Caroline completely ignored Kirk and spent the whole of dinner talking to Gwen.Gwen used the same tactic. However, when she found out that Sean had hired the men to beat her father up, she couldn't resist widening her eyes. "You really did that?"Sean analyzed the look on Gwen's face. When he saw that she wasn't angry, he smiled and said, "Yes."Caroline couldn't help but look over at Sean too. "Why did you do that?" Gwen asked in confusion.Sean replied, "It's public responsibility to maintain public order."Gwen couldn't help but splutter out a laugh. After a moment, she stopped eating and asked, "Then … do you have a video of what happened?"Sean had a playful look in his eyes. He seemed like he was getting what he wanted. "I do. It's at my place. Do you want to come over and watch it?"After some debate, Gwen couldn't resist the temptation. She bit her lip and asked, "Do I have to go to yours to watch it?""Yes. It's proof of a crime, after all. I'm afraid that bri
"Darling … You seem to miss my body a lot …"Caroline looked up at Kirk. He looked unperturbed, with his hands casually behind his head as he smiled at her. Caroline's face turned redder.She levered herself upright using the armrests. When she finally managed it, she looked down at Kirk. "Don't think so highly of yourself."Kirk laughed. "Alright. Then, I miss yours, alright?""You pervert!" After cursing Kirk out, Caroline carefully stepped over his legs and rushed out of the private room in a huff. Kirk got up to follow her. His fingers lingered on the warmth she had left on his abs, and he smiled brighter.When she got outside, Caroline's face didn't feel as warm anymore. She opened the car door and got in. Just as she was about to close it, a hand shot out to hold the door.Caroline frowned. She looked at the head sticking through the doorway and frowned.During this time, Kirk squeezed himself into the car. Caroline asked, "What do you want?""To send you home.""M
Instinctually, Caroline wanted to say no. But thinking of how the perpetrator hadn't left any traces at all and hadn't stolen anything, she became anxious. Who knew if the perpetrator would come back?With Kirk there, at least he could help ensure her safety. Caroline wasn't someone who would take risks with her life.Seeing Caroline silent, Kirk made himself comfortable. "It's really late. You should head to bed early. I'll have someone come and clean up tomorrow."Caroline hummed in acknowledgement before going into the bathroom.After washing up, she came out to find that Kirk had already cleaned up the couch. Sensing her gaze, Kirk looked up and smiled. "I'll sleep on the couch tonight. Don't lock your room door. If something happens, give me a shout, and I'll rush over."Caroline looked at the couch without saying anything.The couch was only about five feet long. There was still a pile of stuff on it that hadn't been cleared away. Kirk was more than six feet tall. I
"Why don't you start a class? I'll be the first to register myself," came Sean's next text message.Kirk put his phone away and didn't reply anymore. Actually, Sean had been the one to give him this idea. He once again turned to look at the warm light on the floor. He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.In her room, Caroline turned around for the 28th time. After that, she couldn't help but get up. Using the excuse of needing a drink, she went to the living room and found Kirk sleeping peacefully. The sight stunned her.He looked like it had been a long time since he had gotten some rest. There were shadows under his eyes. The couch really looked like it was making him uncomfortable, but he didn't frown. His mouth was even curved upward.Caroline couldn't help but raise her hand. When she was about to touch Kirk's forehead, she suddenly realized what she was doing. She pulled her hand back and picked up her glass of water before speeding back into her room.Whe
Jack's reaction was very solemn. He replied, "Please don't joke. She's a colleague at my company. She's just a young woman, and she doesn't have a boyfriend. If you say that, people might misunderstand."The instructor was taken aback. After a moment, she turned and apologized to Cheryl. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked."Actually, it was a common joke in Easton, so Cheryl didn't take it to heart. But seeing how serious Jack had been, she became flustered. She suddenly felt like she was seen as something precious.Outside the classroom, Cheryl followed behind Jack. "Jack, Caroline asked me to invite you to her place tonight to watch Sonia's new show. Do you want to come?"Jack didn't think much about it. "Sure."When they got to the elevator, Cheryl looked at Jack's broad and solid back. She said softly, "Actually … you didn't have to be so serious just now.""What?""That instructor was just joking."Jack tilted his head and said, equally somberly, "I know, but I only cons
When Caroline saw Kirk, the smile on her face vanished. The huge change in demeanor told Jack, clueless as he was being said to be, that Kirk and Caroline hadn't settled the issues between them.This was the first time Cheryl had seen Kirk. It was only when Jack went forward to help him with the bags that she realized this was Caroline's husband. She had been dying to meet him for ages!Damn! He was so handsome!Cheryl wasn't interested in fangirling, so she had never understood how excited people might feel when they met their idols. However, she had a taste of that feeling just then.After all, people just couldn't resist a handsome face. "Caroline, Caroline. Your husband is so handsome!" Cheryl clutched Caroline's sleeve as she said this. She completely forgot that Caroline and Kirk were currently fighting. Seeing Cheryl lose her composure, Caroline felt less guilty.See, it wasn't just her who couldn't stand up to the power of Kirk's looks. He was simply too handsome. So
Cheryl looked at Caroline in disbelief. "Caroline, you must be joking, right? Your husband's so handsome, and he's a manager at Morrison Corp. Do you know how many people would want to marry him?"Caroline really didn't have a clue.After Cheryl explained things, Caroline finally understood that Kirk was an exceptional man when it came to ordinary people. He was a very successful man.Caroline had only considered Kirk an ordinary person because she had been comparing him to men from wealthy families, those with riches that had been accumulating for multiple generations. Indeed, when compared to such men, Kirk didn't have many advantages."Besides, women now have to look at more than what's in men's wallets. We also have to consider their looks. With your husband's looks, countless people would throw money at him even if he was broke."Caroline was confused by this, and it showed on her face. "I can tell that you don't pay attention to what goes on in the entertainment indust
Caroline looked at Kirk in confusion. "I really don't understand why it's so hard to explain why you're supposedly already married."Right then, there was a knock at the door.Caroline turned her head and saw Jack with a basket full of vegetables. He looked to be at a loss for words. This glass sliding door was really good for soundproofing.Caroline had no choice but to pull the door open. "Ms. Evans, Cheryl asked me to tell you that the webseries is starting."Caroline nodded and took one last look at Kirk before leaving the kitchen.Back in the living room, Caroline was still thinking about what she had asked Kirk. She couldn't pay much attention to the show at all. However, Cheryl was having the time of her life watching it. "Caroline, I really understand why you said Sonia would become popular after watching this show. Her entrance was amazing! She can beat Daphne Dawson any day!"Caroline answered distractedly, "That's right.""Speaking of Daphne Dawson, I really w
