Chapter 81 You’re Lying
Caroline observed silently as Daniella put on her act, her gaze fixated on Evan as he approached. Can
I go up now, or do I need the madam of the house’s permission?” she asked bitterly, causing a
frown to appear on his face.
“Can’t you speak properly?” he questioned, a single sentence that instantly drained the color from
Daniella’s face. How could she not understand what he meant? Who was Caroline to treat him
rudely? And why was she even here?
Caroline sensed the drastic change in Daniella’s expression and couldn’t help but feel a sense of
satisfaction. With a cold and composed demeanor, she said, “Of course I can. I’ll go up and pack now.”
And with that, she headed toward the stairs
However, after taking just two steps, she suddenly stumbled and fell. Instinctively, she protected. her
belly and frowned, enduring the pain in her knees.
The commotion on the stairs caught Evan’s attention, and his face darkened as he witnessed her
fall.
Hurrying over, he swiftly lifted her up, his eyes fixed on her reddened knees. He exclaimed, “Are you
blind? How could you fall on the stairs you’ve been using for years?”
Caroline retracted her hand and replied, “Thank you. I felt a little dizzy, but I’m okay now.” She could
act just as well as Daniella; she would shamelessly play her part as long as she could stay.
Evan’s brow furrowed, and he asked softly, “What’s wrong?”

Her response was icy, “I’m fine!” She then released her arm from his grip, limping up the stairs while
holding onto the railing.
His expression turned stiff. After a moment of silence, he followed her up and scooped her into his
arms. Daniella, who witnessed this, felt a surge of rage. Why was this bitch seeking sympathy?
She caught up to them and seethed as she watched Evan carry Caroline into his bedroom. Her eyes
filled with poisonous resentment. She had never set foot in his room since she moved here. Once Evan
had placed Caroline on the bed, he retrieved his phone to call the family doctor. After hanging up, he
stared at her coldly and remarked, “I thought someone was taking care of you. Why
are you so skinny?”
She was speechless.
Who was being sarcastic right now?
She sat up straight and changed the topic. “This is inappropriate, Evan. Your fiancee is out there.”

“I’m not planning to marry her just yet!” He removed his tie in irritation.
What did it matter to Caroline whether he was getting married or not? She wanted to leave once she
had gathered the evidence; she wasn’t in the mood to discuss his impending marriage.
Nevertheless, in order to buy more time, she replied in a flat tone, “But she’s pregnant with your
child.”
“We’ll see after the child is born,” he responded with a harsh tone, clearly unwilling to delve further into
the topic.
“So, what did you come here to retrieve before returning?” he asked, his voice deep and commanding.
She offered the excuse she had concocted, “Just some knick–knacks. The box was too small, so my
things couldn’t fit.”
Taking a seat on the leather sofa, he casually picked up a finance magazine, not bothering to look
Without missing a beat, he continued, “Why didn’t you stay at the place I bought for you?”
Caroline was speechless. Was he suddenly initiating a conversation? He had never spoken about.
such things with her before.
“Wouldn’t I have to look for my own place anyway if you take it back when you’re upset?” Caroline
couldn’t resist being sarcastic.
He scoffed in response. “You’re lying, Caroline.”
“Well, what if I am?” She looked at him, her lips pursed with a hint of mockery in her eyes. “You
wouldn’t believe me anyway, would you?”
He squinted at her but remained silent.
An awkward silence enveloped the bedroom, only broken when the family doctor arrived
After conducting a simple test on Caroline, the doctor informed Evan, “Ms. Shenton has always been
malnourished; she remains the same. She needs to adjust her food intake and avoid exhausting

Caroline was left speechless. The doctor’s words hit home. She knew she hadn’t been eating properly
recently. Busy as she was, she often forgot to take care of her own meals.
Evan’s expression darkened as he nodded. “Understood. You may leave.”
Once the doctor departed, Caroline pretended to get off the bed. However, she was met with a stern
glare from Evan.
“Lie back down!” he commanded. 1

If she were too obedient, it would seem contrived. Aware of that, she willfully disregarded his
order and stepped off the bed. “Do you need a hug?” she asked, looking up at him.
His face turned grim.
“Evan, do you enjoy seeing people call me a mistress?” Caroline looked at him squarely.
Evan abruptly rose from his chair. ‘T’ll sleep in your old bedroom. Stay here and rest if you don’t
want to die!”
He headed toward the bedroom, pausing briefly after opening the door. In a lowered voice, he added, “I
won’t touch you.“*
She was stunned to hear that.
Was he saying that to comfort her? Or was it because Daniella was present?
