Slowly Falling into His Love Trap-Chapter 88: His Marriage Should Be Settled

Evelyn shuddered uncontrollably and shook her head, finding it impossible to believe that Caden Lockwood would do such a thing.

But what exactly happened between the two of them that night?

Evelyn was tormented by this series of doubts to the point of madness, feeling an overwhelming impulse to drag Caden Lockwood away and demand answers.

However, she simply didn’t have the courage.

At this moment, the best thing she should do was dig a hole and disappear.

Evelyn’s vision, hearing, and sense of smell seemed to fail her all at once; she completely missed whatever James Lockwood was saying on stage.

It wasn’t until Eleanor Keaton pinched her arm that she snapped back to reality.

"Evelyn." Eleanor Keaton’s lips curled into a victorious smile, "Open your eyes wide and see for yourself, I’m about to be announced as Caden’s fiancée. Soon, we will get married, so stop fantasizing! You aren’t even qualified to be the third wheel!"

Evelyn stared blankly at Eleanor, opened her mouth, but her throat was too dry to make a sound.

But her reaction speed finally improved, and her thinking became more comprehensive.

If Caden Lockwood is about to marry Eleanor, then the marriage certificate she received today must be fake!

If that’s the case, then great!

She would no longer be troubled by his identity, nor would she care about that night between them; she just wanted to stay as far away from him as possible!

Yet Evelyn always felt that ahead lay a deep pit, a super deep pit.

There was no way she could escape so easily!

She couldn’t help but glance at Caden Lockwood, only to find him looking right back at her, which gave her a big fright, causing her to quickly avert her gaze as her heart seemed to pound out of her chest.

Moments ago, she seemed to have seen that meaningful smile at the corner of his lips.

This is bad!

Why did she even come here?

Feeling guilty, she looked around the room, searching for an escape route in case she had no other option.

"Everyone knows that my only son, Caden Lockwood, is still unmarried. At my age, my greatest wish is to have a big family, and I would especially love to hold a grandchild!" James Lockwood said, looking over at Caden Lockwood, smiling, "It’s time to settle my son’s marriage!"

Caden Lockwood gave no eye contact to James Lockwood, continuing to focus on Evelyn.

But she wasn’t looking at him, which inevitably made him furious.

However, it didn’t matter.

Later, he’d have plenty of time to deal with her properly!

James Lockwood withdrew his gaze and glanced around the room, his eyes landing on Eleanor Keaton, naturally noticing Evelyn beside her as well.

Regarding the rumors about the woman linked with Caden Lockwood, James Lockwood would certainly be informed.

He had heard about the talk at this banquet that Evelyn was considered a "servant" to Eleanor Keaton.

Eleanor Keaton had already blocked Evelyn’s road to becoming the Young Madam of the Lockwood Family, believing that Caden Lockwood wouldn’t be so ignorant and should be able to let go of Evelyn.

James Lockwood nodded slightly, seeing Eleanor Keaton in a higher regard.

The future mistress of the Lockwood Family must have means, and the deeper her mind, as long as it’s for the family’s sake, the more fitting she is.

"I know everyone’s been curious about the choice of the future mistress of the Lockwood Family, and even some absurd rumors have circulated." Even as James Lockwood smiled, he retained his authority.

He glanced at Evelyn before continuing, "Today, while everyone is here, I won’t keep you in suspense any longer. I’ll announce this good news! My daughter-in-law is present here today; she bears the surname Keaton and is the daughter of the esteemed Keaton Family..."
