Entangled in the Night: Unable to Escape Him-Chapter 207: I’m Lucy’s Boyfriend

Caden Sinclair had shed his usual laid-back and carefree image, dressing exceptionally formally today.

The dark brown suit paired with a white shirt made him look dignified and handsome.

When Lucy Rhodes saw him, she was so startled that her heart nearly stopped.

She quickly ran out from the crowd, grabbing Caden Sinclair’s arm and pulling him outside.

"Caden Sinclair, you have one minute to disappear from here, or I’ll kill you."

Unfazed, Caden Sinclair chuckled, "How do you plan to kill me? Tell me. But if it involves wearing me out, I suggest you save your energy, because every time we’ve clashed, it’s been me wearing you out."

Unlike Lucy Rhodes, he didn’t lower his voice; his voice was loud enough for everyone present to hear.

Lucy Rhodes hurriedly covered his mouth, "Please, just please, it’s my grandpa’s birthday, why are you even here?"

Caden Sinclair kissed her palm, then took out an exquisite box from his pocket and said, "Friends with benefits are still friends, your grandpa is pretty much my grandpa too. I’m here to wish him a happy birthday. See, I’ve even brought a birthday gift. It’s top-notch agarwood. I’m sure your grandpa will love it."

Having said that, he didn’t wait for Lucy Rhodes to react and took out the bracelet from the box, waving it toward Old Master Prescott.

He politely said, "Grandpa, I’m Yo-Yo’s boyfriend, here to wish you a happy birthday. This is my gift to you."

Old Master Prescott was puzzled as to who this young man was; upon hearing this, he chuckled and said, "Oh? Since when does our Yo-Yo have a boyfriend? How come I didn’t know?"

He looked towards Simone Prescott and her spouse, "Did you two know your daughter has a boyfriend?"

They both shook their heads, "We didn’t know, maybe this is a surprise from Yo-Yo. Dad, I think this young man seems quite promising and pairs well with Yo-Yo."

Lucy Rhodes couldn’t help but grumble internally: Perfectly matched my ass, he’s just my fuck buddy.

But she dared not say this aloud.

If her mom found out she treated someone as a fuck buddy, she’d surely get an earful.

Her mom had long reminded her: It’s okay to have a boyfriend, but acting like girls from other families, finding male models for fun everywhere, she would break her legs.

Although she didn’t find any male models, she did have a friend with benefits.

Initially, it was all for her brother, but eventually, she found herself drawn in, utterly entranced by Caden Sinclair’s body.

This jerk had such versatility in bed, each time leaving her wanting more.

Now, great, her friend with benefits came in wanting a title, and she didn’t know what to do.

Lucy Rhodes pinched Caden Sinclair’s waist hard, gritting her back teeth, "Caden Sinclair, are you trying to get me killed?"

Caden Sinclair lovingly rubbed her head, chuckling, "We’re both adults, not some teenage romance. What are you afraid of? I’m here, I’ll make sure grandpa and your parents approve of us dating."

Lucy Rhodes’s dark, bright eyes stared at him intensely, as if to say, "Who the hell asked you to come claiming a title? I never intended to date you."

Yet, in front of everyone, she didn’t dare voice it out.

Upon seeing this, Sienna wrapped her arm around Old Master Prescott and said, "Grandpa, this is Caden Sinclair. He was my comrade in the war zone and even saved my life. Haven’t you always wanted to meet him?"

Upon hearing this, Old Master Prescott hurried over to Caden Sinclair’s side, appraising him up and down, saying, "Anyone who could go to the war zone as a Doctors Without Borders and put their life on the line must have a good character, and being a comrade of our Sienna, I approve of this grandson-in-law."

He turned around to look at Simone Prescott and her spouse, "Do you two have any objections?"

Simone Prescott and her spouse: "We always follow dad’s lead. Sienna’s friend certainly can’t be wrong, I trust her judgment."

Caden Sinclair hurriedly bowed, "Thank you, Grandpa, thank you, Uncle, and Aunt. I will be good to Yo-Yo from here on out. Grandpa, this is the birthday gift I brought for you, I hope you like it."

Old Master Prescott took the bracelet, rubbing it a few times with his fingers, saying, "The quality is nice, I like it. Since you’re Yo-Yo’s boyfriend, you’re family to us, come along and join the family photo."

"Sure, Grandpa, let me help you."

Caden Sinclair respectfully assisted Old Master Prescott, walking towards the crowd.

Lucy Rhodes stomped her foot in frustration, "Grandpa, he’s not my boyfriend, he can’t be in our family photo."

Old Master Prescott gave Caden Sinclair a meaningful look, "Why doesn’t he acknowledge you?"

Caden Sinclair nodded, "Grandpa, I’m sorry, it’s my fault for making Yo-Yo mad. She wants to break up with me, which is why she said that. Don’t worry, I’ll coax her later."

"Hmm, I won’t meddle in young people’s affairs, though our girl does have a big temper. Be more patient with her."

"No worries, I like her feisty spirit. If she were too docile, I’d find it boring."

"Haha, seems like every pot has its matching lid. Let’s take the photo first, you can coax her afterward."

"I’ll follow your lead, Grandpa."

Caden Sinclair helped seat Old Master Prescott in the middle of the front row, then turned around and went to Lucy Rhodes’s side, holding her hand, saying, "Sweetheart, it’s all my fault. I’ll kneel down and apologize to you later. Let’s take the photo first, shall we?"

Hearing this term of endearment, Lucy Rhodes’s eyes almost popped out.

How dare this jerk call her ’sweetheart’? It gave her goosebumps all over. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

She was so angry her teeth almost shattered, clutching Caden Sinclair’s fingers tightly, "Don’t call me sweetheart, I’m not your sweetheart."

"Alright, sweetheart, as you say, come on, let’s take the photo, everyone’s waiting for us."

This jerk just couldn’t stop being provocative, could he?

Lucy Rhodes huffed angrily, "Don’t think letting you into the photo means I accept you, I’ll photoshop you out. There’s no way I’m getting with you."

What’s wrong with living her life with her parents as their little princess?

Why get married?

Why become someone else’s daughter-in-law?

She doesn’t want to end up like her friend, endlessly criticized by her mother-in-law.

Even taking a longer shower would cause the mother-in-law to complain about water wastage.

She was set on getting a divorce not even a month into marriage.

This kind of marriage was not what she wanted.

Lucy Rhodes lifted her chin at Caden Sinclair, angrily walked to the back, and stood beside Sienna.

Unable to resist complaining, "Sienna, are you really my sister, betraying me like this? Was it you who gave Caden the invitation?"

Sienna didn’t bother to hide it and nodded, "Yeah, he’s my friend, and Grandpa always wanted to meet him. I didn’t tell him to come claim a title, though."

"Hmph, now that you have my brother, you want to kick me out, boo-hoo, I’m so pitiful, losing my best girlfriend and gaining a clingy boyfriend. Who should I complain to?"

Caden Sinclair hugged her shoulders, gently stroked her, "How am I clingy? Which time did I not follow your lead? You say fast, I don’t dare go slow; you say stop, I don’t even dare move."

Lucy Rhodes pinched Caden Sinclair’s waist hard, gritting her back teeth, "Nobody needs you to be a mute."

Very obediently, Caden Sinclair nodded, "Sweetheart, don’t pinch, if you break it, it won’t be usable tonight."
