When Love Turns to Ashes (Beatrice and Caden) novel Chapter 53

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 wall customized refrigerator cabinet had marry precious ingedums, have the kerk her place well, so she only took one egg 

and 

Just as I was about to crack the eggs, the light above my head made a sizing under h 

went out. 

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 

heart–wrenching 

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!

Watching the excited Beatrice, Caden’s dark eyes flickered, and he moved his hand away from her mouth.
