Chapter 444
Joseph Kent pulled Evelyn Davis away from the restaurant. Evelyn Davis didn't stop him either. She followed him out.
Mo Li watched them leave and smashed the dining table hardly with her fist.
The glass dining table cracked as blood flowed out of her hand.
The other guests were looking at her.
Mo Li didn't care. After she paid the trouble she made, she left the restaurant silently.
Evelyn Davis accompanied Joseph Kent changing his clothes in the nearest mall. She apologized, "I'm sorry I make you suffer."
Joseph Kent waved his hand, "Don't think about it. You helped me out just now." he said while thinking about what just happened. He couldn't help laughing.
Evelyn Davis gave him a strange look. She was silently asking what he was laughing at.
"I never knew you have this in you. I've never seen you fight before."
He pointed to the restaurant and joked around.
Evelyn Davis did not know how to answer.
Joseph Kent didn't mind her silence.
He just smiled. He couldn't help worrying about her.
"What happened just now won't trouble you, will it? Shall I go with you to help you explain?"
Evelyn Davis understood his kind gesture and shook her head, "No, I'll be fine."
Joseph Kent wanted to inquire further, but he didn't say a word. He thought of the secret that Evelyn Davis was carrying with her. He said instead, "Alright then let's call it a day. Next time we meet, I'll take Amanda Murphy with me." Evelyn Davis nodded, "I can hang out as long as I have free time."
She then waved him goodbye.
Joseph Kent didn't stop her. However, right before she got inside the car, he called out, "Evelyn, you know where to find me if you need my help. We are friends!"
He was still worried that she would get into trouble after she came back.
Evelyn Davis would never trouble her friends even when she was in a crisis.
She didn't know what his intention was when he said that, but still, she felt warm.
"I know." she replied then asked the driver to drive.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Joseph Kent watched her leave until the car disappeared from his sight. He then turned back and leave. Evelyn Davis didn't know this.
She sat while thinking what might happen after this.
She guessed Mo Li might have complained to Lucas Hawk. However, if Lucas Hawk happened to question her, she could try to explain.
Suddenly, something broke her thoughts. Before she could think of any good answer, the car had arrived at the Hawk's.
She paid the bill then walked inside.
The servants greeted her. She felt there was nothing strange at home.
She didn't see Mo Li nor Lucas Hawk in the living room. Though strange, yet she didn't care. She went directly upstairs.
When Mo Li learnt that Evelyn Davis had arrived home, her bandage was soaked by blood.
She was eager to complain to her husband. She didn't see any conflict between those two these days. So, she thought she could teach her a lesson.
She calmed down again after her strong impulse.
Lucas Hawk would certainly mad at Evelyn Davis. She showed no fear today at the restaurant. Mo Li thought if the woman influenced Lucas Hawk any further, she would be the one losing.
It was Evelyn Davis who spoke rudely first.
She was not willing to be treated like this.
Her eyes twinkled. She had an idea.
***
That evening, Lucas Hawk came home from work. Evelyn Davis hadn't been greeting him lately.
He didn't care. He greeted Evelyn Davis then went to shower.
Evelyn Davis did not respond. After Lucas Hawk went inside the bathroom, she looked at the bathroom door and listened to the water pouring down.
It seemed that Mo Li didn't say anything to him. Otherwise, Lucas Hawk couldn't have come back without asking.
She frowned slightly. She knew something was wrong.
Mo Li must had planned something. She wouldn't spare her easily.
After Lucas Hawk finished, he asked Evelyn Davis to go downstairs for dinner. He saw Mo Li sitting in the dining room with a swollen face.
Mo Li saw Evelyn Davis who was walking behind Lucas Hawk.
"What happened to your face?" Lucas Hawk noticed her eyes and asked.
He felt something was strange between Mo Li and Evelyn Davis. He asked again, "What happened?"
Evelyn Davis looked at Lucas Hawk and Mo Li. She lowered her head and said, "Nothing happened. There was a dispute. I gave her a lesson."
Lucas Hawk was surprised when he heard that. He couldn't believe Evelyn Davis was capable of hitting people.
"What's the matter? What makes you so angry?"
Lucas Hawk was confused. Evelyn Davis didn't respond. She asked the housekeeper to serve the meal, instead.
The housekeeper glanced at Lucas Hawk and saw that he had no objection. The housekeeper then called the servant.
Lucas Hawk could see that Evelyn Davis didn't want to talk about it and didn't want to be questioned. So, he planned to ask Mo Li later after dinner.
Mo Li was glad to see their interaction.
It seemed that her plan worked perfectly.
As long as she could act naturally, she could definitely separate her husband from that woman.
Evelyn Davis didn't know about all this. She went back to her room after she had dinner.
Lucas Hawk frowned. He was helpless.
He didn't understand what happened that Evelyn Davis tried to keep her distance from him up until now.
He send someone to the Davis Group. He found out that there was no problem there.
He could only suppress his feeling and turned to Mo Li.
Maybe this time, he could break the ice between them.
"Come to my study." said Lucas Hawk. He got up and went upstairs.
Mo Li watched him leaving. She followed him.
"What's the matter? Why did madam do this to you?" Lucas Hawk asked in a calm manner.
Mo Li told him what happened during the day.
She didn't make up things. She just described it exactly as what happened.
"I didn't know that he was a friend of madam. He must be not a close friend either. I was worried so I did some impulsive things and said something to him. Madam was angry and started fighting me."
Mo Li looked as if she was wronged while admitting her mistake, but inside her heart, she was very happy, because she clearly felt the change in Lucas Hawk.
