Chapter 165

Evelyn's breath hitched slightly as she furrowed her brows, glancing at Blake.

Then, her gaze moved to Lucas, who was still coldly indifferent. He had no interest in whatever was happening between Evelyn and Blake.

She noticed it was likely because Blake had mentioned the word "wife" that Lucas subtly furrowed his brows.

Before he could speak, his phone rang again. Lucas glanced at the screen, saw it was a call from Tiffany, and answered.

His expression softened significantly as he said, "Alright, I'll head back now."

Evelyn could easily tell the shift in his mood from how soft his voice was.

He hadn't responded to Blake but nodded at Evelyn before quickly leaving. It was as though she were a stranger to him.

It was clear that only Tiffany could make him react that way.

Evelyn quietly withdrew her gaze. As someone personally involved in the situation, no one could understand the subtle mockery and indifference from Lucas and Blake better than her.

As for Blake's words and attitude, she had given up on asking him for help. She did not say anything else and left.
