Slowly Falling into His Love Trap-Chapter 139:

"You..." Evelyn stuttered in fright, "You must be joking, right?"

"We’re a married couple, so there’s no problem taking a bath together." Caden Lockwood described it calmly, as if stating the obvious.

He paused for a moment, and specifically asked, "Aunt May, isn’t that right?"

"Sir is absolutely correct!" Aunt May responded enthusiastically.

Evelyn’s face turned stiff, she looked at Caden Lockwood, then at Aunt May, and felt they must be joking.

She and Caden were in a contract marriage!

They could get divorced at any time!

They’re not a real couple, so why should they bathe together?

"I... um... haha..." She had lost her appetite, "I’m full, so sleepy, I’ll go to sleep."

Watching Evelyn’s hasty departure, Caden Lockwood’s lips curled into a faint smile as he continued to eat, his actions unhurried.

"Aunt May." Caden’s tone was neither warm nor cold, "When it comes to her bathing, don’t interfere."

Aunt May nodded, looking like she wouldn’t help even if it killed her. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Back in the bedroom, Evelyn felt a chill down her spine, glanced at the bathroom, and all her hair stood on end.

In such hot weather, not taking a shower might be avoidable for a day, but not for several days in a row!

But having Caden help her bathe?

It’s not that she’s crazy, but he must be, right?

She was so anxious she started pacing, thinking to use her left hand to quickly wash up before Caden finished eating.

Securely closing the bathroom door, she turned on the shower, finding it difficult to undress with her right hand unable to move, leaving her left hand to manage.

It took a long time before she finally freed herself from all constraints, standing under the warm water, raising her right hand, slowly bathing with her left hand.

The bathroom door suddenly opened. Caden stood at the doorway, speaking in a dull tone, "Hand me the bath sponge."

"Ah—"

Evelyn screamed in shock, instinctively using her hand to cover her important parts.

Caden, quick-eyed and quick-handed, firmly grasped Evelyn’s right hand to keep it from touching the water, his voice stern, "Do you want to permanently ruin your hand?"

"I’m bathing!" Evelyn roared, "Get out, get out right now!"

"What part of you haven’t I seen?" Saying this, Caden looked down, taking in every inch of the view.

Her skin was very fair, the clear water running along her skin, tracing delicate, perfect curves. The droplets clinging to her body reflected the light, sparkling, making her appear tender, smooth, and inviting enough to tempt any man into crime.

But to take advantage of her at such a time, wouldn’t that be too inhumane?

Averting his gaze, he rudely snatched the bath sponge from her hand, squeezed some shower gel onto it, and pressed it against Evelyn’s chest, "Call me when you’re finished." His tone was gruff.

Evelyn stood in the bathroom, the door closing, leaving her alone again.

The fact that Caden had just been in here was definitely not her imagination.

Staring at the foam on her chest, she blinked blankly, for a long, long time, still not processing it.

"Not done yet?" Caden asked from outside the door.

"No!" Evelyn cried out, "If you dare come in again, I won’t let it slide!"

No more sounds were heard, she bit her lip in frustration,

Yes!

She looked down, her pretty little face dim without any joy, pale in helplessness, evoking pity.

Resigned, she moved her already stiff left hand, casually rinsed her body, then turned off the water, ready to dry off.
