Chapter 64

aroline’s heart skipped a beat when Kirk looked at her that way. She angled her head to one side to escape his gaze. “Did you hear everything Grandpa said?”

Kirk stared at Caroline quietly.

*If you don’t want to see him, I can cancel it.”

Caroline gripped the edge of her clothes in nervousness. Jude was really important to her. He was the closest family she had in this world. If she could get Jude’s blessing …

“Do you want me to go?” There was a complicated look in Kirk’s eyes. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Caroline lowered her head. Red traveled up her pale neck. “Yes …”

Her voice was soft and moving.

Kirk swallowed. He reached out to brush her hair behind her ear. “Really?”

Kirk’s husky voice was seductive.

Caroline’s face was red as a tomato now. Her heart was beating wildly in her chest, and she was so nervous that her body was tightly wound. She was afraid that Kirk could hear the pounding of her heart.

“Of …”

Before she could finish speaking, Kirk kissed her. He was in such a frenzy that Caroline’s lips quickly became red and swollen.

“Kirk …”

Kirk’s knuckles turned white. The desire he had been resisting all night was bursting forth now. A ripping sound rang out.

Even though she seemed skinny, her figure was full under her clothes. She was slim but had generous curves. Kirk’s gaze was possessive. It made Caroline go red. She wanted to cover herself, but Kirk held her back.

Kirk seemed to notice Caroline’s awkwardness. He bent over and kissed her collarbones, “You’re so beautiful.”

With this kiss, he could hold back no longer. It was as if he’d tasted the sweetest fruit and couldn’t stop until he’d devoured it, Caroline couldn’t resist either, and her gaze clouded over.

Suddenly, Caroline felt a stinging pain, bringing her back down to earth. She gave a shrill cry from the pain in her ankle,

Kirk restrained himself despite his lust. He asked, worried, “What is it?”

“My ankle hurts …”

Although the desire was about to consume him, Kirk got up. “Where does it hurt?”

“Where I twisted my ankle. I think I have a cramp.”

Kirk took a deep break. He applied some medication to Caroline’s ankle and rubbed it in.

As he did, Caroline kept stealing looks at him.

A bead of sweat slipped down his nose as he concentrated on his work. He was patient, and the sweat didn’t interrupt him. A feeling of sweetness rose in Caroline’s heart.

Caroline finally fell asleep late in the night.

Kirk went to the bathroom to take a cold shower. It was only after two hours under the water that the desire was washed away.

When he came out, he saw Caroline sleeping on the bed. Only her face was above the covers. In sleep, she wasn’t like she usually was when awake. She frowned instead of smiling. It was as if she had some difficult problem she couldn’t solve.

Kirk couldn’t help but kiss her forehead.

When he straightened, he found himself aroused again. Annoyed, he went downstairs and stood in the cool breeze.

Kirk’s phone rang as he reached downstairs.

Seeing the caller ID on the screen, his expression darkened. “Dad.”

“I knew you wouldn’t be asleep yet,” Ivan Morrison said. “How’s business in Easton?”

7m buying several large makeup companies.” Kirk’s voice was cool. “I think they’ll be settled next month. After that, I’ll proceed to the

next target.”

Nan laughed. “I knew it would be fine as long as you were handling it. Right, when are you bringing your wife over?”

van finally got to the point.

Kirk looked in the direction of Caroline’s room. “After a while, probably.”

Ivan’s tone changed as he said, “Didn’t you say you’re coming back next month? Kirk, don’t tell me you didn’t get married at all?”

She sprained her ankle. I’ll go when she’s better.”

Ivan’s tone changed again. Concemed, he asked, “Is she okay? Do you need me to send the specialist team over?”

Kirk put a hand to his forehead. “Dad, do you remember what I told you? She doesn’t know who I really am or who my family is. If she finds

1 remember.” Ivan said. “I’m just worried about my daughter–in–law, okay? Alright. It was hard enough for you to come to your senses and mamy. I’ll accept it even if I have to put on an act with you all my life. But can’t you let me meet her earlier?”

Kirk said. “Once things here are settled, I’ll take her to meet you.”

“Then get on it fast!”

Krk simply hung up.

