Chapter 718: Having You, Incredibly Happy

Caden Lockwood sighed deeply, looking out at the pitch-black scenery outside the window, his handsome face full of sorrow.

At this moment, Evelyn Morgan came in with a glass of milk, gently knocking on the office door. Only after hearing his voice did she walk inside.

“Drink some milk!” Evelyn said softly, “I know you’re busy with work, but you have to take care of your health too!”

“Have you had yours?” Caden asked. “Don’t just remind me to take care of myself; you need to take care of yourself too.”

“I had mine long ago! Aunt May never lets me go to sleep without finishing my milk!” Evelyn said with a smile.

Caden nodded, finished his milk, and then pulled Evelyn into his arms.

“I’m not here to interrupt your work!” Evelyn said shyly. “You go ahead and continue, I’ll just read for a while!”

“No.” Caden spoke softly. “I need to take some of your time; I have some things to discuss with you.”

“What is it?” Evelyn turned to look at Caden. “You look so serious!”

Immediately, Evelyn quickly said, “If it’s good news, I’ll listen; if not, you’d better keep it to yourself!”

Since Caden returned home, Evelyn had felt that he had been acting strangely.

And now, he appeared even more peculiar.

Moreover, she seemed to have a premonition that whatever he wanted to tell her was not going to be good news.

If it isn’t good news, she’d rather… not hear it.

Listening to Evelyn’s words, Caden hesitated again.

What he intended to say was undoubtedly not good news for them.

If it’s bad news, she doesn’t want to hear it?

He thought perhaps she too was unwilling to let go of the happiness in their current life?

Should he… say it or not?

Should he perhaps keep it hidden for as long as he can?

Caden sighed deeply again, then seriously asked, “If it’s bad news, you really don’t want to hear it?”

“Yes!” Evelyn responded firmly. “If it’s bad news, don’t tell me! I don’t want to know!”

After hesitating for a moment, Evelyn added, “But, if it’s something bad that you need my help to deal with, then you should tell me! If it’s just to let me know some bad news, then stop there!”

Hearing this, Caden couldn’t help but smile.

He looked into Evelyn’s eyes, saying gently, “You’re becoming more astute now, thinking everything through thoroughly!”

Even he could not have imagined the indulgent tone in his voice.

“I’ve been through so much already that if I don’t become a little smarter, how can I maintain the happiness we have now?” Evelyn beamed, “You too! Don’t let certain things affect you and make you unhappy!”

She then added, “I know you might want to confess some things you’ve been hiding from me. However, if you don’t want to say anything, you can continue keeping it from me, because I trust you unconditionally!”

“Honey.” Caden’s voice was deep and full of warmth, brimming with emotion, “I feel increasingly blessed to have you.”

“Right!” Evelyn squinted and smiled. “I also think you’re incredibly lucky to have ended up with someone like me!”

Caden harbored no intention of teasing Evelyn; his words came straight from the heart.

Furthermore, the feeling of luck he had couldn’t be captured by just a single sentence.

“Then I won’t tell you.” Caden decided. “But you are quite interesting; before, you would always press me with questions you wanted answers to, and now, when I’m finally willing to tell you, you refuse to listen.”
