The Gorgeous Substitute Wife of Mr. President

Evelyn regretted immediately after she said that.

Normally, she should take the chance and explain the misunderstanding to him when Lucas said that they may talk. However, somehow, the words turned to an angry mood when she said them.

Perhaps, that was because Lucas said those hurting words that she still could not be relieved.

Lucas understood that. His eyes showed a sense of regretting and he walked to the front of Evelyn with his lips pursed.

"I know that I said something excessive. I apologize to you. I was muddleheaded since the anger."

"Could that be the reason why you said that?"

Evelyn stared at him with her pink eyes that were full of grievances.

Lucas felt that his heart was grabbed tightly by an invisible hand. He felt bad a lot.

He embraced Evelyn in his arms and comforted her," It was my fault. I should never say that."

Evelyn struggled but she was locked by Lucas in his arms firmly.

"Don't move. Let me keep you in my arms for a while. I haven't embraced you for several days."

The tired voice of him made Evelyn hesitate.

She stayed still and let him embrace her like that. She also missed the feeling in his warm arms.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly went quiet.

After a long while, Lucas loosened his arms slightly.

He turned Evelyn around to let her look at him. Then he started talking about the beginning of their argument.

"I know that you are not getting along with Mo Li and there were a lot of misunderstandings. You are not satisfied with her. But Mo Li has worked for me for a long time. Mostly, she does things for the benefits of me. Perhaps, she did something wrong and made you unhappy or offended you. In fact, it's not necessary for you to haggle over with her. You are the hostess. She's just a bodyguard."

Evelyn was disappointed.

She thought that Lucas would give her a clear explanation but it end up with that he was being a peacemaker.

"Did she ever seem me her hostess?"

She sneered and pushed Lucas away.

Perhaps, Mo Li was a good employee of him.

But she understood that Mo Li's affection on Lucas was not that simple at all. She even framed Evelyn up in secret for a lot of times.

It was fine that Mo Li sneered her but this time, Mo Li framed her up with Mrs. Hawk.

Especially, every time when Lucas was in trouble or disappeared, that woman had always hidden the truth on purpose making Evelyn worried. Mo Li was even dared to get in Evelyn and Lucas's room when they were not there.

It could say that Mo Li's true mind was exposed and obvious.

Evelyn wanted to speak all them out since she was so aggrieved. But finally, she calmed down.

It was not because she was not caring. However, she knew that Lucas would not believe her even though she said. He would believe the half of her words at most.

Lucas frowned as he looked at the changing expressions on Evelyn's face. It seemed that he was promising," You are her hostess for sure!"

Evelyn lifted the corner of her lips sneeringly.

Lucas looked at her deeply," What's wrong? Do you think that I'm wrong?"

Evelyn looked at him firmly, right or wrong, there was already an answer in her mind.

She did not want to tangle with Lucas with those things. Because the problem between them was not those things at all.

"I can ignore that this time but I'd like to ask you, which one do you trust more between I and Mo Li?"

"Of course, you."

Lucas answered without hesitating, but Evelyn laughed.

"Me?"

"Don't you believe that?"

"I can't believe it indeed. You won't misunderstand me when they just told you a few words if you trusted me. You did not even give me a chance to explain." Evelyn blinked her eyes hard to force back the tears.

She looked at Lucas who was stunned there then she ignored him and took the stuff she packed in her hands. She was going to leave.

Lucas noticed her motions and grabbed her wrist subconsciously," Where are you going?"

When Evelyn was going to struggle, her phone rang.

"Dumb girl, where are you now? Are you trying to leave me starve to death?"

Xuan Jingyu's roar came through from the other side of the phone immediately when that phone was through.

Evelyn frowned. She looked at Lucas guiltily.

Lucas did not hear that clearly since the sound was changed passing through the air. He did not find that it was man.

He looked at Evelyn without any expressions on his face and that made Evelyn scared and nervous more.

"Hello? Are you listening? Say something!"

Xuan Jingyu felt it was strange and looked at the phone since he was not responded.

Evelyn collected herself and a sense of inpatient showed in her eyes," I'm still busy! Just order take-out if you are hungry!"

She hung up the phone immediately after she said that.

...

Meanwhile, in the old town.

"How dare that dumb girl hung up my phone!"

Xuan Jinyu looked at the phone in amazement. He collected himself after a long while. He moved his sight to the table full of delicious food. Those are he...ordered by himself from a 5-star hotel!

He planned to reward that girl, but the girl was ungrateful and she even hung up his phone.

"It's better you are not coming back. I can have these by myself!"

He went to the table with an angry mood. When he was going to have the meal, a man came in from the door.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

That was his heeler. Xuan Jinyu contacted him after Evelyn left.

"Young master, the old master asked me when you are going back?"

The motion of Xuan Jinyu having the meal was paused for a second then he frowned," I'm not going back, and I will stay here for several days."

"But it's not safe here. The old master would not agree with this. Besides, he's worrying about you and hoping you could go back as soon as possible."

"I contacted with him, didn't I? What is he worrying about? Besides, it's not a good time for me to go back."

As he said, he squinted his eyes giving people a dangerous feeling," I had never suffered such a loss in my life. Go investigate on it. Who the f**k attacked me? I will kill them after it was made clear." The man knew that his young master was in a rage. He nodded," I understood."

Xuan Jingyu sneered, and it seemed that he remembered something. He ordered again," Besides, go to investigate about that girl. Why she passed that alley coincidently."

The man nodded then turned to left.

...

In the Hawk's house, Evelyn knew that she was not able to leave when she was stopped by Lucas.

They parted on bad terms. All the new house was covered by a depressing mood.

Evelyn locked herself in the room at the beginning. But after she calmed down, she regretted a lot.

She could see that Lucas was trying to solve the problem between them, but he did not know what exactly the problem was.

As she was thinking randomly, it was already midnight.

Lucas came back to the room after he was done with the work.

Evelyn knew that he came back and her body was stiff uncontrollably. She tried to escape subconsciously by pretending sleeping.

But Lucas caught a little movement of her. He looked at Evelyn, but he did not expose her. Then he went to the bathroom.

After a while, the sound of water falling on the floor came through from the bathroom. The continuous patter of waterdrops made Evelyn's mind a mess.
