Slowly Falling into His Love Trap

Chapter 401: Do You Really Need a Man by Your Side?

Evelyn was taken aback, suspecting that Caden Lockwood might be misunderstanding something.

While on the phone, because she was worried about being laughed at, she had casually mentioned that she too had a very important date that night.

Could Caden Lockwood have found out that she was dining with Logan Shaw and then mistakenly thought that the important date she mentioned was with Logan?

Evelyn looked at Caden Lockwood, thinking that at a time like this when she had no idea what was happening, keeping silent might be the best course of action.

"Logan Shaw." Caden Lockwood answered on behalf of Evelyn.

Seeing the change in Evelyn’s expression, the icy and indifferent face of Caden Lockwood finally showed some movement.

The corners of his lips lifted into a very faint curve, but it was definitely not a smile.

"It’s not what you think," Evelyn quickly explained, "I went to see Logan Shaw just to return something to him."

"How frequently are you two in contact?" Caden Lockwood strained to control his emotions, trying not to burst into anger, "Have you been spending every day with him while I was away?"

Listening to Caden Lockwood’s suspicions, Evelyn also felt somewhat annoyed.

Evelyn retorted, "If you don’t want me to be with other men, why didn’t you come home?"

"Are you so lonely that you must have a man by your side?" Caden Lockwood’s voice squeezed through his teeth, and an overwhelming anger erupted at this moment.

His handsome face was dark and forbidding, as if it had been stained with ink, and his gaze was so sharp that it intimidated all around him.

Evelyn looked at Caden Lockwood in disbelief, feeling even more aggrieved by his words.

To him, is that really the kind of woman she is?

When he met Evelyn’s disappointed gaze, Caden Lockwood felt as if something had punched him hard in the heart, making him feel even worse.

"Don’t look at me with that gaze," Caden Lockwood said coldly, "Evelyn, I’ve been patient until now as a kindness to you."

Evelyn averted her gaze from Caden Lockwood, her nose tingling with sadness, murmuring, "Shouldn’t I be the one saying that?"

She had endured till now, always believing in him, waiting for a reasonable explanation from him.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt a bit confused and lost—what was the point of coming here?

Facing a man who completely didn’t trust her and had been missing for so many days, without offering any explanation about himself, his first move was to lash out at her?

"Evelyn!" Caden Lockwood roared.

His palm itched intensely, desiring to grasp Evelyn’s delicate neck and make her vanish from his world like this.

Yet controlling the inappropriate emotions at this moment, his heart felt tormented as if being sliced apart.

"Even if I went to dinner with Logan Shaw, so what?" Evelyn retorted coldly, "As a husband, have you been responsible? You disappear without a word, and now you show up without even intending to explain, what do you take me for?"

"Explain?" Caden Lockwood laughed coldly, "Fine! You can give me a reasonable explanation."

As he finished speaking, Caden Lockwood opened the roadside video that the bodyguard had sent earlier and handed it to Evelyn.

He didn’t want to let his assumptions and so-called subjective facts dictate his judgment.

He didn’t want to be controlled by angry emotions and then completely break with Evelyn.

There had been such an experience before, and in the end, it was all just... a misunderstanding.

He desperately hoped that everything he knew now was also a misunderstanding.

Yet, no matter how much he investigated, everything in the video was undeniably real.
