Chapter 183
Trapped in Love
Chapter 183 He Tried to Get Me to Talk Caroline felt sorry for her children, but she couldnât do more until she resolved things with Daniella and Grayson.
She couldnât bear her children being taken away again. She couldnât manage everything, so she had to leave them with Evan, even though it was tough.
Safety was her utmost priority.
Caroline embraced Tyler and Axel, their small group standing closely together.
With a gentle sniffle, she assured, âIâll always be here for you, my dear children. I can visit anytime you want. Just hold on a bit longer, alright?â
Tyler and Liora both nodded while Axel remained silent Noticing Axelâs lack of response, Caroline eased her hold on him and looked at him. âAxel?â
Meeting her gaze, Axel cautiously asked, âWill I get to go with you too?â
Caroline felt a pang of sadness but responded quickly. âYes, my precious. Youâre coming with me too. How could I ever leave you behind?â
Axel smiled, Unexpectedly, Liora chimed in âHe tried to make me talk, Mommy!*
Caroline was puzzled âYou mean your father?â
Liora nodded. âYes. He asked me about your likes, but I didnt betray you because Iâm clever Caroline recalled the roses. How far would he go to discover her preferences, even involving their children?
Does he still think that Iâm the same person from five years ago? she thought.

Kenny observed Paige and questioned, âWhy did you choose such a provocative outfit, Paige?â
Although introduced through Caroline, Paige and Kenny had become close friends over time.
Paige sniggered There are so many hot guys working in Carolineâs company. I have no choice but to put in more effort in my dressing.â
âDesperate to get married, huh?â Kenny teased.
Paige said in contempt, âLove is like a swamp, and Iâm not foolish enough to step into it.â
Paige suddenly noticed a figure that startled her until she sat upright. She glared at the hall entrance and shook Caroline, who sat next to her.
âDâDid you invite Mr. Jordan, Carol?â
Caroline, who was busy texting, looked up and followed Paigeâs gaze. Her body tensed up abruptly at the sight of Alex and Evan walking into the hall.
âHow did they get an invitation to come here? she wondered.
Carolineâs seat was not far from the entrance, so Alex and Evan noticed them easily.
Alex greeted, âHeyâ
Caroline looked at them in puzzlement before her gaze landed on Evanâs cold face. He sent someone to investigate me, huh? He still hasnât changed his annoying habit after all these years!
Caroline looked at Evan in displeasure and said, âMr. Jordan, I donât remember inviting you. May I inquire how you received the invitation?â
