Slowly Falling into His Love Trap-Chapter 260: Never Want to Run Away from Home Again

Love?

Seeing this word, Evelyn Morgan’s gaze scattered, and the hand holding the phone trembled heavily.

Does she love... Caden Lockwood?

Evelyn Morgan’s breath froze.

She seems to have never considered this question before!

Her heart felt like it was being gripped by something, afraid to deeply ponder this issue.

Putting the phone back into her bag, she didn’t reply to L’s message.

Looking up at the sky, unconsciously, it was already near dusk. Evelyn touched her stomach, feeling hungry.

She got up and walked around aimlessly, clearly hungry, but didn’t have much energy to eat.

The lights in the amusement park were lit, and more people came to play at night.

Looking at the smiling faces in front of her, Evelyn sighed heavily, the sadness in her eyes magnified without limits.

She felt so tired, missed Aunt May so much, missed Kiki, missed the big bed at home!

All day long, Aunt May hadn’t called her, nor had Caden Lockwood looked for her again.

Do they truly not want her anymore?

Considering this possibility, Evelyn’s nose felt sour, wanting to find a secluded place to cry her heart out.

"Not planning to go home for dinner yet?" Caden Lockwood’s voice suddenly sounded.

Evelyn instantly stopped, blinked, thinking she was hearing things.

She had been so unappreciative this afternoon, how could Caden Lockwood possibly still appear?

Shaking her head, she chided herself for being too foolish and continued walking forward.

Just a step forward, her wrist was grabbed, and she was gently turned around. Her eyes captured Caden Lockwood’s face, handsome enough to make people scream. The next moment, his chest sheltered her face.

Evelyn’s eyes widened, hearing Caden Lockwood’s heartbeat.

Thump—

Thump—

Each beat was stable and strong, offering immense reassurance.

"Uncle!" she exclaimed, "how..."

How did he know she was here?

With tightened arms, Caden Lockwood held Evelyn tightly.

He was angry with her, and he blamed her.

Yet, upon knowing she hadn’t returned home, he ultimately couldn’t let it go.

"Tasted the feeling of running away from home, haven’t you?" Caden Lockwood’s tone wasn’t kind, "Now, do you want to come home obediently with me?"

Hearing this, Evelyn bit her lip, feeling more resentment, so wronged, but no longer wanting to act impulsively.

Having wandered aimlessly all day, she was truly dejected.

No place to stay, no regular meals, even the next moment felt confused.

The passage of time feeling like years, she never wanted to run away again.

"Silly," Caden Lockwood looked at Evelyn, his dark eyes filled with undisguised affection, "Let’s continue the unfinished conversation from the afternoon."

Evelyn’s eyes showed confusion, not knowing what issue Caden Lockwood referred to.

They seemed to have talked quite a lot that afternoon!

"Yes, I disregarded your feelings, insisting you become my wife," Caden Lockwood spoke calmly, his gaze on Evelyn, showing no hint of retreat, "But from the very beginning, before even realizing it myself, I’d already decided to keep you by my side forever."

After a pause, he continued, "Making you owe me thirty-six thousand five hundred, without allowing installment payments, two a day, equals fifty years."

Evelyn still wore a bewildered expression.

She had contemplated the meaning behind fifty years all afternoon.

Yet, there was no clear answer.

"Can’t guess?" Caden Lockwood spoke softly, his handsome face exuding vibrant charisma, making one’s heart race, daring not to look closely.
