TRAPPED IN LOVE - Season 1 Episode 61

Enjoying Oneself

Her words made the simple meal sound like a special date.

Caroline regarded her with a cold gaze, but before she could utter a word, Neil interjected. His voice

was calm and pleasant. It dissipated Caroline’s anxiety.

“Evan, it’s been a while.”

Neil’s intervention was apt. Caroline had no connection to Evan anymore, and she no longer needed to

fret about his misunderstandings.

Evan’s countenance reflected a chilling indifference as he mumbled, “You seem to be enjoying

yourself.”

Neil chuckled and remarked, “Well, it’s quite delightful.”

Daniella gazed up at Evan and remarked, “Evan, don’t you think Caroline and this gentleman make a

splendid match?”

Evan’s gloomy eyes revealed no emotions as he pursed his lips and replied curtly, “Hmm.”

Neil glanced at Daniella, then averted his gaze and suggested to Caroline, “Shall we go? I’ll give

you a ride home.”

Caroline intended to decline but hesitated when he added, “It’s not safe there at night.”

With thoughts of her baby’s well–being, she reluctantly nodded in agreement as she brushed past

Evan, catching a glimpse of his mocking smile.

On their way back, Neil chuckled and asked, “Are you upset because I didn’t clear the

misunderstanding back there?”

Caroline responded calmly. “There’s no reason to be angry if I’ve already let it go.”

“I find that you resemble my mother more now,” Neil remarked, his smile gradually fading.

Caroline didn’t comprehend the meaning behind his words since she had little knowledge of his

mother’s character.

Thus, she ventured, “Can I shamelessly assume you see me as your younger sister?”

Neil was taken aback, then burst into laughter. “Yes, you can put it that way.”

Her silence enveloped her.

Back at home, after freshening up, Caroline settled in front of her computer and immersed herself

Soon after she had dozed off, a sudden knock on her door jolted Caroline awake. Her heart raced, and

she peered cautiously towards the door.

Why would someone be knocking on my door at this hour? Is it some sort of trouble, considering it’s

the end of the year?’ she wondered, her anxiety growing.

Caroline anxiously switched on the lamp and approached the door, stepping lightly. As she looked

through the peephole, she saw not a villain but Evan, his face flushed.

Frowning, Caroline shouted through the door, “Evan, stop knocking…”

“Caroline, open the door,” he threatened.

Reluctantly, Caroline, not wanting to disturb her neighbors, opened the door slightly.

Taking advantage of the crack, Evan ‘sneaked into the house with his tall, robust frame. The scent of

alcohol wafted from him, catching Caroline off guard. Before she could react, he pulled her into his

arms without uttering a word.

Caroline swiftly pushed him away and, in a hushed tone, reminded him, “Evan, you’ve come to the

wrong place.”

Ignoring her, he straightened his back and took two unsteady steps back to close the door.

After that, he glanced around the living room. When he found no one else except them, he sneered.

“Why didn’t you invite your new man to spend the night here?” he jeered.

His sarcasm ignited Caroline’s anger. “Are you out of your mind? Did you come here in the middle

of the night for an inspection?”

Almost immediately, she regretted saying that. She didn’t need to worry about any “inspections”

because he had no right to act that way now.

Evan’s expression turned cold, and his aura grew increasingly frigid. “Caroline, do you crave

money that much?” 1

Perplexed, Caroline furrowed her brow. “What are you talking about?”

“Leave Neil!” he commanded, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.

Caroline laughed disdainfully. “What right do you have to order me around?”

“Caroline!” he suddenly roared in anger. “If the Xanders find out you’re with Neil, they’ll ruin you.”

“What does that have to do with you?” Caroline glared at him. “Isn’t it better if you focus on leading your

life well with Daniella? Can’t we just stay out of each other’s lives?”

His response was an unexpected kiss, and Caroline attempted to push him away. Yet, he swiftly.

reacted, gripping her arms tightly.

Trapped in his hold, she struggled to break free, resorting to biting him forcefully.

He winced in pain but showed no intention of letting go. Instead, he raised his hand, holding the

back of her head, intensifying the kiss.

The more she fought, the more relentless his grip became. Eventually, dizziness overcame her as

his forceful kisses grew more consuming. In one swift motion, Evan picked her up and carried her

toward the bedroom.

He tossed her onto the bed and loomed above her, his gaze fixed on her. “Caroline, I haven’t signed

the contract!”

Shame and fury surged through her, and she cursed, “Evan, you’re despicable!”

He sneered in response. “I’ll make sure you remember just how despicable I can be!”

It was four o’clock in the morning, and sleep eluded her. Caroline tossed and turned, her eyes fixed

fiercely on the man beside her. As he slumbered, his face lacked its usual sternness and instead

appeared calm. The sight tempted her to strike him, to wake him up.

But she gritted her teeth and held herself back, knowing she couldn’t bring herself to do it.

However, if she continued sharing a bed with him, she couldn’t help but think of how he had slept.

Suddenly, her phone buzzed on the bedside table.
