Slowly Falling into His Love Trap-Chapter 148:

Hearing this, a flash of panic appeared in Evelyn’s eyes.

Lowering her gaze, she seemed to realize that Caden Lockwood’s rage wasn’t because she broke her promise, but because she had another man in her heart.

But she couldn’t reach someone like him.

Even if he intended to be with her for a lifetime, she wouldn’t dare to entertain that thought.

Being a wealthy man’s wife was a role she couldn’t handle.

If she told the truth, admitted she admired Logan Shaw for so many years, could she get a divorce and completely escape Caden Lockwood’s control?

When this thought crossed her mind, a complicated emotion inexplicably arose in her heart.

Like reluctance, like difficulty, like fear, but in any case, it lacked the ease she desired.

She thought she must be dizzy from the fire, her mind now burnt.

Opening her mouth, she wanted to answer him "yes," but the words wouldn’t come out.

She seemed to lose her voice, unsure if it was due to fear or reluctance.

But Evelyn didn’t need to answer; Caden Lockwood had already confirmed everything from her guilty expression.

Ha!

He, Caden Lockwood, had never failed so miserably in his life! 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Thanks to her, he finally knew the taste of defeat!

He swiftly grabbed her neck; her delicate white neck in his palm could be extinguished with just a slight force.

The sudden pressure snatched her breath away. She instinctively reached out to push his hand away, but just touching him caused her to recoil in pain.

Seeing her face turn crimson from suffocation, and her timid right hand daring not to reach further, his heart was in turmoil.

If only this woman were obedient, how great that would be!

And now, the urge to torment her prevailed, and he didn’t want to have any compassion for her at all.

Perhaps he used the wrong method.

From the beginning, he should have forcefully made her his woman, rather than repeatedly letting her go because of her feelings!

Tears fell unexpectedly, and Evelyn felt extremely miserable.

Having just escaped from a fire, was she going to be strangled now?

But the reason for her tears didn’t seem to be fear of death; it was because the person who wanted her dead was him.

She looked at him innocently and in panic, all her strength slowly draining, her eyes gradually closing in a daze, and through her eyelids, she still saw his murderous face.

Seeing her closing her eyes, as if she would die in his hands, a deep reluctance flashed in his eyes; ultimately, he couldn’t defy his heart and let go.

Breathing smoothly again, Evelyn coughed several times, clutching her neck, weakly looking at Caden Lockwood.

"Uncle..." Her voice was full of grievance and pity.

"You are Mrs. Lockwood." Caden Lockwood looked down at her, his eyes already clear and indifferent, without any extra emotions, "Before I allow you to leave, you will always be Mrs. Lockwood! Don’t... mmm—let go..."

Before he could finish, his mouth was blocked.
