Chapter 736
Felix and Stella were already upset with Lucas over him taking Evan to Westbridge the day before.
And seeing him looking so miserable only made their expressions worse.
Feeling the hostility coming from both of them, Lucas cleared his throat. “I really didn’t do it on purpose.
Felix and Stella said nothing.
They just looked at him coldly.
Lucas could barely stand those looks. He grew anxious. “I really didn’t do it on purpose p>
“Evan called me yesterday and said everything was over. He asked me to take him to Westbridge p>
“He said everything was over. Of course I thought you two were divorced p>
When it came to helping Evan, Lucas was speechless.
How had Evan managed to fool him so smoothly?
Didn’t he feel even a little guilty?
Didn’t he realize what Lucas would have to face after helping him?
Sometimes, the person who stabbed you in the back really was your so-called best friend.
At the word “divorce,” Stella and Felix’s gazes turned even colder.
Lucas fell silent.
Fine.
Nothing he said was going to clear this up.
“I know I was wrong p>
His father had drilled it into him that morning: come here and fix this.
But all the way over, Lucas had thought it through again and again.
Other than apologizing, what else could he do?
Apparently, nothing.
Felix narrowed his eyes. “You drove all the way to Westbridge, and you didn’t talk about anything? Or are you just that slow p>
Harbor City was a long way from Westbridge.
If Lucas and Evan had talked on the road, there should have been some clue.
Unless Lucas was too dense to notice it.
Lucas said, “He didn’t talk to me. The second he got in, I asked if he was divorced. He just said, ‘Yeah,’ then went to sleep p>
Thinking back, that single “yeah” could have meant any number of things.

Lucas regretted not pressing him for details in the car.
If he had only asked one more question, he would not be in this mess now.
“He didn’t say a single thing the whole way?” Stella’s expression turned more dangerous.
“Not a word p>
“My brain isn’t that bad. If he had said anything else, I would’ve noticed p>
At the words “my brain isn’t that bad,” Felix and Stella exchanged an unreadable look.
Lucas finally lost patience.
“What is that look supposed to mean p>
Stella said, “If you had any sense at all, you wouldn’t have driven him to Westbridge p>
“I thought it was over p>
Seriously, how many times did he have to say it?
This had nothing to do with whether he was smart or not.
He had simply believed Stella and Evan were finished.
He thought it was over.
So, remembering their friendship, he had only given Evan a ride.
Felix said, “Everything is always what you assumed. Does your father know you make decisions like that p>
The coldness in Felix’s voice was impossible to hide.
Lucas said nothing.
Under Felix’s overwhelming pressure, he immediately shut up.
He did not dare say another word about what he had assumed.
Faced with that suffocating presence, Lucas finally asked, “Then tell me what I’m supposed to do p>
“My father said if you two aren’t over this by today, I shouldn’t bother going home p>
Thinking of how frightened his father was of Felix’s methods, Lucas could only feel helpless.
Some friendship this had turned out to be.
