Trapped in Love

Chapter 787 Planning to Move In 

Neil: [Thank you, Axel.]

Axel: [Don’t mention it, Uncle Neil.]

Neil opened his laptop, and to his surprise, he found that Ryan had received a 400,000–dollar transaction just two days ago. Neil’s face contorted in anger as he gazed at the numbers.

“No matter how well you treat some people, they can’t resist the allure of money! If that’s the case, I’ll follow Draco’s plan and do what needs to be done tomorrow!” Neil exclaimed.

At 8:30 p.m., Caroline returned to Bayview Villa. She spotted Evan and Tyler in the living room, engaged in a game of chess, sitting across from each other.

Approaching them, Caroline asked, “Are you playing chess?”

Tyler glanced up, his face displaying displeasure. “Mommy, do you know how sly and cunning this man is?

Evan smirked. “Choosing to belittle when you can’t match someone’s skills? Your mom doesn’t support this bad habit.”

Caroline was surprised to be brought into the conversation suddenly.

Tyler quickly corrected himself, saying, “I misspoke. Let’s start over.”

Evan stood up and declared, “A man should keep his word. We agreed to just three rounds.”

Tyler clenched his fist. “Can’t you go easy on a boy more than two decades younger than you?”

Evan locked eyes with Tyler. “I can go easy on you, but will the world? You must learn to accept both success and failure, as that’s how your opportunities will grow.”

Caroline intervened, “Evan, you’re being too tough on Ty.”

“He’s not a child anymore. It’s time for him to learn about the harsh realities of the world,” Evan said.

Caroline chose not to argue with Evan. Instead, she knelt down and held Tyler’s hands. “Ty, it’s normal to lose a chess game when you’re new to it. You’re already remarkable for having talents others don’t. Let’s not rush things and take it slow, okay?”

The reluctance in Tyler’s eyes transformed into determination. “I’ll beat him one day, Mommy!”

Caroline sighed. “Ty, being overly competitive isn’t always a good thing.”

“This is how a man should bel” Evan chimed in just as Caroline’s voice faded.

Caroline was rendered speechless but understood that the two parents had different educational philosophies. It might be beneficial for Tyler and Axel to build resilience through Evan’s approach.

After getting the children to wash up, Caroline returned to her room.

Evan was already waiting on the sofa, dressed in a black bathrobe with a slightly open collar revealing his chest. His hair wasn’t fully dry, and water droplets trickled down from his hair to his chest, creating an alluring atmosphere in the room. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Caroline blushed and looked away. “Why did you bring your bathrobe?”

Evan shifted his gaze from his phone. “Why don’t you check your walk–in closet?”

Caroline was stunned and walked over to the closet. She saw a row of men’s attire, as well as watches and ties, on the glass shelf.

She was at a loss for words, thinking, ‘Is he planning to move his things here?

Closing the closet door, Caroline asked, “Are you planning to move in with me?”

Evan raised an eyebrow and looked at her with interest. “Don’t I get to stay in my woman’s house?”

Caroline approached him and questioned, “But you have your own place. Why do we need to live together?

Evan’s smile gradually faded. “Haven’t you considered us moving in together before?”
