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.

"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.
