Trapped in Love
Chapter 436 Christmas Eve
Evan couldnât help but ask, âAre you trying to use him or get close to him?â
Caroline was taken aback. âIf you donât trust me, why bother asking pointless questions?â
Evan insisted, âI just want to know the truth!â
Caroline snapped, âMust you label everything I say as a lie?â She couldnât control her frustration.
I must be crazy for trying to explain to him earlier. Heâll never believe me anyway, she thought to
herself.
Evan scoffed âAre you getting upset because I called you out?â
Caroline clenched her fists and took a deep breath. âWill you please get checked at the hospital for
paranoia? Stop torturing me! I canât take your constant suspicion anymore!â
Caroline stormed out of the room, leaving Evan alone on the sofa.
âWhich one is the real her? he wondered.
In the afternoon, Caroline told Paige about Alexâs explanation.
Paige replied, âLet him be. Iâm going to take a nap.â
Caroline didnât say more and focused on her work.
At 2:30 p.m., Caroline received a message that her children had completed their physical
examinations.
She also received a text from Scott.
Scott sent a photo of the school with the caption: I was worried Lia might be scared of needles, so
I took time off from work and joined the hospitalâs health checkâup team here. Donât worry. Lia
and the others are very brave.]
Before she could reply, Casey messaged her.
Casey: [Were you okay last night? Did Evan bother you?]
Caroline sneered

Caroline: [We had a heartâtoâheart talk about you.]
Casey: [As expected, but you donât seem shaken by him.]
Caroline: [Donât let him tag along next time. Even if you donât feel awkward, I find it uncomfortable.
Casey: [Of course. I donât want to get into a fight with him either.] 1
Caroline looked disgusted.
Caroline: [Isnât this suffering of your own making?
Casey: [You have a point. So, whatâs your plan?]
Casey left the initiative to Caroline this time, waiting to see if she would take action against Evan.
Caroline: Iâll let you know when I have something.]
Casey: [Sure, take your time. Iâll wait for your message]
After replying to the texts, Caroline pondered deeply. She knew Casey was testing her
determination for revenge. She couldnât rush to extract information now, or her motives would be
exposed. She needed to plan her revenge against Evan carefully.
Caroline collected herself and replied to Scottâs text
Caroline. I can relax knowing youâre with the children. Would you like to come over for dinner
tonight?)
Scott: [Iâm on the night shift. I changed my schedule for Christmas Eve so we can spend it together.]
Caroline was shocked. Is it Christmas already?!â
She had put Daniellaâs matter on hold after Jamieâs death, realizing she couldnât proceed with her plan
due to unforeseen circumstances. She needed to find an opportunity to expose Daniellaâs identity soon.
Scott: [Are you busy?]
Caroline (I was lost in thought, sorry]
Scott: (Hmm. Can I help ease your mind?
Caroline: [Youâre quite the charmer these days, Scott.]
Scott: [Iâm just kidding. Tell me, whatâs bothering you?]
Caroline pondered
Caroline: [Iâd like to visit the Xanders on Christmas Eve]
