Taking the dolls from Cecilia Lynch’s hands, Evelyn gave Caden Lockwood a resentful look. Seeing the urging and warning in his eyes, she was helplessly frustrated.
Why does she have to do what he says? Can’t she muster up the courage to defy him?
But who is Caden Lockwood?
How many guts does Evelyn Morgan have to go against him?
"Cece, let introduce you," Evelyn’s voice was very soft, "This is my... husband."
Cecilia Lynch was stunned. Having known Evelyn for so many years, she understood why she had been so sullen just now.
It seems she was forced to make such an embarrassing introduction!
Caden Lockwood wasn’t very satisfied. Although Evelyn’s voice was small, at least the word "husband" was clear enough.
"I know Mr. Lockwood is your husband!" Cecilia said teasingly, "You don’t need to emphasize it again! Getting a tall, rich, and handso husband like that, are you trying to boast to the whole world?"
"Cece..." Evelyn bit her lip, feeling embarrassed and helpless.
Caden then pulled Evelyn to sit beside him, draping an arm over her shoulders, holding her close.
He looked up at Cecilia and said softly, "You’re my wife’s best friend, make yourself comfortable. Whatever you want for lunch, just order."
Cecilia quickly said, "I’m fine with just so vegetables."
Caden took it as her being polite.
After all, on the way here, Evelyn had told him that Cecilia loved at.
Caden couldn’t help but take another look at Cecilia.
Is this the woman who makes Julian Keaton drink in silence?
He wondered what story was there between Cecilia and Julian.
With Cecilia present, introductions over, Evelyn’s face gradually returned to a smile.
However, the conversation between Cecilia and Caden made her face turn dark instantly.
"Yeah! I think ’Erin Morgan’ suits her perfectly! You probably don’t know, but every ti she talks about her ’uncle,’ her eyes light up! I knew there was sothing going on between you two!" Cecilia laughed.
Evelyn panicked, secretly kicking Cecilia, glaring at her to hint at restraint.
Cecilia stifled her mischievous laugh, completely avoiding eye contact with Evelyn.
On the way here, she had already planned how to make Evelyn lose face a little.
Now, she absolutely wouldn’t pass up this opportunity.
Caden glanced at Evelyn, his eyes seed to say, "So you had bad intentions for all along."
"Don’t listen to Cece’s nonsense, she likes to exaggerate!" Evelyn’s voice got stuck in her throat, "I’m not like she said!"
"Oh, really?" Cecilia continued to tease, "Evelyn, we’ve known each other for so many years. How many tis have you worn a dress? You’re dressed so nicely today, are you two planning a wedding do-over?"
Evelyn’s face turned deep red.
She glared at Cecilia, thinking she made it clear over the phone not to make fun, so why is she losing control at the scene?
Just then, the room door opened again.
Julian Keaton walked in, glanced at Evelyn, then his gaze settled on Cecilia.
Seeing Julian, Cecilia’s face changed, even her scalp tingled.
How could she have forgotten, this al was to host Evelyn’s good friends, of course, it would also host Caden Lockwood’s good friends!
What now?
With Julian around, she couldn’t be too comfortable.
"Julian, this is my wife." Caden’s tone was natural, "Evelyn Morgan."
