The Queen Returns And She’s Unforgiving

Chapter 231

At that moment, Evelyn pondered it. The hotel belonged to Grant Group and was managed by Sharron.

As the CEO of the company, Lucas naturally had certain privileges. So, was it Lucas who had arranged for the flowers to be sent?

But they would soon be filing for divorce. In other words, their marriage was about to end. Sending flowers like this felt out of place.

you need something?" Evelyn stood at the door, her tone neutral. She made no move to invite Lucas in, nor did she ask about the bouquet.

Lucas looked down and studied her indifferent expression in silence before finally speaking. "Grandma called me."

Just that one sentence made Evelyn understand what he meant.

Most likely, Maria was uneasy and had called Lucas to test him about what day it was, or whether he was actually with her.

"Just say whatever to get by," Evelyn replied calmly.

Lucas pointed toward the hotel logo. "Grandma knows we're both in Pearlia. Let's video call her later."

Evelyn thought it over and agreed in the end. "Alright."

They had already signed an agreement to keep it a secret for a year. Lucas did not need to remind her of the unspoken rules.

She withdrew her gaze and walked back inside.
