The Queen Returns And She’s Unforgiving

Chapter 218

Maria was surprised to see Evelyn at Grant Manor, so she held her hand and asked, "Why are you back so late? Did you just get off work?"

She thought it would take a long while before Evelyn could come and visit her after she had called that day.

Evelyn was very gentle to Maria as she replied, "Yes. I just came from the office. Did Lucas send some jasmines here today? I want to move them to the office."

Maria was dazed. "He did. He said it was your favorite. Your marital home is all torn down, and the construction is going to start soon. The jasmines would not survive if they were left there."

Evelyn went along with it and said, "That's why I want to bring them to the office. It'll be easier for me to take care of them."

"Just leave them here. Come and have a look, Evie." Maria pulled Evelyn to the conservatory on the left of the main entrance.

Evelyn saw the jasmine flowers that had been transplanted.

She did not manage to take care of them in the past two months, but they were still kept very well. Their leaves were green, and they even had flower buds sprouting.

For some reason, she let out a sigh of relief.

Maria glanced at the time, and an idea popped up in her head. "Evie, give Lucas a call and ask him to come here as well," she said.

Evie took a pause. Her gaze was as calm as ever.

Putting aside the issue of whether they should stay over or not, the two of them, who were once a married couple, did not even have each others' numbers right now. Strangers might even do better than them.
