Slowly Falling into His Love Trap

After a pause, Eleanor Keaton continued speaking: "I’m different. Even if he doesn’t like me, I’m still the one everyone thinks is suitable for him! Moreover, I can give up everything for him. Whatever he needs, I can do! I love him! Let’s not compare family backgrounds; let’s see who truly loves him more!"

Upon hearing Eleanor’s words, Evelyn’s eyes widened.

In that instant, Evelyn was even more confused.

"Since I became aware, I’ve liked Brother Caden. Have you known him longer than I have?" Eleanor asked.

"..."

"For Brother Caden, I learned makeup, etiquette, cooking, everything I could do for him. Have you learned any of these?" Eleanor continued.

"..."

"Brother Caden is at an age where he can have a child. Once he does, his position at The Lockwood Group will be more secure. Are you willing to be a full-time housewife, have his child right away, and stay home to support him and raise the child?" Eleanor pressed on.

Listening to Eleanor’s relentless questioning, Evelyn’s legs weakened, and she fell onto the bed, speechless, unable to confront Eleanor with confidence.

"Tell me, what right do you have to stay by Brother Caden’s side?" Eleanor said coldly, "Evelyn, you’re unworthy!"

With those words, Eleanor turned around and left Evelyn’s room.

Evelyn sat stunned, Eleanor’s words echoing in her ears.

In her heart, Evelyn couldn’t help but ask herself—Am I really as inadequate as Eleanor says?

Tears fell in big drops as Evelyn clutched her chest, the pain as if trampled by a thousand horses persistently attacking her, forcing her to cover her mouth to keep from crying aloud.

What should I do?

What should she do?

Could it be that she really... isn’t suitable to stay by Caden Lockwood’s side?

Should she... leave?

But whenever the thought of leaving crossed her mind, Evelyn couldn’t bear it.

She didn’t want to leave!

She really didn’t want to leave!

That night, Evelyn’s eyes were never dry.

She lay on the bed, perhaps knowing Caden wouldn’t come in, yet still held on to a hope to keep waiting.

That night, Evelyn kept asking herself one question: What right does she have to stay by Caden Lockwood’s side?

She had no answer.

Daylight broke, and the birds outside the villa had been chirping for a long time, yet Evelyn remained lying in bed, showing no intention of getting up.

She admitted, the words Eleanor said last night had provoked her.

However, she didn’t want to admit defeat.

She was just struggling with one thing, that she kept facing defeat before Caden; did her battle plan need some change?

Seeing Evelyn still hadn’t woken up after a long time, Caden, who was worried about disturbing her sleep and hadn’t come in, was now anxious.

After all, she was about to miss breakfast time!

He pushed open the bedroom door and saw Evelyn lying on the bed with an expression of contemplation, and quickly walked to her side.

"You’ve been awake already, why aren’t you getting up?" Caden’s tone carried a hint of reproach, "Aren’t you hungry?"

"Were you busy all night?" Evelyn asked with a smile, "I’ll get up right away, let’s have breakfast together!"

"Everyone’s waiting for you." Caden said softly, "But don’t rush, take your time, don’t fall."

Evelyn nodded, lazily stretching.

As soon as she raised her hand, it was grabbed by Caden and forcibly lowered.

"Your body hasn’t recovered, this is considered intense exercise, you’re not allowed to do it again." Caden ordered firmly.
