Slowly Falling into His Love Trap

James Lockwood looked at Shannon Dunn, then at Caden Lockwood, and finally his gaze fell on the evidence in his hand.

The office suddenly grew quiet, with only the sound of their breathing left.

James Lockwood was the first to break the silence, "Shannon Dunn, you’d better give me a reasonable explanation!"

"Madam, let’s leave first," Caden Lockwood spoke up at this moment.

"Caden!" James Lockwood called to him, "Don’t you intend to stay and hear Shannon Dunn’s explanation?"

"The Chairman can handle it," Caden Lockwood’s tone remained devoid of any emotion, "I don’t want to spend any more time on such a woman."

With that, Caden Lockwood took Evelyn Morgan’s hand and left.

Only after they returned to Caden Lockwood’s office did Evelyn Morgan take a deep breath, feeling her breathing become much smoother.

"What you said earlier about what Shannon Dunn did, is it all true?" Evelyn Morgan asked in amazement, "How could it be? How could she be foolish enough to do such a thing? Once discovered, her intention of marrying you would be a complete failure!"

"She overestimates herself, thinking she’s the smartest person in the world, of course she’d fall at my hands!" Caden Lockwood said with a proud tone.

Evelyn Morgan clicked her tongue and curiously continued to ask, "So what’s going to happen to Shannon Dunn next? Does what she did constitute a crime?"

Upon hearing Evelyn Morgan’s question, Caden Lockwood’s expression darkened, his dark eyes filled with intense coldness and deep complexity.

Sensing something amiss, Evelyn Morgan quickly asked, "What’s wrong? Isn’t all the evidence found?"

"It depends on how my dad decides to handle it," Caden Lockwood said softly.

Besides, there are still doubts about Shannon Dunn’s matter.

"The Chairman just..."

"Alright, the only thing you need to remember is the part where I praised you," Caden Lockwood interrupted Evelyn Morgan’s continuing curiosity, "Forget about everything else! Leave it all to me to handle."

"How can it be like this?" Evelyn Morgan pouted, "You said I’d be in for a good show, but now I’m completely in the dark!"

"I praised you so earnestly, and you’re still in the dark?" Caden Lockwood tapped Evelyn Morgan’s forehead with force, "You heartless one!"

"How annoying!" Evelyn Morgan puckered her lips, "You’re the heartless one! In the future, don’t involve me in such things! The way Shannon Dunn looked at me just now was as if she wanted to eat me alive, how terrifying!"

"With me here, are you still afraid?" Caden Lockwood chuckled softly, "But, Madam, I’m very happy with what you said earlier. In the future, if you’re bullied, respond the same way instead of swallowing down grievances, okay?"

Evelyn Morgan nodded, stretched lazily, feeling rather sleepy.

But Caden Lockwood, who didn’t intend to tell her more, only made her more uninterested.

Seeing Evelyn Morgan’s drowsy yet adorable expression, Caden Lockwood’s face broke into an indulgent smile.

This girl is practically unbeatable when it comes to eating and sleeping!

"Go rest in the small inner room for a nap! I have some things to handle and can’t accompany you," Caden Lockwood arranged.

"Aren’t you going to take a break yourself?" Evelyn Morgan asked, "Working right after lunch?"

She was worried he wouldn’t be able to bear the strain.

If only Ashley Sutton could help treat him!

Caden Lockwood patted Evelyn Morgan’s head, his eyes showing adulation meant only for her, "Mm, you go sleep first."

Evelyn Morgan nodded, looked at Caden Lockwood with concern, and then went into the room inside the office to nap.
