Slowly Falling into His Love Trap

Chapter 451: Can You Make "Love Me" a Little Clearer?

At this moment, Evelyn Morgan wasn’t feeling too well.

She had been waiting for Caden Lockwood to wake up, but due to his excessive blood loss, coupled with the deep wound and the fact that he still stubbornly held on for so long, the doctor said he might sleep through the night before waking up, since it seems the wound has already caused head pain.

Evelyn Morgan stayed by Caden Lockwood’s side, and after Lily Thorne left, she didn’t return, probably because she had learned from the doctor that Caden Lockwood was okay.

And through it all, James Lockwood never came to see Caden.

Evelyn Morgan gently pressed Caden Lockwood’s temples, was his head hurting again?

James Lockwood treating his own son like this was truly despicable!

But wasn’t it despicable that she was the one who caused Caden Lockwood’s injury?

"Will you forgive me?" Evelyn Morgan asked very softly, "If I weren’t so stubborn and awkward, things afterward would have been different."

She lay her head down on the back of his hand, continuing, "But I really care about that girl’s issue. Who is she, what’s your relationship with her, why are you so nervous about her, I want to know."

"Uncle..." Evelyn Morgan sniffled, "Why won’t you just explain to me? Sometimes, I’m not asking for much, just hoping you can give me some clarity at least!"

"Not right," Evelyn Morgan shook her head, "Even though you said you’d never divorce me in this lifetime, I actually find that hard to understand. If you meant what I think you do, can’t you... just be clearer?"

She frowned, realizing she still had resentment towards Caden Lockwood.

Was she asking too much, being too hopeful?

If it were another woman, having a husband like this would surely make her compliant, not asking if he doesn’t speak, cautiously maintaining the marriage!

But if so, then that would be too unequal!

"Uncle," Evelyn Morgan pouted, "Actually, I’m kind of afraid, afraid of not being a good Mrs. Lockwood. It’s like lacking confidence in myself, so I ended up blaming you for all sorts of issues."

"Why lack confidence?" Caden Lockwood’s voice suddenly sounded, faint and filled with weakness.

Evelyn Morgan was greatly startled.

She immediately looked up to see Caden Lockwood, he had already opened his eyes.

She quickly got up, yelling while running, "Doctor! He’s awake! My husband is awake!"

Caden Lockwood promptly grabbed Evelyn Morgan’s hand, displeased at how she was about to flee his sight the moment he opened his eyes.

Evelyn Morgan glanced back, looking at Caden Lockwood, hastily saying, "Let go of my hand first! I need to call the doctor over!"

"My own body, don’t I know it better than the doctor?" Caden Lockwood retorted without a gentle tone, "I’m fine, first answer my previous question."

Evelyn Morgan blinked, suddenly becoming tongue-tied, "How... how long have you been awake?"

All those things she had rambled on about, had he heard them all?

Oh, heavens!

She would go crazy!

Seeing Evelyn Morgan’s worried expression, Caden Lockwood mischievously asked, "How long do you want me to have been awake?"

Evelyn Morgan’s eyes trembled, instinctively taking a step back.

She looked at Caden Lockwood, opened her mouth, but for a long time, couldn’t utter a complete sentence.

Her cheeks flushed, she stood there wanting to find a hole to disappear into.

"I just woke up, and you plan to start upsetting me already?" Caden Lockwood said coldly.
