Evelyn was speechless, the hot water poured over her entire body, and she trembled violently, with her hands clasped tightly over her chest, her face awash with scalding droplets. She couldn’t tell if it was the shower water or tears.
The water trickled into the corners of her mouth, so salty, so bitter.
The taste of shower water... is this what it’s really like?
Evelyn’s legs buckled, and she collapsed to the floor, burying her head in her knees, finally unable to hold back the grievance and pain in her heart. She sobbed uncontrollably...
At the same time, Caden Lockwood entered the study, slammed the door shut, and sat on the sofa, completely disregarding his soaked clothes, just sitting there, emanating a chilling hostility.
The fire within the man, once ignited, was now a furious blaze, the swelling demanding release, yet he kept it caged, only allowing it to roar, making him even more uncomfortable.
His hands clenched into fists, the thick veins bulging frightfully and terrifyingly. Wherever he looked, it carried a freezing severity.
He hated himself for not becoming the person in Evelyn’s heart, repeatedly hurting her instead.
If only the one she loved was him, how wonderful that would be?
When it came to Evelyn, Caden realized how utterly helpless he was.
Back then, where did he find the confidence that she would surely fall in love with him?
Why couldn’t he find even the tiniest bit of it now?
At that moment, the door to the study opened.
Caden looked up, thinking it was Evelyn coming after him, a flicker of brightness ignited in his eyes, but when he saw it was Eleanor Keaton, that brightness was immediately replaced by an icy coldness.
"Get out!" Caden spat out coldly.
"Brother Caden." Eleanor smiled at Caden with deep affection, "I have something to talk to you about."
"Eleanor." Caden’s eyes narrowed, a thick threat in his tone.
"I just want one last chance!" Eleanor spoke urgently, "I know there’s a conflict between you and Evelyn. If in the end, your choice is not her, then... why can’t I have a chance?"
Caden frowned, lacking any patience.
His mind was filled with thoughts of Evelyn, and Eleanor’s presence only made him want to eliminate!
"Brother Caden." Eleanor’s face maintained a gentle and radiant smile, "Evelyn isn’t right for you. Divorce her and marry me. I promise you’ll be more at ease, less worried! Brother Caden, give me a try! Please?"
As her words fell, Eleanor took off her dress, clad in a bikini, appearing in front of Caden.
Caden’s dark brows furrowed tightly, his expression growing darker and more unpleasant.
His gaze fell on Eleanor’s well-formed body, yet his expression was unmoved, and his dark eyes harbored no wave of interest.
Seeing that Caden didn’t throw her out, Eleanor thought she had a chance.
She didn’t rush to approach Caden but stood in front of him, starting a seductive dance.
It’s what she’d learned from a restricted film.
To capture a man, this seemed essential!
Eleanor believed that faced with someone so beautiful and alluring, Caden would surely lose control!
Caden didn’t avert his gaze, but even though his eyes were fixed on Eleanor, it was as if he wasn’t really seeing her.
After the dance, Eleanor gently caressed her chest, her gaze toward Caden bold and inviting, then she cautiously approached him step by step.
Sitting on Caden’s lap, Eleanor blew a warm breath beside Caden’s ear, then softly said, "Brother Caden, I love you!"
With that, she prepared to kiss Caden’s lips.
