"Alright, then I'll leave now. Have a good rest." Eddy only turned to leave after a moment of hesitation.Once the door closed, Caroline couldn't take it anymore. She collapsed into bed. She really missed Kirk. She really wanted to be in his arms.Picking up her phone, Caroline checked the time on the screen. In the end, she didn't dial Kirk's number.Laying in bed, she closed her eyes. Once again, she recalled what Jude had said to her in her dream. That night was destined to be a sleepless one.When she woke up the next day, Caroline's head felt heavy and dizzy.However, there were a lot of things still waiting for her to settle. Thus, she had to force herself to get into the spirit."Did you have a bad night last night?" Eddy hesitantly brought a cup of coffee over.Caroline looked up. After some thought, she accepted the cup. "Why don't I take over?" Eddy felt his heart ache for Caroline at the sight of her this way.But Caroline said, "No need. Drinking this coffee wil
The nightmare caused Caroline to spring awake from the fight. Thereafter, she didn't dare to shut her eyes again. When she did, she saw Jude lying in a fresh pool of blood and crying out to her without end, "Caroline, I died because of you. How could you be so heartless?"When she woke up the next day, Caroline was even more out of it.Thus, she could only make herself a huge cup of coffee. As she drank it, Eddy came downstairs from the second floor.Seeing the dark circles under Caroline's eyes, Eddy asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"He had heard the noises coming from her room last night and had wanted to check on her. However, recalling what had happened the previous night and her attitude, Eddy had decided to give it a pass.It was obvious that Caroline didn't like him one bit right now.Finally realizing this, Eddy had been very upset. He had stayed in bed, unable to sleep, and could only listen to the noises from Caroline's room and toss and turn.Caroline shook her he
"But you could also say that we never met. The last few times, he was always wearing a mask. I never got to see what he looks like." Caroline asked Simon excitedly, "Since he's attending Grandpa's funeral today, he probably won't be wearing a mask anymore, right?"Both Eddy's and Simon's expressions changed again.Eddy was especially incapable of holding back. He asked, "You … you've never seen my second uncle's face?""That's right." Caroline didn't understand why Eddy and Simon looked astonished. "He's always so mysterious when he shows up. Does he wear a mask because his looks aren't very nice?"Eddy blinked, taken aback."Then … then why do you have his number on your phone?"If Caroline hadn't even seen Kirk's face, that meant that he didn't trust Caroline. If he didn't trust her, then why would she have his phone number?Eddy was so confused by all this that he was getting dizzy.However, Simon was getting a clearer picture of what was going on. As he looked at Eddy,
But wasn't it too much of a coincidence? Caroline really had to ask Kirk about it once she got home.They spent the journey without talking and soon arrived at the funeral parlor. Once she got out of the car, Caroline immediately saw Gwen.She walked over and greeted, "Gwen."Seeing how pale Caroline looked, Gwen felt really bad for her friend. "Did that awful Eddy give you a hard time so you couldn't sleep? Did he shove all the work on you?"Caroline laughed. "He didn't. The past few days, he's been quite different from how he used to be.""Oh? Different in what way?" As she spoke, Gwen's gaze settled on Eddy. She noticed that he was looking at Caroline and burst out laughing. "Now he regrets it. What was he even doing before?"Caroline didn't get it. "What's he regretting?""Of course he's regretting that he missed out on having such a beautiful, educated, and sweet wife." As she said all this, Gwen intentionally walked Caroline past Eddy, her hand on Caroline's waist.Caro
"Carol, what's up with you?" Gwen nudged Caroline's arm.Caroline came back to herself in a daze and looked down at Jude in his casket. His eyes were tightly shut, not open, which finally made her realize that she had been mistaken just now."Carol?" Gwen called again softly. "Are you alright? Why does your face look so pale?"Caroline shook her head. Her bad sleep the past couple of nights had probably caused her to see things. "Let's go."The next guest had come forward to place their flower. Caroline nodded and followed Gwen back to their seats.After the flower portion of the ceremony, Thomas came up to say a few words, bidding Jude farewell. Gwen used this opportunity to ask Caroline lowly, "Why can't I see Eddy's second uncle? Isn't he coming?"Looking around, Caroline said, "Mr. Zellen said that he had called to say he would attend.""But why don't I see him?"Those who were attending the funeral today were rich and powerful. Most of them were people Gwen knew. O
After that, Thomas introduced Sean in front of everyone. "This is my uncle's son's …"Someone asked, "Is this Mr. Eddy's second uncle? I didn't expect him to look so young and handsome!""Yeah! He's really handsome, graceful, and elegant. I wonder if he's married yet. ""Oh my God, I can't believe a handsome man like him actually exists!"Their discussions began to spread throughout the room.Caroline glanced at Gwen, who was gritting her teeth, and whispered, "Are you jealous, Gwen?""Jealous? Why the hell would I be jealous?" Gwen spat.Caroline was rendered speechless by her answer.Gwen, who had noticed the change in her attitude, quickly added, "I'm angry because I don't know why he came here instead of Eddy's second uncle.""I'm not sure about that either."At this time, everyone else learned from Eddy that the person before them wasn't the president of SY Group but his good friend."I apologize for the misunderstanding," Sean said with a smile. His gaze naturally swep
However, Asher didn't say anything mean to Caroline. Instead, he was very friendly. "Long time, no see, Caroline. How have you been? I heard you're now Evans Group's CEO. I'm really happy for you."Caroline looked at Gwen hesitantly. Gwen was also surprised by Asher's attitude. However, they didn't let their guard down. After all, Aurora was standing behind Asher, eyeing them warily.Although Gwen had never clashed with Aurora, the actress had a well-known reputation among the upper class. If anyone dared to upset her, she would tear them apart.However, Aurora dropped her arrogant and obnoxious attitude and greeted Caroline with a smile, saying, "Hello, Caroline."Asher glanced back and forth between them. "Do you know each other?"Aurora answered naturally, "Yeah, we had a little misunderstanding before, so we got off the wrong foot."Asher raised an eyebrow and asked, "A misunderstanding? What kind of misunderstanding?"Caroline and Gwen weren't fools. They could tell that th
"The fact that he's not here right now is exactly why I'm doing this. You have no idea. Kirk stares daggers at me whenever I touch you when he's around. It's terrifying."Caroline laughed at Gwen's words and returned to the topic at hand. "Just now, you said you were jealous. What are you jealous of?"Gwen sat up seriously and said, "I'm jealous that Marietta is your godmother. Goodness, if I were her goddaughter, I would have let the entire world know about it."Caroline chuckled. "There's nothing to be jealous of. It's not like I'm her biological daughter."Gwen couldn't help but feel sad when she heard her words. "Exactly. You're not her real daughter. "Also, didn't Marietta say she had some news about her daughter? She'll probably return to Yudonia after she finds her daughter, right?"When that happened, Caroline would be all alone again. But at least she still had Kirk. The sadness on Gwen's face faded at the thought of this. However, she felt a slight disappointment. "I
