The Queen Returns—And She's Unforgiving novel Chapter 29

"You don't even have a good family background, nor a great academic record. In the future, do you plan on making Lucas tell the world that his wife is a full-time housewife?" Sharron was already filled with dislike, but scorn subconsciously bled through her voice.

She would never approve of this daughter-in-law, no matter what!

It was an unwise move to let her marry Lucas to begin with. She felt that Evelyn didn't deserve him.

Tiffany, whom Lucas had been close to lately, was much more suited to him.

Although her family background fell short of the Grant family by a large margin, Evelyn could not hold a candle to that lady's academic accolades!

Evelyn could tell what Sharron was thinking. She said calmly, "You won't need to worry about that very soon."

Sharron frowned. "What do you mean?"

Before Evelyn could reply, a buzzer rang out from the entrance.

A tall figure appeared in the main hall. Lucas swept his gaze across the room to observe the situation. It wasn't as if he'd never seen his mother try to make things difficult for Evelyn. Besides, Evelyn had a good temper and would always become docile and submissive before her.

She never seemed aggrieved, so why would he step in?

"I had something to resolve, so I was late." His gaze swept past Evelyn, and he moved to stand next to her. "Grandma, why do you look unhappy?"

When he stood next to her, Evelyn could clearly smell the faint scent of female perfume coming from him. She couldn't ignore the low notes of white musk.

It was Tiffany's scent.

How could such a strong fragrance get on him if they hadn't spent a long time being intimate with each other?

Maria slapped Lucas' sturdy arm. "You're finally back! What was so urgent that you were late?"

Lucas smiled but didn't answer. "I'm hungry. Why don't we start dinner?"

His return had interrupted Sharron from saying anything further. She glanced at Evelyn with a scowl, then got up to leave. "I have no appetite. You can eat without me."

Maria knew that Sharron had always been opposed to Evelyn's marriage to Lucas. She didn't bother persuading her, then brought Evelyn and Lucas to the dining room.

Sophia, who had just arrived home, ran happily over to Lucas. She ignored Evelyn and sat on the seat next to Lucas.

Whether intentionally or not, she didn't want Evelyn to get close to Lucas.

Maria also realized this. "Child, your sister-in-law is here. Sit next to Grandma instead."

"I have something to say to Lucas." Sophia blinked and looked at Evelyn. "You're not that controlling, are you?"
