Chapter 716: What Did You Do to Evelyn's Brother?

“Mom, you’ll live to be a hundred.” Caden Lockwood spoke confidently, “Don’t give up so easily.”

“Living to a hundred, I don’t even dare to think about it. I just want to have fewer regrets while I’m alive.” Lily Thorne spoke with deep sadness between her brows.

Then she continued, “I know you’re busy, but my daughter-in-law isn’t. I hope she can spend more time with me. You can rest assured, some things that shouldn’t be said, I don’t think I’ll say them.”

Evelyn Morgan was baffled by Caden Lockwood and Lily Thorne’s words. She widened her eyes, filled with intense confusion.

Caden Lockwood’s face turned even darker. He held Evelyn Morgan’s hand tightly, clearly forgetting to control his strength, causing her to pull her hand back immediately from the pain.

Only then did Caden Lockwood come to his senses, looking at Evelyn Morgan with deep apology in his eyes.

“Mom.” Caden Lockwood looked back at Lily Thorne, “It’s perfectly fine for you to want to spend time with your daughter-in-law. However, Evelyn is currently busy with her studies, so it’s better to let her focus on that. When you’re bored, I’ll come to keep you company.”

Evelyn Morgan was even more confused.

She felt that Caden Lockwood was almost resisting her contact with Lily Thorne.

If it’s just because Lily Thorne doesn’t like her, he didn’t seem to need to go to such lengths!

Caden Lockwood looked at Evelyn Morgan again and said, “You and Yvette go wait for me in the car first. There’s something I want to discuss with my mom alone.”

Evelyn Morgan could only nod. She looked at Lily Thorne, apologetically saying, “Then… I’ll leave first.”

She couldn’t bring herself to say “Mom”.

After Evelyn Morgan and Yvette left, Caden Lockwood’s handsome face turned cold, and he questioned, “Why exactly? Why do you want to see her at this time?”

“Caden.” Lily Thorne frowned, “In your heart, how much of a terrible mother am I?”

“I know you’re not terrible.” Caden Lockwood spoke softly, “But I need a reason. Tell me, why are you looking for her at this particular time?”

“Is that a tone of blame!” Lily Thorne laughed coldly, “Your wife completely ignores me as her mother-in-law. If I actively remind her that I exist, does that make me utterly unforgivable in your eyes?”

Caden Lockwood was easily angered, “You know that’s not what I meant!”

“You’re too sensitive.” Lily Thorne’s face was expressionless, “As soon as I approach Evelyn Morgan, you think I want to do something to her. Ultimately, you still don’t trust me as your mother, thinking I would ignore a living life for my own health!”

Caden Lockwood remained silent.

It’s not that he wasn’t willing to trust Lily Thorne.

But it concerned Evelyn Morgan’s safety.

Moreover, he wasn’t completely sure that Lily Thorne wouldn’t harm Evelyn Morgan.

After all, from what Caden Lockwood understood, his mother wasn’t a one hundred percent kind person.

The atmosphere remained tense, with Caden Lockwood staring intently at his mother, neither of them willing to back down.

Finally, Caden Lockwood spoke first, “Do you know if Dad ever did anything to Evelyn’s brother?”

What Caden Lockwood was always bothered by was L’s phrase “deep-seated enmity.”

Since it had risen to the level of deep-seated enmity, Caden Lockwood couldn’t ignore it.

However, he had investigated and found nothing.

Listening to Caden Lockwood’s question, a trace of something hurried flashed in Lily Thorne’s eyes, and she asked cautiously, “What do you mean by that?”
