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.
