The atmosphere in the room suddenly became extraordinarily ambiguous, even the light turned a bit dim, softly illuminating Evelyn and Caden’s faces, revealing her panic and unease, and his assertive dominance.

Evelyn slightly turned her gaze away, Caden’s words echoed repeatedly in her ears, her heart pounding audibly.

"Uncle!" Evelyn’s cheeks flushed red, "Even if I became your true wife, you can’t abuse your position or act impulsively! If you think there’s a suitable position for Cece in the company, you’ll definitely keep it for her, right? Hey, heh, it’s late, I’m going to sleep now!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Evelyn flusteredly prepared to escape back to her bedroom.

Next to her, Kiki stood there watching Evelyn and Caden, that trademark angelic smile was perfectly fitting for the scene.

Just as Evelyn took a step, a pair of strong, powerful arms wrapped around her waist.

Immediately, her back was enveloped in warmth, and she could feel the steady thumping of a heart.

Evelyn’s hands unconsciously clenched into fists, standing rooted in place, all the hair on her body stood on end.

Oh God!

What is this situation?

Could Caden be... intending to... do that to her?

Then...

Should she agree, or refuse?

Evelyn was both anxious and flustered, her heart had jumped into her throat, feeling as though it might leap out at any moment.

Her breathing was rapid and scorching, as if all the heat in her body was rushing to her head, making her feel like she was about to explode.

What caught Caden’s eye was Evelyn’s bright red ears.

The corner of his lips curved into a pleased and relaxed smile, tightening his arms, pressing closer and more fervently against her.

He lightly kissed her earlobe, whispering softly in her ear, "Madam, do you know how hard it has been to wait, how hard it has been to endure?"

The warm breath fanned over her skin, seeping through her pores, spreading to every part of her body.

In that moment, Evelyn felt as if she were under a spell, her body no longer her own, but Caden’s.

Her body trembled uncontrollably, Evelyn gritted her teeth, lowered her head, her eyes fixed on the ground, her gaze chaotic and uneasy, without a place to rest.

What’s happening?

Why was her every thought at this moment — going along with his desire didn’t seem so bad?

Evelyn, have you lost your mind?

Do you know this man well enough?

Do you have steadfast feelings for this man?

You haven’t even had physical contact with him, you still hold the possibility of taking back your decision.

And yet, you’re about to muddle-headedly give yourself away?

Evelyn was completely in disarray, feeling that if she stayed with Caden any longer, she would certainly go insane!

Mustering all her strength, she pushed him away, unable to speak, she quickly ran back to her bedroom.

Getting into bed, she wrapped herself tightly with the covers, squeezing her eyes shut, not daring to open them again.

Especially not daring to face Caden.

Actually, it wasn’t that she didn’t dare to face Caden, but rather, she was confused about how to face the version of herself that wanted to submit to Caden whole-heartedly.

She didn’t understand.

The man she liked was clearly her big brother!

For so many years, what she always wanted was to become her big brother’s woman.

How was it that ever since she met Caden, her time spent thinking about her big brother had gradually decreased?

Every time she found herself idle, the first thought to pop into her head would be: What is Caden doing now?

Evelyn lightly bit her lip, sensing that alarming signal of danger making her panic immensely.

She couldn’t fathom what was wrong with her, and she didn’t dare to think deeply about it.
