Cold Husband Burning Regret: The Divorce He Couldn't Handle novel Chapter 699

Lilith guiltily looked away, "Uh, I meant, she still likes you, so how could she agree to divorce you?"

Evander stared at her for a good while, finally noticing something off.

He put down the document, leaned back in his chair, and looked at her, "Are you talking about me and her, or about yourself?"

She was startled, and her gaze immediately became evasive, "Me? What... what could I possibly be talking about?"

"You're worried that now that I'm divorced, that Mr. Carstairs will have a chance." Evander smiled faintly, directly hitting the nail on the head, "Don't think I haven't noticed your interest in that Mr. Carstairs."

Lilith was instantly speechless.

She hadn't been talking about that at all! Wait, how did Evander know she liked Judd?

Lilith's fingers unconsciously picked at her nails, her speech even faltering, "You're talking... talking nonsense! Since when did I have feelings for him..." Before she could finish, she met Evander's knowing gaze, and the rest of the sentence got stuck in her throat. She immediately changed the subject, "I don't care what you do! Just wait until you're crying!"

Afraid he would press further, Lilith didn't dare say another word and hurriedly left.

Natalie watched her go, replaying Lilith's unfinished sentence in her mind. She was probably overthinking it...

"By now, my uncle should have finished the preparations for the engagement banquet with the Pembrokes, I presume?"

Natalie snapped back to attention and nodded slightly, "The venue is all set. But I don't understand something. Elder Pembroke knows about the relationship between the two families, and Young Master Pembroke is also aware that you know this secret. Yet they still insist on going through with the engagement. Aren't they afraid you'll expose it first?"

If Jensen knew about the identities of Chrystal and Jonathan, how could he have made such an absurd decision?

Evander's fingertips tapped rhythmically on the desk. His expression was calm and indifferent. "This old affair is the late patriarch's scandal. If it comes to a point where it must be revealed, who do you think would suffer more, the Howards or the Pembrokes?"
