Chapter 63 Stop Playing Dumb

Caroline’s mind was in a state of stupefaction as she found herself in Evan’s bedroom. She rubbed her forehead, unable to recall how Evan had brought her here.

Footsteps reached her ears, and she looked up to see Evan’s gloomy yet handsome face. He walked towards the bed and gazed down at her, his tone cold as he asked, “You’re awake?”

Caroline gave him a grumpy look. “What kind of question is that?”

Evan noticed the sarcasm in her eyes, and his face turned dull. “Ungrateful as ever! I brought you home, but you didn’t even thank me.”

“Thank you,” Caroline replied, lowering her gaze. Her tone was so calm that it lacked any hint of gratitude.

His frustration rose, and he swallowed slightly while thinking, “She really knows how to drive me

crazy.

After a moment, he asked, “Why didn’t you eat properly? Don’t you know it’s not good for your

health?”

Caroline pursed her lips, refusing to answer his questions. Despite feeling dizzy, she pushed the blanket aside and tried to get out of bed.

“Caroline!” Evan pressed her shoulders down, a tinge of anger visible in his eyes. “Don’t force me to tie you up in bed with ropes.”

Caroline looked up at him with cold eyes. “You have no right to keep locking me up now.”

After what had happened the previous night, Caroline couldn’t bring herself to believe his words. She couldn’t trust that he wouldn’t behave wildly and take liberties with her again.

Caroline put on her slippers and walked out, determined to leave his bedroom.

“I won’t stop you if you think you can leave in those clothes,” Evan snorted, standing his ground.

Caroline came to a sudden halt, her gaze shifting to the clothes she was wearing. She blushed rapidly upon realizing that she had donned Evan’s shirt.

Glaring at him with a mix of shame and fury, she couldn’t help but demand, “Where are my clothes?”

He smirked and chuckled at her angry expression. “Do you think I would allow you to lie in my bed with dirty clothes?”

I’m not the one who’s dirty, you are!‘ Caroline cursed him in her mind.

After a momentary hesitation, she decided to leave his bedroom.

However, she didn’t head downstairs. Instead, she made her way back to her old room.

Opening the wardrobe, she retrieved the clothes Evan had given her before, the ones she had left

behind earlier.

After changing into her own clothes, she headed downstairs.

When Lily came out with a bowl of soup, she noticed that Caroline was about to leave. She hurriedly placed the bowl down and stopped Caroline. ‘Ms. Shenton, you’re still weak. You should

rest more.”

Caroline softened her tone when she noticed Lily’s motherly concern. “Lily, thank you for your

concern, but I can’t stay here.” NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Lily tried to persuade her. “At least eat before you leave. This is the chicken soup I cooked for you for two hours. It’s good for your body.”

Caroline couldn’t bear to reject Lily’s kindness, so she gave in. “Okay, thank you, Lily.” She walked

toward the dining table and sat down to have the soup.

Initially, she planned to leave as soon as she finished the soup, but someone suddenly knocked on

the door.

Lily went to open the door, and Daniella’s voice filled the room. “Lily, is Evan at home?” Daniella entered alongside Lily, whose gaze fell upon Caroline awkwardly.

At the same time, Daniella noticed Caroline too, and her expression turned wicked and ruthless. What are you doing here?” she couldn’t help but cry out.

Caroline was left speechless, struck by the encounter with the very person she was most

reluctant to face.

Daniella rushed toward Caroline. “I’m asking you, why are you in Evan’s house?”

Caroline ignored Daniella’s question and calmly drank her soup.

Thwack!

Daniella raised her hand and smacked Caroline’s spoon away, her agitation growing. “Speak up!

Stop acting dumb.”

“What are you doing?” Evan’s gloomy voice echoed from the foot of the stairs.

Daniella stiffened, her emotions changing rapidly. She looked at Evan with a pitiful expression. Evan, I’m sorry. I got jealous, and I wasn’t able to control my emotions well.”

Her pretentious act disgusted Caroline.

Evan walked toward Daniella, coldness creeping onto his handsome face, “Go back.”

Daniella’s eyes welled up with tears as she retorted in disbelief, “Evan, shouldn’t you give me a chance to explain? We’re about to be engaged, but she shows up at your house.”

Frustration dawned on Evan. “You don’t have the right to meddle in my affairs just yet.”

Daniella burst into tears, lowering her head and apologizing. ‘Evan… I’m sorry. I… I was wrong. Don’t be mad. I won’t ask about it anymore, okay?”

Curiosity washed over Caroline as she watched Daniella’s act. If Evan were to find out she cheated. on him, how humble would she be, begging for forgiveness?‘

A buzz came from Caroline’s phone, jolting her out of her thoughts. She took it out and checked the message. It was from Mason.

[I found it. It’s called Cloude Orphanage.]

Caroline’s fingers stiffened, and she quickly got up and walked out.

Evan furrowed his brows and asked, “Are you done eating?”

Caroline halted, a sudden idea sparking in her mind. “Yes, thank you. What’s more, I wouldn’t have been able to taste Lily’s cooking if you hadn’t forcefully detained me.”

As she averted her gaze, she purposely glanced at Daniella for a moment, relishing in the latter’s hideous gaze.

Satisfied, Caroline bid Lily goodbye and left Villa Rosa.
