Chapter 53 Memory Disrupted?
The Baldwin’s mansion.
Beatrice fell into a deep sleep as soon as she came back.
Finally, she was awakened by hunger, and she had difficulty moving. She shouted towards the
door.
“Mom?”
“Ryan?”
No one responded to her, so she thought her voice was too soft and Monica and Ryan didn’t hear

raised my hand to grab my phone when I noticed the paper left on the bedside table.
“I accompanied Ryan to a social event and prepared some snacks for you. If you get hungry, you
can eat them.”
Open the plate, there were three small desserts.
Monica truly believed that she ate very little.
Three small pastries, Beatrice finished eating in two bites, but her stomach was still growling with hunger.
She had no choice but to pick up the landline phone on the bedside table and call the kitchen.
“Auntie, is there anything else to eat?”
“The chef finished work.” The maid spoke lightly and yawned, indicating that she was going to sleep.
“Um.”
After hanging up the phone, Beatrice mocked herself for her unnecessary actions,
The Baldwin family’s servants never paid her any attention, so how could they have prepared food for her in the middle of the night?
Unable to do anything else, she had to prop herself up and make her way to the kitchen. Just as she took a couple of steps, a sudden pain shot through her foot, causing her to fall directly to the ground.
Subconsciously, both arms hit the wound that had been scratched by a tree branch.
“Hiss…”
Beatrice winced in pain, but she still managed to stand up.
When people are hungry, they really have an obsession and must eat something.
She blew on the wound on her forearm and limped out of the yard.
The Baldwin’s mansion was composed of different courtyards, with gardens, plants, and corridors interspersed in between.
Even in the late night, with the moon shining faintly and stars sparsely scattered, the scenery remains picturesque under each street lamp.
Beatrice walked hesitantly and entered the nearby kitchen.

The entire kitchen fell into silence, and the sound of the wind blowing the window curtains came from behind.
Hush… Hush…
A voice came through.
“You reflect on yourself properly, I will have the nanny take care of our daughter‘ “Mr. Caden, don’t! Stella has been under my care since she was little, she can’t be separated from her mother!”
So, you knew all along that you couldn’t live without your mother, why did you go and hurt someone else’s child?”
“I didn’t! How many times do I have to say it, I didn’t!”
“Someone who used a trick to get pregnant and force me into marriage, do you think I would believe your explanation? Caleb is unconscious in the hospital, and you have been staying here for the past two days.”
With a loud bang, the door was forcefully locked, and the entire room plunged into darkness. The air vent blew the thin curtains, making a rustling sound.
It felt like a blunt knife cutting into Beatrice’s heart.
There was Stella’s crying outside the door.
“I want my mom! I want my mom!”
“No crying allowed!”
Listening to the child’s

cries, she still
compromised.
“I was wrong! I was wrong! I reflect! Please spare the child! I beg you!” The sound of rushing water continued, and Beatrice, as if by reflex, dropped the eggs in her hand and covered her head, saying, “Ah! Don’t come over…”
Suddenly, a hand embraced her trembling body tightly, pressing it against the best. She instinctively pounded with force, while the man silently endused.
“It was me.”
Caden.
The blowing gauze curtain flew up behind him, instantly sprinkling a patch of moonlight, the soft halo fell on the man’s tall and proud figure without any contradiction.
Shrouded in a misty haze, his gaze was indiscernible.
Beatrice could faintly feel his lips twitched.
She moved her lips and was about to speak when he covered her mouth with his hand and his face came closer.
His handsome face was profound, and his ink–black eyes under the moonlight seemed like

bottomless abysses, even emanating a hint of invasion and danger.
Beatrice forcefully pulled his hand, but he remained unmoved.
She glared at him and bit down on his finger as Soon as she opened her mouth. Caden just furrowed his brow and did not let go of her.
At that moment, two sets of footsteps could be heard coming from the corridor outside.
“Who is it?”
“Could it be the second wife who came to steal things? She just called asking for food, in the middle of the night, without considering her own share. Is she deserving?”
Stealing?
This is Beatrice’s long–standing position in the Baldwin family.
She didn’t deserve anything from the Baldwin family; taking it would be stealing.
Her teeth loosened, and she lowered her gaze to avoid his gaze, but still felt extremely embarrassed.
Seeing the servant approaching, Beatrice quickly snapped back to reality and gestured for Caden to let go of her.
Caden, however, turned her around and pressed her against the countertop. In her panic, he leaned in slightly, his face against the moonlight, thrilling and heart–stopping.
He didn’t even look outside the door and spoke slowly, “It’s me. The light is broken. Get someone to take a look, no need to come over.”
The voices outside immediately became respectful, Yes, Mr. Caden.”
In a short while, the light turned on.
The man’s face in front of her became instantly clear, and every breath he took brushed against Beatrice’s skin.
He did not hurry to let go of her, his gaze swept over her, and finally landed on her scratched
wrist.
“Does it still hurt?”
“Uh uh! Uh uh uh!” It didn’t hurt! Let of me!
go
Watching the excited Beatrice, Caden’s dark eyes flickered, and he moved his hand away from her mouth.
Two rows of deep teeth marks appeared prominently in the middle, connecting the palm.
He waved his hand and casually said, “How many times have you bitten? Have you changed to being a dog?”
Beatrice snorted coldly, arrogantly refusing to answer, using her attitude to tell him that he dared to bite again next time.
Caden wiped his hands, stretched his long arms, and leaned on the countertop as he looked at her.“Hungry?”
Beatrice still remained silent.
She was well aware of her injured self and found it extremely difficult to leave under Caden’s

watchful eyes, so she simply didn’t waste her energy.
While she was deep in thought, her body suddenly levitated and was placed by Caden on the
countertop.
She lifted her eyelids slightly, and Caden was standing in front of her, taking off his clothes. As he raised his hand, his tense chest and tight waistline burst out under the depiction of the black shirt.
Beatrice hesitated for a moment, then immediately raised her hand in preparation to resist.
But the next second, she had an extra coat on her body, and the residual body temperature on the clothes instantly gave warmth to her cold back.
She looked at Caden in confusion, only to see him unbutton his cuffs and roll up his sleeves, and then… he squatted down and cleaned up the broken eggs she had smashed. Hmmediately, she took the ingredients out of the refrigerator again.
He asked Beatrice casually, “Do you eat shrimp paste?”

and she instinctively said, “Eat.” Caden stood in front of the stove, boiling water and cooking pasta. He also added shrimp paste and lettuce.
As Beatrice watched him lower his head and stir the pasta with a fork, she thought she was dreaming.
My head even started to ache a little..
In her previous life, Madelynn boasted that Caden couldn’t cook and her favorite thing to eat was the home–cooked meals she made.
And Beatrice made a table full of dishes, but he finished eating and told her not to make them again in the future.
The man in front of me moved so skillfully that he didn’t seem like someone who couldn’t cook
