Chapter 14

“Do you not know about it?” Maria was infuriated as she sensed that something was wrong.

She continued, “I booked tickets for you two for a two–day trip at Reis Mountain. Lucas told me he had already given you the tickets when I asked him about it yesterday.”

Evelyn was confused as Lucas hadn’t mentioned anything about it. However, it was clear to her that he did not want to go on a vacation with her and had deceived Maria, hoping to brush things off.

“It’s the weekend. What can you possibly be doing? Don’t try to cover for the rascal. Evie, why don’t you two go up there now? I’ve already arranged everything for you two. I’ll go and push him.”
