Silence filled the air again after Caroline left. "Chery—" Jack started."Stop. You listen to me first." Cheryl straightened her back. "I was wrong last time. I shouldn't have gotten mad at you.""You were being kind by introducing me to someone else." She continued, "I'm so sorry." Jack suddenly found himself at a loss for words. The two of them sat quietly in the car after that. Sometime later, Cheryl broke the silence and asked, "What were you going to tell me just now?" Jack was about to say something but thought better of it. He shook his head and told her, "It's nothing. I have nothing to say." The words that were on the tip of his tongue just now disappeared. "Can we still be friends?" Chery asked. Staring into her smiling eyes, Jack found himself sympathizing with her. "Yes, of course.""That's great," Cheryl said. "So, we'll just pretend like nothing happened then?" "Okay …""Well then," said Cheryl, her tone sounding much more cheerful than before. "Let's go

"When have I said that I'm leaving you?" Kirk chuckled at her response. "I know you won't leave me. I just wanted to tell you that I couldn't live without you," he said as he pinched her earlobe. Caroline glanced up at him. "What's wrong?" She wondered why he was speaking as if she was leaving him soon."Nothing." Kirk lowered his head and rested his forehead against hers. "Are you hungry, darling?""No." "Well, I am," he said and proceeded to bite her earlobe playfully. "I'll make you dinner once I've eaten."His words left Caroline speechless once again.

Marietta felt a rush of emotions when she first saw Yvonne, but the feelings vanished rather quickly. She thought it was strange. She had anticipated more excitement when meeting her long-lost daughter. But as Yvonne walked toward her …Instead of sensing a familiar feeling with Yvonne, Marietta was growing increasingly resistant to the idea that she was her daughter.With a hand on her chest, Marietta told herself that she was feeling that way simply because she wasn't completely certain if Yvonne was her daughter yet. "Dad, Mom, why did you call me here?" Yvonne wasn't aware of Marietta. She was focused on reading the label "Laboratory" on the door behind her parents. "Are you feeling sick?" Yvonne asked worriedly."No." Aiden patted her on the shoulder. He explained, "Ms. Weiss here claims that you are her daughter. She wouldn't be convinced otherwise.""We wanted you to take a test." He continued, "Are you okay with this?" Only after hearing his words did Yvonne realize t

"Let Ms. Weiss have a look at the results."The doctor wavered.Aiden noticed his hesitance and immediately sensed something amiss.

I'm daddy's daughter!" Yvonne sounded frantic. "There must be something wrong with the report!"Aiden snatched the re

Caroline and Kirk were eating when they heard knocking on the door. She looked at the time and wondered aloud, "Who could be visiting us at this hour?""I'll get the door," said Kirk. He got up and headed toward the door. After peeking through the doorhole, his expression changed."Who is it?" asked Caroline.She had just asked her question when Kirk opened the door to admit a haggard-looking Marietta. Caroline rushed to her and led into the house. "Mom, what happened to you?"Marietta looked lifeless. "It's confirmed that Yvonne is my daughter," she mumbled."Isn't this great news? Why do you look so—" Marietta started mumbling again, leaving Caroline's sentence unfinished. Her voice was low, so Caroline couldn't tell if she was talking to her, or simply mumbling to herself."But she doesn't accept me as her mother," Marietta muttered.Caroline paled at her words and gripped Marietta's hands to comfort her.Kirk headed into the kitchen to pour Marietta a glass of water."Did

Many issues could have been solved if Marietta's biological daughter had been Caroline.Caroline brought a blanket out from the bedroom and draped it over Marietta. She took Kirk's hand and whispered, "Let's turn in." They should let Marietta rest. Upon entering the bedroom, Kirk immediately wrapped an arm around Caroline's waist. Sensing his intention, she quickly pressed her hands against his chest to stop him. "Don't. Mom's still outside," she warned.A smirk played on his lips as he gripped her hands and said, "I wasn't planning on doing anything, though. What were you thinking, darling?" A blush crept up Caroline's cheeks. A moment later, she spoke, "I wonder if Yvonne will accept Marietta as her mother.""Marietta spent half of her life searching for her daughter. Now that she's finally found her daughter, she won't be able to take it if her daughter can't return with her." Kirk tugged at Caroline, urging her to sit on the bed. "Don't worry about it too much.

"Say no more, Layla will definitely win! Eddy will surely help Layla. He even helped her with Evanson Corp. He didn't say a word when she failed to manage it and gained some backlash. Instead, he helped her out of the mess!" "I am aware of this as well. It's precisely why I think Eddy will help her take over the Collins Group." "That's bullshit! That was in the past. Eddy doesn't even want to talk to Layla anymore. Otherwise, she would've been long out of prison." "If you don't have pictures of it, you can't prove it. If Layla reads this, she could sue you for defamation." "Hilarious! Do you think she can view these posts now? If you know nothing about this, just keep your mouth shut. At Jude Morrison's funeral, it was obvious who was supporting who.""Caroline was in charge of all the preparations for his funeral. Isn't the problem clear enough?" "What did I just read? Caroline took it upon herself to make the preparations for the funeral. Wow! Doesn't this mean that the M

While the entire office staff worked with reluctance, Kirk was the exact opposite. Although he seemed to be relaxing at home, his mind was actually on work all of the time. The corner of his lips tilted upward in a smile. It was his life's greatest joy to be able to see Caroline constantly.It was all worth it. Even if it meant he had to go out of his way to pretend that he didn't have a job. He didn't want to lose Caroline again. He "resigned" after he considered cutting ties with the Morrison family. He also wanted to watch out for Caroline. Jude's death had indeed affected her, even though she seemed unfazed.
