Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 90

Chapter 90

Today, Lyman was driving a black Cayenne.

Effie glanced around, making sure there was no one she knew nearby, then hurried into the car.

Lyman caught the furtive way she moved and couldn't help but smirk. "What's with the sneaking around? Am I such a shameful secret?"

Effie gave an awkward chuckle, trying to explain, "I just want to avoid any unnecessary trouble. Oh, and let's stop by Butterbeam first-I want to pick up some nut cake for Mom. She loves it."

Effie was always thoughtful like that. Every time she visited the old family house, she'd bring along everyone's favorite treats.

Of course, the Etheridge family wanted for nothing. Effie knew that bringing gifts wasn't about necessity; it was simply a gesture of care.

Lyman felt a quiet warmth at Effie's considerate nature and understanding.

After they set off, Effie made a stop at a century-old bakery. She picked up a box of nut cake and a classic cheesecake.

The pastries were beautifully made and just lightly sweetened-perfect for older folks.

With everything packed up, they headed back to the old house together.

The drive was smooth, ending as they pulled into the courtyard. Effie was the first to step out.
