Chapter 638 Take It Slow
An assembly of individuals gathered around the dining table. Evelyn's spirits were dampened due to Dermot's predicament, while Lucia, on the other hand, was in high spirits.
Lucia, seated between Wade and Hubert, alternated between showing concern for Wade and serving food to Hubert.
Evelyn cast a sideways glance at her, muttering a silent curse in her direction before choosing to disregard her.
Did Lucia truly believe she was being cunning? Did she imagine that both men were captivated by her?
Lucia's actions would not endear her to Wade, and they would only serve to discomfort Hubert, thus pleasing neither party.
Nevertheless, Evelyn held her tongue. She knew that after this day, Lucia and Hubert's relationship would inevitably progress.
At the dining table, Hubert openly declared his affection for Lucia to Blake and Dora, candidly expressing his wish to marry her.Lucia was far from pleased, her countenance even souring.She shot Hubert a glare, puzzled as to why he chose this moment to make his intentions known. If Wade were to misinterpret the situation, wouldn't her chances with him be jeopardized?"The Diaz family and our Kyte family are well-suited, but it ultimately depends on Lucia's feelings," Blake voiced his stance clearly, indicating his lack of opposition, leaving the decision to Lucia.Lucia was unwilling, of course, but she couldn't make it too apparent, lest Hubert become irate and utter something detrimental to her.She subtly signaled to her mother, who quickly understood: "Mr. Diaz, Lucia is still quite young. I'm not prepared to marry her off just yet.""What about Evey? She's my daughter, older than Lucia by two years and of a suitable age for marriage."Hubert's statement not only displeased Hubert but also soured Blake's expression.Blake sighed lightly as he said, "Evey isn't in a rush; I have other plans for her."Dora's expression turned sour. "Evey has other plans, but Lucia doesn't?"The favoritism was glaringly obvious, with the clear intention to marry off Lucia to make way for Evelyn. Dora was determined not to let Blake succeed."Lucia isn't exactly a child anymore." Blake's single statement laid bare his intentions to everyone present.Lucia turned pale, and Dora didn't look much better. However, with Hubert and Wade present, they restrained themselves from causing a scene.After the meal, Dora departed from the Kyte family, casting a fierce glare at Evelyn before departing, seemingly blaming Evelyn for the entire situation.Evelyn feigned innocence but chose not to engage. She was biding her time, waiting for Dora to make a move; if she didn't, where would she find evidence?At that moment, Evelyn likely didn't foresee that things wouldn't go as planned this time, nearly costing her dearly.In the living room, Evelyn and Wade sat sipping tea, while Lucia and Hubert's whereabouts were unknown. However, Evelyn noticed the two heading towards the garden.She didn't rush to intervene; the timing wasn't right."Uncle Kyte and I have begun making moves against the Roberts family. Things won't be too peaceful over at the Roberts' these days," Wade casually mentioned to Evelyn.Evelyn nodded, "Alright, take it slow, no rush."With the knowledge that Dermot was safe, she felt less urgency.Although she hadn't pinpointed who targeted Dermot, it was unlikely to be the Roberts family. Judging by the Doyle family's actions, it was probably someone from their ranks.But what did it matter to her?Since Dermot had made his position clear, why should she worry unnecessarily? She decided to disengage herself from matters concerning Dermot.
