When Love Turns to Ashes (Beatrice and Caden)

Chapter 23 So Fond of Being Led by Others?

With a click of the door, Beatrice knew who was approaching even before she turned around. The tea canister in her hand dropped to the ground and rolled away.

The tea canister rolled once and finally stopped in front of a pair of men's leather shoes.

Beatrice was eager to pick up, but a pair of hands reached around her waist from behind, like at cold snake, coiling tighter and tighter.

Finally, she was trapped in front of the tea table, as the scorching heat gradually spread from the

His lips were pressed against her ear, his voice deep and tinged with a hint of playfulness. "So fond of being led by others?"

The exhaled hot air brushed against Beatrice's ear like a feather, tickling her. She wanted to escape desperately, but as soon as she moved a little, the intimidating presence behind her became even more overwhelming and forcefully suppressed her. The breath surrounded Beatrice from behind, and she could even feel how hot his chest was through his shirt. She couldn't avoid her earlobes turning red.

The man behind her looked at her restrained and shy appearance, his dark pupils as thick as the night, silently watching her, while his hand resting on her waist gently caressed. Beatrice's body trembled, and she lowered her voice as she struggled, "Uncle Caden, this is the Baldwin family!"

Just as Beatrice thought he would let her go, she was suddenly picked up and placed on the tea table.

She tried her best to restrain herself from making any

sound.

At that moment, the two of them were facing each other, and the appearance of the person/in front of her made Beatrice grit her teeth.

Caden had a solitary and dangerous countenance, with eyes like the cold stars of a winter might. His gaze was always so merciless and indifferent.

Beatrice was being watched by him, and hatred and... grievances rose in her heart. She had already been avoiding him, why wouldn't he let her go? Caden bent down and looked straight at her, his voice deep and low, "Now you're shifting your focus onto Oscar again?"

"Uncle Caden, it feels like I've been transferred to someone else, as if it has nothing to do with

He fell silent for a moment, hummed softly, and then grabbed her chin and lifted it high.

Beatrice's words were not finished yet when he forcefully kissed her, grinding his lips against hers with a fierce intensity.

At that moment, the surroundings instantly became quiet.

"No!" Beatrice retorted.

"Is that so? You didn't say that way that night."

He chuckled, with a hint of wickedness in his expression.

With a thumb wearing a ring, the thumb rubbed against the water droplets on Beatrice's belly, the warm jade had a special temperature, which was very comfortable and strange. Beatrice's abdomen shrank, she gasped lightly, and the remaining tune was once again. interrupted by Caden.

"Um..."

Caden went crazy!

If she was discovered by the Baldwin family, she would die!

Beatrice's strength was no match for him, and he forcefully lifted her up and kissed her. Suddenly, a knocking sound rang out.

"Beatrice, were you inside?"

It was Oscar.

Beatrice was startled.

Little did anyone know, Caden squinted his eyes and walked her to the door. Beatrice was so shocked that she could only tightly hold onto him, afraid that he might do something reckless.

But he kissed even harder, his palm freely caressing her skin.

And just one door away is Oscar!

Beatrice felt humiliated and wronged, but she had no choice but to plead with Caden through her eyes not to do this.

Oscar continued knocking on the door, "Beatrice, what's wrong with you? Why is the door locked? Did something happen?"

If you keep knocking like this, you will definitely alert others.

Beatrice was in a panic, and could only grab Caden's collar tightly.

Caden didn't release her until Oscar was ready to call for help, whispering in her ear, "You're off the hook for now."

Beatrice immediately got off Caden and picked up the tea leaves on the ground. She took a deep breath and opened the door.

"Brother! I'm fine. I accidentally locked the door when I went in just now." "Why aren't you saying anything?" Oscar asked with concern.

... I was standing on the ladder, trying to grab something, and I couldn't afford to be distracted.

That's why I didn't open the door right away," Beatrice explained, pursing her lips." Oscar nodded and observed her flushed face, worriedly asking, "Why is your face so red? Is there something wrong?" Beatrice shook her head and said, I was just a little bit in a hurry when I ran over." "Don't worry, as long as you're okay, let's go. I'll accompany you to make tea."

"Um."

As Beatrice stepped out of the tea room, she glanced to the side.

Caden

leaned against the wall, twirling his wrench, lazy yet dangerous. Beatrice didn't dare to stay, she forcefully closed the door and left.

Taking advantage of the break while brewing tea in the kitchen, she stood in the backyard and enjoyed the breeze for a while, allowing herself to calm down. Oscar handed her a plate of fruit that the servant had cut.

"Why do look so burdened?"

"No."

Beatrice took a cherry and put it in her mouth, but the crisp and sweet taste was tainted with someone else's breath, instantly causing her to lose her appetite. Looking at Oscar, who cared about her, she couldn't help but think of those terrible rumors and

worry.

Beatrice asked cautiously, "Big brother, have you had any conflicts with Uncle Caden "Uncle Caden used to be the head of the family now, he was decisive in his actions, but still kind to our family. Why would you ask such a question?" "Curiously, it seemed like he always arranged for you to go

abroad."

"It's just exercise. If I were as good as him, I wouldn't have to exercise for so long," Oscar joked. Beatrice couldn't say anything anymore.

Upon hearing that the water was ready, she set aside the fruits and went to brew tea, with Oscar's gaze following her from behind.
