"I just applied my lipstick!" Tom lamented painfully.

The frenzied kissing failed to satisfy Caden Lockwood, leaving him feeling even emptier, desperately needing this woman in front of him to fill the void.

Caden Lockwood was agitated. He loosened his grip on Evelyn Morgan slightly and felt a bit better only after seeing her lipstick, which he had devoured.

"I don’t want others to see your beauty." Caden’s voice was very soft, murmuring in Evelyn’s ear, "I want to keep you hidden at home, exclusively mine."

Listening to Caden’s words, Evelyn’s breath caught, and her cheeks turned redder and hotter.

Feeling embarrassed, she landed a gentle punch on his chest, which he immediately enclosed in his palm, as if she was something he owned. Her heart trembled along with it.

Seeing the tenderness and tension in Evelyn’s expression, Caden’s throat grew dry.

"Change the dress!" Caden spoke impatiently.

"Can’t change!" Tom’s voice was resolute, "You’re practically ruining the masterpiece I’ve crafted! What I’ve paired is absolutely perfect! Every detail reflects one another, you can’t change the outfit!"

"I also think the dress looks nice, why must I..."

Before Evelyn could finish speaking, a cold glare from Caden silenced her instantly.

"Long sleeves, a dress reaching the ankles, wide, and loose-fitting, get me something like that." Caden commanded.

Evelyn’s lips twitched awkwardly, seeing Caden’s stern face, she couldn’t help but find it amusing.

"Not here!" Tom snapped, "Do you think I’m a tailor? Can I just make any clothes for you? I haven’t even blamed you for eating my precious lipstick!"

Saying so, Tom walked over and took Evelyn’s hand, "Come on! Darling! Let’s reapply the lipstick!"

"Let her go!" Caden warned coldly.

Tom turned back and made a face at Caden, then seated Evelyn on the sofa to continue the final touch-up to her makeup.

With Tom and Evelyn’s insistence and cooperation, Caden was helpless and unable to change the dress Evelyn was wearing.

Sitting in the car, Caden’s face was dark, lips pressed tightly together, saying nothing.

Evelyn secretly chuckled to herself; she insisted on wearing this dress for a very simple reason.

Every time Caden made her angry enough to suffer internally, this time, it’s her chance to irritate him, and it seems rather fun!

Besides, the dress she wore wasn’t too revealing!

Just... a little bit exposed.

Once the car arrived outside the venue, Caden finally looked at Evelyn, coldly instructing, "Mind your dress!"

Then, Caden was the first to get out, and chivalrously opened the car door for Evelyn, helping her out.

Evelyn linked arms with Caden, and at that moment, her palms slightly dampened. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"I..." Evelyn whispered, "Will try not to make mistakes and won’t shame you."

"Evelyn Morgan." Caden’s voice squeezed out between clenched teeth, "The thought of so many men’s eyes on you soon makes me want to strangle you!"
