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
The car became pindrop silent for a moment.Sean braced himself several times before saying, "Kirk has his reasons for having multiple marriages.""Reasons?" Gwen sneered, "Did someone hold him at gunpoint and force him to get married? My dad loves using that word. Every time my mom caught him cheating on her, he would say he had his reasons for doing so. "He would say that he slept with other women for the sake of his company, or he didn't know what came over him."But I could tell he enjoyed being with other women, so why couldn't he say that? Couldn't he own up to his mistakes?" Gwen became more and more agitated as she talked, completely forgetting that she was in the car.The noise woke Caroline up. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at Gwen in confusion. "Gwen …"Caroline's voice brought Gwen back to her senses, and she forced a smile. "I'm sorry, Carol. I was being too loud.""Did something happen?" Caroline rubbed her eyes."We …""It's nothing. We were just disc
As the man watched Caroline leave, he asked with a smile, "Did you have a fight with your wife?"Kirk nodded slightly."Quarrels can actually improve a spouse's relationship." He explained with a smile, "My wife and I understand each other better every time we fight."This was Kirk's first time hearing such an argument, and he grimaced. "Even if quarreling improves our relationship, I don't want to fight with my wife. "Because every time we fight, it would cause a wound in my wife's heart, and every time we reconcile, it would leave a scar in her heart."The man was stunned by his words. Then, he said nonchalantly, "You're right. From now on, I have to avoid fighting with my wife."After Caroline walked out of the study, she saw two children fighting over an Ultraman action figure. When she had first looked at the family's information, it said the family had two children, a boy and a girl. So she had bought an action figure and a doll for them. However, she discovered th
Kirk had already come to a stop in front of her. He raised his hand and patted Caroline's head as if rewarding a well-behaved child. Then, he turned to the two children and said, "Do you remember what Ms. Caroline said?"Although Kirk was smiling, he was still intimidating. The two children nodded timidly.Kirk said, "That's good. Go ahead and play outside."The two children immediately dashed outside.Caroline also wanted to run, but she couldn't move her legs. Besides, she was ashamed that she was so attached to Kirk's touch. She thought she was really nuts. If she wasn't in Macovo, she would really ask Kirk for a divorce. If this continued, she doubted she could keep resisting Kirk's influence. She kept telling herself that polygamy was wrong. It was wrong!"Darling …" Kirk brushed away Caroline's hair. "That was a nice speech. You're also good at handling children. It proves that your previous worries were unnecessary.""Don't touch me." Caroline took a big step back. S
At the same time, Kirk and Sean were a little jealous that Gwen and Caroline could hug each other without restraint.After getting the evidence they needed, the four of them said goodbye to the owners of the home.The man was quite regretful. "It's such a pity you can't stay for dinner. I have a friend coming over soon, and he's a famous investor here. He'll be very happy to meet you," he said, looking at Kirk.The four of them thanked them again and walked towards the door.Just then, the doorbell rang outside. The man opened the door and saw his friend standing outside with a drink. He immediately opened his arms and welcomed him warmly. "Oh, Angelo, my dear friend!"The name "Angelo" made Caroline look up at the man. The man standing at the door was one Caroline had seen at the clinic. He was the liar Dolly had mentioned. He didn't have a female companion with him this time.Caroline held back her surprise, but she couldn't help but ask Angelo, "Do you know Dolly?"Angelo
By the time Caroline recovered, half an hour had already passed. Everyone else was waiting in the dining room, not daring to make a sound. They silently watched Kirk, who had been by Caroline's side the whole time.Angelo wiped his tears and said in Macovian, "How touching."Gwen secretly asked Sean what Angelo had said. After getting an answer, she couldn't help grimacing."Touching? What's touching about this? If a man really loves a woman, he should keep himself in check."Angelo was confused. "But that gentleman seems to really like that lady. This is the love I've always wanted."The reason why I haven't gotten married despite having many girlfriends is because I don't have someone who makes me feel the emotion of love."Gwen's expression was dark. But she had to admit that even though she knew the inside story, she often felt like Kirk loved Caroline. "It was precisely because of this that she was even more upset. She didn't understand men at all.If he loved her so mu
"I know that you'll be on Caroline's side as her friend. But I must tell you this—Kirk's issues are complicated. It can't be explained in one or two sentences. "You'll only make things more complicated if you get involved. Besides—" Sean looked straight at Gwen.His piercing gaze made Gwen's heart pound uncontrollably, and she stammered, "B—Besides what?""Do you think Kirk will hurt Caroline?" Sean smiled gently.Gwen pursed her lips. As she looked at his sincere gaze, she couldn't go against his will. The temperature on her cheeks slowly rose. Worried about being seen through, she impatiently shook off Sean's hand. "Okay, I got it. I won't get involved. You never stop nagging. I shouldn't call you Dr. Yates anymore. I'll call you Grandma Yates instead."Sean wasn't annoyed by her nickname at all. Instead, he grinned. "You can call me whatever you want, as long as you enjoy it." After a pause, he continued, "But only you can call me that."His exclusive claim tugged at
