Trapped in Love

Chapter 780 Follow Our Method 

Scott handed Caroline some cherries and asked, “Isn’t the plan practical?”

Caroline fixed her gaze on Scott. She wondered, ‘Why would Scott know about our next move? What’s prompting him to mention this out of the blue?

Caroline replied, “You’re right.”

Scott asked, “So, if Evan’s father is out of the picture, will you consider reconciling with Evan immediately?

Caroline hesitated. “I can’t be certain because I can’t predict what might happen between Evan and me in the near future. I can’t provide a definitive answer.”

Scott suggested, “Alright, let’s change the subject then.”

He stood up and added, “It’s getting late, and I have an early shift tomorrow,”

Caroline checked her watch reflexively. “It’s only 7:30 p.m.”

Scott paused as he put on his jacket and asked, “Caroline, do you not want me to head home?”

Caroline blushed and replied nervous y, “No, that’s not what I meant…”

“It’s okay. I understand,” Scott leaned in and whispered in her ear, making her blush from the flirtatious moment.

Caroline quickly stood up and circled around Scott, saying, ‘ll walk you out.”

As they reached the door, Scott gazed at the neighboring villa and asked, “I noticed it when I arrived, but I forgot to ask. Has the villa been sold?”

Caroline looked over and confirmed, “Yes, it’s been sold. The ownership transfer was completed this afternoon, and the new owners seemed to be in a hurry.”

Scott stared at the house momentarily, his eyes catching the dim streetlight. Just as Caroline was about to ask about his interest, he looked away and retrieved his car keys. “Alright. You should head inside. It’s cold out here. Goodbye.”

Caroline waved to Scott and watched him leave.

Later that night, at 9:30 p.m., Evan was reluctantly dragged out by Alex and Lucas for a night of drinking.

Evan glanced at Alex and remarked, “Has Paige given up on you? Is that why you’re allowed to go out and have fun now?”

Alex replied firmly, “I’m not here for fun. I told Paige I’m out making plans for your and Caroline’s happiness!”

Evan glanced at the array of liquor on the table and scoffed. “Are you planning with alcohol?”

Lucas poured himself a drink and chimed in. “No, Evan. We have a real plan, but first, we need to get you a bit tipsy!”

Evan raised an eyebrow. “You guys must be really bored, huh?”

Alex grinned mischievously and exchanged a glance with Lucas, “We’re not bored. We’re dedicated. Just follow our lead.”

At 11:00 p.m., Evan was sprawled on the sofa, thoroughly intoxicated from Alex and Lucas‘ relentless drinking games.

Alex quickly grabbed Evan’s phone, unlocked it, and found his messages with Caroline.

Lucas leaned in to look at the screen. “Do they always chat like this?”

After a brief moment, Alex commented, “Looks like they have zero romantic intentions. Just occasionall texts.”

Lucas was equally surprised. “How does Evan have so much patience?”

Alex speculated, “Maybe he’s worried about annoying Caroline. Let’s give her a call.” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

He dialed Caroline’s number, catching her off guard while she was browsing fashion websites.
