Slowly Falling into His Love Trap-Chapter 37: Go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to Check if She’s Married

"I’m scared." Evelyn cried, "Could it be... my uncle’s true identity has been found out by them? Everyone will know I’ve found a Cowherd? They’ll definitely want to reach out to parents, stir up Aunt May, and then..."

She dared not think further about what could happen next.

"Evelyn!" Cecilia Lynch held her hand, "Don’t panic! First, try to understand the situation. No matter what happens, face it calmly! If things get worse, you’ll still have me! I’ll always support you!"

Evelyn wanted to cry but there were no tears. She desperately wished to disappear from this world, unwilling to face the homeroom teacher and principal.

Oh God!

She regretted it to death!

Why did she seek out a Cowherd after getting drunk?

Does she have some hidden special fetish?

After saying goodbye to Cecilia, Evelyn hurried to school. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Upon entering the principal’s office, seeing the principal and homeroom teacher’s faces relatively calm, Evelyn’s heart was still in her throat, almost jumping out.

"Sit." The principal said kindly, yet exuding the authority expected of a wise older man, "Miss Morgan, you’re a student at our school, a university student getting married isn’t a common occurrence, as the principal of our school, I should thoroughly understand this situation, please cooperate, and tell me the ins and outs."

Evelyn barely dared to sit, she hung her head like a child who had done wrong, her hands behind her back, looking pathetically honest.

But her mind was racing—while everyone still didn’t know her uncle’s identity as a Cowherd, she mustn’t nervously blurt it out.

Once the news of hiring a Cowherd spreads, her life might explode!

"It’s a misunderstanding," she explained in a small voice, "He’s not my husband, I didn’t get married, it’s just a... a reason my uncle came up with to help me when he knew I was going to refuse my senior’s confession."

Even Evelyn herself couldn’t believe this was true when she finished speaking.

But, frustratingly, it was exactly the truth!

"Miss Morgan, you shouldn’t lie to the principal!" The homeroom teacher pressured, "You’re an adult, we won’t interfere if you get married. You don’t have to hide it, boldly say it out."

Evelyn looked at the homeroom teacher with a distressed face, hoping to convey the truth through her eyes.

But what she received back was big bold writing of sheer distrust.

"Don’t be afraid." The principal said in a deep voice, "We just want to know something about your husband. For example, who is he, what does he do? A comprehensive understanding of the situation is my care as a principal for the students!"

Evelyn was bewildered.

Whether she’s married or not, does it have anything to do with her husband’s occupation?

Why are they so eager to know what her uncle does?

Could it be they’ve heard rumors, guessed her uncle’s profession?

Oh no!

"I’m really not married!" Evelyn became more anxious, "If you don’t believe me, you can check at the civil affairs bureau!"

She tried her best to distance herself from her uncle, grasping onto the hope that even if his identity were to be revealed, she’d have some ground to deny it.

But once her uncle’s identity slips, she’d have no defense!

The principal and homeroom teacher exchanged a glance, then looked back at Evelyn, only half-believing her words.

"Then, what’s his surname?" The principal continued questioning.

Evelyn’s lips awkwardly twitched, she actually only knew that her uncle’s name included the character "Caden."

The principal’s face turned stern, "Even this you’re unwilling to say?"
