Evelyn was too shy to even lift her head when hearing Caden Lockwood's sweet words.
However, she bravely spoke her mind: "What a coincidence, I've missed you too!"
Hearing this, the corners of Caden Lockwood's mouth lifted into a faint smile.
He gently loosened his hold on Evelyn, then picked her up and carried her into the villa.
It was then that Evelyn noticed Caden's face, marked by a deep fatigue, with a smile that seemed to hide worries, not reaching his eyes.
Evelyn was almost certain in her guess: something bad had happened to him.
Was it a work-related issue?
Last time, he had harshly reprimanded Shannon Dunn. Shannon wasn't one to concede easily—she was likely still plotting how to win him over!
Thinking this, Evelyn pouted, not wanting anyone coveting Caden to linger around him.
Otherwise, what if Shannon found an opening one day? What would she do then?
Seeing Evelyn's troubled expression, Caden immediately asked, "What's wrong?" with a tone filled with tension.
