Entangled in the Night: Unable to Escape Him-Chapter 203: Lucy Rhodes, Good for You!

Caden Sinclair couldn’t help but clench his fingers, teasingly said, "Are you insulting me by saying I look old? With such a handsome face, how could I resemble him?"

Sienna Paxton looked at Caden Sinclair and then at the photo with some doubt, "Caden, I really think you look alike. Could you be a lost descendant of the Sinclair Family?"

Caden Sinclair tapped her head, "Have you watched too many dramas, or are you planning to sell me off to the family for having a child for Silas Prescott?"

Sienna Paxton chuckled, "I wouldn’t dare sell you, if I do, Lucy would kill me."

"She wouldn’t, she can’t wait for me to vanish from her sight."

"How far have you two progressed, her parents are coming back soon, are you planning to meet them?"

Caden Sinclair frowned slightly, "When are her parents coming back?"

"Next Saturday is Grandfather’s birthday. They should be back by then. If you want to go, I’ll bring you along."

Upon hearing this date, Caden Sinclair’s lips curled into a cold smile.

"In what capacity would I go, Lucy Rhodes’ fling? That role isn’t suitable for attending Grandfather’s family banquet, right?"

Hearing his sarcastic tone, Sienna Paxton realized their relationship wasn’t so simple.

She couldn’t help but laugh.

Taking out an invitation from her bag, she handed it to Caden Sinclair, "This is the invitation to Grandfather’s birthday banquet. You’re my best friend. Grandfather has always wanted to meet you. Is it not enough for me to invite you?"

Caden Sinclair held the invitation between his long fingers, casually said, "You invite me over, aren’t you afraid Silas Prescott will get jealous, given that he’s The Jealousy King of Asia."

As soon as he finished speaking, a deep voice came from the doorway. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Who’s badmouthing me behind my back, aren’t you afraid your tongue will rot?"

Silas Prescott stepped over to Sienna, pushing Caden aside, holding Sienna by the shoulder with a possessive look in his eyes.

Caden staggered slightly, crashing into the opposite table.

He gritted his teeth in anger, "Silas Prescott, don’t think just because Sienna accepted you, you can do whatever you want. I can tell you, if you dare wrong her, I’ll be the first not to let you get away with it."

Silas Prescott kissed Sienna’s forehead in front of him, then chuckled lightly at Caden.

"You want to be a hero and save the beauty? Too bad I’ll never give you that chance."

"You’d better behave, or I won’t be kind to you."

Silas looked indifferently at him, "You still have the leisure to meddle in others’ affairs, don’t you know your own place is on fire? My aunt and uncle are back from abroad and they brought someone with them, someone they picked for Lucy Rhodes, a childhood sweetheart who grew up with Lucy, they might even arrange a marriage. Dr. Sinclair, I’m telling you this because of Sienna, how do you feel now?"

Hearing these words, Caden Sinclair cursed internally, "Lucy Rhodes, just wait and see how I deal with you!"

He glanced at Silas Prescott, then calmly said, "President Prescott, I appreciate your goodwill, but who she marries has nothing to do with me."

After speaking, he hurriedly left.

Watching his back, Silas Prescott smiled smugly, "If it doesn’t matter, why are you in such a hurry? You’re far from matching wits with me."

Sienna Paxton pushed him, "I haven’t heard about Aunt arranging a marriage for Lucy, are you lying?"

"Without some provocation, how would they make any progress?"

"You don’t oppose them being together?"

"I wish they would be together, this way Caden won’t be bothering you anymore."

"He and I are just comrades, I’ve said it many times already, Silas, why are you still jealous?"

Silas Prescott hugged her tightly, resting his chin on Sienna’s head.

His voice carried a hint of grievance, "Sienna, though I know it’s wrong, I still envy those years I’m not around, anyone who stayed by your side. I want you to have only me in your world, to love only me."

Hearing him say this, Sienna gently brushed his hair, "Why are you still so possessive, is your condition relapsing?"

Silas nodded heavily, "Yes, Sienna, do you know the best way to stabilize my condition?"

Sienna looked at him suspiciously, "What way?"

Silas lowered his head, his big hand gently brushed Sienna’s lips.

