Instead of answering, Caroline kept Jude guessing. She lifted a wine glass and clinked it several times.
The room fell silent. Everyone turned to look at Caroline.
Caroline dragged herself to the stage despite her injured foot. She said into the microphone, “Everyone, I would like to use the opportunity of Grandpa’s birthday to announce some good news.”
As she said this, she shot a glance at Eddy.
Everyone in the audience noticed this action. They got the message immediately. Excited, they encouraged Caroline to make her announcement. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
The people who’d be affected by the marriage each wore a different expression. In the lounge, Kirk’s face was as black as thunder as he watched the surveillance footage.
He felt close to losing his cool.
“This matter is very important to me.” Caroline smiled warmly. It looked as though she was thinking about the past. “I’ve been waiting for this day ever since I was a little girl. I even thought I wouldn’t make it to this day. But it’s here now! I have someone to thank
Caroline once again looked over at Eddy.
When Kirk saw this, he tightened his fists. His knuckles were white.
“He showed me that the world is a warm place. He showed me that kindness doesn’t always have an ulterior motive. He’s like a light, brightening up my life
The crowd was touched by her honest confession. Even Eddy was affected by her words. Even if he knew that Caroline was only exaggerating…
The next second, Eddy’s eyes narrowed. He looked at Kirk, who’d appeared on stage. He was wearing a dark expression.

Eddy could feel the look cut him.
Kirk was standing in a secluded spot. Besides, everyone was focusing on Caroline. Thus, no one noticed him there.
His gaze was cold. He walked slowly toward Caroline, who was bathed in light. It was like darkness trying to consume a flame.
Eddy was taken aback. He wanted to shout for Kirk to stop, but he couldn’t even manage a word. Not a sound came from his mouth.
Caroline saw that Kirk was almost out of the shadows and would be revealed to everyone soon. Her tone changed completely. “To me, he’s very, very important. So I think it’s unfair and cruel to him that I keep some things unsaid.”
Caroline paused. She smiled with all her might. “What I want to announce today is=”
Everyone held their breath.
From their table at the back, Sarah and Dan eagerly anticipated what was coming.
Sitting in her wheelchair, Layla had a cruel and confident smile.
Caroline’s gaze traveled over everyone’s faces. She memorized each of their expressions.
When she looked away, she found Kirk standing to the side. She was stunned, but she shot him a dazzling smile.
That look shocked Kirk with its beauty.
Then, Caroline said, “We’re already married. And he’s not Eddy Morrison!”
