His photos were the best she had ever seen. The others just paled in comparison.Cook smiled widely and gave Kirk a thumbs up. "Your wife is much cuter than you."Kirk raised an eyebrow but didn't say a word.The three of them sat down again to discuss the photo shooting location.Every time Caroline laid eyes on a location, she wanted to go there. Even the background photos, like the snow, fallen leaves, or grass by the seaside, were beautifully photographed by Cook. For a moment, she had a hard time deciding on a location."Why don't we have the photo shoot in Macovo?" After much hesitation, Caroline pointed at the photo of the snowy plains at Macovo.Cook looked at Kirk.Kirk wrapped an arm around Caroline's waist and lightly tapped the table with his other hand. "Don't you like the other places?""Of course I do." Caroline tilted her head and met Kirk's gaze. She said sadly, "But we can only choose one.""Why is that so?" Kirk pouted. He patted Caroline's head and said
Caroline froze for a moment. Then, she snuggled into Kirk's chest, hugging his waist tightly. She rubbed slightly and whined, "Kirk …"Her actions destroyed Kirk's rationality, and he gritted his teeth. "You're killing me, darling."The car arrived at the villa half an hour later. It only took a minute before Kirk pinned Caroline to the bed.When he kissed her lips deeply, she often thought of an erupting volcano. It was hot and intense, like his love for her. She immediately stretched out her hands and hugged Kirk's neck.The next day, thankfully, it was a day off, so she could sleep in.On the other hand, Kirk seemed to be fine and went to work early in the morning.After sleeping until the afternoon, Caroline finally had the strength to get out of bed. She called Quentin and asked where Desmond was now."He's at the entrance of Victoria Hospital, waiting for the director." Quentin explained as he typed on the keyboard, "The director will be giving a lecture in the hospital
Desmond sat in the car. He looked up at the hospital entrance occasionally, probably to see if the director was there.Caroline strode over to the car in her high heels.Desmond recognized Caroline at a glance. "Ms. Evans."Caroline nodded slightly. "Can we chat for a while?""I'm waiting for someone.""I know." Caroline took out a document and tossed it to him. "Can you explain where your costly annual medical expenses come from?"Desmond panicked after just one glance at the documents. However, he was still a man who had been in prison, after all. He quickly calmed down and said somewhat arrogantly, "My relative gave it to me. Got a problem with that?""I didn't know Dan Evans was one of your relatives." As Caroline spoke, she tossed him another transaction record. Although different card numbers were used for each transfer, all of them pointed to one person, Dan.Desmond's expression shifted immediately. He tried to start the car, but he couldn't turn it on because he
It was only then that everyone noticed a woman in the parking lot.Thinking Caroline and Desmond were working together, Mr. Sherman said to the security guards, "Throw her out too.""Hang on, Mr. Sherman." Caroline walked up to the old man. She asked, "Even if you don't know me, you must know Dr. Yates, right?"Mr. Sherman nudged his gold-rimmed glasses and said disdainfully, "Of course. What about him? Are you going to say you're Dr. Yates' friend?""You're right. I am his friend."Mr. Sherman laughed. "Miss, many people have told me they're his friends when I walk by here daily. You liars can't just say that you know Dr. Yates because you know he's the largest shareholder in this hospital. Even if you know him, he doesn't know you, does he?"Caroline didn't expect Sean to be an investor in this hospital. She thought he was just a doctor."Go ahead and ask him yourself." Caroline took out her phone, dialed Sean's number, and handed it to Mr. Sherman.Mr. Sherman took her pho
Mr. Sherman hurriedly said, "Since he's your friend, we'll take him in. I'll get the obstetrics and gynecology department to get him registered right away."Caroline nodded slightly, then looked at Desmond again. "You'd better not pull any tricks on me."Desmond smiled wryly. "I willingly helped your father forge accounts for the sake of having children. After handing over these ledgers, I don't even care if I end up in jail again."Caroline thought someone like him was pitiful. He had taken the risk and gone against the law just to have a child of his own. She actually couldn't understand his feelings.Half an hour later, Desmond's wife, Ivy Baker, brought Evans Group's real ledgers to the hospital gate. When she learned that Victoria Hospital had accepted to help them, she was so happy that she hugged Desmond. The two cried tears of joy.However, when Ivy learned she had to give Caroline the real ledgers, she hesitated."Give it to Ms. Evans, dear. The hospital wouldn't take
When Kirk came home, he could feel that the atmosphere was a bit gloomy. With a smile, he hugged Caroline from behind.He asked, "Who upset you today, babe?" He knew that she had been looking for Desmond.Caroline pushed Kirk away. Her expression remained neutral as she said, "No one.""Then why do you look like you have a lot on your mind?" Kirk snatched the tomato from Caroline, picked up the knife, and cut it open."I do not." Caroline walked to the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. When she returned to the kitchen, Kirk was already cooking. He said, "You're lying to me again." Then, he chuckled. "Just wait for now. I'll call you when I'm done."Caroline didn't leave. Instead, she leaned against the wall. As she watched Kirk get busy in the kitchen, she couldn't help blurting out, "Do you ever regret marrying me?"Kirk didn't even turn around as he asked, "Why are you thinking about that?""I remember that you wanted children very much. But after I told you th
Evans Group was a small company with a total of six shareholders. The company itself was the largest shareholder, but because a member of the Evans family was running for the position, Dan, the previous CEO, had no say in the situation.Only the five other shareholders could make the final decision. And among these five people, two were on Eddy's side. In other words, they were definitely on Layla's side.Hence, Caroline had to convince the other three people to support her. That's why she had gotten the real ledgers. They could recover the money people had cheated them out of with these ledgers too.Caroline had just finished tidying up when she got a call from Gwen. "Carol, I'll go wedding dress shopping with you later.""Don't you have work?" Caroline asked. "I have a two-hour break at noon. So, we can go over and have a look.""All right." Caroline had no hopes for the store Cook had introduced, but she still said, "I'll call you when I get off work at noon.""Okay."S
The bodyguard's arrogance made Caroline and Gwen frown in unison.Gwen whispered in Caroline's ear, "Why make such a big fuss? It's not like the queen is coming, right?"The store manager walked out when he heard the commotion. Seeing so many bodyguards, she hurriedly asked with a smile, "Who are you people?""We're Ms. Daphne's bodyguards. She's coming here to try on wedding dresses. You're the store manager, right?" The bodyguard looked down on his nose at the store manager. He ordered, "Hurry up and get rid of the irrelevant people. If we spread any news about this place, you might as well close these doors."The store manager asked, "By Ms. Daphne, do you mean Daphne Dawson?""Yes."When the store manager heard that Daphne was coming, she didn't care about anything else and hurriedly asked the clerks to get the customers out of the store. Most people were having lunch at this hour, so there was only one other customer besides Caroline and Gwen. The customer immediately le
