The CEO’s Ex-Wife Is A Famous Doctor By LiLhyz Chapter 71

Chapter 71: Evan Cooking

Following Lucas’ question, Shantelle turned to Evan for help, but the man said to their son, “That’s entirely up to your mommy.”

Shantelle’s mouth fell open as she glared at Evan. ‘Great, so much for the help.’

“Please, Mommy. Please. I want a brother and then a sister and then a brother

again!” Lucas said, counting with his

fingers.

Before Shantelle could answer, however, she saw Keith walk in. She found a perfect excuse to change the topic. “Oh, look. It’s your Uncle Keith!”

“Hi, Uncle Keith!” Lucas waved. Then, he

saw a familiar lady who walked up behind

Keith. “Hi, Aunt Karise.”

Behind Lucas, Shantelle was shocked to see her friend arriving at the party with Keith. She could tell Evan was also taken

aback.

Keith and Karise first greeted Lucas. After which, they exchanged pleasantries with Shantelle and Evan.

Evan gave Keith that probing look that the latter mouthed, ‘Later.’

Shantelle was also curious, but Karise gave her that same face, the kind that suggested she would talk about it

afterward. They all ate at the same table. There was silence for the first few minutes, but eventually, Keith and Evan talked business, covering the insurance claims of Lockwood Children’s Hospital.

They were all mostly done with their

meals when Keith turned to Lucas and

asked how he was. Lucas happily shared

how he loved his new home, including enrolling in a new school. Lucas

described, “I’m going back to school next month.”

“That’s great, Lucas,” Keith said, giving the boy a high-five.

“And guess what, Uncle Keith? Mommy and Daddy will give me a brother soon!” Lucas announced, making Shantelle

choke on her wine.

Keith wound up frowning at Evan. He signaled Evan to join the boy’s table by

standing up and walking over to where Wendell was.

“Shanty, excuse me. I won’t take long,”

Evan said.

“Go, have time with your friends too,” Shantelle encouraged.

After Evan left, Karise moved to sit next

to Shantelle. She whispered, “Are you back together?”

“Um, no,” Shantelle admitted. “I want to think this through first. Lucas is just jumping to conclusions because I have allowed myself to spend time with Evan. I don’t want to put a name on it for now, but what’s with you and Keith?”

“Oh, me and Keith? Nothing, we are just friends!” Karise replied, her face turning

red.

“Okay, then. Why did you blush?” Shantelle asked. “There’s something else,

is there?”
