The Queen Returns And She’s Unforgiving

Chapter 170

Evelyn was allergic to almonds, so whenever she ate out, she always had to remind the restaurant. It was rare for her to have a meal without needing to bring

it up.

She felt a little suspicious about the absence of almonds in the dishes tonight, but then she thought it was probably Maria who had taken care of it.

She ate a few more bites, then set her cutlery down. Lucas clearly wasn't hungry either. He looked up at her and said, "Grandma arranged a suite on the floor below."

After a brief pause, he added, "The night view here is really quite beautiful."

Evelyn understood that Maria wanted them to have a pleasant evening together. She instinctively looked around.

There was only a violinist playing in the corner to set the mood and a few servers who were barely visible inside the restaurant.

It felt like a crowded environment, with too many eyes and too many people for a private conversation.

"I'm done eating. I'll go ahead." Evelyn stood up. This wasn't the place to talk about the ring, and she didn't want the conversation to accidentally reach Maria's

ears.
