Chapter 182 Deborah's expression tightened slightly.
"It's... It's not because you've been married to him for three years without carrying his child, is it?" she asked.
"Granny, you're overthinking it. Lucas has never cared about that." Evelyn shook her head.
If it were just about not having children, it wouldn't have been like this. Besides, Lucas had never once considered having her bear his child.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDeborah had originally thought that Evelyn would be feeling quite down, but after observing her, it was clear that Evelyn wasn't bothered. She had truly let go.
Only then did Deborah relax and gently pat Evelyn's hand. "That's good. Whatever you do, I'll support you." Evelyn gave a small, cool smile, her usually indifferent eyes softening with warmth.
She stayed the night with Deborah, and they discussed Leonard's situation. The liver donor had been confirmed, and they were just waiting for the surgery to be scheduled. For the Reed family, it seemed like both the divorce and Leonard's health had brought a double blessing.
Evelyn called Maggie on Wednesday morning.
"Maggie, I can't reach Lucas. Could you please pass on a message for me? Tell him to go back and clear out his things from the study." Lucas was in the elevator at Bluezen when he received the call.
Maggie's voice cthrough clearly. "Mr. Grant, Mrs. Grant askedto pass on this message. Do you have time?" The elevator space was confined, and the sound from the phone carried over. The executives around him exchanged confused glances.
Mrs. Grant? What did that mean? Lucas, with his hand in his pocket, casually replied, "Got it. Tell her I'll take care of it when I have time." "Is there anything else you'd like to tell her?" "No, that's it." After hanging up, Tristan grinned and asked, "Mr. Grant, is something happening with Ms. Moore? Calling her Mrs. Grant now? You were talking about Ms. Moore, weren't you?" Lucas' lips curled faintly as if lost in thought. He didn't respond or deny it.
Meanwhile, Maggie called Evelyn to report on Lucas' response.
Evelyn understood immediately. It seemed that after changing his number, Lucas had informed everyone around him, including Maggie. But he had deliberately left her out.
It made sense. He probably thought they had nothing to communicate about.

Maggie replied, "No, Mrs. Grant. What do you need to clear? Should I do it for you?" Evelyn replied calmly, "No need. I'll handle it myself." After all, those things belonged to Lucas, and she had no right to make decisions for him.
She had no plans to move back into their marital heither. Once he cleared out his things, she intended to sell it.
Although she had carefully decorated it, it was just a house in the end, and it didn't hold any real significance for her anymore. Later in the evening, Evelyn and Sebastian went to Orbit Restaurant, where they had agreed to meet with Graham.
Sebastian parked the car, and they walked inside together. But as they neared their private room; they unexpectedly ran into Lucas and company.
Evelyn looked up casually and saw Tiffany, her hand resting lightly on Lucas' arm as she bent over to straighten her dress.
