Caroline bought some cold and fever medicine before rushing home. When she got there, she immediately went upstairs to look for Kirk. "Have you checked your temperature?" Caroline asked. Her tense expression cleared slightly when she saw Kirk looking as he usually did on the bed. She put her hand on Kirk's forehead to check the temperature.Caroline frowned. "You don't seem to have a fever.""Really?" Kirk smoothly pulled Caroline into his embrace."I tested my temperature three times. It was 100 degrees Fahrenheit all three times. Maybe the fever subsided because I took some medicine."Caroline was a bit suspicious. "Then let me get the thermometer and measure it again.""No need." Kirk buried his face in the crook of Caroline's neck. "You're my medicine. Since you're home, I'm not sick anymore.""It seems you really have a fever. You're even talking nonsense." Caroline pushed him away in a huff. "I was in such a rush to get back that I even forgot to tell Grandpa I was

When Caroline walked into the office, her colleagues seemed livelier than usual as they greeted her in a flurry. Nothing had changed, and yet everything had changed. Caroline played with the pencil in her hand, still thinking about Jack. He seemed like a loyal and honest man, not some bad person. But why had he lied about the company hiring him?She had wanted to ask him about it many times when she'd been in the car this morning. In the end, though, she didn't. After keeping it a secret for so long, Jack surely wouldn't just tell her so easily. If she asked about it, he would get suspicious. She had better wait until Adrian found her a private investigator to check it out.Speak of the devil. As Caroline drank some water, she received a text from Adrian. It read, "Found a private investigator. Free to come out and meet tomorrow night?""Sure," Caroline texted back. "Alright," came the reply.Caroline didn't respond anymore. Instead, she turned on her computer and started t

However, to everyone's surprise, Vivian only tilted her chin up slightly. She said, as if forced to, "Congratulations, Ms. Evans."The scene made many people drop their jaws in shock. They couldn't believe that Vivian would say such a thing. After all, everyone knew how lowly Vivian thought of Caroline.Caroline frowned slightly as she looked at Vivian, but the latter only smiled. "Indeed, I disliked you a lot back then. But since you even won the Rosebow Contest, this means you have received the acknowledgement of those in the field. If I don't acknowledge your skill now, I'd be going against everyone."Vivian spoke sincerely, but Caroline didn't buy it. She didn't think someone could change their mind so easily. The strangest thing was that she had never even sent in a design to the Rosebow Contest. How could she win first place, then?"Thank you, but …""Today is such a great day," Vivian said, interrupting Caroline. "Since Ms. Evans won the Rosebow Contest, shouldn't she

At once, Sean looked over at Kirk.Kirk leaned in his seat casually, with one arm stretching out over Caroline's shoulder. The threat was clear in his smile."What are you looking at me for? Your wife's asking you.""What wife?" Gwen glared at Kirk. Then, she turned to look at Sean. "Is my question so tough to answer?""Alright." Sean glanced at Kirk, his expression pained. "Sorry, bro. For my wife, I have to throw you under the bus."Kirk only looked at Sean with a smile.Sean braced himself and said, "Actually, before meeting Carrie … Kirk, he … was a vir—"Caroline had been taking a sip of her drink. When she heard this, she couldn't help but spray the drink out in surprise. The droplets landed on Sean. Sean, an innocent who had suffered unjustly, glanced over at Caroline dejectedly.Caroline quickly pulled out some tissues and gave them to him. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I really didn't expect …" She glanced at Kirk as she spoke. "Were you … really?"Kirk's face was pa

Daphne was very pleased as she said, "Mr. Collins, please don't joke. Maybe his subordinates just never passed the message to him."Harold didn't continue pursuing this subject. "Mrs. Morrison, my wife bought some newly released bags recently. I'll have my staff send you some, alright?""How could I possibly accept your gift, Mr. Collins?""Oh, but this is a gift to thank you. If you don't accept it, I'll feel bad about getting to meet Mr. Morrison.""Well, since you've put it like that, I can only accept it."After some more chitchat, Daphne and Howard finally ended their call. Daphne couldn't help but whoop in joy. It was wonderful. Just wonderful. Good days were finally coming for her!…After dinner, Caroline and Kirk took the same car home. On the way back, she laid her head on his shoulder. She asked, "Do you feel like Gwen and Sean's relationship is getting better?"Kirk caressed Caroline's waist and said, "That's all you sensed?"Caroline looked up at him nervously

Jack had been through a lot of life-or-death situations. But when he heard this, he was so scared that he started sweating bullets. "Sir, what have I done wrong?"Kirk leaned back in his seat. "You haven't done anything wrong. But after tonight, Howard Collins won't have people tailing Caroline anymore. So you can also go back to your usual post."Jack finally relaxed. "Yes, sir.""Your performance during this time has been good. Once you get back, I'll reward you generously for it. But remember, you must keep quiet about everything that happened during this time.""Thank you, sir," Jack replied. "Don't worry. I won't say anything."After that, Kirk stepped out of the car. By the time he got inside the villa, Caroline had already turned on her computer."It's already so late. Why aren't you going to sleep? What are you looking at?" Kirk sat on the armrest of the chair Caroline was in. He massaged her neck gently, looking at the screen.Caroline didn't even look up. However, sh

Time passed by slowly. As it did, Howard became so nervous that he started sweating.After a long time, Kirk said unhurriedly, "I heard you've had someone following Caroline Evans?"Howard's expression shifted when the topic suddenly turned to Caroline. He didn't know what Kirk meant by this.Kirk looked up at Howard. "Don't dare to admit to it?""It's not that." Howard felt pained. "I'm only having Caroline followed because my daughter's condition has something to do with her husband."Kirk tapped the ashtray against the table, creating a crisp noise. "I'm not here to listen to your sob story. My uncle is exceedingly fond of Caroline. If you're looking to give her trouble, you should be more careful."Howard's face turned white. Kirk was making himself very plain now—Caroline was someone Kirk was protecting."Yes, I … I won't dare to do such a thing again.""If you'd like to partner with me and make money, that can be forgiven. However, you must remember not to offend th

Sean became anxious. "Don't. Let me go instead. It's so late at night, it's not safe for a woman to go out alone.""But staying home …" Before Caroline could finish speaking, she heard the sound of a car downstairs. She hurriedly stuck her head out the balcony to see that it was Kirk's car. With that, her heart finally dislodged from her throat. "Kirk's home. I'm going downstairs now."When he heard this, Sean sighed on the other end of the line.The second Caroline went downstairs and saw Kirk coming in, she threw herself into his embrace. "Where did you go?"Kirk was stunned by the sudden impact. Then, he tightened his arms around Caroline's waist. Laughing, he said, "I had to deal with something at the company. What is it? Did you have a bad dream?"Caroline's eyes stung as she sniffed. "Why didn't you leave me a message?"Kirk's heart softened, his tone becoming gentler. "Did I scare you?""You didn't answer when I called, and you didn't leave a message. Of course I was
