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
Kirk's gaze remained soft. He gently caressed Caroline's trembling body as if comforting a child. He said patiently, "I'll explain things to you, but please give me some time, okay?" He would think of the perfect way to solve this so his actions wouldn't leave a scar in Caroline's heart like a nail.Caroline slowly let go of Kirk's collar. Tears kept rolling down her cheeks. She held her face in her hands and sobbed. It was as if she wanted to let out all the heartache and grievances she had suffered during this time."How can you be so cruel, Kirk? Do you know how I've lived during this time? "Why can't you just tell me the truth? Either you tell me you don't have a wife in another country, or you do. "It doesn't matter which answer you give! It's much better than the vague answer you're giving now!"Kirk's heart ached as he watched Caroline's shoulders shake with her sobs. He had to use every bit of his willpower to restrain his emotions and not tell Caroline the truth
They sat facing each other as they enjoyed the food in silence. Now that Gwen had obtained evidence, they decided on a date for them to return.Caroline and Gwen insisted on purchasing the tickets to go back themselves. Kirk and Sean had to find a way to get the right tickets so that all four of them could travel back together. This time, they learned from experience. Sean would persuade Caroline about it, while Kirk would talk to Gwen. It was a brilliant idea. Kirk hadn't even said anything when Gwen raised her hands in the air in surrender. On Caroline's side, though, Sean had to put in some effort to convince her to give him the details of the flight. He had a way with words, and she eventually relented. When they got on the plane, Gwen whispered into Caroline's ear. "Why do I feel like we've fallen into their trap?" Caroline fell silent at her words. In the middle of the flight, Kirk sat down beside Caroline and said, "Darling, there's something I want to discuss with
The poor and pitiful expression on Mia's face made Gwen come to a realization. Even if she told Sean that Mia had caused her to get suspended from work, Mia would still make up lots of excuses. If Sean questioned Mia, she would put the blame on Gwen. The fact that Mia was capable of such a feat meant that she was immensely crafty. She would have had a bright future ahead of her if only she had taken the right path. Gwen inhaled deeply and found that she wasn't that angry at Mia anymore. "Where's your mom?""Why do you want to see her?" Mia asked, cautious. Just then, her mother walked out of the kitchen. "Do we have guests?" she asked.Then, her expression changed when she saw Gwen and the others. "Didn't I tell you before that my daughter won't ever appear in your sight again? Why are you people here?" "Because your daughter got me suspended from work.""Nonsense!" The hostel owner retaliated right away. "My daughter would never do something like that." "Go ahead an
