Slowly Falling into His Love Trap

Chapter 457: Chapter 457: Could the Person Who Wants to Harm Her Be...

One week later.

Caden Lockwood’s wounds have healed quite well, and he can finally be discharged from the hospital.

Aunt May and Evelyn Morgan joyfully prepared a table full of dishes for Caden, and they also invited Julian Keaton and Cecilia Lynch, who had just returned a few days ago, to join them for dinner.

Seeing Julian and Cecilia appearing inseparable and blissfully happy, Evelyn couldn’t help but want to tease them.

"You two are just so lovey-dovey, it’s enough to make me sick!" Evelyn teased, "And you’ve got that sparkling big diamond ring, are you planning to marry him?"

"Yes." Cecilia softly responded, "He proposed to me."

"Truly prioritizing romance over friendship!" Evelyn sighed lightly, "You left for him, and now you’ve returned for him, it’s like you don’t even care about our friendship! Cecilia Lynch, I’ve come to realize what kind of person you are!"

"You’re so annoying!" Cecilia’s cheeks flushed, "I really didn’t expect him to find me! And during the days I left, I was constantly hesitating about whether or not I should go. Since he doesn’t mind my identity, it seems I don’t have the right to be so sensitive!"

"What’s wrong with your identity?" Evelyn raised her voice displeased, "Cece, look at you, so impressive when you’re at work! You’re not allowed to think so poorly of yourself anymore!"

Cecilia nodded, and she and Evelyn huddled together, whispering secrets. freёwebnovel.com

Not far away, Julian and Caden were sitting together, with two cups of coffee in front of them, seemingly having a casual chat.

"I’ve basically heard all about your heroic rescue of the damsel in distress." Julian’s eyes were full of deep admiration, "Let me interview you, what were you thinking at that moment? Did you really love her to the point where you were willing to die for her?"

Caden picked up his coffee, glanced at Evelyn, who was laughing joyously with Cecilia, and a faint smile curved his lips.

"All I thought at that moment was." Caden paused for a moment, then softly spoke: "Thank goodness it wasn’t her who got hurt."

Hearing the unemotional tone in Caden’s statement, Julian’s heart slightly stirred.

He had to admit, even as a grown man, he was moved by Caden’s simple words.

"How sappy!" Julian couldn’t help but chide, "Can’t you at least try to look a bit cool? You’re ruining the image I have of you in my mind."

"Don’t worry." Caden replied mildly, "If it were you and me in danger, I’d definitely use you as a shield, you die, I live."

"Hey!" Julian snapped, "A guy like you, I could end our friendship in minutes, you believe it or not? You seem to only have a friend like me who gets along with you! If you even lose me, your life would be pretty miserable!"

Caden raised an eyebrow, signaling Julian to give an example.

"Like, when Evelyn kicks you out of the house, there’s no one to lend you a place to crash; or when you and Evelyn have a fight, there’s no one to drink with." Julian said in a proud tone, "In short, losing me, you’ll suffer a lot!"

"It would be best if you quickly get out of my sight." Caden shrugged indifferently, "This way, my wife won’t kick me out of the house or argue with me."

Hearing Caden mention "my wife," Julian got goosebumps all over.

He was truly riled up by Caden’s unreasonable love for his wife!

Fortunately, he also had a little bride to pamper.

Moreover, he was soon going to host a grand wedding for Cecilia!

Even though his parents didn’t agree to let him marry Cecilia.

But he didn’t want to care about all that.

He wanted to give Cecilia a title, to make her his wife, with no chance of escape!

"Julian." Caden suddenly adopted a serious tone, his demeanor turning cold, "I’ve never been able to determine who exactly wants to harm Evelyn."

Julian’s eyebrows furrowed as he asked, "Haven’t found out yet?"

Caden shook his head, his dark eyes shimmering with brutal coldness.

Julian lowered his voice and asked, "Could it be... your mother?"
