Chapter 284: Chapter 284: Her Show of Goodwill, His Fiery Rage

This signal right now is telling Evelyn to run quickly.

But she’s already here, how can she leave so easily?

After hesitating for a moment, Evelyn lightly exhaled and walked towards the office.

"Uncle," Evelyn’s voice was very soft, "Um... Aunt May, yeah, Aunt May asked me to bring you some breakfast."

If she said she wanted to deliver it herself, that would be too awkward!

In her line of sight, she saw a breakfast on his office desk.

Evelyn’s face stiffened, wishing she could swallow back the words she just said.

Yet, in her heart, several big question marks emerged.

Did someone buy breakfast for Caden Lockwood?

Who bought it?

Sean Ashton?

Caden Lockwood looked at Evelyn, his sharp gaze landing on her, making her feel utterly uncomfortable.

Evelyn kept her head down, clearly sensing that Caden Lockwood’s anger at the moment was entirely directed at her. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

She bowed her head, inevitably feeling a bit guilty.

He’s still mad about what happened last night, right?

Evelyn glanced at Sean Ashton, signaling him to leave first.

Some things, she’d feel more at ease discussing with Caden Lockwood alone.

Sean Ashton immediately walked out of the office; in this kind of scenario, it’s better if he’s not there.

The coldness in the office made Evelyn shiver all over, thinking about how she nicknamed him ’Ice Block,’ it was indeed fitting!

Thinking this, the corner of her lips unintentionally curved into a smile.

Seeing the faint smile at the corner of Evelyn’s mouth, Caden Lockwood’s palm itched, wanting to grip her delicate neck and end her life.

Harboring such evil and brutal thoughts, he didn’t feel he was overreacting at all.

This woman repeatedly challenged his limits; he really didn’t want to endure anymore.

Evelyn secretly sized up Caden Lockwood, suppressing her fear of him, slightly moved her thin lips: "Uncle, it was my fault last night, I realized my mistake, in the future..."

"I’m working." Caden Lockwood’s voice was as cold as if it came from an ice cellar, "Take your breakfast and scram, don’t disturb me."

"Uncle!" Evelyn’s eyes widened, "I..."

"What?" Caden Lockwood’s eyes slightly narrowed, "Evelyn, it’s bad enough you don’t make money yourself, but you want me to stop making money too?"

Listening to Caden Lockwood’s humiliating words, Evelyn wished she could immediately disappear from in front of him.

But she clearly knew he was angry about last night’s incident, and everything he said now was probably just said in anger!

"I won’t disturb your work to make money!" Evelyn raised her innocent and pure smiling face, showing sincerity, "Uncle, but no matter how busy you are, remember to eat breakfast, it’s very important for your health."

Pausing, she stepped closer, speaking softly, "This breakfast was personally made by me, you said before..."

"Can’t understand my words?" Caden Lockwood glared at Evelyn, stopping her from approaching, "I have to work, I’m very busy!"

Evelyn stood speechless, dumbfounded, holding the breakfast in her hands, feeling as if it were a bomb ready to explode, reducing her to an incomplete corpse.

Seeing Evelyn’s smiling face suddenly replaced by shadows, Caden Lockwood’s heart softened a little.

Yet, thinking that she came to flatter and please him for Logan Shaw’s sake, he felt like roaring.

"I have breakfast here." Caden Lockwood said in a restrained voice, "Now, can you leave and stop disturbing me?"
