Chapter 344: Chapter 344: Madam, Don’t Hold It In

Listening to Caden Lockwood’s words, seeing his powerful and indifferent domineering aura, Julian Keaton felt envious.

He envied Caden Lockwood for giving Evelyn Morgan protection, trust, pampering, and an unrestrained arrogance.

"Alright! Alright!" Julian Keaton laughed helplessly, "I know you’re a wife-doting maniac, no need to show off in front of me! Don’t worry, I’ll take care of my own sister!"

Caden Lockwood snorted coldly, showing no pleasant expression to Julian Keaton.

Julian Keaton shrugged.

At times like this, he especially missed Cecilia Lynch.

If only Cecilia Lynch were by his side, he’d definitely not be tortured like this and could compete with Caden Lockwood to see who dotes on his wife more.

Thinking about it, the melancholy between Julian Keaton’s brows deepened, and his handsome face was full of helplessness.

He sighed enviously, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

When Evelyn Morgan came out, she only saw Julian Keaton’s back.

She hurried her steps to Caden Lockwood’s side and anxiously asked, "He didn’t interfere with Cece working at your company, did he?"

Caden Lockwood didn’t answer Evelyn Morgan’s question but asked in return, "What did Dad say to you?"

"He praised me!" Evelyn Morgan laughed, "Although it’s by pure luck, being lucky is a skill too, so he told me to keep it up and continue being lucky."

Caden Lockwood rolled his eyes at Evelyn Morgan, coldly saying, "Do you think I’m a three-year-old child?"

It’s obvious, James Lockwood would never say such things. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"He really didn’t say anything special!" Evelyn Morgan pouted, "Just that I should get closer to Aunt Stone in the future."

Upon hearing this, Caden Lockwood’s thin lips straightened, showing no sign of a smile.

Seeing Evelyn Morgan came out so quickly, it indeed seemed she didn’t say much to James Lockwood.

Thinking so, Caden Lockwood directly picked Evelyn Morgan up sideways and started walking out of the banquet hall.

"Hey!" Evelyn Morgan panicked, "Put me down quickly!"

What was the meaning of this sudden action?

"Don’t your feet hurt?" Caden Lockwood’s voice was icy, but his handsome face showed tenderness in his dark eyes, "It’s not a short walk to the parking lot from here." His tone was awkward.

Evelyn Morgan’s breath caught.

Was Caden Lockwood... caring for her?

Seeing Caden Lockwood’s gaze sweep across her face, she shyly avoided eye contact, immediately burying her face in his chest.

She closed her eyes tightly, her mind buzzing, taking deep breaths for air.

Oh god!

Was this man flirting with her?

"Take your time breathing, Missus." Caden Lockwood’s voice was very gentle.

Evelyn Morgan froze, every cell in her body turning rigid, it felt like a thousand tiny fireworks exploded inside her, making normal breathing difficult.

Caden Lockwood couldn’t help but laugh, his laughter deep and pleasing to the ear, his chest moving as if gently caressing Evelyn Morgan’s cheek.

Slightly parting his thin lips, he said in a low voice, "Don’t suffocate yourself." His voice was rich and intoxicating like fine wine, making one’s heart completely awash in intoxication.

"How could I possibly suffocate!" Evelyn Morgan’s voice caught in her throat, "I’m not that fragile! If a man can’t control himself, and wants to... whenever he sees a woman, that would be a crime..."

"Missus, you’re overthinking." Caden Lockwood raised an eyebrow, amusement shining in his eyes, "I meant your breathing, you’ve been holding it for so long."

Evelyn Morgan’s cheeks flushed even redder, her whole body felt like it was on fire with discomfort.

Dammit!

How did she get played again!

"Uncle," she glared at him in displeasure, trying to appear tough, "You’ll regret crossing me!"

"Oh?" Caden Lockwood’s smile widened, his whole handsome face glowing with youthful vigor, "So, you’re looking to challenge me?"
