Chapter 169 See the Light
Evan thought to himself, âWhat on earth happened?â
âCome in for breakfast!â Stevenâs voice was low as he hung up the phone.
Evan hesitated, muttering to himself, âHow am I supposed to eat in front of that iceâcold face?â
But he knew he couldnât just skip it.
Seeing the door ajar, he stepped inside.
Steven was already seated at the dining table, fork in hand, enjoying his breakfast.
The spread included egg pancakes, steak, and milkâall his favorites.
He had always been satisfied with the breakfast Diana prepared.
Steven pondered, âWhen did everything start to change?
It all went downhill after Queenie returned.
All her tricks were only possible because of my indulgence.â
Evan sat down across from him, eyeing the delicious spread. âThanks for the breakfast, Mr. Gellar,â he said with a smile.

Steven took a bite of the black pepper steak before asking, âDid you look into what I asked you about last night?â
âMr. Gellar, you really do have a knack for predicting things. The Farley familyâs branch office has been facing issues lately, but they canât seem to pinpoint the cause. Cecilâs been handling it, but so far, no luck. Theyâve already lost two partnerships, which is a real shame.â
Steven narrowed his eyes, recalling Dianaâs earlier words.
He lowered his gaze and continued eating.
Noticing the silence, Evan picked up his pace, eager to fill the void.
âBy the way, Mr. Gellar, was Queenie here last night? I saw Ms. Bishop come in, but she left right away. A few minutes later, Queenie came out too.â
Stevenâs expression darkened as he shot Evan a look. âHow could Queenie possibly stay here?â
Evan couldnât help but interject, âMr. Gellar, donât forget that a few months ago, Queenie was allowed to stay here. The guest room is still stocked with her designer clothes and personal items.
âAnd she couldâwaltz into your room anytime. Remember how Ms. Bishop mentioned that this place was home for both of you, so Queenie coming over wasnât appropriate? You remember
Chapter 169 See the Light what you said?â
Of course, Steven remembered. Back then, he had thought he was going to marry Queenie.

The tension between Diana and Queenie had been unbearable, especially with all the company troubles piling up.
He had been on edge, and his frustration often spilled over onto Diana.
Setting down his fork, Steven said, âGet someone to throw out all of Queenieâs clothes upstairs. From now on, sheâs not allowed back here.â
Evan blinked, nearly moved to tears.
âMr. Gellar! Congratulations! Youâve finally seen the light. Before Queenie came back, you and Mrs. Gellar were doing so well. You couldnât see, and you couldnât stand on your own. Caring for someone in your condition is no walk in the park.
âBut Mrs. Gellar never complained. She helped you with therapy, took care of you, cooked for youâshe was always running around.
âIn Queenieâs eyes, all that hard work was reduced to nothing. more than being a caretaker.â
Evan chuckled as he polished off his breakfast, then called someone to come and clear out Queenieâs belongings.

Meanwhile, Diana was seething as she headed to the office.
4/4
The thought of Steven and Queenieâs shameless antics made her blood boil.
Since Queenieâs return, she had constantly meddled in their relationship. Diana had given Steven countless chances, but he only had eyes for Queenie, always forgiving her misdeeds.
Even though Diana no longer loved him, the memories still stung.
Diana pushed open the office door, her eyes blazing with fury as she took in the scene before her.
