Trapped in Love
Chapter 157 Why Are You Getting So Worked Up?
Evanâs expression turned serious immediately as Caroline criticized him in front of many people.
He glared at Caroline and retorted, âYou took my child without asking, and now youâre scolding me?â
âI didnât tell you beforehand, and Iâm sorry!â Carolineâs anger was evident in her clenched teeth. But consider Axelâs feelings Questioning him right away might harm him. Havenât you seen how Axel is doing? Please, show some care and compassionâ
Evan squinted. âWhy are you so concerned about my child?â
Caroline was left speechless. She had forgotten that Evan didnât know her connection to Axel because she focused on Axel earlier.
She changed the topic quickly. Iâm just advising you to be gentle with Axelâ
Evan scoffed and walked up to Caroline. âIâm curious why youâre so invested in my son. Are you trying to get back at him after failing with Daniella?â
Caroline glared at Evan, thinking. âIs it necessary to stoop so low and seek revenge on an innocent child?
âIâm right, arenât I? No comeback?â
âMr. Jordan!â
Suddenly, Scott stepped forward and positioned himself between Caroline and Evan.
Their eyes met, and Scott spoke calmly. âPlease understand Carolâs intention. Axel is struggling due to Daniellaâs abuse. He needs special care now. Carol brought him here for a playdate, a form of therapy.â
Evan assumed an arrogant posture and regarded Scott with disdain. âYouâre not qualified to address me.â
Reuben stepped in and said, âDoctor Wilson, please donât involve yourself in Mr. Jordan and Ms.
Shentonâs affairs.â
âBad man! Youâre bad!â Liora rushed toward Evan unnoticed and started hitting him, defending.
Scott in a childlike manner. âYou canât bully Papa Wilson!â
Evan frowned and glanced down at the protective girl. He pursed his lips, thinking she resembled Caroline when she was angry.
Caroline, scared, quickly lifted Liora into her arms. Tâm sorry I didnât watch her,â Caroline apologized, knowing it was her fault Evan didnât intend to punish Liora, but he was puzzled as she was calling Scott âpapa Is she Caroline and Scottâs child? he wondered Evan looked at Tyler again. Why does this boy look so much like me?â
Pointing at Tyler, Evan asked, âHow am I connected to him?â
Caroline shielded Tyler nervously and said with false calmness, Thereâs no connection!â
Evan noticed Carolineâs odd behavior and asked. âIf youâre still alive, where are my three children?â
The three children all turned their gaze to Caroline.
Caroline was speechless. She couldnât say her children were dead when they were present.
Before Caroline could reply, Scott spoke. âSurviving heavy bleeding during pregnancy is already a miracle. Donât push it, Mr. Jordan!â
Caroline looked at Scott gratefully. He skillfully avoided the truth while protecting the children.
Caroline explained, âI care for orphans, and I adopted these children. Do you have a problem with that?â
Tyler and Liora were shocked to be called orphans. 1 Evan sneered. âAdopted, yet they resemble both of us?â
