Slowly Falling into His Love Trap

Chapter 485: Chapter 485: I’m Afraid I’ll Let Him Down

"The two of you are already a real couple, the closest people in the world. What can’t be said?" Cecilia Lynch chuckled, "Evelyn, you have to try to get used to communicating with Mr. Lockwood. That way, your relationship will get better, you know?"

"But..." Evelyn hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Over these years, how have you... prevented pregnancy?"

Seeing Cecilia’s silence, Evelyn quickly spoke up, "I didn’t mean anything by it, it’s just... I... I’m really scared right now! Cece, I can’t find anyone else to talk to!"

She knew that the days Cecilia spent as Julian Keaton’s mistress were days Cecilia didn’t want to remember, yet she brought it up anyway.

Evelyn felt she shouldn’t have done that!

Listening to Evelyn’s helpless words, Cecilia felt a deep discomfort in her heart.

She knew Evelyn’s thoughts were simple and straightforward, and she just felt like she’d let Evelyn down.

Because, these past days, she had tried to think—what would happen if she destroyed Evelyn and Caden Lockwood’s relationship?

The fact that she thought about it showed that she had wavered somewhat.

So, even though she had done nothing, she still felt guilty, felt unworthy of being Evelyn’s friend.

"Don’t panic," Cecilia said gently, "In the two years between Julian and me, he always used protection. So, I’ve never been pregnant, nor have I had an abortion."

"Julian Keaton seems like a good man!" Evelyn mumbled, "I can tell that he really loves you."

"I don’t want to let him down," Cecilia’s voice carried endless sorrow, "but... I’m afraid that, in the end, I will still let him down."

"His parents haven’t agreed to your marriage yet?" Evelyn asked, "These elders, I don’t know what they’re thinking. Do they really want their son to marry someone he doesn’t love? Is happiness something that can be bought?"

Evelyn felt that these wealthy families truly had a strange way of thinking!

The Lockwood father and son are at odds, and the father even poisons his son.

The Keaton Family completely disregards their son’s wishes, forcing him to marry someone he doesn’t love.

Living in a wealthy family, is it really this bleak?

"They ponder different problems than we do," Cecilia laughed, "It’s like we think spending hundreds of thousands on a luxury car would be better spent on a house; but those with money already live in villas, so of course, they want to buy luxury cars!"

"So, there’s indeed a significant generation gap between us and the rich!" Evelyn pouted, "Sometimes I clearly feel that when I talk with my uncle, we can’t go too deep, or it feels like our words don’t match our intentions."

"What deep topics do couples need to discuss?" Cecilia soothed, "Evelyn, you’re just scared of a possible pregnancy, so you’re overthinking it. Relax, wait a few days, then get a pregnancy test to see if you are pregnant. If you are, think about what to do. If you really don’t want a child, then have a proper talk with Mr. Lockwood."

Evelyn responded, as for now, this was her only option.

After hanging up the phone, Cecilia looked at the darkened phone screen, her eyes full of gloom.

She didn’t know what to do.

She wanted to seize the opportunity to be with Julian Keaton, yet she couldn’t betray Evelyn.

Is she destined never to have any happiness in this life?

Even if she does, will it be taken away?
