of matter could keep him occupied? It’s already past working hours!”
Without explaining, Evelyn simply smiled.
offering her a drink, Maria asked, “Has work been really beetle lately? Maggie mentioned that you and Lucas rarely retum here, What’s really happening?
Evelyn hesitated, her words caught in her throat….
Shooting Evelyn a worried look, Maria had no idea about the truth, merely thinking that they were busy with work
Evelyn felt a mix of helplessness and frustration. Having had no idea how Lucas explained the matter, she would not have any clue how to answer Maria if he had said nothing.
“Things are a bit tight on our projects now that it’s the year–end,” she answered after some thought.
Maria patted her thigh, exclaiming. “Health comes first, so don’t force yourself too much, I’m going to prepare nourishing supplements for you.
“You keep saying you’re fine, but 1 think you’re lacking energy. There’s no harm in boosting your vitality as it’s crucial to us as women.”
Evelyn Jose Maria truly cared for her, thus she couldn’t bring herself to turn down Maria’s kindness.
Maria continued begrudgingly, “Lucas is another one! It’s already this late, and he’s still not back yet. You should call him, Evie.”
Evelyn.comforted Maria. “It’s alright, Grandma. Let’s eat first, He might be driving now.”
It was just an excuse. She did not want to risk having Tittany answer the call
Hearing that, Maria did not insist any further.
Evelyn thought Lucas wouldn’t be back tonight,
t, but he appeared right on time.
She looked up briefly before shifting her gaze. She wondered when Maria would leave, as she planned to leave after her.
Seeing Lucas arrive just before dinner started, Maria finally relaxed.
Halfway through the meal, she suddenly suggested, “Let’s take a family photo this Taster. What do you guys think?”
Evelyntroze, her hand about to reach for her glass.
“Didn’t we already take one last year? There’s no need for that, Lucas answered, placing the glass of water closer to Evelyn
She glanced down at the glass, her expression inrlanged
His actions might have made ber heart flutter in the past, but now, she had come to her senses and understood..
Women were often too emotional. Even the most basic, meaningless gestures would be appreciated when they were blinded by love.
As for the family photo, le relused to take it
Evelyn was not surprised, as the thought it was–ummecessary tou
Lucas must have been against it because he knew they would be divorcing
Maria Inched at Lucas handsome but unreadable face and Evelyn’s indiferent expression. Then,
en, with a sigh, she suggested, “If you two are busy, then maybe next
Then, her gaze landed on Evelyn’s hand. “Oh my, where’s your wedding ring?”
She had already noticed that Evelyn was hot weating her wedding ring but did not think too much about it. Now that it was still missing frum Evelyn’s finger, Maria
ould not help but ask about IL

Evelyn responded, “It was getting in the way.”
he had already sent the ring along with the divorce papers to Loras te had probably gotten Michael to take care of IL
Moreover, only she had won the ring after the wedding. Dicas had never won the ring evenance, presenting himself as a bachelor
The had played her part for too long.
Maria did not understand how a ring could get in the way of things. She glanced at Lucas bare lingers, realizing Evelyn’s disappointment did not happen overnight.
She shot him a glare, signaling him to say something Even a few simple woods would have been much better than being cold and indifferent
scan noticed Marla’s signals but trigued ignorance tratead, he offered her some crab legs, skillfully changing the topic. “What were you blinking toc? Do you ean you want to peel it for you?”
He had no intention of weaning Ids wedding ring, which left Maria Dupionis. Although she opened her mouth to say something, het wooh were caught in her thanat Eventberespassion was reflective of her resignation.
She threw in the towel, whereas Evelyn quietly ate her meal, behaving as it she did not notice what was happening.
She knew better than anyone that Lucas wouldn’t have gone three years without wearing his ring if he had cared. There was no way of knowing where he had
fren kept it.
Evelynexpected Maria to leave, but Maria stayed and settled in the guest room instead.
As a result, Evelyn had no choice but to head upstairs as well. She found Lucas chatting on his phone and would need to walk past him to get her charger. Feeling that she was about to approach, he moved his screen away.
She figured he must be texting Tiffany, and there were things he did not want her to see
Not taking it to heart, she crossed over to look for the phone charger. It had been a hectic day, and her phone had long run out of battery.
Lucas only felt at ease stretching his legs upon noticing Evelyn seated on the bedside to charge her phone. Then, he casually asked. “Do I send you the videos and Photos?”
“Huh?” Evelyn looked up, confused
Noticing her puzzled expression, he kept his lighter and cigarette away. “The photo Grandina took of us last time?”
Only then did she remember Maria wanting him to forward it to her. However, there was no news from him.
Evelyn was surprised that he kept the photo, but it also occurred to her. Given how he had been messaging Tiffany earlier and how she had answered his calls, she would have likely snooped around his messages, too.
Lucas was probably wonted Tiffany might stumble upon something.
Then again, Evelyn no longer cared about taking photos together. They were divorced, so why would they even need it?
With that, she replied without hesitation, “You don’t have to. Just delete it.”
