Trapped in Love

Chapter 873 Holding an Engagement Party 

“Some things need clarification as soon as possible. Avoiding it won’t be good for you or Paige,” Evan advised.

“I know. I just don’t know how to bring it up,” Alex admitted.

“Start by addressing the issues around Azure and the baby to minimize biases against Paige,” Evan suggested.

Alex was stunned. “Are you saying I should tell my parents that Azure killed their grandchild? That won’t work! In fact, my mother didn’t even think Paige’s baby was mine!”

Evan sneered. “Is that the end of it if they say it’s not yours? Alex, are you going to step up and act like a man?”

“How am I not doing it? I went to meet Azure, didn’t I?”

“Have you? You claim you love Paige deeply, but you don’t even have the courage to defend her.”

Alex was rendered speechless.

“Remember to come to the engagement party tomorrow,” Evan reminded.

Alex was stunned. “Which engagement party?”

“My engagement with Caroline,” Evan clarified, walking over to the table and sitting down.

Alex’s eyes widened in shock. “Why is there no news at all? Have you informed the media?”

“I will be announcing to the media at midnight. I will tell everyone about my engagement with Caroline,” Evan smiled.

Alex was genuinely happy for Evan. “You and Caroline have finally found happiness after facing challenges!”

“You can too. Alex, ask yourself. Will you still choose Paige in her current condition?” Evan glanced at him.

“I want to be with her against all odds! I’m not worried about her illness. I just want her to come back to me!” Alex declared without hesitation.

Evan stared at him. “Are you ready to endure public scrutiny?”

“I am!”

“Are you ready to accept the risk of being infected?”

“I am!”

Evan smiled. “If you can do it all, why have you been procrastinating on your parents‘ approval?”

Alex was rendered speechless.

“I can’t help you with this. Alex, you can only depend on yourself,” Evan reminded.

Alex sighed. “I know… I’ll have an open conversation with them soon.”

Evan said, “I would like to remind you to address this matter before Azure’s hearing. Once the judgment is made, it won’t be easy to appeal, and the Millers won’t let this go easily either.”

“I know. Are you holding an engagement party tomorrow night?” Alex asked.

Evan confirmed, “Yes.”

“Alright, send me the address. I’ll come with Lucas.”

That night, Evan returned to Bayview Villa. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

He saw Kenny and Caroline sitting on the sofa, choosing drinks for the event. They did not notice him entering the house.

Upon noticing the situation, Evan turned and walked out to head to the villa next door.

The interior designer greeted Evan hastily, “What brings you here, Mr. Jordan?”

Evan said, “Just dropping by to take a look. How much longer until it is finished?”

“One week. Would you like to see the princess room upstairs, Mr. Jordan?” the interior designer offered.

Evan looked upstairs and said, “No, I’ll see when the renovation is done.”

The interior designer said, “Sure.”

After observing for a while, Evan returned to Caroline’s place.

Kenny was on the phone, and Caroline walked out of the kitchen with cut fruits. She stopped walking when she saw Evan. “Where did you go earlier?”

Evan said, “How do you know that I’m back?”

Caroline replied, “I know you’re home even if you don’t make much noise. Come and have some fruit.”
