Taking a deep breath, Evelyn covered her chest, still feeling nervous.

No way!

She absolutely can’t wait any longer!

Continuing to pretend to be sick couldn’t keep Caden Lockwood at all!

Thinking this, Evelyn almost immediately turned around, opened the bathroom door a little, and called out sweetly, "Honey, I forgot to bring a towel. Can you get it for me? It’s hanging on the balcony."

Caden Lockwood looked up and indeed saw a towel on the clothes rack.

He clenched the book in his hands, his expression awkward and gloomy.

While Evelyn was bathing, he was already suffering.

He couldn’t help but imagine droplets of water falling on her body, her skin white and smooth, a touch so irresistible that once you touched it, you wouldn’t want to let go.

His mind conjured images of her blooming with feminine charm beneath him, and he keenly noticed that his well-fitting trousers had long since become tight.

When it came to her, he never could remain calm.

"Honey!" Evelyn called again, "Are you out there?"

"Yes." Caden hurriedly responded.

Getting up, he took a deep breath, put down the book, tightened his fists, picked up the towel, and forcefully suppressed those churning physiological urges before stepping towards the bathroom door.

Caden faced away from Evelyn, reached out, and handed the towel through the door.

Seeing Caden completely avoiding looking at her, Evelyn awkwardly curled her lips.

She never imagined that he wouldn’t play according to the usual script!

He actually didn’t even look at her?

Evelyn was anxious and flustered, and what she originally planned to do next left her at a loss.

Now, there’s even a mistake midway?

"Honey." Evelyn’s voice stuck in her throat, "The hot water seems to have a problem. It’s either too cold or too hot. Could you... adjust it for me?"

After saying this, Evelyn bit her lip hard, lowering her head helplessly, her ears even turning crimson.

The seduction tactics Cecilia Lynch taught her, they sounded simple, but when it came to doing them, they were really too difficult!

Especially since... she was facing Caden Lockwood, a man who was trying every way to reject her!

"Cold?" Caden hurried, "Why didn’t you say so earlier?"

As soon as the words were out, he turned around, ready to enter the bathroom.

Evelyn didn’t have time to dodge, stepping back instinctively, but her footing slipped, and she began to fall.

"Ah—"

Evelyn let out a sharp scream.

Next, Caden quickly reached out, catching Evelyn waist-deep, and with force, pulled her up tightly into his arms.

Thud—

Thud—

Evelyn’s body pressed tightly against Caden’s, in fear, she hugged him tightly.

She could clearly feel that at this moment, their hearts were miraculously beating at the same frequency.

Thud—

Thud—

Evelyn’s heart raced as if it were a runaway horse. Yet he remembered: the person in Evelyn’s heart was not him.

She had only asked him to pass a towel, and he was already having inappropriate thoughts?

Caden felt that his behavior towards Evelyn was truly beastly.

"I’m sorry."

Leaving behind those cold three words, Caden turned and walked away.

Evelyn stood there dumbfounded, watching Caden’s back, and instinctively shouted, "Stop right there!"

Is he... humiliating her?

Things had already gone this far, and he just walked away?

But Caden seemed to have not heard Evelyn’s words at all, still striding forward, without a moment’s pause, with only the sound of a gently closing door left behind.
