Chapter 185 I Don’t Think I’m Hiding

Meanwhile, the music at the venue came to a halt.

Amidst the silence, the email notification ringtone chimed

Evan’s gaze fixed on Caroline and Kenny.

Shortly after, Kenny retrieved his phone, swiftly glancing at Evan when he noticed the incoming

email

Their eyes locked, and Kenny’s expression turned visibly anxious. He quickly put the phone in hist

pocket, feigning nonchalance.

Evan sneered and concluded that Kenny was G

He won’t agree to my higher offer, so it seems he’s siding with Caroline. Why? Are you trying to

prove your love only for Caroline despite the temptations? Evan pondered

Evan lifted his glass and downed his drink.

Observing the situation, Paige refilled Evan’s glass, ensuring her best friend remained out of

trouble.

In a playful tone, Paige instigated, “Drinking alone is no fun, Mr. Jordan. You should get Mr. Pierce

to join you!”

She was about to pour a drink for Alex as she spoke.

Alex covered his glass swiftly. “Why don’t you drink with your employer then? Are you scared?”

Paige’s lips twitched. “I don’t deserve to drink with my employer in view of my status. You’re his

friend. Why won’t you drink with him?”

“It seems that you’re sensible enough to know that Evan won’t drink with you. Hey, how about I

drink with you then?” Alex was smiling in his eyes as he looked at Paige scornfully.

His gaze looked like a provocation to Paige!

Paige raised her voice and said, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“I’m not. Just tell me if you’d dare to drink with me.”

Paige gnashed her teeth and braced herself.

“Sure! I’m going to get you drunk tonight!”

Caroline was rendered speechless. How did they end up drinking while in the middle of an argument?

With a soft sigh, Caroline picked up her glass and strolled to the hotel’s backyard. She preferred the

calm there, away from the crowd.

Seated on a bench, she was ready to savor the moonlit night when a chilly sensation enveloped

her.

Instinctively, she turned her head and saw Evan approaching.

Evan’s authoritative aura left Caroline flustered.

She composed herself with great effort and was about to stand up when Evan said, “What are you

hiding from?”

Caroline said, “I don’t think I’m hiding.”

Evan sat beside Caroline, crossed his long legs, and arrogantly said, “Don’t you want to know how

the children are?”

Caroline answered calmly, “Is there a point to ask? You’re the one who decides if you want to tell,

right?

Evan sneered “How can you consider yourself a mother when you don’t even ask about your

children? What sets you apart from Daniella?

As soon as Daniella’s name came up, Caroline was filled with fury, her gaze locked onto Evan’s

face.

“Who are you to criticize me? Why make me bring up the past and argue? What sets me apart from

Daniella?

“If you hadn’t doubted my behavior without reason before, I wouldn’t be in this helpless situation

now. And how are you any different when you don’t even know about Axel’s condition?”

Evan’s expression turned solemn.

The atmosphere was tense, and they stopped speaking.

After a long while, Evan suppressed his anger and asked, “Why must we quarrel when we speak?”

Caroline sneered. “Haven’t you noticed that you’re the one forcing me to speak to you like this?”
