Chapter 490: Chapter 490: Everyone in the World Recognizes You
Caden Lockwood understands Evelyn Morgan too well.
Back then, when he was waiting for her to be ready to become his true woman, he never got to that point and had to resort to force.
Now, waiting for her to be willing to have a child feels like a never-ending wait.
Caden Lockwood can’t help but feel a bit melancholic.
Sometimes, he wishes he could age Evelyn by four or five years; that way, she might mature, and they wouldn’t have these discordant issues.
Yet, his sweet little wife remains so pure, kind, and adorably naive!
Listening to Caden’s words, Evelyn’s breath catches.
She examines him back and forth, somewhat in disbelief, wondering if she misheard.
Just now, when she hastily expressed her reluctance to become pregnant, making him misunderstand that she was already expecting, his expression was unmistakably joyful.
But now, he’s agreed?
A surge of deep emotion fills her heart; Evelyn knows Caden truly adores her.
Thinking about it, she feels she’s somehow wronged him since he surely wants a child!
Caden Lockwood doesn’t say much else, takes off his suit jacket, and Evelyn promptly helps him hang it on the coat rack, as if she’s trying to be attentive.
Just as she turns around, she finds herself pulled into his embrace.
She hears his heartbeat.
"Thump—"
"Thump—"
Each beat is steady and strong, providing an immense sense of security.
"You can discuss things with me instead of handling them alone, it makes me very happy." Caden says softly, "Darling, always do this in the future, okay?"
Evelyn nods, "If you keep responding like this every time we discuss something, I’d be more than happy to."
Caden chuckles silently.
It seems only Evelyn would manage to benefit and still act all coy.
"Oh, right!" Evelyn suddenly remembers, "Do you know how to help Julian Keaton and Cece? I called Cece today, and it feels like she’s not doing well."
Caden Lockwood furrows his dark brows; how could he not know about Julian Keaton’s situation?
However, Julian Keaton declined his assistance.
Julian Keaton is stubborn and proud at his core, especially since he wants to offer Cecilia Lynch a life of respect and equality from his own hands.
"You don’t need to intervene in their relationship matters," Caden warns, "They can resolve it themselves."
"Can they though?" Evelyn asks softly, "I feel Cece’s desire to enter The Keaton Family is even more challenging than what I faced!"
Caden Lockwood can’t help but laugh and asks, "What challenges do you face?"
"Don’t I?" Evelyn pouts, "So far, besides you, no one from the Lockwood Family accepts me!"
"The entire world accepts you." Caden declares, his tone bold and domineering, "Because you’re my lawful wife, Evelyn Morgan."
Upon hearing the word "lawful" from Caden’s lips, Evelyn feels blissful inside.
Nesting in his embrace, her smile deepens, and she’s so happily content...
The stifling heat still makes people feel a bit lethargic, even the cicadas don’t chirp actively anymore.
Evelyn is about to take Kiki for a check-up; after all, in dog years, Kiki is considered elderly.
Just then, Evelyn’s phone rings, and she sees it’s Logan Shaw calling.
Evelyn pouts, for the past few days, she and Logan haven’t been in contact.
It seems after she misunderstood him, and he confessed to her, she didn’t quite know how to face him.
