Slowly Falling into His Love Trap

Chapter 445: Pure Friendship Cannot Exist Between Men and Women

Logan Shaw clenched his fists tightly, wishing it were him lying on the operating table, becoming the man who captured Evelyn’s entire heart.

"He’ll be alright," Logan Shaw softly reassured, "Come, sit for a while. You’ll need to take care of him once he wakes up."

Seeing Logan Shaw, Evelyn instinctively kept a distance from him.

Because if Caden Lockwood saw her with Logan Shaw, he would definitely be angry.

Seeing the hurt expression on Logan Shaw’s face, Evelyn also felt guilty.

"I... I’m so sorry," Evelyn’s voice was very soft, "I was used by someone, so..."

Evelyn clenched her fists tightly, her face filled with nervous unease.

She felt that there were some things she had to clarify with Logan Shaw.

Otherwise, the longer things dragged on, the more entangled they would become.

Glancing at the door of the operating room, Evelyn told herself silently: Caden Lockwood would definitely come out safely!

Once he was out, she wanted everything resolved, so she could be his wife without any burdens.

Evelyn sat on a bench at the edge of the corridor, then looked at Logan Shaw, motioning for him to sit down too.

Logan Shaw, looking puzzled, sat beside Evelyn, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "What do you want to tell me?"

"That night, my loss of composure in front of you was actually... deliberately misled by L," Evelyn explained softly, "L must have known that I’ve always had feelings for the mysterious big brother who adopted me, so he tricked me, saying you were that big brother, trying to ruin my marriage with Caden."

Logan Shaw’s brow furrowed, as if he somewhat understood what Evelyn was saying.

"You remember, right? I asked you before if you were the big brother," Evelyn said quietly, "At that time, you said no. The night before last, I thought you were deliberately hiding it from me, not telling me your true identity, which is why I lost control of my emotions, not knowing what to do."

"So all of this is because... you mistakenly thought I was that... mysterious big brother?" Logan Shaw’s expression was quite unpleasant.

His dark eyebrows knitted together tightly, his usually gentle eyes filled with deep sadness, his usual arrogance now largely obscured.

Evelyn nodded.

"Could it be..." Logan Shaw’s lips curled into a very faint arc, not a smile, but a sign of sorrow.

After a pause, he asked again, "When you met me in the music room, gave me a coin, accompanied me to buy a bracelet, rushed into the fire to save me, were willing to be my friend, was all of this because you mistakenly believed I was your big brother?"

Listening to Logan Shaw’s question, Evelyn lowered her head, unsure of how to respond.

The truth was indeed like this.

But actually, she hadn’t fully confirmed he was the big brother back then either!

She was willing to be his friend because she genuinely felt at ease with him, they were friends who got along well.

But perhaps, in this world, there’s no room for pure friendship between men and women!

"So that’s how it is!" Logan Shaw’s face was filled with undisguisable disappointment and bitterness, "So that’s how it is! Hahaha—was I nothing more than a substitute for someone else?"

Logan Shaw was very jealous.

Jealous of whoever adopted Evelyn, making her love them so much.

Why!

Why was he always too late, both back then and now?

"I’m sorry!" Evelyn choked out, "I’m really sorry! I don’t know why I always act so foolishly! I can’t seem to solve anything properly, nor have I ever done anything that satisfied everyone! I... I..."
