The gloom on Kirk's face was so apparent that Sean instantly realized his mistake. Hastily, he added, "However, sincerity rules the heart. One day, she just might be so touched and accept the fact that you're one of the Morrisons." In spite of what Sean said, Kirk's expression didn't change for the better. In the end, Sean had to flee from the room to avoid getting beaten to a pulp. "I'm leaving," he said, darting away. When Caroline walked out of the room next door, she saw Sean in the corridor. After entering her room, she asked Kirk, "Was Sean here just now?" Kirk stared at the cherry juice in the juicer and kept quiet. As she approached him, she realized just how unsettling his aura was. "What's wrong?" She asked, her tone cautious. Kirk raised his eyes to meet hers. The piercing look in his eyes vanished like morning dew the moment he saw her. "The cherry juice is ready."However, Caroline looked him up and down and asked, "Are you okay?""I'm fine," Kirk told her
A shadow fell across Jude's face as he started mumbling to himself. "Kirk's been married for at least three months now. Why did he only buy her a house now? Tell me, Simon, does this woman even exist? Or did Kirk hire her to put on a show for me?" Confused, Simon asked, "But why would he do that?"Jude gripped his cane. It took him a moment to respond. "Because the woman he married is Caroline!" Now that made Simon inhale sharply. "Mr. Morrison Senior, how is that possible? Ms. Evans and Mr. Kirk have never met each other.""I hope so. Perhaps I was overthinking it." Jude let out a long breath. "Mr. Morrison Senior, if you're so worried about it, why don't you simply call Ms. Evans to make sure?""No way!" Jude rejected his idea outright. Kirk was highly alert about this matter the last time they met. If Jude were to ask Caroline directly about this, it would surely arouse Kirk's suspicions.Jude shut his eyes tightly.The image of a young woman in a wedding gown emerged
Sean was stunned. He found it hard to believe just what was going on in Mia's mind. He was so dumbfounded that he forgot to free his arm from hers. "Mia, are you sure about this?'Mia shushed him and took a few steps closer to him. "She's looking at you." A smile made its way onto Sean's face. "Really?" he asked, pleasantly surprised. "Yep." "Then how does she look? Is she upset?" "She doesn't look happy, alright." "So, it worked then?" "I think so," said Mia as she looked right into his eyes with a dazzling smile. Caroline's brows were knit tightly together as she watched Mia and Sean from afar. She cocked her head to one side to see Gwen walking into the distance. Then, she turned to Kirk, who was beside her. "What's Sean doing?"Kirk had been enjoying spending time with Caroline by his side. He was holding hands with her as they walked side by side, much to his delight. Hearing her mention another man's name—his good friend's name, at that—made him very displea
There was a bar near the hostel, and there weren't many people there since it was only 5 pm. Sean got them a spot in one of the corners of the bar. Then, he ordered a dozen bottles of beer, and started drinking. Looking dejectedly at Kirk, he asked, "Hey, do you think Gwen has no feelings for me at all?"Kirk was busy scrolling through his tablet. He didn't even raise his eyes to look at Sean when he replied, "What makes you think she likes you?""Because I'm a good-looking, genius doctor." Sean pressed his fingers against his temples in distress. Seeing Kirk fully hooked on his tablet, Sean strained his neck to peek at the screen. "What are you looking at?"Kirk didn't try to cover the screen. When Sean saw what was shown there, his expression immediately changed to one of shock and horror. "The person who took Caroline to Saint Pierre was her mother?"Even beasts would look after their young. Caroline's mother was atrocious!Kirk continued looking through the information
Kirk didn't know what the notification was about. However, he had a few guesses after seeing Caroline's reaction. He raised a hand to pat her on the back. "What is it?" She handed him her phone right after. Kirk glanced at the phone and said, "It seems like you aren't surprised at all." Smiling, she explained, "Sarah called me the day I was taken to the hotel to meet Brie. I didn't connect the dots then. With this, I finally know why Brie had been bold enough to do that. "She wasn't the one who took me there, so she knew she wouldn't have to take the blame if something happened to me." Yet somehow an accident had occurred, making Brie go nuts. Kirk took Caroline into his arms. "Are you upset?" he asked. Caroline shook her head and rested it against his shoulder. "A few days ago, Sarah came to me. She asked me to persuade Grandpa to agree to Eddy and Layla seeing each other. I wondered why she would act like that …"Then, she looked down at her phone and snickered. "I
Kirk stood by the door. The light fell on his face, and the corners of his mouth curved upward in a smile. "Let's go," he told Caroline, who looked up to meet his gaze. She strode toward him and hooked an arm around his. "Okay."Kirk glanced sideways at her. "Why are you so happy?"Caroline tossed him a mysterious smile. "You'll know once we get our dinner." Then, she fist-pumped the air slightly in Gwen's direction as a sign of encouragement. Gwen pursed her lips at this. Later, the three of them went downstairs together. Sean was already waiting for them by the door. The place they were going to have dinner was just next door.Just when the four of them started heading out, Mia came rushing to them. "Sean, are you guys going to have dinner?" She asked. "Yes." "Can I tag along?" Pouting, she winked at him. Sean subconsciously glanced at Gwen, whose face paled briefly to see Mia here. Coincidentally, she locked eyes with Sean. In the blink of an eye, Mia had already
Mia cast a miserable gaze at Kirk once again. Kirk put his hands in his pockets, his eyes cold. He had no intention of speaking up for her.Seeing this, Mia stomped her foot angrily and stormed off.Caroline frowned as she watched Mia leave. Then, Caroline put the money back in her bag.Kirk stepped forward and put his arm around Caroline's waist. He said, "Let's get some food."Caroline looked at the elevator and asked uncertainly, "Shouldn't we go check up on them?"Kirk smiled. "What are you going to do?""But I'm worried about them …"Kirk forcefully led her to the restaurant next door. "They're already adults. They can handle things on their own."Caroline didn't respond.Even when they were at the restaurant for food, Caroline was still worried about them. So, she packed some food for them and went to the hostel. When she arrived downstairs, she saw an ambulance parked at the entrance.Caroline had a bad feeling and hurried out. She saw Sean carrying Gwen down the stair
Caroline frowned slightly. She couldn't believe this was the taste of the eloquent man who had spoken at the press conference more than a month ago.However, the entertainment website's sources were well-founded. Some people had even discovered that Daphne had been playing minor supporting roles before she married. But now, all of her parts were second or third leading roles. She could only have such connections because she'd married Eddy's second uncle and affiliated herself with the Morrisons."What are you looking at?" Kirk asked, quietly showing up beside her.Caroline looked up, almost thinking the man standing before her was Eddy's second uncle. Aside from their faces, Kirk and Eddy's second uncle looked really similar."Nothing important. Just some gossip." Caroline remembered that they had a fight because of Eddy's second uncle, so she didn't hand him the phone. Instead, she asked, "What did you buy?""Some oatmeal and pasta," Kirk said calmly, watching Caroline put
