Trapped in Love

Chapter 55 Family Portrait

As Caroline’s gaze fixated on Evan’s cold and elegant face, disturbing images of him and Daniella having sex flashed through her mind. The mixture of heartache and disgust overwhelmed her.

She swiftly raised her hand, slapping away his outstretched hand, unable to contain her mocking

tone. “What on earth did I do to provoke you, Evan?!”

Evan scoffed in response. “You presented me with a gift as soon as I returned from my trip.”

A gift… Caroline panicked. Daniella shouldn’t have divulged her pregnancy to him. It wouldn’t

bring her any advantage, after all. I have no idea what you’re talking about!”

She turned her gaze away, unable to meet his cold eyes.

Feeling guilty, are we?” Evan’s eyes turned even colder as he noticed the fear lingering deep

within her eyes. “You brought a man home and flirted with him, didn’t you?!”

Caroline couldn’t help but scoff at the recollection of Scott’s behavior outside Villa Rossa.

That was flirting?

What about what he did?

Anger surged within her, and she suddenly looked up, her voice rising. “Evan, is everyone, apart

from Daniella, repulsive to you?!”

“What about you? You touched me after sleeping with her. What was that about?!