Passionate breaths poured down towards Sienna.

He said hoarsely, "It’s intimate contact."

Before Sienna could respond, he kissed her lips directly.

His kiss was unlike his usual aggressive dominance, instead becoming gentle and tender.

Enabling Sienna to involuntarily sink with him.

The two kissed passionately in the office.

Meanwhile, Caden Sinclair sat in his car smoking several cigarettes.

When the last cigarette extinguished, he took out his phone to call Lucy Rhodes.

The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.

"Hello, do you need anything? I’m busy finalizing drafts with the editor."

Caden’s lips curled, "Lucy Rhodes, didn’t you say there’s a scene with the male lead stepping out of the bath that’s unsatisfactory? I can model for you, come over to my place tonight to draw."

Lucy Rhodes was incredulous, "Are you serious?"

"Eight o’clock tonight, don’t be late."

Seeing the call disconnect, Lucy cursed, "Damn man, are you being proud now? If I didn’t fancy your physique, I wouldn’t bother approaching you."

The editor sent her a message, "The previous Chapters are great except for the bath scene with the male lead that needs improvement. Lucy, keep it up, this comic is sure to be a big hit, trust me."

Lucy Rhodes replied, "Thanks a lot, I’ll make sure to revise that scene until you’re satisfied, awaiting my news."

She jumped with excitement.

While replying to the editor, she picked up the phone to call Caden, wanting to suggest some styling requests.

But it’s hard to multitask.

Dialing the phone, she directly said, "Caden Sinclair, shower first and wait for me, remember not to dry your hair too much, don’t wrap in a towel, just wear your black silk robe, don’t tie it, leave it open to show off abs, preferably with water droplets sliding on your chest, also don’t wear underwear below, being somewhat obscured will intensify my desire, understand?"

Her voice fell silent for several seconds, suddenly a sharp voice came from the other end.

"Lucy Rhodes, I’m not at home, who do you plan to fool around with?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Lucy was startled enough to almost throw her phone away.

How could she make such a rookie mistake and dial Caden’s number but end up reaching her mother.

Her mom has always been strict with her, especially when it comes to dating.

If her mom found out she had a casual fling, she’d probably kill her.

Lucy Rhodes quickly chuckled a few times, "Mommy, were you shocked? I knew you still care about me."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Of course, I’m saying that as a neglected child who craves maternal love. Why else? You think I have a man? That’s just my comic book plot, not reality."

Hearing this, Simone Prescott was a bit skeptical, "Is what you’re saying true? You’re not lying to me?"

Lucy Rhodes chuckled, "Of course not. I miss you both so much. What kind of parents are you? Leaving me with Grandpa since I was a teenager and flying off together overseas, I’m dying of loneliness here."

Simone Prescott felt some guilt, "We’ll return for Grandpa’s birthday and never leave again. We’ll stay home and accompany you properly. Darling, what do you want? Mommy will buy it for you."

"I don’t want anything, just Mom and Dad."

She sounded so pitiful that Simone Prescott felt even more guilty toward her daughter.

Her eyes were slightly moist, "Alright, after we come back, Dad and Mom will accompany you well."

Ending the call, Lucy Rhodes patted her chest with lingering fear.

It was too close, almost got caught. If mom knew she helped her brother by sleeping with a random man, she’d break her legs.

She tidied herself up, changed her clothes, and came downstairs.

Just in time to see Sienna and Silas Prescott coming back with Julian Prescott.

Seeing her about to leave, Julian quickly ran to her side, "Auntie, Mom bought your favorite durian cake. Aren’t you staying for dinner? If not, I’ll eat it all."

Lucy Rhodes pinched his cheek, "Auntie’s heading out for a while, save a piece for Auntie, will you?"

"Are you going to see Uncle Sinclair or Uncle Nathaniel? Auntie, Dad said that finding a partner means being emotionally committed, just like his dedication to Mom. That’s why they’re together. In our class, Cindy’s dad isn’t committed, so he divorced her mom. Auntie, don’t be wishy-washy."

The little guy kept babbling, making Lucy Rhodes giggle.

"Bro, how do you educate your son? He’s so young yet knows so much. Isn’t he a bit precocious?"

