Chapter 407 Do You Still Blame Me

Outside the clinic office, Yuliana eavesdropped on their conversation attentively. She removed her cap

and frowned deeply. Despite her resemblance to Eleanor, she disapproved of Caroline’s promiscuity.

‘How did Evan fall for her? she wondered.

Yuliana opened her photo album and reviewed the pictures she had taken earlier. Among them

were snapshots of Caroline, Casey, and Scott.

She contemplated for a moment and then sent all the photos to Evan’s email.

In the afternoon, Evan returned from the construction site to find Axel peacefully napping on the

sofa. As he approached Axel and began to wake him. Axel stirred on his own.

Axel’s lips quivered as he focused on the figure in his vision. “Daddy’s home.”

Despite his desire to sit up, Axel’s arms were too sore and weak to support himself. He had forgotten

about the severe nosebleed he had had before falling asleep.

He had lost so much blood that he still felt dizzy, making it impossible to get up now.

“Axel, are you keeping something from me?” Evan asked

Axel’s face turned ghostly pale, and Evan studied him with a furrowed brow.

Axel shook his head with great effort. “No, Daddy, I just didn’t sleep well last night.”

Evan reached out to feel Axel’s forehead, but Axel instinctively dodged his touch.

“I really am fine,” Axel repeated.

Evan’s hand hung in the air, his heart aching at Axel’s lowered gaze. Is Axel still upset with me for

taking him away from her? Does he prefer living with Caroline?‘

Evan’s voice turned cold as he withdrew his hand. “Do you still blame me for what happened?”

“I don’t blame you for bringing me home,” Axel replied, rising from the sofa but appearing

lethargic.

Evan stated firmly, “I don’t have to explain myself to you.”

“Why?” Axel stood upright, his gaze meeting Evan’s with indifference.

Evan was taken aback, Axel’s behavior was markedly different from the fearful, submissive boy

he once knew. Axel used to avoid eye contact, speaking sparingly.

Evan said, “You don’t understand the situation between your mother and me.”

“Daddy, do you realize you don’t trust me anymore?” Axel asked.

Evan frowned. “What are you getting at?”

“Mommy didn’t do anything wrong!”

Axel’s dark eyes burned with fierceness for the first time, and Evan felt a pang of quilt. It seemed.

like everyone believed Caroline except him.

Evan’s expression turned icy. “I taught you not to trust people too easily, didn’t I?”

“I can be cautious with others, but I won’t stop trusting Mommy!”

Tension filled the living room, and the nearby service staff were visibly alarmed. This was the first time

they had seen Axel and Evan converse in such a manner.

Evan narrowed his eyes. “You want to go back to her, don’t you?”

“Yes, but I won’t abandon you either.” Axel turned away and made his way up the stairs shortly

afterward.
