Slowly Falling into His Love Trap

Chapter 471: Chapter 471: The Painful Identity of a Lover

Cecilia Lynch looked at Julian Keaton, and Mrs. Keaton’s words still echoed in her ears. It felt as if an invisible hand tightly gripped her heart, making her feel as though she was suffocating from the pain.

"Cece!" Julian Keaton raised his voice, "Tell me! What exactly did my mom say to you? Don’t be misled by her words. It’s me who wants to marry you, it’s me who wants to be with you. What she says holds no value!"

"I don’t know what to do." Tears streamed down Cecilia’s face uncontrollably, "Your mom said... if I don’t leave you, she’ll tell my mom about me being your lover. My mom is already in poor health, and if she finds out I sold my body to help treat her illness, it will kill her!"

At the time, Cecilia had received a large sum of money by deceiving her mother into believing she’d borrowed it from the big brother who adopted Evelyn Morgan, promising to repay it once she earned enough.

If her mother knew the truth, she surely wouldn’t want to live any longer.

Listening to Cecilia’s painful and uneasy words, Julian Keaton’s brow was filled with deep guilt.

The "lover" identity he had given Cecilia had brought her too much pain!

And right now, it was he who was clinging to her, not wanting her to leave, yet she had to bear such a heavy burden.

"Cece." Julian Keaton’s voice was very soft, "I don’t even understand where my family and I got this sense of superiority from, thinking we’re better or superior to you."

Through blurry tears, Cecilia looked at Julian Keaton, her heart in turmoil.

She dared not tell Julian about the part Mrs. Keaton said regarding Evelyn Morgan.

Otherwise, it would surely cause a storm within the Keaton Family!

Moreover, if she were to reveal the whole truth, her relationship with the Keaton parents would likely never mend!

"You are the one who is a thousand times, ten thousand times stronger than me." Julian Keaton raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears on Cecilia’s cheeks.

His brow overflowed with deep tenderness as he softly opened his lips, "You’ve always lived in adversity, yet you’ve been so strong. Not only have you supported yourself, but you’ve also supported your mom. If it were me, I really wouldn’t know what to do."

"..."

"You shouldn’t look down on yourself." Julian Keaton spoke with determination, "Cece, being able to marry you is the greatest blessing of my life! I’ll go talk to your mom, I’ll earn her forgiveness and blessing, so please don’t carry this burden in your heart, okay?"

"Don’t tell my mom!" Cecilia called out anxiously, "She couldn’t possibly forgive, much less give her blessing!"

"She will." Julian Keaton held Cecilia’s hand, "Even though the start of our relationship wasn’t beautiful, I truly want to bring you happiness now. She will understand us."

Cecilia was filled with fear inside.

She dared not imagine—would her mother really forgive if she found out everything?

"Let’s not tell her for now." Cecilia pleaded, "Let’s think of other ways, see if there’s another way to make your parents accept me."

Seeing Cecilia so worried, Julian Keaton couldn’t persuade her further.

He could only agree, and then pulled her into his arms, gently stroking her back to soothe her current saddened emotions...

The sky was a deep blue, the clouds were white, and Evelyn woke up from a nap feeling that such a life was simply too wonderful!

Now, she not only had a warm home to live in but also had Caden Lockwood who adored her, and her best friend Cecilia Lynch.

Life was seemingly perfect, with nothing to be dissatisfied about!

Nesting in the covers, Evelyn realized that she indeed had nothing much to do during the summer vacation, and since Caden hadn’t mentioned her going to intern at the company, she didn’t feel right about imposing herself there.

Caden had already gone to work, and Evelyn, feeling a bit bored, touched the necklace around her neck. A gleam flashed in her amber eyes, and then she immediately got up and walked towards the study.
