The Queen Returns—And She's Unforgiving novel Chapter 144

This area was the largest hot spring pool. The view was comparatively the best. One could see the fireworks soaring into the sky, and the towering mountains in the distance.

Evelyn quickly sensed something wasn't quite right.

She had come in wearing a swimsuit, but if she were to take off her bathrobe now, it might be a bit inappropriate.

As such, she sat on the chair at the edge and looked in which direction Jason would go.

Jason hadn't guessed what Evelyn was thinking. Before he could guess, the attendant had already brought over a delicate fruit platter and drinks.

When he looked in Evelyn's direction, he happened to see her long, fair legs beneath the bathrobe.

Her figure was excellent. When she sat, her legs would cross naturally. This made her legs more eye-catching.

Jason abruptly looked away, clenched his fist, and coughed softly. He then went into the water.

His back was toward her, and he dared not look again.

He took out his phone and began replying to some Easter greetings on WhatsApp. She didn't notice what was going on with Jason as she was receiving Easter wishes from Sebastian, Justine, and the others as well. This included employees at Flying Seal Group who were getting along with her very well recently.

Evelyn sent her sincere wishes.

…

Meanwhile, after Jason finished replying to his messages, he noticed Fiona's avatar pop up in his feed. He tapped into it out of habit.

She posted a simple caption. "Happy Easter! May good things hop into our lives! Jason, when will you finally bring home a sweet and soft sister-in-law?"

He couldn't help but chuckle. He then swiped through the photos until he saw the one of him and Evelyn in bathrobes, their backs facing the camera.

Jason's expression subtly changed. He sat up straighter as he held his phone.

He stared at the photo and took a few seconds to calm down. Then, he quickly opened his chat with Fiona and wrote, "Delete the last photo. Others will misunderstand, and you'll be in trouble."

Fiona sensed the seriousness in his tone and replied, disappointed, "Okay…"

Right after Jason ordered her to do so, Evelyn also saw Fiona's post. She was rather surprised. Fortunately, their faces weren't visible, so it didn't affect her much.

"Who is this woman?"

"Jason, are you dating someone behind our backs?"

"I knew I heard a woman's voice on that call. What are you hiding from us?"

"Fiona suddenly deleted the post, but I saw it clearly!"

"Is it true?" messaged Tiffany.

Lucas hadn't said anything, but he had probably seen it too.

Jason frowned and instinctively looked up at Evelyn.

Evelyn was sensitive to gazes, so she looked over as well.

The indoor lighting was dim, which made the glow from Jason's phone screen especially bright and visible. As such, she couldn't help but see what was on his screen.
