Chapter 729: Forgive Me, Please?

Evelyn was filled with hate, hating herself for being a match to donate a heart to Caden’s mother.

Yet, it seemed she couldn’t truly bring herself to hate.

Because, if she hadn’t been of use, how would Caden have even met her back then?

“Evelyn.” Caden let his hands fall weakly at his sides, “The one who fell in love with you wasn’t the big brother who approached you for your heart, but the one standing before you, your husband.”

Upon hearing this, Evelyn trembled intensely, looking at Caden with tears streaming down her face.

“It’s my fault.” Caden was even more dejected, “No matter how much I try to justify it, I can’t hide the original purpose of taking you in. Evelyn, please forgive me, okay?”

“I want to be alone for a while.” Evelyn said softly, averting her gaze from Caden, “You should leave first.”

“Evelyn…”

“I’m really confused right now!” Evelyn raised her voice, “If you can’t give me the answer I want, then… at least give me some peace, okay?”

Caden clenched his fists, looking at Evelyn’s resolute expression, feeling helpless and heartbroken, every cell in his body radiating pain.

“Alright.” Caden replied, “I’ll be just outside. If you need anything, you can call me anytime. Don’t overthink it, okay?”

Evelyn didn’t respond, she didn’t even glance at Caden again.

Caden could only turn around and leave the bedroom.

Standing at the door, he looked at Evelyn one last time. Seeing she still had no intention of speaking to him, he glanced at the door he had kicked earlier and decided to wait in the study.

Once again, Evelyn was alone in the bedroom.

She sat on the bed, motionless like a sculpture, her body becoming stiff.

She was really confused and couldn’t believe it.

Back then, she got separated from Caleb and was left all alone until she met Caden.

She thought she had encountered a celestial figure, always admiring him. But to think his initial reason for appearing before her was… her heart?

Although he never really did anything inappropriate to her or harmed her, just the thought of that purpose made her shiver uncontrollably.

Tears streamed down once more, darkness gradually engulfing the light before her eyes. She hugged herself tightly, still preoccupied with thoughts of the heart.

No wonder when Caden found out Lily was looking for her, he looked so nervously.

It turned out he was worried Lily might do something to her?

Ha!

So what should Caden do now?

Between his wife and his mother, he could only choose one!

Evelyn knew that Caden and James had a strained relationship.

However, Caden and Lily got along quite well.

Now, how should Caden choose?

If it were her, Evelyn felt she wouldn’t know what to choose either.

What right did she have to demand that Caden choose her?

After all, if it weren’t for Caden, she might have starved to death already.

At this moment, Caden walked into the bedroom, turned on the light, and brought in a tray of food.

“It’s time to eat.” Caden said softly, “I know you’re feeling down, but no matter what, you need to eat something. You can’t go hungry, understand?”

Evelyn’s eyes flickered, she opened her mouth, wanting to speak, but couldn’t utter a single word.

She didn’t know what to say to Caden.
