Chapter 323: Chapter 323: My Wife’s Matters Come First

"Um..." Evelyn’s face turned completely red, "There’s a translation... I can’t get..."

After she spoke, Evelyn saw Shannon Dunn’s smug contempt on her face.

Evelyn harshly scolded herself in her heart—couldn’t she think of a more sophisticated excuse?

Wouldn’t this make Shannon look even better in comparison?

Evelyn felt she had completely lost face!

"I suddenly remembered how to translate it, you guys carry on, I won’t interrupt!" Evelyn said, ready to make a break for it.

"Come back!" Caden Lockwood commanded coldly with two words.

He raised his eyes, looked at Shannon Dunn, and coldly spoke: "My wife’s concerns are the most important matter. If you have any business affairs, wait until I have time."

Hearing Caden Lockwood’s unfamiliar and cold tone, Shannon Dunn’s expression changed.

Something urgent flashed in her eyes but quickly returned to normal.

"Alright." Shannon Dunn’s face had a standard and polite smile, "Mr. Lockwood, attend to your personal matters first. Please don’t forget the banquet tonight, the chairman insisted you cannot miss it."

Saying this, Shannon Dunn nodded slightly to Caden Lockwood and turned to leave the office.

As she passed by Evelyn, Shannon Dunn’s expression remained disdainful.

Seeing Evelyn standing there at the doorway, looking completely bewildered, Shannon Dunn said softly, "You two really have a great relationship!"

Then, in a voice only Evelyn could hear, Shannon added softly, "It’s quite a skill to have such a majestic man find the time to deal with your trivial matters daily. But why don’t you find a tutor to teach you at home?"

Listening to Shannon’s words, Evelyn was deeply affected.

Her hands subconsciously clenched into fists, she opened her mouth as if to say something, but nothing came out.

After all, Shannon was right!

Caden Lockwood had so many things to deal with every day, yet he still had to handle her minor problems, which only added to his burden.

Feeling the scrutinizing gaze on her, Evelyn stood at the door, not daring to look up, while the sadness in her heart spread uncontrollably.

Couldn’t she become a capable woman?

"Aren’t you coming?" Caden Lockwood urged coldly.

"No." Evelyn was very frustrated, "I already said I know how to translate it, I don’t need your help."

She felt so annoyed.

Annoyed that she couldn’t help Caden Lockwood with anything, and that she became a burden instead.

"Come here," Caden Lockwood’s tone was commanding.

Evelyn, feeling helpless, could only walk dejectedly towards Caden Lockwood.

Caden Lockwood stood up, took the paper and pen from Evelyn’s hand, stood in front of her, tidied her messy hair, then cupped her small face and placed a kiss on her forehead.

His kiss was light and warm, yet it seemed to have a magical effect, instantly soothing her anxiety and irritation.

"Come with me to a banquet tonight," Caden Lockwood invited, "There will be plenty of good food, it’s perfect for you."

"Can I bring Cece?" Evelyn asked instinctively.

Caden Lockwood’s eyes darkened, his large hand subconsciously clenching into a fist.

Every time he said something, Evelyn’s first reaction was Cecilia Lynch.

If Cecilia Lynch were a man, he’d definitely be mad with jealousy.

Even now, although Cecilia Lynch was a woman, Caden Lockwood couldn’t help but feel jealous.

"Julian will be there too," Caden Lockwood replied without a pleasant tone.

Evelyn didn’t notice the change in Caden Lockwood’s mood at all and muttered, "Then it’s better not to let Cece go! I won’t go either, what’s so fun about the banquet? I’d rather stay home and read more books!"

"Honey," Caden Lockwood restrained the urge to strangle Evelyn, "I’m inviting you, as my wife, to be my partner and accompany me to the event."
