    Chapter 559 Scene From a Novel


    Evan clenched his fists and took a deep breath, trying to hide his painful emotions.


    “I don’t mind if you hide or lie to me. All that matters is your survival, Caroline,” Evan said weakly.


    Caroline was stunned. She looked at him incredulously and asked, “Then why did you question me


    about


    the children?”


    “I just want answers about the children’s father now that I know you were never in a rtionship with


    Neil,


    “Evan replied.


    He couldn’t ignore Caroline’s strong emotional reaction to the topic. Even so, he didn’t want to press


    Caroline further. The children’s parentage was less important than Caroline’s well–being to him.


    Caroline looked away, unable to meet Evan’s bitter gaze. She felt conflicted and guilty. She was


    denying


    her children a father’s love to maintain custody.


    She closed her eyes until her tears were spent, creating a heavy atmosphere in the room.


    Evan turned to Caroline, his expression softening. “Caroline, how can I make you trust me and stop


    being


    so hostile?”


    Caroline bit her lip and said, “I don’t know.”


    I’ll


    Evan’s disappointment was evident. “In that case, I’ll find my own way to break down your defenses.”


    Caroline was taken aback. Was he trying to reconcile with her?


    Before she could ask, Evan had left the room.


    Shortly after Evan’s departure, Paige entered the room with swollen eyes. She wiped her tears away


    and asked, “Are you awake, Carol? Have you had any soup?”


    Caroline studied Paige’s eyes and asked, “Have you been crying?”


    Paige sniffled and sat beside Caroline. “I’m fine.”


    Caroline noted, “Your voice sounds dull. Don’t make me worry.”


    Paige burst into tears. “Alex and I broke up. Carol.”


    Paige tearfully recounted her conversation with Alex to Caroline.

    Carolinecked the strength to persuade her further. “Alright. I support your decision.”


    Paige wiped her tears away and scanned the room. “Where’s Evan?”


    Caroline was surprised. “Didn’t you see him leave?”


    Paige shook her head.


    Caroline shared, “He told me something.”


    As Paige ordered food delivery on her phone, she asked, “What did he say?”


    Caroline revealed, “He mentioned using his own method to break down my defenses.


    Paige looked shocked. “Is he pursuing you again now that he knows about you and Neil? This feels like


    something out of a novel.”


    Caroline replied, “You’re being overly dramatic.”


    Paige suggested, “If he’s willing to change and reconcile with you, consider it, Carol. After all, you have


    three children together.”


    Caroline contemted deeply.


    “Can he change his habit of distrusting people? Can he truly trust me?” she wondered.


    Paige added, “Remember, most of your past misunderstandings were due tock of trust and Danie.


    Evan has been living a virtuous life!”