He raised his head and looked at the darkened rooms. Some emotion swirled in his eyes.

When Caroline woke up, Kirk had already left. The warm oatmeal on her bedside table was the only thing that told her what happened last

night hadn’t been a dream.

They had nearly …

Caroline felt conflicting emotions about it. She put her chin on her palm.

Her and Kirk — What were they to each other now?

“There you are.”

The words interrupted Caroline’s thoughts.

Caroline’s expression turned stern when she saw Eddy there. Her lips thinned as she turned to look outside the window. She ignored Eddy completely.

Eddy tightened his fists.

After Layla had been chased out of the hospital, Eddy had spent a lot of effort getting her into this smaller one. When he’d come to visit her, he’d heard the nurses laughing about a woman who’d been admitted because of a sprain.

Eddy buffed. Thave to admit, playing hard to get really worked. I honestly started caring about you a little.”

He looked at the back of Caroline’s head and inhaled sharply. His words were all coldly mocking.

Caroline turned to stare straight at Bay, Herbace seemed to look right through him. “Eddy, don’t think you’re all that. In my eyes, you’re nothing but a pile of shit

Eddy was stunned to hear Caroline say something so crude. After a long while, he turned red with rage. “Unrefined! You’re so vulgar, Caroline! It seems you’ve been tainted after spending so much time with that lout of a husband you have. You’re even becoming so

boonsar

Caroline smiled mockhol: Yes were unrefined and boorish. But compared to you, a well–dressed beast, we’re at least living honestly!”

“Your” Eddy was so furious that he wagged a finger. “You’re really something! I didn’t know you had such a sharp tongue! And to think I pibed you for hurting your ankle. It seems you deserve it!

After saving that Eddy left in a hu

Caroline watched him go and let out a long breath.

In the past she’d always been the one who’d been chased off by Eddy’s snide words. Now, the tables had finally turned.

When he arrived at Layla’s word, Eddy sat down and ranted, “I’m so mad!”

Layla wanted to sit up but couldn’t do so. She could only ask gently. “What is it, Eddy?”

“I just went to visit Caroline!”

Layla’s gaze darkened.

“She actually said I’m — I’m –“Eddy couldn’t say it. He waved it off. “Whatever, I don’t care for a woman like her.”

Layla smiled at that. “Don’t be mad, Eddy. Besides, Grandpa has accepted her marriage, so your engagement doesn’t matter anymore

“That’s the problem!” Eddy’s brows furrowed. “When I went home last night, Grandpa called me to his study. Do you know what he told me?

“What?” Layla became worried.

“He asked me to get Caroline back.”

Layla slumped into the bed, her face pale.

“Layla.” Eddy sat by Layla’s side and took her hand. Softly, he said, “Don’t worry. There’s no way I’ll go after her. If I go back to her, I’ll become a joke in Osbury. Besides, you’re the only one I want to marry.”

When Layla heard this, she secretly let out a relieved breath. She snuggled into Eddy’s shoulder. “Eddy, it really doesn’t matter if you marry me. Especially after Caroline forced me to swear that I wouldn’t marry you, I have no reason to live anymore.”

“Forget about that oath.” Eddy hugged Layla tight. “I will protect you all my life. Just you wait. I’ll go see Grandpa now and talk it out with him.”

*Eddy … Layla’s eyes flashed with content. “Don’t go …”

However, she didn’t move to stop him.

When Eddy got to the door, he nearly crashed into Sarah and Dan as they rushed over.

Eddy was shocked when he saw the pair in only their underwear. He exclaimed, “What happened, Mr. and Mrs. Evans?”

The second the couple saw Eddy, they started crying. With gritted teeth, they said, “Eddy, you have to get us justice!”

Eddy hurriedly got someone to bring blankets to cover them up. He waited until they’d stopped shivering before finding out what happened.

trip that the car was going in the wrong direction.

They’d wanted to call the police, but the driver had taken their phones,

After dropping them on a hill and taking all their stuff, the driver had sped off.

They were chilled and exhausted on the hill. It was only the next day, when other people showed up, that they were sent back down.

‘It must have been Caroline’s husband!‘ Sarah accused, her expression twisted,
