Mermaid dresses were the best clothing to show off your curves. As Caroline admired her graceful figure in the mirror, she blushed slightly. Meanwhile, Kirk also smiled at her reflection in the mirror. He held her waist as he swayed her gently, enjoying the view. He slowly leaned over to Caroline's neck, taking a whiff of her feminine scent.Caroline couldn't maintain her composure any longer. Kirk seemed to have noticed it. He put one hand around her waist and carried her to the dressing table. She felt the dressing table against her back.As the warm air circulated in the room, the hands at Caroline's waist slowly moved up. After a few moments, the coldness mixed with the room's heat. Their passion ignited her fair skin bit by bit until her skin turned pink, and her reflection in the mirror became more and more blurry. In the end, Caroline couldn't see anything else. She became confused. Was it really freezing outside? The cold wasn't as bad as she thought.That night, Car
There was a pretty girl in the photo who looked like she was just about 18 or 19 years old. A crown sat on her head, and she was dressed in an extravagant ballgown. Her long, wavy locks cascaded on her shoulders and on her back, emphasizing her beauty even more. There was another person in the photo too. It was Kirk. It was impossible to tell when the photo had been taken, but Kirk didn't look any older now than he did in the photo. His lips were pursed, even though the girl in the photo had a dazzling smile on her face. Caroline thought that something was off about it. But she couldn't tell what it was.She returned to the chat space to find that the photo had been recalled. The woman sent her another message soon, which read: "This is all I can tell you. It's your choice whether to believe me or not, but please don't tell my husband about this. If he finds out that I told you his secret, he'll never let me go."Caroline wanted to reply, but the woman had already blocked her
"Really?" She asked. "Yep. I've asked the owner of the hostel about it. At this time of the year, polar lights can be seen from 10:00 pm to 3:00 am," said Sean."What a stroke of luck!" Caroline beamed. Something hid behind her smile, but Gwen failed to realize that there was a hidden meaning behind Caroline's words. "Let's wait outside after we finish our meals, then!" exclaimed Gwen. "Sure," Sean replied without giving it a second thought. The corners of Caroline's mouth tilted upward in a smile when she saw the look on Gwen's and Sean's faces. Turning away from them, she saw Kirk smiling at her adoringly. The suspicion she held before this vanished without a trace when she saw the sincere emotions in his eyes. She chided herself for believing a stranger's words and doubting her own husband. Kirk brushed a strand of hair away from her cheek and asked smilingly, "What are you thinking about?" But she merely shook her head in reply. It was 9:00 pm when the four of th
This was supposed to be a happy occasion now that Sean and Gwen were finally officially together. Yet Mia's arrival had sucked all the joy out of the air. Sensing this, Caroline walked toward Mia. "It's such a coincidence to meet you here, Mia! Have you had dinner yet? Let me take you inside." Mia's expression changed when she saw Caroline approaching her. She started to say something but was swiftly dragged away by a forceful Caroline. Kirk watched Caroline's retreating figure. Then, he glanced at Sean, who sighed in relief and mouthed "thank you" at him before carrying on with coaxing Gwen. Kirk left them to follow Caroline. Mia only managed to wring her hands free from Caroline's grasp once they were in the restaurant. She massaged her wrists and said, "Caroline, you hurt my hands."Caroline turned to look at her with icy eyes. "Why are you here?"Mia blinked. "It's a holiday. I'm here on vacation. What's the problem?" Caroline didn't buy it. How could it be a mere coinc
"Yes. Gwen said that Mia likes me. She doesn't believe that I have nothing to do with Mia, no matter how hard I try to explain myself," Sean complained. He was innocent!He would give anything to go back in time to when they had been at the cherry farm and give himself a good beating. Why had he come up with such a ridiculous idea back then? "Does Gwen not believe that you don't like Mia? Or does she find it hard to believe that Mia doesn't like you?" "Is there a difference?" Sean asked, utterly perplexed now. "Of course there is. You really don't understand Gwen. It doesn't matter if you like Mia or not," Caroline told him. "If Mia likes you, she'll be a thorn in Gwen's side. After all, Gwen once saw you two together." "But that was because—" Sean tried to explain, but Caroline waved a hand in the air to stop him. "Logically, she knows that you were putting on an act. However, she still feels bothered about it because Mia poses a second problem." "A second problem?"
The photoshoot continued without a hitch. On the final day, Kirk invited Cook and his team for a meal, and they headed back to Macldo shortly after that. "The final photos will be sent to Easton. If you have any other requests, you can simply send me an email." Cook smiled as he waved goodbye to Caroline, who nodded gratefully at him."Thank you, Mr. Cook." After watching Cook's plane take off, Caroline and Kirk left the airport and returned to the hotel. They had told Sean and Gwen beforehand that they would go skating tomorrow since there was a skating rink just behind the hotel. In the past few days, Mia had tried to meet Sean. However, he had managed to make up lots of excuses to stop meeting her. It was evident that Mia was strong-willed. One time, Sean had rejected his follow request on Instagram, but the next thing he knew, he had run into her at the restaurant, where she had been clearly waiting for him. But she had claimed that it was just a coincidence. Still,
Sean could feel a migraine forming the moment he saw Mia. He couldn't have cared less if it hadn't been for the fact that she was just 18 years old and unfamiliar with this place. This was her first time traveling abroad, too. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Gwen's expression was her usual one. Standing behind her, he wrapped a hand around her waist and said, "Morning." Gwen stiffened and glanced at his hand around her hip. The corners of her lips tilted up into a smile. Mia noticed this and understood what it implied. But she chose to pretend as if she didn't see it and simply smile at Gwen. "Gwen, do you know how to skate?""Yes, why?" "I'm not good at skating," Mia muttered. "Can you teach me?" She had always asked Sean for help, but this time, she decided to ask Gwen instead.Gwen's instincts told her that Mia was scheming something. "I don't—""If you're not free, can you let Sean teach me?" Mia stared at Gwen with puppy-dog eyes, rendering her speechless
"What happened?" Caroline dashed across the rink toward Gwen, who looked as if she had just seen a ghost. "I—I don't know," said Gwen. "I held her arm to support her while teaching her how to skate just now. But she fell backward all of a sudden." She went to check on Mia as she spoke. "Are you okay?"Mia placed a hand on the back of her head and glanced down at it to see it stained red with blood. Despite that, she smiled when she glanced around at the crowd. "I'm fine, Gwen. I know you didn't do it on purpose." Gwen paled immediately at her words. Out of his obligation as a doctor, Sean rushed over and crouched beside Mia to inspect her wound. "You have to go to the hospital. Now," he said sternly when he saw that the back of her head was matted with blood. His expression changed in an instant. Gwen started to speak. She wanted to explain herself to Sean and say that she didn't know how this happened. But he was already busy calling for the guards and ordering
