Trapped in Love

Chapter 788 Are You Asleep? 

“I wouldn’t put it that way.”

Caroline felt uneasy about moving in together so suddenly. She moved closer to Evan and sat down. “It seems like we’re rushing things. Most people take it step by step in their relationships. Are we skipping steps just because we have children?”

“Is this your opinion, or are you worried it might make the kids uncomfortable?” Evan asked. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Caroline hesitated. “I think you can handle talking to the kids, but I-”

Before she could finish her sentence, Evan pulled her close in a tight embrace.

“Caroline, I just don’t want to be far from you. I’m afraid of losing you again,” Evan said in a deep voice, his fast heartbeat echoing in the hug.

Despite her initial reluctance to move in together, Caroline could feel Evan’s uneasiness, and she found herself becoming more accepting.

Caroline smiled. “I understand. I won’t ask you to leave.”

Just then, the bedroom door suddenly swung open, and Kenny barged in, interrupting the intimate moment.

Caroline pulled away from Evan, feeling utterly embarrassed.

Evan’s expression turned solemn as he glared at Kenny. “Could you knock first?”

Kenny stared at them in shock. “G! Were you guys about to take the next step? Did I interrupt something?”

“No. Why the sudden visit?” Caroline said.

Kenny showed the food in his hand. “I brought some supper to share. I didn’t know Evan was here.”

Caroline blushed. “It’s fine. You can have it yourself.”

Kenny nodded and quickly closed the door.

Evan looked displeased. “I think you should ask Kenny to find another place to stay.”

“He’s not usually like this. I’m sure he has something to discuss with me but can’t say it with you here,” she said.

“What if you were changing earlier? He might have seen everything.” Evan’s tone turned cold and jealous.

“I’ll remind him about privacy. But he’s been a big help with the kids when I’m busy,” Caroline replied.

Evan looked tense. ‘If this happens again, I won’t hesitate to pack his bags and ask him to leave.”

“Whose house is this, anyway? she wondered.

Outside, Kenny sighed and felt a sense of loneliness. He realized that his enjoyable dinner times with Caroline might be over now that Evan had moved in.

“Who will I share my meals with now? It’s too much for one person,‘ he thought.

Kenny noticed that Tyler and Axel’s bedroom lights were still on. He walked over and softly knocked on the door. “Hey, Ty, Axel, are you guys asleep?”

Soft footsteps came from inside, and Tyler opened the door. Kenny could see the three children looking at him with lively eyes.

Kenny suppressed a smile and entered the room. He chuckled and whispered, “You guys are staying up late behind your mom’s back!”

Liora shushed him. “Don’t make noise, Uncle Kenny!”

Kenny nodded. “Alright, I get it. Come on, let’s share my supper.”

The three children and Kenny gathered around a small table.

Kenny glanced at the two laptops that were on and asked, “Ty, Axel, are you working on the laptops again?
