Chapter 197
Hearing this, Evelyn's action stopped suddenly, and she was stunned for a while.
She had always spent her birthdays with her mother in former years.
In the past, whenever her birthday came, her mother would make a table of dishes and buy her a big cake to celebrate. But this year...... It seemed impossible.
Thinking of this, she felt lost and down for a while. The thought of having a birthday party also vanished.
As a matter of fact, if it hadn't been mentioned by Lucas, she would have forgotten her birthday.
And now she was playing the role of her sister Nora. She didn't know what Nora's birthday would be like.
Maybe she would hold a big birthday party or go hanging around with her friends?
She could not guess, nor did she know how to answer.
Finally, she chose to keep silent in order not to be exposed.
Lucas raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong? Haven't you made an idea?"
Evelyn was shocked, and immediately nodded her head to act like thinking and said, "I've been very busy lately.I think I will just let it go." She said, climbing into bed to rest.
Lucas looked at her figure of lying on her side and thought about it.
According to previous surveys, every year, Nora's birthday party was more important and had higher profile than any other thing in this family. First she would hold a party,a banquet, then she would have a night out with friends.
But just now he saw that there was confusion in this woman's face.
What was the matter?
He frowned and thought, but had no idea. Finally, he put it down and went into the bathroom to wash.
The next day, the first batch of ready-to-wear design drawings of the new brand have come out because Evelyn and Dale rushed to work these days. Lucas planned to visit the company today,so he let Envy just stay at home.
"Well,I have followed you to the company these days, and I didn't accompany your mother very well. I'm afraid she was upset for my being absent."
Envy concealed the loss and unhappiness of her eyes, and answered him liberally and dignifiedly.
Evelyn listened to her words and always felt strange.
But she just couldn't find where was strange. So she could only say goodbye under the pressure of discomfort in her heart.
Envy watched the two of them left and her face became mysterious and arcane.
She watched over there for a long time. And after the car faded away in her view, she turned around and went into the house.
"Envy, didn't you go to the company today?"
Sophia just sat in the living room and saw her. She was surprised and asked.
"Lucas will go to the branch office with Evelyn to deal with the new brand today.I don't think that there is a necessity for me to go there.I just wanna stay at home with you. I've been following Lucas to the company these days, but I haven't accompanied you very well." She responded with a smile, but it made Sophia wrinkle slightly.
"It's unnecessary and boring to be with an old lady like me. You young people should be together."
Otherwise, it would be no meaning for her to ask Envy to come here.
Although Sophia did not say it, Envy could still feel her dissatisfaction with her choice, and her eyes flashed for a moment.
Just as she was about to say something, the housekeeper came in.
"Madam, Amelia comes to see you."
As soon as the housekeeper finished speaking, Amelia came in from the door.
"Aunt Sophia,I am coming to see you."
When she finished saying, she had already come to Sophia and held her hand intimately.
"Why did you come here? And you didn't tell me in advance, or I could ask the driver at home to pick you up."She asked, nodding her forehead with love.
Sophia was so happy to her int!macy.
"I just heard that Vivian was hurt, so I come to see her. What's more, here is my home. Do I need to notice anyone when I come back?"
When she finished speaking, she looked as if she had just seen Envy sitting on the opposite sofa and was surprised, "Oh, Miss Miller is here too. Sorry, I just was so excited to see aunt Sophia that I didn't notice you."
Envy looked at her affected pose, stayed calm, and said in a gentle and courteous way, "It's all right."
Sophia saw that these two girls got along well. She was relieved to be so calm because she had thought that they would quarrel or even fight when they saw each other.
She asked Amelia to sat down beside her and asked about her recent situation.
"Recently, I am okay. I've been doing nothing every day. I'm a little bored."
What she said was true. She was really bored at home.
When Envy saw the situation, she raised her eyebrows and said, "I heard that Miss Morgan had been helping Lucas manage the company before. Why didn't you do it after that?"
She asked innocently, but Amelia felt that the she talked about this topic purposely.
"Dear Lucas was afraid that I would be tired, and aunt Sophia has always been at home alone, so he hoped I could accompany aunt Sophia more at home."
She deliberately said vague words to stimulate Envy, but her face was still unchanged. To Amelia's surprise, she even praised her.
"Miss Morgan is very filial. You deserve aunt Sophia's love."
Envy said as if she was an elder of hers, which made Amelia extremely uncomfortable and irritated.
She wanted to find fault but this word was really correct, and finally she could only hold her breath, looking at Sophia.
"Aunt Sophia, do you have someone clean my room? I want to go up and have a rest."This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
When Sophia heard this, her face was frozen and she did not know how to tell Amelia for a moment.
Because the room which had been originally for Amelia now belonged to Envy.
Maybe Envy saw her dilemma, so she took the initiative to solve the siege, "Miss Morgan,I am afraid that you have to rest in the guest room because your former room now has been lived by me.I put many things in that room. It may take a long time to spare some space for you."
Hearing such words, Amelia suddenly got in great anger and her face looked so sombre.
It felt like something important of one's own has been replaced by others.
Sophia also saw her bad face, and this things was really done by her. She was afraid of being criticized by Amelia, so she simply excused herself to go out.
"I'll see what's in the kitchen. Amelia, you just for dinner in the evening."
Of course, Envy knew that Sophia was escaping, but she didn't say anything. She smiled and politely watched her go out.
With the departure of Sophia, Amelia could no longer resist the anger in her heart and shouted sarcastically, "Envy, how hypocritical you are in front of Sophia! I know clearly about what kind of person you are."
Envy raised his eyebrows and said with a light smile, "So what? Don't forget that you've lost now, and I can stay in Lucas's office every day and talk with him and work together."
Hearing this, Amelia burst into a fury.
She once had also dreamed about this. But the dream had never come true.
Envy clearly saw her anger, then she continued to sneer as if it was still not excessive," I heard that someone played a lot of tricks, especially the way of dedication. It is good, but it is easy to mess up, let along in front of a person like Lucas. Look at you now.l, guess you must have learned many lessons from this?"
Sneered by Envy, Amelia's face turned green and white. Then she laughed angrily as if she thought of something and said, "Oh, are you really sure that you have the advantage so you will absolutely win? Envy Miller, I will tell you by truth who the real winner is!" Envy looked at her aspirations in a certain way, and her eyebrows could not help wrinkling up.
