Evelyn could not suppress her anger after hearing John's words.

Not to mention that she was a victim of these things, even if she was involved, she was forced!

"You won't leave me alone? John, you're playing favorites, aren't you? You think I'm willing to mess with this shit? Did you forget that these people liked Nora? Is that what you're doing to me? As soon as she left, you left me to clean up all the mess. Why don't you blame your dear daughter, Nora? She is very easy to seduce, and she hangs around men like a butterfly!"

"Evelyn"

When John heard her bad-mouthing Nora, he was already angry, and he was furious after hearing her words. He yelled at her. "Don't yell at me. I can hear you!"

Evelyn wrote herself off as hopeless and acted recklessly, and Evelyn no longer spoke cautiously in front of John. She sneered, "It was this guy named Austin who was chasing me around, because he wanted to be with Nora. How dare you blame me? When we agreed on the treaty, you didn't say that I needed to clean up Nora's mess."

John was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time after she scolded him. Only the grinding of teeth was heard on the phone.

"Evelyn, is that the way you talk to me? Don't forget who you are, or don't you want your mother?"

He was so angry that he threatened her with Katherine.

When Evelyn heard this, as she was already furious, her anger boiled over.

"John, how dare you hurt my mother? If my mother suffers any harm, I will take you and Nora to die together!"

When she had finished speaking, she hung up the phone suddenly. She sat on the bed panting angrily.

It showed how angry she was.

Of course, John was even angrier.

He didn't think Evelyn would ignore his threats, and she threatened him back. His face was grim and threatening.

"This bitch, does she really think that marrying into the Hawk family will empower her? How dare she resist!"

He gritted his teeth and growled. At the same time, he was planning to teach Evelyn a lesson to make her realize the cruel reality.

Evelyn didn't know what he was up to.

She struggled to calm her anger, and with it came a deep sense of powerlessness and sadness.

Finally, she could not help feeling sad in her mind, she held the quilt and wailed.

Tears poured from her eyes. Her tears soaked the sheet and it was instantly wet.

Evelyn, however, was unaware of this, holding herself in her arms and crying uncontrollably.

When Lucas showed up in the room, he saw her crying like this, and he just froze.

He looked at the trembling body on the bed, and there was a depressive sound of crying in his ear. For a moment he felt very uncomfortable. He pretended to cough.

He coughed softly, and the sound of his cough startled Evelyn, who was still in her thoughts.

She looked up and saw Lucas at the door.

"What are you doing here?"

She bit her lip and questioned him, and her face looked unnatural.

She quickly wiped the tears from her face, but she had been crying so hard that she could not help but whimper.

Lucas looked at her red, and swollen eyes and her cold face. He felt his heart ache inexplicably.

Just as he was about to say something, Evelyn saw that he was silent. She was impatient and she wanted to drive him away.

"Lucas, you punished me. Now I'm tired, and if you have nothing else to say to me, please leave. I need a rest!"

What she said directly stopped Lucas from saying what he wanted to say.

He looked at Evelyn's distant and indifferent face. His thin lips compressed.

He had hurt her, so she didn't want to hear his apology.

He planned to wait until the woman was no longer angry, and then he explained to her. Thus, he just held out a glass of milk to her. "You drink the milk. It will help you sleep."

When Evelyn heard this, she looked at the milk in his hand. Her eyes were full of doubt.

She compressed her lips and did not take the milk.

Lucas also saw that she was angry, and he said, "if you don't drink the milk, I'll be standing there all the time."

When Evelyn heard his unreasonable words, she wanted to throw the pillow to him from her hand.

But she dared not, for she had not forgotten what had happened.

And she had no strength to quarrel with him.

So, in the end, she gave in. She compressed her lips and took the milk. She didn't look at Lucas, and she lifted her head and drank the milk. "You may leave now, may you?"

She handed Lucas the empty cup back. After Lucas held the glass, she stopped looking at him. She turned back to the bed immediately and lay down with her back to him. "Please close the door for me when you go out, thank you!"

When she finished speaking, she seemed to be asleep and lay quietly in bed.

Lucas was standing in the doorway, looking at her on the bed for a long time before he turned and left the room.

As the door closed, she, which had been lying quietly on the bed, shuddered.

He's really gone...

She bit her lower lip, and the tears in her eyes that she had so hard to stop flowed again.

Her heart felt the pain of tearing.

"You looked fine just now. Why are you crying again?"

Just as Evelyn was about to burst into tears, suddenly she heard Lucas's low voice, which froze her.

Before she could ask Lucas why he wasn't gone, she felt the soft bed sinking down a little, and then she felt a warm and familiar body. He hugged her from behind. "Stop crying, or you'll get puffy eyes tomorrow."

He leaned his chin on Evelyn's neck, and he whispered.

Evelyn was tense and nervous. Her eyes looked even more complicated.

She did not understand what the man meant.

Did he bully her first and then comfort her gently?

When she thought of it, she rejected him, but she found that she yearned for his tenderness.

She even felt warm in his arms.

No, how could she think that!

"Let me go!

She struggled with anger and shame.

But Lucas didn't let go of her, and instead he was sexually aroused by her body twisting.

"Are you trying to seduce me?"

He gasped, and he said in Evelyn's ear. Evelyn became quiet for a moment.

"I didn't!

She gritted her teeth and retorted.

Lucas knew she wasn't. He was just trying to distract her.

"Never mind."

He chuckled and said, which made Evelyn even angrier.

"Lucas, what exactly do you want to do?"

She could not get away from him. She could only gritted her teeth and questioned him.

"I'm going to hold you and rest. Can't you see?"

Lucas ignored the anger in her voice, and he said calmly.

It was his words that stunned Evelyn.

And for a moment, she almost asked if he was not angry with her?

Fortunately, she stopped in time.

"Go to your room if you want to rest!"

She compressed her lips and refused, as Lucas expected.

"Don't forget that we're husband and wife, and we're not supposed to sleep apart."

He smiled and said, as if he would stay with Evelyn wherever she goes.
