Chapter 440: Desperate to Leave Him
Chapter 440: Desperate to Leave Him
Caden Lockwood held Evelyn Morgan tightly, listening to her seemingly coy tone, a trace of a smile appeared on his face.
"He dares!" Caden said sternly, as he untied the ropes binding her hands, "It’s my fault. I should have sent a bodyguard to stay by your side earlier, to protect your safety."
"Then why didn’t you send one?" Evelyn immediately asked.
Upon hearing this, the corner of Caden’s lips twisted awkwardly.
Loosening his grip on Evelyn slightly, he looked into her eyes and softly said, "If I sent a bodyguard to follow you earlier, you would certainly refuse."
Evelyn thought about it and agreed.
When nothing bad has happened, who knows they would encounter a kidnapping!
"Now, are you willing to have a bodyguard by your side?" Caden asked lightly, "I’ve found a female bodyguard who has good skills overall, but the only thing is she’s not very talkative and has a rather cold personality. I wonder if you can get along with her."
Evelyn clutched Caden’s clothes tightly, completely putting herself in his arms, afraid of any danger from the outside world attacking her.
He is her umbrella, the oxygen she relies on to survive.
All her doubts and grievances toward him at this moment were completely thrown out the window.
She only knew that when she desperately prayed for Caden to rescue her, he actually appeared!
He swept away the despair and coldness in her heart, saving her!
"Then I’ll consider it!" Evelyn said with some embarrassment, "Having someone with me all the time is really inconvenient!"
"See!" Caden appeared helpless, "You’ve already been kidnapped and still haven’t learned your lesson."
Evelyn pouted, muttering softly, "It’s because of you that I got kidnapped! Because I’m Mrs. Lockwood, he kidnapped me and wanted to kill me."
Listening to Evelyn, Caden’s gaze darkened, and his face turned pale.
He knew that what Evelyn said was true.
But at this moment, he wished she would be a little oblivious, to not know this truth.
He was worried she would be scared, and then would desperately want to leave him.
Evelyn was puzzled as to why Caden’s expression suddenly changed.
Was there something wrong with what she just said?
"Let’s get out of here first." Caden said as he untied the ropes on Evelyn’s feet, "Leave these matters to the police for now. Once I settle you down, I’ll deal with them myself!"
Seeing the decisive cold light in Caden’s eyes, Evelyn’s gaze shrank, involuntarily leaning closer into his embrace.
The corners of Caden’s lips curved into a faint smile, making himself look as gentle as possible.
He lifted her up horizontally and started walking outside.
Evelyn watched Caden; his handsome face still carried an easy and graceful demeanor, his thin lips curved with a gentle smile, making people feel at ease at first glance.
Caden also looked at Evelyn, enjoying the moment of her reliance on him.
Moreover, at this moment, she seemed to have completely forgotten her grievances against him.
Walking out the door, wherever Caden’s gaze reached, he saw a man in a police uniform standing behind a large tree, constantly watching Evelyn, with a gun in his hand pointed at her.
Caden immediately sensed something amiss; instinctively he knew that man was definitely not a real policeman.
Seeing Caden’s gaze suddenly turn decisively icy, Evelyn followed his line of sight.
She only saw a gun pointed at her and before she could react, she was swiftly spun around, and within a second, she was facing a different direction.
