Slowly Falling into His Love Trap

After all, Evelyn was so kind; she would compromise on many things for the sake of those around her.

Caden couldn’t control her, so he had to use this method to restrain her.

"It’s my fault." Evelyn’s tears fell, "I harmed her..."

"Next time, don’t run away." Caden spoke gently, "Evelyn, a single move from you might stir up a lot of things."

Through her blurry, tearful eyes, Evelyn looked at Caden, and her heart ached.

But what’s done is done; she can only find ways to make amends.

"Can I see her?" Evelyn asked, "I want... to apologize to her."

"She should be here in three days." Caden replied solemnly, "For now, let her rest well!"

Evelyn nodded, her life burdened with the sad and heavy guilt because of Yvette, like a dark cloud obscuring her clear skies.

Caden walked over to her, holding her in his arms, gently patting her back, soothing the unrest and guilt in her heart.

Evelyn lowered her gaze, wiping away her tears; right now, nothing she did would help. She could only wait until Yvette returned to her, then apologize and make amends...

After dinner, Evelyn prepared to go out for a walk with Caden. Just as they reached the door, Caden’s phone rang.

He answered the call and, a minute later, the conversation was over.

His expression turned dark suddenly, a chilling aura surrounding him, his gaze falling on Evelyn - both worried and pained.

Evelyn felt her heart leap to her throat, asking softly: "Wh... what’s wrong?"

From Caden’s expression, Evelyn knew that something certainly related to her had happened.

Tightening his grip on the phone, Caden hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Someone has told Cecilia Lynch’s mother about the relationship between Cecilia and Julian Keaton. Her mother couldn’t bear the blow and attempted suicide. She’s being rescued now."

Listening to Caden’s gentle words, Evelyn couldn’t react for a long time.

Having been friends with Cecilia for so many years, Evelyn certainly knew Cecilia was a devoted daughter.

Now, Cecilia’s mother attempted suicide, then... what would happen to Cecilia?

Caden gave Evelyn a deep look, then went to get the car keys, taking her hand, prepared to take her to the hospital to see.

"It’s me!" Evelyn’s complexion was pale, standing still, not daring to move, "It’s all because of me! It was because I came back that Cece’s secret was leaked! It’s all because of me!"

"Don’t panic yet." Caden held Evelyn, "Let’s go to the hospital first."

"I..." Evelyn shook her head, her face showing frightened terror.

She was scared.

Now, she was truly scared.

James Lockwood had once predicted that if she didn’t leave Caden, she would cause one person after another around her to have accidents.

Now, it seemed this prophecy was starting to come true.

Yvette faced flogging, they still didn’t know how she was. Even though she was a very capable bodyguard, how could she withstand the flogging?

Caden’s headaches worsened; the days she ran away from home, he almost had headaches daily.

Cecilia... might lose her mother.

Evelyn couldn’t help but recall Cecilia’s past words—if my mother passed away now, what meaning would all my past efforts and sufferings have?

Indeed!

All of this was really her doing!
