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 relationship 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?

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.
Caroline advised, “Take your time to think this through, Paige.”
Paige nodded. ‘I have, and I need to move on from this discomfort.”

Caroline lacked 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 contemplated 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 to lack of trust and Daniella. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
