Evelyn’s breath caught, unmistakably sensing a palpable tension.
Oh my goodness!
Logan Shaw asking this question is simply provoking Caden Lockwood’s anger!
But why does she suddenly want to know the answer to this question so badly?
Evelyn feels she must be going crazy!
Isn’t her priority now to quickly change the subject?
Why does she still want to hear the answer?
"This..."
Evelyn had just uttered a syllable when Caden Lockwood raised his hand and drew her into his arms.
With strong, muscular arms, he firmly enveloped her within his embrace. Caden Lockwood looked at Logan Shaw, his smile deepening as he spoke in a low, pressing tone: "Who said my wife and I are just holding on to a strained relationship?"
Logan Shaw watched Caden Lockwood, only to hear him continue: "My wife and I are incredibly happy and loving, with her, I can forget all my worries. My wife has this magical ability to make people happy, aren’t you especially envious that I have her?"
Listening to Caden Lockwood, Logan Shaw’s hand holding the chopsticks shook montarily.
He let out an awkward laugh, then continued asking: "Then doesn’t Mr. Lockwood plan to hold a wedding, letting everyone know your wife is Evelyn?"
"Doing things too extravagantly will only bring trouble to my wife. I understand my wife well; she just wants to lead a normal life." Caden Lockwood’s voice was calm and steady, yet carried a powerful, persuasive force.
Pausing briefly, he continued: "Besides, I’ve already announced my wife’s identity at the banquet, those who need to know, already know. However, I’m quite troubled, my wife is too excellent, and plenty of people still have intentions towards her!"
Listening to Caden Lockwood’s words full of implications and provocation, Evelyn’s lips curled up awkwardly.
She secretly tugged at his clothes, hoping he would tone down his overbearing attitude.
After all, nothing really happened between her and Logan Shaw!
Logan Shaw even specially reminded her not to lend him any money.
If he truly wanted to stir trouble, accepting the money would certainly create a big storm!
Caden Lockwood looked down, tightening his grip on Evelyn even more assertively.
With a hint of complex affection between his brows, Caden Lockwood chuckled softly: "Silly girl. Stay by my side all the ti, don’t wander off, don’t give ill-intentioned people a chance, okay?"
Evelyn t Caden Lockwood’s gaze, her hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
Although he was smiling, his eyes contained a serious warning.
Evelyn blinked and responded with a tiny, almost inaudible sound.
Faced with this mont’s Caden Lockwood, she didn’t dare to defy him at all.
Her heartbeat racing faster than usual, Evelyn dared not et Caden Lockwood’s gaze any longer, pretending to be busy, letting her eyes wander everywhere.
Caden Lockwood suddenly leaned in, planting a deep kiss on Evelyn’s forehead.
He softly said: "That’s a good girl." His tone filled with intense affection.
Feeling the warmth on her forehead, Evelyn’s face turned beet-red.
Could Caden Lockwood please stop doing this in public?
He was clearly angry just now, and this sudden calm is quite terrifying!
Logan Shaw observed Evelyn; she lay quietly in Caden Lockwood’s embrace, with no slightest intention to break free.
Furthermore, when Caden Lockwood kissed her, she would subconsciously close her eyes to enjoy.
Have they both gotten used to this kind of intimate contact?
With a heavy heart, Logan Shaw stopped talking, focused on eating, occasionally glancing at Evelyn, whose flushed cheeks stood out conspicuously.
After the al, Logan Shaw found an excuse to leave first.
Caden Lockwood called after him, saying coldly: "If you need it, I can sponsor your concert." His tone was filled with benevolence.
