Daphne was confused by his words. "What?"Kirk had already lost his patience. He turned to Charles and ordered, "Pull the circuit breaker."The villa's main circuit box was just a short distance from the door. Charles walked over there in a few steps and turned off the main power switch.In an instant, the bright villa was plunged into darkness. Everyone in the living room panicked, screaming and running away. However, one minute later, light returned to the estate.The first thing Daphne saw when she regained her sight was Kirk wearing a mask and sunglasses. She was dumbfounded at the sight. Ignoring her questioning look, Kirk opened the door and entered the home.When everyone saw Kirk, who was disguised more thoroughly than a celebrity, their eyes widened in shock.Someone asked with concern, "Ms. Daphne, is this your husband?"Daphne swallowed. "Y—yes.""Then, what is he …"Daphne didn't know why Kirk had suddenly disguised himself. She smiled awkwardly and tried to come
In the past few days, Kirk had tried every way to talk with Caroline more. Yet, ironically, using his true identity allowed Caroline to speak with him freely. "Hello." He swallowed, trying to suppress the burning emotions in his chest. He didn't want to scare Caroline off again."Thank you for helping me many times. When are you free? I would like to treat you to a meal." Caroline didn't notice anything unusual about Kirk at all.He dug his fist a little deeper into the couch. He gritted his teeth, his jaw tightening as he answered, "Any time."Caroline didn't expect Kirk to be so easygoing. She smiled and asked, "Then, can I add your number on WhatsApp?" She could ask him some business questions if she had his number on WhatsApp.The fire in Kirk's eyes burned even brighter at her words. He dug his fingers deep into the flesh of his palm, the pain making him retain the last bit of his sanity. "Okay," he forced out.Caroline blinked, thinking that Kirk was getting impatient. S
Just as Caroline was about to reach the door, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she heard a deep, mature voice behind her again. "Caroline!"Caroline's body shook at his voice. For a moment, she really thought it was Kirk calling her.However, after calming down, she could clearly tell that the voices of Kirk and Eddy's second uncle were different. Although their voices had the same magnetic allure, Kirk sounded more casual, while Eddy's second uncle sounded more mature and authoritative.She took a deep breath and turned around. She asked, "Is there anything else, sir?"Kirk didn't answer Caroline's question. Instead, he looked at Daphne's manager and ordered, "Get a few people to bring the gifts in."When Daphne heard there were gifts, she immediately smiled.Everyone else also expressed their envy."You're so doting to your wife! I'm so jealous!"Among all the excitement, Caroline stood at the door, bewildered. Since Kirk didn't say anything, she didn't dare leave. Howe
Kirk had prepared so many gifts for an outsider like Caroline, but he hadn't prepared a single one for Daphne. Everyone looked at each other, finding the turn of events outrageous.Basically, Caroline had a higher place in Kirk's heart than Daphne. The people who had ridiculed Caroline just now trembled at this outcome. They hurriedly took out their phones and sent apologetic messages to Caroline. They said they hadn't meant to insult her and hoped that she would forgive them.Caroline had no intentions of dealing with those people at the moment. All her attention was on the gifts next to her.She was really puzzled. Why would Eddy's second uncle give her a bunch of gifts?If he had given them sooner, she could chalk it up as him doing it for Eddy's sake. However, it had been so long since she broke off her engagement with Eddy. No matter how late his second uncle had found out about this, he should still know about it.…Because of what happened with the gifts, the banquet e
Looking at the gifts in the room, Caroline felt confused once again. She couldn't help but ask Jack, who had helped her carry the gifts, "Mr. Jack, can I ask you a question?"Jack said, "Go ahead.""Why do you think Eddy's second uncle gave me so many gifts?"Jack widened his eyes and answered cautiously, "Maybe he likes you, Ms. Evans. I don't mean romantically but in a familial way …"Caroline frowned and was about to say something when another car came in. It was Kirk's car. Her expression shifted slightly.Jack followed Caroline's gaze and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Kirk's car. The next second, a tall figure got out of the vehicle."Your husband is back," Jack chirped. However, he noticed Caroline was standing there, not moving an inch. At that moment, he finally realized why something seemed so off between the two of them! They had fought, hadn't they? Thinking of this, he hurriedly said, "I'll be leaving first, Ms. Evans."Caroline nodded slightly.
Kirk's mind racedthem. After a moment, he said, "Darling, before I tell you the truth, can you answer a question?"Caroline was confused, but she still nodded sullenly.Kirk took a deep breath. "Do you like the Morrisons?"For some reason, Kirk's question reminded Caroline of when she had run into Daphne at the car dealership a few days ago. Back then, Daphne had kept bringing up the Morrisons. So when she heard Kirk's question, she almost frowned in disgust.Although her subtle movements were brief, Kirk still noticed it."I don't." Caroline said bluntly, "If it hadn't been for Grandpa, I really wouldn't want to have anything to do with them."Even though he had expected this answer, a trace of hurt appeared in Kirk's eyes, but he quickly sat up straight."Why are you asking me this?" Caroline looked at Kirk, confused. Did this have anything to do with his multiple marriages?Kirk looked at Caroline fondly. He said, "It's nothing. I was just asking."Caroline saw the tend
Caroline took out her phone and tapped on her private chat with Marina. Now, she could only know what to believe after getting some precise information.However, Marina hadn't sent her another message since the last time.Caroline remembered Marina saying that she could easily investigate the truth. After some consideration, she sent Marina a message, asking her how her investigation went.At this moment, she heard Kirk's voice again. "Darling?"Caroline's heart jumped, and she almost dropped her phone. Taking a deep breath, she forced herself to calm down.There was no point in having negative emotions like panic, anger, and disappointment when dealing with this issue. She had to calm down. Only by remaining calm could the damage be minimal.However, it was easier said than done. After taking several deep breaths, Caroline said, "I got it. I'll be down in a moment."After hearing a response from her, Kirk's tense body finally relaxed slightly. "All right. I'll head downstairs
Caroline kept her head down as she ate her baguette. Something fell into her oatmeal. She blinked desperately before forcing out, "Yeah.""Are you really not angry anymore?" Kirk tightly gripped his fork.Caroline took another bite of the baguette and secretly wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. "Are you talking about having your own company? Why didn't you tell me about it before?"Kirk tightly clenched the fork in his hand. Joy surged in every part of his body. He answered with a slight vibrato, "Because … Because I didn't know how to tell you."Caroline blinked, tears forming in her eyes again. She swallowed again. "When you said you would resign, did you already know you would inherit your family business?"Kirk was silent. He really hadn't thought about this. The reason he had mentioned resigning was so that he could start a company and make Caroline's life better. He touched his nose and frowned. Sure enough, once you told a lie, you had to tell more lies to cover
