Mason immediately understood. “Sure. If you ignored her and she complained to Maria Mier she got home, then this would not be easy to deal with
Tullany pursed her ships and did not comment.
Lucas‘ paze was as cold as ever. “Just carry on playing. Ell be right back”
It was only then Tillany relaxed a little and said, “Alright.”
Mason chuckled. “I get what you meam. You’re not going to let her keep you there.”
Evelyn opened the door when Lucas came to her room. She saw him standing at the door with one hand in his pocket, looking down at her
After he got a closer look at her from head to toe, he walked in and asked, “Where do deel unwell?”
Evelyn had noce but to make way for him. She smelled a whiff of women’s perfume on him as he walked past her. He was probably in the same room with Tittany the entire time.

Lucas glanced at her and realized the truly was lacking in energy. She was not pulling on an act
e narrowed his eyes and turned on the coffee maker to get her a glass of warm water. He was motionless as he said, “I have three types of medication. One for respiratory infection, one forever, and some lozenges”
Evelyn fromed as she looked at him. She was a little surprised that Lucas would give a damn about her. “Thank you.“
Lucas turned to look at her with his gaze that was cold and unfathomable. “Are you going to continue sleeping later?”
Evelyn climbed back into bed with a hum of confirmation. Her mind was still in a daze, and her head felt heavy. All she wanted to do was to lie down

Just as she was thinking about that, she opened her eyes and looked over, only to lind Lucas still standing at the side, looking at
Evelyn hesitated before she asked, “Why are you still here?”
Lucas shot her an indifferent glance before he let out a soft sigh. He probably felt insulted. “You’re quite good at biting the hand that i

Although he said that, he did not plan to stay any longer. He placed the medications on the table and let

Surprisingly, it was the hotel staff that was delivering her dinner–a bowl of almond at meal. It was a light dinner.
“I didn’t order anything. Did you have the wrong room?” Evelyn asked.

However, Evelyn was allergic to almonds
She would use a little bit of almond in her cooking to fit Lucas‘ preference but usually would not touch any dishes that had almonds in them.
She had shared so many meals with Lucas. If he cared, he probably would have noticed that—but of course, he had never cared.
