Chapter 235 When Did It Start?
Just as the figure approached, the sensor light on Beatrice’s head suddenly went out.
“Ah!”
She screamed out loud, and to her surprise, the figure was also startled by her, almost losing balance and rolling down.
Just at that moment, the motion sensor light lit up again.
After seeing each other’s faces, the two of them were startled and simultaneously covered their instinctively wide–open mouths.
“Beatrice!”
“Audrey! You scared me!” Beatrice patted her chest.
Audrey leaned against the wall and said, “You scared me too. I thought it was just the echo of my footsteps.”
Beatrice smiled and pulled her upstairs, all the while listening to her complain about how the elevator never broke in the morning or evening, but chose to break down at this moment.
The two of them were engrossed in their conversation and didn’t notice the slight movement of the door downstairs.
Inside the door.
The man, pretending to be a resident, was well–trained and punched hard, showing no mercy even though the person standing in front of him was Caden.
The man, realizing that he couldn’t defeat Caden, cunningly pulled out a dagger from behind and launched a surprise attack.
Caden’s palm was cut, but he didn’t feel any pain. He turned around and grabbed the man’s neck, and in just one second, the man’s pupils widened and he fainted.
Caden looked down at the man on the ground, blood dripping from his fingertips.
“Mr. Caden.”
Keith hurriedly brought the people over and quickly handed over the handkerchief. Caden took the handkerchief and wiped away the bloodstains, coldly saying, “It’s a mercenary who only cares about money, but I took care of it.”
“Yes.”
Keith immediately waved his hand at the bodyguard behind him.
After the man was taken away, he anxiously looked at Caden.
“Mr. Caden, this is already the fifth time in the past half month, and it’s only twice this week. If this continues, he will definitely suspect you.”
I heard that Caden’s eyes gleamed with coldness.
After a moment of contemplation, he threw away the blood–stained cloth and said coldly, “It’s almost New Year, it’s time to liven up the Baldwin family.”
Keith understood: “Yes, I knew.”

After going back, Bella immediately walked out upon hearing the sound of the door opening. The smile on her face turned into horror when she saw the bloodstains on Caden’s hands. “Mr. Caden, what happened to your hand? Weren’t you supposed to go to the office to pick up something? How did you get injured?”
Bella held his hand, her eyes filled with tenderness.
Caden turned around and gently patted her hand back, as if to comfort her, saying, “Accidentally scratched, it’s no big deal.”
I will handle it for you, Bella said as she turned around to get the medicine box.
“No need, it’s too late. You go to sleep, I still have some documents to handle.” Caden turned around and walked towards the study.
Bella watched his back and bit her lip, even though he was truly gentler to her than to others, her heart always felt empty.
She gathered her courage and said, “Mr. Caden, I have decided to still stay in the master bedroom. We… aren’t we getting engaged and married soon?”
Her voice became smaller and her face turned red.
Caden stopped and turned his head slightly to look at her, “Hmm.”
Bella smirked and said, “Then I’ll wait for you.”
After saying that, she ran back to the master bedroom.
Bella looked at the immaculate wardrobe and tidied it up a little before hanging her own clothes.
“What hasn’t been tidied up yet that I can sleep in the guest room first? It looks doesn’t it?”
“Could he be… sorry?”
pretty clean,
Bella looked at the clothes placed side by side and reached out to take one of his pajamas, pressing it against her face. It had a light lavender scent.
She took a deep breath and couldn’t help but imagine her life after marriage with Caden. A moment later, she thought of something and went to the bathroom with Caden’s pajamas..
After Beatrice and Audrey climbed up the stairs, the elevator miraculously started working.
The two people stood
stood at the elevator entrance and argued for half a day. We had a glass of red wine together before we each went home to sleep. Beatrice thought that drinking alcohol would help her sleep, but as soon as she closed her eyes, she saw Caden’s superior face.
She rubbed her forehead, opened the bedside drawer, and took out a medicine bottle to pour out a pill.
This medicine was to stabilize her emotions after returning from
Norway.
As she was about to put it in her mouth, she remembered Brend’s reminder to take as little of the medicine as possible.

Finally, she put down the medicine and simply started playing with her phone.
opened my phone, the first post I saw was from Bella.
I didn’t expect that when I opened my phone,
She casually pinned up her hair, with wet strands hanging down, clearly indicating that she had just taken a shower.
And she was wearing Caden’s pajamas.
“Doesn’t it look like a child sneaked into the adult’s clothes? Hehe.”
Bella laughed so happily.
Beatrice looked at it, but her whole body felt hot because she had also worn that pajama set.
She suddenly stood. up and vigorously rubbed her skin until her arms, neck, and chest were all scratched and turned red.
She stopped only when she was in pain.
She looked at her hands blankly, with blood in between her fingers.
The next second, she swallowed the pill without hesitation and curled up under the blanket. It was not known how long it took for her to fall asleep under the influence of the medication. The next day, Beatrice woke up in pain and, upon looking in the mirror, realized that the scratches from last night had surprisingly not healed.
After all, she was a woman and was very worried about leaving scars, especially in such visible. places like her neck and arms.
So she made an appointment and went to the hospital.
After seeing the doctor, I was prescribed some ointment to treat and close the wound. As I was leaving, I happened to run into Brend.
“Beatrice, what did you come to the hospital for?”
“Nothing.”
Beatrice now deeply resented anyone associated with Caden.
After saying that, she turned around and walked away, but Brend followed after her. “What happened to your neck? Did you get into a fight with someone?” I heard that Beatrice just realized that she had forgotten to pull her collar back after the doctor examined her wound.
She nervously adjusted her collar, “It got scratched accidentally. I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first.”
“What
“Stop right there!” Brend blocked her again, and asked sternly, “When did it start?”
are you saying? I don’t understand, Beatrice pretended to
stay calm. Brend squinted his eyes and, taking advantage of her inattention, grabbed her hand and tugged at her sleeve.
He looked at the crisscrossed wounds on top, and his face darkened.
Ordinary people feel pain when scratching two wounds, let alone making them like this. “You still wanted to deceive me? Beatrice, what happened to you?”

Beatrice withdrew her hand, lowered her sleeve, and looked at Brend solemnly. “Dr. Goodman, please mind your own business! I said I’m fine. What? Are you going to tattle again?”
“Beatrice, don’t be like this,” Brend worriedly spoke up.
“What’s the matter with me, after all? Don’t you know it too? I suppose you received the invitation, didn’t you?” Beatrice retorted coldly.
“For the sake of both me and him, please let Dr. Goodman pretend to know nothing.”
Beatrice finished her harsh words and turned away.
Brend, looking at Beatrice’s noticeably thinner figure than before, anxiously took out his phone. The screen of the mobile phone displayed the WhatsApp message that Caden had sent three
minutes ago.
“The engagement
engagement banquet Was
held at the Baldwin family,
Baldwin family, don’t forget.”
Brend tightly pursed his lips and
and ultimately chose to respect Beatrice.
Beatrice tightly wrapped her scarf and left the hospital.
She thought since she was already out, she might as well buy more groceries and just stay at home. for the next few days.
Walking on the way to the market, suddenly there came the roar of a motorcycle from behind. As the end of the year approached, most of the workers in Chicago had returned to their hometowns, so the markets appeared somewhat deserted.
Beatrice didn’t even look back as she easily rode her motorcycle across this roads Until that sound made her heart skip a beat, she instinctively turned around and found the motorcycle coming straight towards her, crashing into her.
The front of the car lifted up, and the rapidly spinning tires came crashing towards her head….