Silas Prescott gave her a look, "At twenty-six, you’re not even sure who you like, unlike a four-year-old kid. Maybe you should reflect on yourself. If you’re really unsure, I could teach you."

Lucy Rhodes quickly gestured to halt, "Stop. My dear brother, I’m afraid your lousy love handbook might influence me. Do you forget how you treated Sienna before? You’ve healed but forgotten the pain."

"Are you looking for a beating?"

"Sienna, save me."

Seeing Silas raise his hand, Lucy Rhodes hastily hid behind Sienna.

Sienna held her hand seriously, "Your brother’s right. You should frankly face your feelings—Caden or Nathaniel, consider carefully. You can’t have both, it’s not fair to anyone."

Lucy Rhodes nonchalantly lifted a corner of her lips, "I’m just harmonizing well with Caden, while Captain Thorne is just my idol. The coexistence of these two doesn’t conflict, as for marriage, I haven’t considered who I’ll marry. Who says that in this life one must be in love and marry? Can’t I stay single forever? If I meet a scumbag who deceives my emotions, it’d be sad and unworthy, so why bother?"

Hearing this, Julian blinked his eyes confusedly.

Seriously said, "Auntie, why don’t you want to fall in love? Like Dad and Mom, love each other and have a little baby. Then, you give me a brother, and Mom gives me a sister, our family would be complete."

Lucy Rhodes quickly waved her hands, "I’m not having kids, it’s too painful. I’m still a baby myself. If you want a brother, ask your mom for that. I can’t chat with you all now, I’ve got plans and need to rush."

Listening to her earlier words, witnessing her rush, Elder Prescott took Sienna’s hand towards the dining room.

"Our Sienna won’t follow her example. Grandpa is waiting for you to give me twin grandsons. Grandpa had someone make delicious food for you. Your health is too weak. You need nourishment to be able to have children. Otherwise, it’ll be too taxing. Your grandma was overly weak when she had your aunt, leaving many problems behind, that’s why she left early."

Sienna saw all the dishes she loved on the table and a nutritious black chicken soup.

Grandpa’s intention was clear.

He wanted a child of Silas and her.

Facing grandpa’s intentions, Sienna felt conflicted.

She was unsure if she could fulfill grandpa’s wish after hard work.

Seeing her unhappy face, Silas quickly asked, "What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

Sienna shook her head, "No, perhaps the surgery took too long, I’m just tired."

Julian attentively crawled onto the chair beside her, and gently massaged Sienna’s shoulders.

Tilted his little head, "Mom worked hard, Julian helps mom massage, does it feel better?"

His sincere gaze and concern warmed Sienna’s heart.

She kissed Julian’s cheek, "Thank you, darling, Mommy’s fine, just needs some food and a nap."

Julian earnestly nodded, "Yes, yes, it’d be better if dad cuddles you to sleep, that’s how they do it on the short dramas."

Sienna was surprised, "Your dad stopped watching short dramas long ago, who did you watch it with?"

Julian pointed at Elder Prescott, "With great-grandpa, he loves watching them now. I downloaded them for him and watched them along."

Silas Prescott glanced at grandpa, "Grandpa, at your age, you’re still watching CEO dramas. Are you trying to find me a step-grandma?"

Elder Prescott snorted, "I never got to be a CEO when young, isn’t it allowed to watch them now?"

"Sure, alright, just don’t go having late children."

"You rascal, talking utter nonsense."

Sitting together as a family, they ate happily.

Meanwhile, driving out, Lucy Rhodes felt good. Her head was full of thoughts about meeting Caden later.

Even though they had shared the most intimate moments, she’d never really examined Caden’s physique.

She only knew Caden’s asset was substantial.

Every time he made her very excited.

Lucy Rhodes opened Caden’s house door and shouted inside, "Caden, are you ready?"

As soon as she spoke, the bathroom door opened.

Caden emerged like a seductive villain from the steamy bathroom.

He walked to Lucy’s side, holding her hand with his cold fingertips and placing it on his bare chest.

He lowered his head and bit her ear softly, saying hoarsely, "Lucy Rhodes, tonight I’m yours, do whatever you want."
