The speaker is Devin Powell, the President of the Powell Group.

Oscar's maternal uncle.

In Beatrice's memory, he was just

he was just as good of an elder as Jessie.

Beatrice was very concerned and showed great care for her.

the Powell family was in power, and Devin didn't even bother to hide the way cm, so straightforward that anyone could understand its meaning.

Beatrice felt a sudden chill down her spine.

Just thinking about what he had thought of when he looked at her before made her stomach churn.

Without waiting for her response, Devin had already reached out his hand to her. "Beatrice, you looked even more beautiful than before. Since we've met, let's have a meal together." Beatrice was thinking about how to refuse when she found herself holding a hot towel.

Caden coldly retorted, "Inconvenient."

Devin moved his cheek slightly and didn't bother to seek trouble.

"Okay. Anyway, there would be opportunities."

He looked at Beatrice and left with a smile.

Beatrice frowned, and at that moment, her phone vibrated.

It is Oscar's voice.

Beatrice didn't want to listen, but she accidentally pressed the wrong button when exiting the

chat box.

Suddenly, Oscar's heartfelt words echoed on the quiet dining table.

"Beatrice, my previous words still stand, as long as you nod, I will take you abroad to live."

When she hurriedly closed it, it was already too late.

Suddenly, the atmospheric pressure around

Beatrice dropped terrifyingly low.

She looked up at Caden, who was just drinking tea with an expressionless face, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Well, he didn't really care about her either.

Who did she walk with and what was her relationship with him?

Ate the meal silently.

Beatrice got up and was about to hail a taxi to go back home. Just as she took a step, the man behind her suddenly picked her up and carried her towards the exit of the restaurant. The atmosphere around her seemed calm, as if the calmness before the arrival of a mountain

rain.

On the way to the parking lot, Beatrice struggled to get off.

"Put me down! People will see!"

Suddenly, there was a loud bang.

She was firmly slapped on the buttocks, and her cheeks turned red without hesitation.

Caden raised an eyebrow and smirked coolly, "Being honest? Not eloping with someone?"

"It wasn't an elopement!" Beatrice retorted.

with him?"

Beatrice bit her lip, unsure of how to retort.

Because saying so is not wrong.

Caden's ink-black pupils slightly darkened, obscure and unclear, as he accompanied her into the car and they drove off. Throughout the journey, neither of them said much. Returned to the apartment.

Beatrice looked at the man at the door, pinched the doorknob, and dared not look at him.

"Uncle Caden, it's late. I need to rest, so you should go back."

Caden leaned against the door and effortlessly squeezed into the house.

He looked at her calmly, with a hint of coldness at the corner of his lips, and asked, "Why don't you answer?"

Beatrice's eyes widened slightly, and she remained stunned for a while before realizing what he had asked.

Did you leave with Oscar?

He actually remembered.

Beatrice's heart skipped a beat, her lips tightly pursed, unable to fathom his thoughts.

A shadow fell over her head, and she snapped back to reality, wanting to step back, but Caden gently held onto her waist.

As his breath approached, she was startled, her body shaking, and her previously bent legs had nowhere to rest.

Just before touching the ground, Caden probed her foot and firmly placed her sole on his shoe.

Immediately, her whole being was captured by him.

It seems that he won't leave without an explanation.

Beatrice became angry and blurted out, "It was me who said it. I wanted to leave..."

Before the words could even be spoken, they were interrupted by a man.

He forcefully sealed her lips.

I don't know how long it took, but the gentle kisses finally moved away from her lips.

He squinted his eyes and said hoarsely, "Do you still want to leave?"

"Leave..." Beatrice gasped, struggling to form a complete sentence, "Why do you have the right to interfere with me? What does it matter to Uncle Caden who I leave with?"

Suddenly, a strong hand firmly gripped her from behind, rendering her resistance futile. His eyebrows drooped slightly, and his deep, dark eyes shimmered with a mysterious ripple. "What relationship did you say you have with me?" His fingers ran through her hair, carrying a faint hint of tenderness.

Beatrice clenched her fist, remained silent, and her body temperature decreased instead of

""You couldn't."

tense all over, her spine trembling slightly, he was threatening her. He knew that her mother was in the Baldwin family!

However, the next second, a light kiss fell, lacking dominance and possession, just a gentle touch. When she was stunned, the man's fingers hooked the chain around her neck. The olive branch swayed between the two individuals. Lush green.

He repeated, "You wouldn't."

Beatrice reached out to grab it, but he dodged her with a feint.

She stubbornly said, "I forgot to take it down."

"Um."

He didn't ask any further and lifted her horizontally, placing her on the sofa, then took the medicine bag.

"Brend said to change the medicine again before going to bed."

"I'll do it myself," Beatrice reached out her hand.

"Don't move."

Caden pushed her hand away and lifted her foot, placing it Beatrice sat still, afraid to move, and stared blankly as the man in front of her lowered his head to untie her bandage.

After applying medication, the abrasion had already stopped bleeding, but the ankle was still a little swollen, although it was not as red as it was in the afternoon.

Caden gave her the medicine again, wrapped her with new gauze, and then wrapped another layer of plastic wrap.

Beatrice limped her way to the bathroom.

When she finished taking a shower, she found out that Caden was actually sleeping on the couch.

She approached to wake him up, but seeing that he was sleeping with a frown on his face, she raised her hand and then put it back down.

Finally, a silk quilt was found from the room and covered him.

Beatrice stood beside, watching the man huddled on the sofa with a look of grievance. Her expression was slightly less cold and stern, calm and peaceful, completely different from her usual demeanor. She sighed and turned back to the room.

Behind him, Caden slowly opened his eyes.
