Trapped in Love
Chapfter 164 I Can Make It Up to You Kenny became emotional. âShe is my goddess!â
Alex said, âTell us more.â
Kenny let out a sigh âMy dear Carol had a tough life. When I first met her, she hardly ate. She managed work and studies while raising two babies. She made sure her children ate well, but she mostly had just bread I crossed paths with her at a fashion design contest. She offered to help me ensure a fair match for 1,500 Murician dollars. My reputation, earned through hard work, was on the line due to the competition âHonestly, I would have paid even 10,000 Murician dollars! She made some tweaks to my design and sample outfit, causing the person who copied my work to lose the contest. From that moment, my dear Carol became my goddess!â
Evan and Alex fell silent.
Alex eventually grasped the meaning of Carolineâs earlier comment. Evanâs suffering was minor compared to Carolineâs tragic life.
Evan was consumed by quilt. He suddenly stood and walked to the washroom.
Caroline leaned on the basin to gargle after vomiting so she didnât notice Evan standing behind her. When she rose and looked in the mirror, she saw him with bloodshot eyes, staring at her.
Caroline became alert and asked, âWhat do you want?â
âWhy didnât you tell me?â Evan asked in a hoarse voice.
Caroline was confused. âWhat do you mean?â
Evanâs voice quivered with sympathy as he asked, âWhy didnât you let me know about your hardships?â
Caroline shrugged indifferently, saying, âItâs not a big deal.â
âCaroline, I take responsibility for what happened before.â Evanâs expression was tense.
Caroline was surprised that Evan, who was usually so proud, admitted his mistake.
âI donât get what you mean, Mr. Jordan,â Caroline replied.
âI can make it up to you by helping with your identity, finances, and status, but donât blame Axel.â
Evanâs tone was earnest. âYou can seek retribution from Daniella, but Axel is innocent.â
Caroline scoffed. âDo you think I want your charity? Evan, do you believe Iâd take revenge on a child because of issues with Daniella? Clearly, you didnât listen to me that night. Trust has been nonexistent between us for a long time. Please, donât interfere in my life anymore! I never want to see you again!â
With those words, Caroline walked away.
Evan hastily gripped her arm, asking, âHow can I trust you wonât direct your anger at Daniella and your disappointment in me toward Axel?â
Caroline was furious. âIf you cared for Axel so much, where were you all this time? Is it my fault that Axel became withdrawn due to the pain he endured? Were you too blind to see what Daniella did to him? Instead of doubting me now, you should think about how you can get Daniella to make amends She couldnât reveal Axel was hers to Evan. If she did, Evan might confront Daniella and kill her. due to his anger from being lied to. If that happened, Daniellaâs fate would be better than what Caroline intended.
Evan withdrew, his gaze dimmed. She was correctâhis neglect had led to Axelâs current condition. It was his mistake, so blaming Caroline for harming his son wasnât fair.
The gathering ended without joy.
Axel brought his laptop to school on Thursday.
