Slowly Falling into His Love Trap-Chapter 173: Why Have You Become So Rude?

"What’s wrong?" Logan Shaw asked, "Evelyn, your tone seems a bit off, did something happen?"

"In short... it’s just changing places!" Evelyn Morgan said urgently, "I’m on Maplewood Drive now, there’s a place called The Cozy Corner Diner, I’ll wait for you inside!"

With that, she hung up the phone.

She was furious!

Why did she have the urge to cry?

What on earth was wrong with her?

Could it be that she was really deceived by Caden Lockwood’s sweet words during this time?

"Are you crazy?" Evelyn Morgan bit her lip, looking very sad, "When so many things are uncertain, how can you do this? Even if it’s a habit, it’s not allowed! Have you forgotten the person you like is your big brother? Boo-hoo-hoo—Evelyn Morgan, you fool!"

She found a seat by the window and sat down. The server came over to take her order, and with reddened eyes, she fixated her gaze on the drinks menu, feeling a strange desire for them.

She had something important to ask Logan Shaw later!

Having a drink to bolster her courage actually seemed like a good idea!

"I’ll start with... a bottle of wine!" she said weakly, "I’ll order food when my friend arrives!"

The server nodded and brought a bottle of beer to Evelyn.

She opened the bottle cap and leaned in, immediately catching a whiff of a smell she didn’t like.

The mistake with Caden Lockwood that one night was also because of alcohol!

But, actually, alcohol can be a good thing!

At least when she was drunk, she completely forgot all the sadness and pain.

She thought that the drunken version of herself would be extremely unrestrained and happy.

She took a small sip of the beer, swallowing it down her throat, so bitter.

She tried taking another sip.

After all, this kind of thing tastes bad at first, but the more you drink, the more you get used to it.

Why did she feel like alcohol was just like Caden Lockwood?

At the beginning, all she wanted to do was stay far away from him, best if she never saw him again in this lifetime.

However, he forced himself into her daily life and even became her husband, and she got more and more used to him.

It seemed like living together with him had become something natural.

Hmph!

Who cares about being Mrs. Lockwood!

She actually had a man she liked!

She was just momentarily blinded by what people call habit.

After all, they had been living under the same roof for so long, she couldn’t help but feel somewhat attached!

She clearly tried to control her alcohol intake, not to drink too much, but once she started, she couldn’t stop.

Moreover, she found herself getting more and more sober the more she drank.

There was no sign of getting drunk!

She licked her lips, and the taste finally turned sweet.

Just as she was about to continue drinking, the bottle in her hand was suddenly snatched away.

Such a strong force, such a powerful coldness, she hadn’t even managed to look up before grumbling discontentedly, "Logan Shaw, when did you become so rude?"

Her gaze lifted in an instant, and what came into view was Caden Lockwood’s handsome yet icy and imposing face.

She rubbed her eyes, wondering if she was hallucinating.

He should be with Shannon Dunn right now!

Why was he here with her?

Wasn’t Logan Shaw supposed to come?

She instinctively looked behind Caden Lockwood, but there was still no sign of Logan Shaw.

But Caden Lockwood, because of her faintly murmured words, was filled with fury.

"Logan Shaw?" His voice squeezed out from between his teeth, the anger around him like a sudden gale, bitterly cold.

He and Shannon had come nearby for business, and then the bodyguard who was secretly following them suddenly called to inform him that Evelyn Morgan was also nearby and had seen him with Shannon.

Worried she’d misunderstand, he rushed over to find her, and when she started speaking, it was to call out to Logan Shaw?

She arranged to meet Logan Shaw here?

She left so suddenly, not because she saw Shannon and got jealous, but because she was afraid he’d catch her together with Logan Shaw?

Ha!

This is what she meant by having a clear conscience?
