The Queen Returns And She’s Unforgiving

Chapter 169

Evelyn heard a car honked and looked up. She saw a Bentley parked by the roadside with its hazard lights on, and the driver got out to respectfully open the door for her. It was then that she remembered it was Valentine's Day that day.

She knew Lucas was only going through with the date to appease Maria, but today was also an opportunity. She could finally discuss the issue with the ring with him in person.

"Okay," she replied quietly.

"I'll wait for you," Lucas said, sounding relaxed.

Evelyn got into the car. She wasn't particularly concerned about where they were headed. She closed her eyes and rested quietly, not paying attention to the lively street outside.

Eventually, she was taken to Riverton Bistro, a rooftop restaurant.

It was almost ironic.

In all these years, Lucas had never spent a single Valentine's Day with her. The one time he did, it was after their divorce, and it was only because Maria had forced him into it.
