NovelStartChapter 186 Lucas suddenly paused, his gaze landing on Evelyn. His expression remained composed, and he looked down briefly before telling Tiffany on the other side of the phone, "I have a guest. We'll talk later." Evelyn felt no particular emotion about his use of the word "guest". However, doubts started to creep in.
If Lucas had just finished his meeting, he wouldn't have gone straight into a video call with Tiffany. From the tone of their conversation, it was clear they'd been talking for a while.
It seemed Lucas had probably already finished his meeting but had been so caught up in his conversation with Tiffany that he forgot about her waiting.

"Let's have Mr. Harvey cin," Lucas instructed. He then sat across from Evelyn and raised an eyebrow. "Been waiting long?" "Mr. Grant, please be more mindful of the tnext time," Evelyn replied coolly, glancing at her watch with a hint of irritation in her eyes.
Lucas noticed that. His gaze lingered on her for a moment before he gave a faint, almost imperceptible smile. He called Michael in. "Bring in a cup of tea for Evelyn." Michael noticed the coffee sitting in front of Evelyn but remained silent, nodding in understanding. "Alright." Evelyn didn't move or say anything. She wasn't in the mood for small talk.
When Morgan entered, he found both of them silent, with Lucas staring thoughtfully at Evelyn.
Clearing his throat, Morgan pulled out the contract. "Ms. Reed, good to see you again." Evelyn nodded in acknowledgment.
Morgan spread out the contract. "Just sign here. The sgoes for the other copies." Evelyn was familiar with contracts after her tin the PR department, so she quickly checked everything, ensuring there were no issues before signing her name.
"Thank you, Mr. Harvey," she said politely, standing up.
Morgan smiled. "No problem." Lucas stood as well, adjusting the buttons on his suit. His voice was casual. "If you have any questions, feel free to contact me." Evelyn grabbed her bag and replied flatly, "No need. Just clear the important things from the house when you can." She didn't have Lucas' new phone number, but she wasn't bothered about not being able to reach him. Besides, she didn't think there was anything left to discuss.

She wasn't interested in whether he was being polite or not. Although the Ο subway station was a bit of a walk, at least there was no need for her to ride with him. She bade Morgan farewell and left. Lucas glanced at her retreating figure before walking out with Morgan.
Morgan said, "I find you two pretty strange." Lucas raised an eyebrow, his expression impassive. "What do you mean?"
Morgan continued, "I've seen plenty of couples going through a divorce.
Most of them either argue endlessly, ve point fingers, or avoid each other completely, making the atmosphere tense. But you two... are so calm and detached. No love, no hate."
Not even strangers could maintain such an impassive atmosphere when their thoughts alashed, let alone a couple that had been married for years. Lucas, unbothered, responded casually, "Really? I hadn't noticed." Morgan shook his head in disbelief. No wonder.
Lucas clearly hadn't considered Evelyn's emotions, and it was evident he didn't take her seriously.
