Chapter 63 Stop Playing Dumb

Caroline’s mind was in a state of stupefaction as she found herself in Evan’s bedroom. She rubbed her forehead, unable to recall how Evan had brought her here.

Footsteps reached her ears, and she looked up to see Evan’s gloomy yet handsome face. He walked towards the bed and gazed down at her, his tone cold as he asked, “You’re awake?”

Caroline gave him a grumpy look. “What kind of question is that?”

Evan noticed the sarcasm in her eyes, and his face turned dull. “Ungrateful as ever! I brought you home, but you didn’t even thank me.”

“Thank you,” Caroline replied, lowering her gaze. Her tone was so calm that it lacked any hint of gratitude.

His frustration rose, and he swallowed slightly while thinking, “She really knows how to drive me

crazy.

After a moment, he asked, “Why didn’t you eat properly? Don’t you know it’s not good for your

health?”

Caroline pursed her lips, refusing to answer his questions. Despite feeling dizzy, she pushed the blanket aside and tried to get out of bed.

“Caroline!” Evan pressed her shoulders down, a tinge of anger visible in his eyes. “Don’t force me to tie you up in bed with ropes.”

Caroline looked up at him with cold eyes. “You have no right to keep locking me up now.”

After what had happened the previous night, Caroline couldn’t bring herself to believe his words. She couldn’t trust that he wouldn’t behave wildly and take liberties with her again.

Caroline put on her slippers and walked out, determined to leave his bedroom.
