Once Brend and Keyon had a quarrel, the previously ambiguous atmosphere in the car disappeared completely. Even if Odin goes through the same process again, Beatrice is now filled with carp in her mind.
Fortunately, Odin was a considerate person and he smiled to defuse the awkwardness.
“Are you feeling better now?”
“Um.”
Beatrice couldn’t help but find it somewhat laughable, even to the point of tears.
When they reached downstairs, Odin received a work call and didn’t accompany Beatrice upstairs.
On the road, Keyon glanced at Odin through the rearview mirror.
“Sir, Brend’s phone call was clearly intentional. If you really want to settle the score, you should have called me instead. Most likely, Mr. Caden is behind all this mischief. Why don’t you explain it to Ms. Lindsey?”
Odin’s expression was calm as he said, “Did you think Beatrice didn’t know? Sometimes, treating something as a joke and letting it pass is also a way of letting oneself go.”
“Oh. No… Am I a joke?” Keyon said discontentedly.
Odin glanced at him and gave him a look, you figure it out yourself.
Keyon obediently closed his mouth and drove attentively.
Beatrice returned home and just as she was about to close the door, a hand blocked it.
The shiny wedding ring had already revealed the other person’s identity and was also reminding her.
She forcefully closed the door and leaned her whole body against the door.
The man outside the door hesitated and knocked twice.
“Open the door for a moment.”
The man’s voice tightened, becoming particularly elusive compared to his usual indifference.
Beatrice didn’t speak and looked up at the ceiling.
The mood, which I thought I had adjusted well, fluctuated instantly.
She felt suffocated, as if the same whirlpool kept spinning and spinning.
Even though she tightly held onto the lifeline and climbed upwards, she still felt uncomfortable.
She held her breath, and could even hear the man’s deep breathing through the door panel.
Beatrice snapped back to her senses and hurriedly tried to escape from here. As she lifted her foot to walk towards the room, her hand accidentally hit the doorknob.
The pain spread through her limbs and body in an instant, and she let out a low cry.
The man outside the door immediately knocked on it.
“Beatrice, what happened to you?”
Beatrice covered her hands and squatted on the ground, with no time to answer the people outside.
She also didn’t want to answer.
A few seconds later, there was no sound outside the door.

Suddenly, the door made a loud noise.

The lock on the door was immediately smashed, and the door shook twice before it was forcefully pushed open.
Outside the door, Caden held a fire extinguisher from the hallway in one hand and a paper bag in the other, with a cold and even somewhat anxious expression.
Without waiting for Beatrice’s reaction, Caden threw the fire extinguisher and lifted her up by the waist. He seemed to have lost his sanity, his eyes turning crimson, and he said fiercely, “Why aren’t you speaking?”
Beatrice was scared by him and couldn’t speak for a long time.
Caden took a deep breath, his eyes darkened, and he lowered his voice, ‘Where did you get hurt?”
“You let go of me! It hurts!”
Beatrice felt like he was about to break her waist.
What made her even more angry was that he always intruded into other people’s lives as he pleased!
And then it became a mess, and finally left gracefully.
She resisted desperately, even raising her injured hand and smashing it.

“You don’t have to worry about it!” Beatrice tried to pull her hand out, but she couldn’t pull it out no matter how hard she tried. Caden looked at the slightly bloodstained gauze and furrowed his brow, saying, “The wound is bleeding, let me rebandage it for you.”
“No need.” Beatrice went to break his hand.
Caden looked at her helplessly and said, “Once the bandage is done, I will leave. Otherwise, we will just waste time here.”

Caden slammed the door with such a loud noise that the people downstairs must have heard it. Last time, he even called the police, saying that someone was shooting here.
She really didn’t want to be visited by the police again.
Without waiting for her to speak, Caden had already understood her thoughts and guided her towards the inside.
“Let’s go.”
Beatrice could only follow him into the living room.
Caden familiarly retrieved the medicine box from under the TV cabinet and had just sat down when Beatrice moved to the side.
He searched for the medicine while saying in a low voice, “Just leave your hand with me, go for a walk downstairs and come back up later.”
Beatrice heard the irony and could only move her body, extending her hand.
Caden unwrapped the gauze and, upon seeing the wound, his face turned cold. “How could there be a tear?”
Beatrice couldn’t fathom his thoughts for a moment.
He clearly knew everything, why was he pretending here?
She sneered, “She fell herself.”

head and continued to tend to the wound.
In a daze, she once again collided with the man’s gaze, those deep and restrained ink–black eyes, making her involuntarily flustered.
When she came to her senses, his face was already within reach.
Our gazes met, as if something fell onto her chest, thread by thread like raindrops, flake by flake like snow, gently, slowly.
Even his perennially quiet eyes were stirred a little.
His eyelashes drooped slightly, his voice low, with a hint of breathiness: “Don’t be with him, okay?”
Beatrice was startled.
Was he… begging her?
How is it possible?
She had been deceived by him too many times, she wouldn’t be fooled again.
Beatrice paused for a moment, her chest filled with tangled emotions, but in the end, she managed to suppress them with reason.
“Mr. Caden, is my hand better now? Don’t forget what you just said.”
A hint of dimness crossed Caden’s eyes: “Hmm.”

“Eat it while it’s hot.”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Beatrice glanced at the paper bag and called out to him.
Caden immediately turned around and looked at her.
Beatrice said coldly, “I will send you the bill for the fire extinguisher and door repair.”
“Okay.”
Caden squinted his eyes and turned around, then walked away.
Beatrice glanced at the rickety door lock and asked Audrey for the phone number of the recent lock purchase. After confirming the model with the other party, she finally noticed the bag on the coffee table.
I opened the bag and inside was a steaming hot glue pudding.
Beatrice, however, found it laughable that she was being treated as someone who could be easily appeased with a few glue puddings.
She turned around and threw the glue puddings together with the bag into the trash can.
Caden went downstairs and Keith, standing next to the car, opened the door for him. Keith knew from Caden’s gloomy expression that Beatrice had once again managed to anger him.

“Is Ms. Lindsey still angry? Ms. Soder’s condition cannot be delayed, we can only save her first. Didn’t Dr. Goodman say that Ms. Lindsey only had minor injuries?”

Half an hour later, the surveillance footage was transmitted to the tablet in Caden’s hands. After he finished reading it, his eyes were filled with terror.
“Returned to the Baldwin family.”
