When Adrian woke up the next day, he thought Caroline would still be depressed, but that wasn't the case. She had slept well and was in high spirits. She didn't look troubled at all. Adrian somewhat admired how quickly she had recovered."Where are you guys going today?" Adrian pretended to be worried. He said, "I haven't bought a ticket yet, so I guess I have to stay in Macovo a little longer."Gwen joked, saying, "Is it because there are no flights to where you want to go? Or is the internet here so bad that you can't even buy a ticket, Mr. Sorkin?"Adrian guessed Gwen probably noticed something. So he looked at Gwen kindly and said, "You're right. It's both of those reasons."Gwen pursed her lips.Caroline didn't notice the confrontation they were having. She replied, "The main purpose of our trip here is to help Gwen find witnesses, so we don't have plans just to hang out. "Adrian, if you want to go sightseeing, you can ask the manager for a local travel guide."Adrian
They didn't know Macovian, but thankfully, translation apps existed."Oh." After coming out of the first house, Gwen was so tired that she leaned into Caroline's arms. She asked, "Do you know what I'm thinking about?"Caroline said, "You wish Sean was here."Gwen nuzzled herself into Caroline's arms. "You read my mind, Carol." At this moment, Gwen had realized the benefits of having Sean around. He could speak Macovian like Kirk, but he claimed he wasn't as proficient in the language as Kirk. However, during their last visit, Gwen saw that he didn't have any problems communicating.He was totally different from them. Although they could use translation apps, communicating was too troublesome.However, the Macovians loved the things Caroline had brought, and they were clearly more enthusiastic than last time. They could've talked more if it hadn't been for the language barrier.Unfortunately, the hostel owner was too far from the scene, so he didn't see what happened.Carol
When Kirk hit Adrian's face with his fist, Caroline happened to step through the hotel entrance. So she clearly saw Kirk swinging his fist and Adrian falling to the ground. Furious, she ran in front of Adrian without hesitation and blocked Kirk. "What the hell are you doing, Kirk?"Kirk calmed down immediately in the face of Caroline, who had suddenly shown up. However, when he realized she was protecting Adrian, he lost his rationality again. He clenched his fists tightly, digging his nails into his palm. "Are you protecting him?""He's my friend! Why are you hurting him?" Caroline glared back at him. He was going too far! It was fine if he only hurt her, but now he wouldn't even let her friends off the hook!Kirk gritted his teeth and asked again, "Are you protecting him?"Caroline didn't know what he was obsessed with, but compared to his question, she would rather have him apologize to Adrian. "You hurt someone! You should apologize to my friend!""What if I don't?" Ki
Caroline had never treated Adrian this coldly before. But now, because he had brought up divorce, she …He said, "But since he hit me, aren't you worried that—""He won't." Caroline fully trusted Kirk when it came to matters of physical violence. "He wouldn't do something like that."Adrian immediately became speechless. The silence wrapped around his chest like a web. After a while, he smiled. "You're right. He wouldn't."Caroline looked at him, confused by his words.Adrian smiled, feeling resigned. "He punched me just now because I provoked him on purpose. So he wasn't in the wrong. I'm the wrongdoer here."Caroline's expression shifted at his words. "Are you telling the truth?"Her expression tugged at Adrian's heart, but he still said with a smile, "Yeah.""Why did you do that?" Caroline was angry.Adrian looked at her, hurt swirling in his gaze. All the things he wanted to say were stuck in his throat. After a moment, he smiled sadly and apologized, "I'm sorry. I j
One of the two people was Angelo, Dolly's husband. Dolly was the woman she had met on her previous trip to Macovo. His body looked more plump. The woman beside him wasn't the bejeweled woman from before, nor was she Dolly. Instead, she was a young woman who looked to be in her 20s.Angelo didn't seem to recognize Caroline. He walked to the nurse's desk, asked for a box of contraceptives, and then left.Behind Caroline, the nurse sighed softly.Although she couldn't understand Macovian, noticing the nurse's yearning look, she couldn't help but ask, "Do you know that gentleman?"The nurse first looked at Caroline in surprise. Then, noticing she wasn't Macovian, she said warmly, "Of course, he's the owner of this clinic.""He's your boss?" Caroline hadn't known about this. However, this explained why the women around him were more beautiful than the others. After all, clinic owners made quite a lot of money."Yes, and he isn't married yet. I wonder which lucky girl will get to m
Caroline felt like someone who had run away to avoid the complicated world. She didn't want to think about the hardships caused by the trivial disputes of life.Seeing that she didn't resist, Kirk finally had the courage to lead her back to the hotel.The two quietly stepped on the snow coating the street. They walked on the short road for over half an hour.After entering the hotel, Caroline felt the warm temperature hit her face. As if she had returned to reality, she snapped out of her trance and jerked her hand away from Kirk.Gwen, Sean, and Adrian, who were waiting in the lobby, came over when they saw them. Gwen grabbed Caroline and glanced at Kirk. She asked, "Are you okay, Carol?""I'm fine." Caroline looked down at the floor. "Let's go upstairs.""Okay."Gwen dragged Caroline away, leaving the three men behind in the lobby.Adrian looked at Sean and asked, "Dr. Yates, can I talk to your friend privately?" He had just learned from Gwen that Sean was a famed genius
After Adrian left, Sean walked back to Kirk's side. "I didn't expect Mr. Sorkin to be so fond of Caroline."Kirk looked at Sean coldly.Feeling a chill on his back, Sean quickly changed the subject. "What's going on with you and Caroline? I saw you two holding hands and coming back together. Have you reconciled?"Kirk glared at Sean again. Only then did Sean realize that he had said something stupid. If he learned that his partner was polygamous, he wouldn't be able to forgive them unless there was a misunderstanding like Kirk's. But since Kirk couldn't tell Caroline the truth, she had no idea that there was a misunderstanding."But you don't have to worry." With a smile, Sean lightened the gloomy atmosphere and hooked his arm around Kirk's shoulder. "I talked to Gwen when you were out looking for Caroline. It turns out they're here in Macovo to find proof that Gwen is innocent. But since neither of them speak Macovian, they're having trouble with the language barrier."He p
Sean helplessly looked at Kirk in the passenger seat. However, Kirk was in a good mood. The corners of his lips curved into a small smile.Following yesterday's route, the two of them started visiting each house. With translators like Sean and Kirk around, they did better than yesterday. Caroline finally had the opportunity to introduce the items she had brought from Easton, and Macovo's residents could have a better understanding of the things she was giving them.This approach undoubtedly increased the residents' trust in the four of them. And sure enough, they began opening up to them.Several people said they were at the skating rink that day and saw that girl falling by herself. Since she had made too much noise and was an outsider, they remembered her as clear as day. They even offered to help record a video to prove Gwen's innocence if necessary, which was an unexpected surprise.Although they were only witnesses, they could at least prove that Mia's side of the story
