Trapped in Love

Chapter 837 Why Are You Like This Too 

Draco bled from his mouth after Evan’s severe beating.

Caroline clenched her fists, unable to shake Draco’s words from her mind. She never expected his favoritism toward Casey to reach such extremes.

‘Does he view Jamie so poorly that he’d call her Casey’s toy?‘ she wondered.

Suddenly, police officers burst into the interrogation room, forcefully taking Evan away as they left Draco behind.

Caroline looked at Evan, witnessing a pain she had never seen in his expression. His bloodshot eyes glowed with hatred and killing intent.

Although she longed to comfort him, her legs felt heavy, immobilizing her. How could she ease Evan’s pain when she couldn’t fully comprehend it?

Evan remained silent as they exited the station.

Upon returning to Bayview Villa, Evan locked himself in Caroline’s study, refusing to see her.

Concerned, the children inquired about Evan’s condition.

Liora lay on Caroline’s thighs and asked, “What’s happening with Daddy, Mommy?”

With mixed feelings, Caroline stroked Liora’s head and replied, “Daddy’s not in a good mood, so we shouldn’t disturb him, okay?”

Tyler frowned. “Did something unpleasant happen?”

Axel added, “Didn’t you go to the police station? Did Grandpa say something that upset Daddy?”

Caroline did not want to tell the children about the filthy, complicated matters. “We went to the police station, and there was a small conflict. However, I can’t explain it to you. For now, let’s wait for him to calm down and leave the study. Please show Daddy your care, okay?”

Tyler mentioned, “So, he’s also dealing with difficulties he can’t overcome.”

Liora glanced at Tyler. “Daddy is human too, not Iron Man!”

“Uh… Lia, Iron Man is also a human,” Axel corrected her. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Tyler chuckled. “Lia, even Axel can’t tolerate your ignorance.”

Liora clenched her fists in anger. “Stop talking, Tyler! Come on, Axel! Why are you like this, too?”

Axel hastily apologized, “I’m sorry. I was wrong, and I won’t say that again.”

Tyler’s eye twitched. “Axel, will you stop spoiling her like this?”

Axel defended, “She’s younger. Cut her some slack.”

“She’s the same age as us,” Tyler pointed out.

Axel clarified, “She’s a few seconds younger than us.”

The sight of the children’s squabble lifted a weight off Caroline’s heart. She glanced outside, wondering if Evan was in a slightly better mood now…

A loud thunderclap exploded outside.

Liora screamed and dove into Caroline’s arms swiftly. “Hold me, Mommy! I’m scared!”

Caroline lifted Liora hastily and placed her on her lap, saying softly, “It’s alright, Lia. Don’t be scared. I’m here.”

A heavy downpour began to patter soon.

Caroline carried Liora and led the two children to wash up. After putting the children to sleep, she headed downstairs to prepare some snacks and brought them to the study.

Caroline was about to knock on the door when her phone vibrated. She pulled out her phone with one hand while holding the tray in her other hand. She picked up Alex’s call and walked aside to speak.

Before she could say anything, Alex asked, “Is Paige sick, Caroline?”
