Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby

Chapter 432 Fighting Fate

Charles left right after making dinner. He really left without a single extra word of explanation.

Caden realized it a beat too late. By the time he turned to chake after him,

Charles had already gone.

If Charles wanted to hide from Caden, there was no way Caden would ever find him.

Caden stood in the courtyard for a long, long time.

He had considered it before; if Charles wanted to return home, get married, and have children, he had no right to stop him.

After all, Charles was different from him. Caden was just a good-for-nothing punk, drifting through life with no ambition. But Charles wasn't. He had dreams, goals, and aspirations. He shouldn't be dragged down by him.

When Caden first met Charles, he didn't like him. This man was too dazzling. Even when he stood silently in the corner, he still stood out.

Caden couldn't help but be drawn to him. And yet, he resented that attraction. It made him want to bully him. But in the end, the one who always got the short end of the stick was himself.

At first, Caden doesn't understand what he feels for Charles. He only knows that he feels uncomfortable whenever a woman tries to get close to him.

He just felt that Charles should sit there, untouched and pure.

So from the very beginning, when Charles intentionally approached him, even though Caden knew he had an agenda, he still let his guard down on purpose.

"Charles, if you're really getting married. I wish you happiness."

Caden murmured softly, turning back into the living room.

At one point, he had let himself dream that he wouldn't have to worry about the legacy if he had a son. He could just spend the rest of his life with Charles, and honestly, that didn't sound so bad.

But thinking from Charles's perspective, it didn't seem fair. After all, Charles wouldn't have a son.

And Charles could never truly see his son as his own.

Hidden in the shadows, Charles watched as Caden walked back inside. Only then did he finally exhale and

turn away.

He wasn't sure if he would make it back alive. So, he decided not to leave behind any lingering hopes.

He didn't want Caden to end up like Kelly, waiting endlessly for Zev, not even knowing if he was dead or alive. That kind of torment was unbearable.

He couldn't bear to let Caden suffer like that.

Because Charles knew Caden. Caden wasn't even a tenth as strong as Kelly.

Caden would go crazy. He would lose control. He would make choices that would only hai

mself.

So Charles simply took away all his hope.

Before leaving, Charles went to see Kelly.

He handed her a wedding invitation with his name on it.

Charles said, "Kelly, if I don't make it back, just pick a random girl, write her name

on it, and give the invitation to Caden."

Charles knew Caden would give up if he received a wedding invitation.

Because Charles trusted Caden's love for him.

Kelly asked, "And if you come back alive, but Caden has already fallen for someone else? What will you do then?"

Kelly's greatest fear was that Caden would move on.

If Charles didn't return, she hoped Caden would move on as soon as possible.

But if Charles did come back and Caden had already moved on...

She had experienced that pain herself, holding onto love with all her heart, only to return home and find everything had changed.

That kind of heartbreak was unbearable.

"It doesn't matter. My feelings for him won't change."

Before leaving, Charles told Kelly that his feelings for Caden would never change.

Kelly watched Charles leave, then drove off to meet Shawn.

She had to meet Shawn in secret late at night, have coffee, and chat just to give the media something to write about so that Patrick could feel reassured.

After spending over an hour with Shawn, Kelly returned home.

The house felt empty. She was the only one there.

The butler locked the doors and went to bed, and the courtyard was eerily silent.noveldrama

Kelly sat on the bench outside, staring up at the sky.

She wondered if Zev could see the same sky from where he was.

She wondered if those people were torturing him and if he had enough to eat.

The next afternoon, Kelly went to work after giving herself the morning off to catch up on sleep.

She needed to make sure the baby in her belly was born safely.

This was her second child with Zev.

"Kelly."

Just as she stepped out of the car, someone called her name.

Kelly froze for a moment, then turned and walked toward the shadows. "Ken."

Ken nodded, glancing around cautiously before pulling her into a corner of the parking lot. "There are no cameras here."

Kelly nodded and approached. "Ken, what's going on?"

"Beau, he's essential. He can't die. Patrick is trying to blame everything on him. If he takes the fall, Patrick gets away scot-free." Ken's voice was filled with urgency.

His time spent spying on Patrick at Wagner Group hadn't been wasted. Kelly tensed. "Beau is in Patrick's hands. He'll be dead before we get to him."

"If Beau dies, you have to protect Clarissa. There needs to be a witness." Ken said, his voice urgent as he handed Kelly a piece of paper. "I suspect Beau is being held here. If you send someone to look, make sure it's foolproof. If it's discovered, Patrick will have him silenced before anyone can act."

If Beau died, the entire Lynches would be wiped out.

Clarissa had to die. Regina probably wouldn't be spared, either. Even though Beau had kept her in the dark to protect her.

But when everything'falls apart, no one stays untouched. Regina and Faye would all be in danger.

Kelly's heart clenched. Faye...

"Alright."

Ken glanced around again, ensuring no one was watching, then got in his car and

left.

Kelly got back in her own car and headed for Eric's house.

No matter what happened to Beau, she had to get Faye out first.

At Eric's house.

Dawn was feeding strawberries to Leo.

Faye came out of her room and saw Leo eating strawberries. She frowned. "Grandma, I want some too."

Dawn frowned in displeasure. "Leo is small. He needs them to grow. You don't need them. Strawberries are expensive, and we don't have any left."

Faye stormed into the kitchen, opened the fridge, and saw two whole boxes of strawberries. She grabbed

one to eat.

Dawn stormed over to snatch them away. "You greedy little thing! No man will want a girl who eats so much!"

Faye stood there, fuming, glaring at Leo, who was still munching on strawberries. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Without a second thought, she stormed over and slapp im hard on the

butt.

Leo, stunned by the sudden hit, looked up at Faye, then at Dawn, before holding

out the strawberries to Faye.

He had autism and still hadn't spoken a word, but he was kind-hearted.

And because of his condition, he hadn't been influenced by Dawn or Regina's worldview. He continued to live in his own little world.

When Dawn saw Faye slap Leo, she immediately rushed over and slapped Faye hard on the back. Faye burst into tears.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Dawn grumbled as she went to answer it, only to find Kelly standing at the door. She thought she'd opened the wrong one and tried again.

Kelly pushed past Dawn and entered the living room, spotting Faye standing there

crying.

"Kelly," Faye whimpered, running over to hug her.

"Grab whatever you want and come with me," Kelly said, ruffling Faye's hair.

Dawn scowled at Kelly. "What do you think you're doing? This is my house..."

Before she could finish, Kelly grabbed a fruit knife from the table and pointed it at her. "Shut up. I don't want to hear you talk."

Dawn immediately fell silent. Everyone knew better than to mess with someone who was unhinged, and Kelly seemed like just that to her.

Happy to be leaving, Faye ran to her room to grab her small backpack. Before leaving, she glanced at her brother. "Kelly, can I take Leo with us?"

Kelly glanced at the autistic boy, thought momentarily, and then nodded. "Take him with you."

Dawn panicked. "Where do you think you're taking Leo?"

"I already called Eric, and he agreed to let me take the kids. If you don't believe

me, you can call him and ask," Kelly said, tossing the knife onto the couch before leading both kids out.

In the most dangerous places, often lie the safest. Kelly wasn't entirely trusting of Gary, but she was planning to take Faye and the little one to his house, where she

hoped Connor would protect them.
