Chapter 145
It was a group chat
She hadn’t seen much else, although she noticed the number ““¿” displayed at the top. It meant that there were four people in the ground.
There was also a WhatsApp profile picture that she recognized. It belonged to Tittany.
Evelyn’s pare flickered slightly.
, they had a private group chat among themselves. Tillany really w
was the centre of attention.
As for her, she had been married to Lucas all those years, yet she never knew that “Tamily members” could publicly be adiled to their friend group.
Although she no longer cams, it was as if some of her shantal deeds had been exposed now that she suddenly knew about this matter. They could thus now laugh
She actually found it somewhat ridiculous
Jason wanted to say something, but he saw Tittany’s private message pop up.
She had texted, “Are you really dating someone? Who is it?”
Pressing his lips together, he didn’t reply. Instead, he wrote in the group chat, “Stop spewing nonsense.”
”
Meanwhile, after Easter dinner ended, several people gathered together. This included the heirs of various family businesses.
In the private room, glasses clinked and drinks flower
Mason saw Jason’s reply and burst out laughing. “That can’t be it, right? Did he not explain anything?
Lucas only took a sip of his drink and said nothing.
Tittany seemed to be thinking. “Maybe it’s not official yet, so he doesn’t want to say anything
She glanced down again at her chat with Jason. He seemed busy with something, considering that he replied to the group chat but didn’t answer her private question
Mason shook his head. “That’s not it. i imited him to come for a drink earlier, and he said he couldn’t leave because he was with family. Don’t we usually get together tonight every year?”
Could he
“Why don’t you look for him?” Lucas said slowly, obviously not very interested.
Mason shuupped. “It’s not like I have that much those, but…”
After that, he glanced around the room, then at the tline.
“It’s almost midnight,” he suggested “Want to bet on when Evelyn will show up with soup?”
When he said that, there was a hint of sarcasm and contempt.
It was the same every year, and he had gotten used in it.
Using the excuse of delivering; soup just to check up on them.- Evelyn’s little schenses weir plain to see.
Tillany finally snapped out of her thoughts. Purting her phone on the table, she asked, “Soup?“.
Mason chuckded, leaned in, and said, “In the past, Lucas never brougle Evelynout to have fun, or did be allow her to join gatherings like this. She probably urfused
to give up, so she would always inske some soup and bring it over to help with everyone’s stomachs.
“In reality, it was all just to flaunt her status as lucas wife. None of us bothered to call her out on it.”
Then, he added, “Anyway, Evelyn was just wasting her time.”
Mason shuffled his cards. Heard Ids brow and clicked his tongue as lie did so,
Tiffany similed. She could tell that Evelyn’s file gesture annoyed Lucas and the others.
If tror love could be won through nothing but effort and devotion, then it would be tartoutheap
Men, inore often than not, were more realistic than women. They would choose a woman more beautiful, more capable, and more likely to bring them glory. Unfortunately, Evelyn had lost from the very beginning. With only looks and neither state or ability, all she could do was chores
“study? Why leua’t die brought it over this year?” asked Mason “Honestly, I kind of miss that soup of hers.”
tasari down his glass and replied conually, “She won’t be coming
Alter Evelyn sent an Easter greeting to Mula, Marta called her.
“Evle, are you with your grauty and the others? Lucas sald you probably wouldn’t be coming back, so I figured I’d call to check. Did you two have argument ?”

Chapter 146
Brilliant fireworks just so happened to rise into the sky outside the window. Evelyn looked up at the inky sky, then looked at Deborah and Leonard, who were recording a video not far away.
She could feel Maria’s concern for her. If not for Maria’s protection over the past few years, life in the cant family would have been even more difficult.
“Grandma, we didn’t have an argument.” Evelyn said gently, “You know Lucas and I rarely do so.”
All problems between them were mostly dealt with through silent treatments, Even arguing would require affection as a foundation. However, Lucas only had
hatred for her
Maria was briefly at a loss for words.
She knew the problem between the two of them. No matter how close the relationship was, some friction and arguments were nommal.
Evelyn and Lucas had been married for years and were the most important people to each other. Yet the way they lived… They were cold like strangers,
Even though Evelyn had tried everything she could to earn Lucas heart, there was no effect. He simply didn’t buy it. He continued to treat herlike a business partner and did everything by the book.
Maria likely didn’t know what to make of it either to the end, she could only sigh.
“That’s true. Your granny and the others are getting older, so you should spend time with them. As long as you don’t argue, that’s all that matters. I’ll talk to thuat brat again. Don’t worry, I won’t let him fake you for granted.”
Evelyn knew that Maria was worried about her and Lucas.
After thinking it over, she still gently commented, “Grandma, it’s alright. I don’t need that anymore.”
They were divorced, so there was no need for Maria to do so. She didn’t want her to waste her energy doing something pointless.
11 Evelyn gave her some context now, Maria would probably be more receptive to it later.
Maria hesitated at those words. She had a feeling that there was more to those words. However, being confused at that moment, she merely said, “Alright then… Spend some quality time with your granny and the others. Say Happy Easter to them for me.!
“Okay.”
After hanging up, Evelyn let out a soft breath.
After some thought, she decided to borrow the hotel kitchen to make some pastries for Deborah and the others
Deborah’s blood sugar was unstable, but she loved eating pastries. However, the hotel’s desserts were far too sugary.
Fortunately, it was easy to express her request to the hotel.
Evelyn made a simple batch of palmiers. During that time, her WhatsApp chinsed a few times.
Evelyn, took a moment to glance at it. It was from Sophia.
Sophia: “When are you coming back? My mom said you’re not inaling dessert this year?”
Sophia: “How annoying. You know I have to have it today!”
Sophus: “Where are you? Say something!”
Sophia: “Forget it. Are you jealous? Fine, I’ll be generous and aclasowledge you as my sister–in–law for today. Now, will you come back and make it?”
Evelyn’s expression remained unchanged.
Sophia only messaged her when she needed something, and her tone was always commanding and patronizing.
Those years, when Sharon was obsessed with investing in antiques and always flying in and out of the country, she entrusted Sophia to Evelyn’s care.
Sophia, whom she had worked so hard to raise, became picky and had higher demands. She could not tolerate any flaws and was not satisfied with the care others had given her.
Slur used to be quite attached to Evelyn, but after Tittany showed up, Sophia began finding endless faults with her. On top of that, she also looked down on Evelyn
Even if it was due to childish vanity or rebellion, it didn’t excuse stabbing someone in the back
Evelyn had no reason to keep indulging her, she stopped working, opened Sophia’s WhatsApp chat, and blocked her
Only then did she lock ber screen and continue what she was duling.
She made tuer boxes of palmiers
After some thought, she sent a WhatsApp message to Fiona, asking her to come down and take a bok
Last time, Jason had helped her contact a doctor through WhatsApp Although the person still hadn’t replied, Evelyn didn’t like owing tavuus.
Flona was elated, she hugged the dessert box and clung to Evelyn for quite a while, asking all sorts of questions about des bene she was tally satisiled sind
Welt.
Then, Evelyn accompanied Debocal and the others to watch an Easter special before retuming to her novi ta sleep
After showering and applying skowate, she received another message Trum Justine. There were also two photos attached.
“How gross! I just went out to have some fun and ended up traumatized! I can’t unsee tluat!”
Shar added, “Lucas is really treating Tittany like the apple of his eyel He’s with her event on such an important day! Did he ever spend it with your Thut scumbag!”
