The Queen Returns—And She's Unforgiving novel Chapter 197

Jason also found it rather intriguing and urged, "Go on, tell us."

Mason glanced at Tiffany and then gave Evelyn a meaningful look. "There are only two ladies here. How about a little competition between the two in golf?"

Evelyn paused and looked up. She noticed that everyone was looking at her.

Tiffany said in an ambiguous tone, "Mason, you sure have some wild ideas."

Mason shrugged. "We've already played a few rounds, and we all want to see you two go head-to-head. Right, Lucas?"

Lucas looked up at him. "You really should ask the ladies what they think."

Tiffany toyed with her golf club. With confidence in her eyes, she said, "I have no problem with it."

The question naturally fell to Evelyn. She calmly withdrew her gaze and said, "I'm not very good at golf."

She wasn't about to force herself into it. Of course, she understood exactly what Mason intended. He knew that Tiffany was skilled in golf and could easily outshine her. He probably thought that under everyone's watchful eyes, Evelyn would agree to compete with Tiffany out of spite.

"Even if you're not very good, you should at least know the basic rules, right?" Mason pressed. He left her no way to decline as he continued, "It's just a practice round. And if you're not comfortable, we can always play doubles. You guys can each pick a partner."

He left absolutely no leeway for Evelyn to say no, making her frown.

She turned her head and saw Donald looking very pleased with Mason arranging the activity. Thus, out of a sense of decorum, she eventually decided not to kill the mood.

"Pick someone to team up with for doubles," Mason said. He let Evelyn have her pick.

Then, he looked at Tiffany with an ambiguous expression. "As for Tiffany, that's a given. She's definitely going with Lucas," he remarked.

Lucas lounged casually, smiling faintly without commenting. It was obvious he was game to team up with Tiffany.

Seeing that, Tiffany chuckled and gave Mason a reproachful look.

Jason, being in the know, gave Evelyn a complicated look, but she just kept her eyes down as if it were none of her concern.

Lucas smiled in response.

Mason looked at Tiffany with admiration. She was so confident, gracious, radiant, and attractive. She was no ordinary woman. She couldn't be bothered with petty rivalries or jealousy.

No wonder Lucas wasn't interested in the cold and dull Evelyn. After all, who would like an incompetent and uninteresting woman?

Evelyn didn't care about what they were doing. She simply went off to adjust her form. It had been a while since she last played golf, and her technique was noticeably rusty.

Tiffany and Mason worked well together while Lucas handled his shots effortlessly.

As for Evelyn, she swung her club calmly and steadily.

After Lucas sank another ball, he finally cast a sideways glance at Evelyn. Then, he walked over, leaned in slightly, and gently grasped Evelyn's wrist while letting his other hand rest softly on her lower back. Fixing his gaze on her face, he said unhurriedly, "Don't be nervous."

He added, "And if you're having a hard time, you're more than welcome to call for me."
