Slowly Falling into His Love Trap Chapter 131: Just Call Him "Hubby

"Back to the Lockwood Family," the bodyguard replied respectfully.

"If you dare lay a finger on her, I promise you’ll be joining her in the grave!" Caden Lockwood’s voice was stern, "Give her the phone back!"

The bodyguard bowed his head and handed the phone back to Evelyn Morgan.

Evelyn was curious why Caden Lockwood always finished his conversations with others in just a few words.

Every ti she wanted to talk to him, it always took a really long ti.

"Are you scared?" Caden’s voice was soothing.

"Not really," Evelyn whispered, "Did you... settle everything with them?"

"This is the ti for you to face your father-in-law," Caden spoke calmly, "My dad didn’t call back; it seems he wants to talk to you alone."

"How can you do this!" Evelyn was anxious, "Are you planning to stand by and do nothing?"

She wasn’t stupid; from just one disdainful look from Jas Lockwood, she already knew

— he didn’t like her,

She couldn’t believe Jas Lockwood simply wanted to see his daughter-in-law and talk.

What she was going to face next was definitely not ordinary trouble and reproach!

"It’s not that serious," Caden joked deliberately, "Relax, he won’t kill you."

"Hey!" Evelyn shouted, "Caden Lockwood, if you dare watch this like a show, I’m not finished with you!"

Upon hearing this, the bodyguard next to them twitched his face.

He had been with the Lockwood Family for quite so ti, and it was the first ti he heard soone dare speak to Caden Lockwood like that.

And judging by Evelyn’s tone, she seed very familiar with it!

Indeed... in the face of true love, any principle can be broken.

"Evelyn, if you don’t want to die, be gentle with !" Caden’s voice was restrained, "Now, apart from , who else can you turn to?"

"You!" Evelyn clenched her fists in anger, yet she had no choice but to relent.

After all, she really couldn’t find anyone else to help her!

"What do you want?" She lowered her tone.

"Call ’husband,’" Caden laughed lightly, "and I’ll co to save you."

Call him husband?

Evelyn resisted from within.

He must be teasing her!

At a ti like this, he’s still joking around?

"Won’t call?" Caden raised his pitch, "Then you’ll have to deal with my dad on your own! He’s not soone to be tangled with, used to being fawned upon; his temper can flare up unpredictably. Sotis, he doesn’t need you to make a mistake; if he’s upset, he’ll take it out on you."

Pausing, he continued, "And you, as his daughter-in-law, must honor filial piety above all. Even if you’re wronged, you can only bear it yourself."

"Are you... kidding?" Evelyn’s heart was in her throat, "I... I..."

"Will you call or not?" Caden pressed, "I’m very busy; I don’t have much sympathy to spare for you."

As he spoke, Caden unconsciously accelerated the car.

Evelyn was torn; calling him ’husband’ would an Caden would co to her rescue, sparing her from facing Jas Lockwood on her own.

If she didn’t call, was he really planning to leave her to fend for herself?

He... seed capable of doing anything.

But to call him husband?

It was just a title, but now, she’s already given him her first ti, and they already had a marriage certificate; if she called him ’husband’...

Why did she feel she’d be getting deeper down the road of becoming Mrs. Lockwood, unable to stop?

Cecilia Lynch’s words echoed in her ears: "Are you just going to give your body and reputation for nothing? You might as well just honestly be Mrs. Lockwood. After all, your uncle is pretty good to you, isn’t he?"

It seed... Cecilia’s suggestion wasn’t wrong either.
