Semua Bab Trapped in Love: Bab 521 - Bab 530

Tyler shrugged. "I'm just being honest."Caroline glanced at the children, frustration written on her face. "Stay here and wait for me. I'll be back soon."The children nodded.Caroline loosened her grip on the children's hands and approached Paige. "Let's go inside first, Paige."Paige was nearly in tears. "I can't stand this place, Carol!"Caroline leered at Alex. "He should feel bad, not you."She turned away, not even looking at Evan.Evan watched their retreating figures while Alex's eyes remained fixed on Paige. Both wore pained expressions.After checking in, Caroline and Paige headed upstairs.However, the opening ceremony was in full swing downstairs, creating quite a racket.Paige collapsed on the bed and sobbed loudly. "Alex is a liar!"Caroline comforted Paige, stroking her back. "Maybe there's more to it than we think?""Why would that be?" Paige abruptly sat up, mascara streaking her face.The sight shocked the two children."That's hideous!" Tyler stared at

Evan smirked and remarked, "Your statuses have quite the contrast from the beginning. Although she may be carefree, she's still a woman, you know."Alex said, "You seem to have a good understanding of women..."Evan narrowed his eyes and asked, "What are you getting at?"Alex smiled mischievously and quipped, "Oh, nothing much, just that you couldn't land a date with Caroline either!"Evan's expression instantly tensed up. "Are you trying to get yourself in trouble, Alex?"Sensing the brewing tension, Alex quickly made a run for it.-Later that night, Paige stubbornly chose to stay in her room and sleep.Caroline took the children downstairs to the hot spring with no other options.After they changed into their swimwear, Caroline wrapped them in bath towels and walked out of the changing room.While keeping her head down to speak to the children, Caroline accidentally bumped into a man with glasses. She stumbled back a couple of steps, looked up at him, and apologized, "I'm

Suddenly, several video windows appeared on the screen.Tyler fixed the location at the southern restroom, setting the time to match when he bought his drink.Shortly after he left, he witnessed Caroline carrying Liora to the restroom.A slender figure wrapped in a bath towel entered the restroom not long after.Paige pointed at the person while staring at the surveillance footage. "That looks like a man!"Ignoring Paige, Tyler continued to watch the scene.Three minutes later, the man exited the restroom with Liora, covering her face. He calmly headed in another direction as if he had carefully planned his route.Tyler swiftly typed on the keyboard once more.In the next moment, the footage of the man carrying Liora appeared.Tyler glanced at the surroundings and directional signs before quickly dialing Evan's number.-Meanwhile, at the southern hot spring.Evan arrived at the scene and noticed several staff members and hotel medical personnel gathered around the restroom

Evan shot Alex a quick look. "Such a nosy guy."Feeling embarrassed, Alex rubbed his nose. "I need to ask and clarify things since this happened at my place, you know."Evan turned his attention to Liora, who was nestled in his arms, tears streaking her face. He gently stroked her forehead and recounted the incident to Alex."Fuck! Where did this scumbag come from?" Alex exclaimed, anger evident in his voice as he sat down beside Evan. "And why does she call you Daddy?""She's confused, mistaking me for someone else. Contact Neil," Evan replied with a hint of regret.Alex playfully nudged Evan's elbow. "You'd like her to be your daughter, huh? She's so cute, after all."Suddenly, Evan glared at Alex. "Could you please be quiet?"Unfazed, Alex persisted, "Could she really be your daughter, Evan? If she thought you were her father at first, why still later? We know she's quite smart for her age!"Evan's patience wore thin. "Just get Neil!""Trying to give away your daughter, huh

Liora had always enjoyed good health with very few instances of illness. However, last night's incident had left her with a high fever.Caroline couldn't fathom what had frightened Liora so much.Suddenly, Liora started talking in her sleep, saying, "Don't go, Daddy, don't leave me..."Caroline gently patted Liora's chest to comfort her, saying, "Don't be scared, Lia. I'm here."Liora's mood gradually calmed, possibly due to the reassurance in Caroline's voice.After seeing that Liora was comforted, Caroline sighed with relief. She pulled out her phone and opened her messaging app to contact Evan.She took a moment to compose her message.Caroline: [I'll find a way to thank you for what happened last night.]Evan promptly responded.Evan: [It's okay. Just take good care of the child.]Caroline: [These are two separate matters.]Evan: [Liora's situation is far from trivial. If you want to show your gratitude, how do you plan to do it?]Evan's response took Caroline aback. Sh
