    Chapter 185 I Don’t Think I’m Hiding


    Meanwhile, the music at the venue came to a halt.


    Amidst the silence, the email notification ringtone chimed


    Evan’s gaze fixed on Caroline and Kenny.


    Shortly after, Kenny retrieved his phone, swiftly ncing at Evan when he noticed the iing


    email


    Their eyes locked, and Kenny’s expression turned visibly anxious. He quickly put the phone in hist


    pocket, feigning nonchnce.


    Evan sneered and concluded that Kenny was G


    He won’t agree to my higher offer, so it seems he’s siding with Caroline. Why? Are you trying to


    prove your love only for Caroline despite the temptations? Evan pondered


    Evan lifted his ss and downed his drink.


    Observing the situation, Paige refilled Evan’s ss, ensuring her best friend remained out of


    trouble.


    In a yful tone, Paige instigated, “Drinking alone is no fun, Mr. Jordan. You should get Mr. Pierce


    to join you!”


    She was about to pour a drink for Alex as she spoke.


    Alex covered his ss swiftly. “Why don’t you drink with your employer then? Are you scared?”


    Paige’s lips twitched. “I don’t deserve to drink with my employer in view of my status. You’re his


    friend. Why won’t you drink with him?”


    “It seems that you’re sensible enough to know that Evan won’t drink with you. Hey, how about I


    drink with you then?” Alex was smiling in his eyes as he looked at Paige scornfully.


    His gaze looked like a provocation to Paige!


    Paige raised her voice and said, “Why are you looking at me like that?”


    “I’m not. Just tell me if you’d dare to drink with me.”

    Paige gnashed her teeth and braced herself.


    “Sure! I’m going to get you drunk tonight!”


    Caroline was rendered speechless. How did they end up drinking while in the middle of an argument?


    With a soft sigh, Caroline picked up her ss and strolled to the hotel’s backyard. She preferred the


    calm there, away from the crowd.


    Seated on a bench, she was ready to savor the moonlit night when a chilly sensation enveloped


    her.


    Instinctively, she turned her head and saw Evan approaching.


    Evan’s authoritative aura left Caroline flustered.


    Sheposed herself with great effort and was about to stand up when Evan said, “What are you


    hiding from?”


    Caroline said, “I don’t think I’m hiding.”


    Evan sat beside Caroline, crossed his long legs, and arrogantly said, “Don’t you want to know how


    the children are?”


    Caroline answered calmly, “Is there a point to ask? You’re the one who decides if you want to tell,


    right?

    Evan sneered “How can you consider yourself a mother when you don’t even ask about your


    children? What sets you apart from Danie?


    As soon as Danie’s name came up, Caroline was filled with fury, her gaze locked onto Evan’s


    face.


    “Who are you to criticize me? Why make me bring up the past and argue? What sets me apart from


    Danie?


    “If you hadn’t doubted my behavior without reason before, I wouldn’t be in this helpless situation


    now. And how are you any different when you don’t even know about Axel’s condition?”


    Evan’s expression turned solemn.


    The atmosphere was tense, and they stopped speaking.

    After a long while, Evan suppressed his anger and asked, “Why must we quarrel when we speak?”


    Caroline sneered. “Haven’t you noticed that you’re the one forcing me to speak to you like this?”
