Why hadn't Mr. Y mentioned earlier that he had someone else he loved? Caroline was dying to know what kind of woman was lucky enough to catch his eye. Remembering that Sean was in the room just next to hers, she quickly wiped the tears from her face. That was right! Betty had said that Sean and Mr. Y were childhood friends, so he should know a lot about Mr. Y. With this in mind, Caroline hurriedly opened the door, rushed over to Sean's room, and knocked on the door. In the room, Sean was still mad at Kirk for what he had decided to do. When he heard the knock, he thought it was just one of the household staff. Annoyed, he yelled, "Get lost."Caroline paled, but at the thought of Mr. Y, she bit her lip and mustered the courage. "Mr. Yates, it's me."Sean froze when he realized that it was Caroline behind the door. He pushed away the annoyance he was feeling and stood up to open the door for her. "Caroline? Is something the matter?" he asked. As of late, he had always been
Caroline had already opened the invitation card. It seemed that Marietta had specially signed her name on the card with a fountain pen to show her sincerity. Caroline took in all of this. Sean rushed back into the room, but it was too late. He was on the verge of calling the psychologist but then realized that Caroline seemed just fine. She even cocked her sideways and asked, "This is for me. Why didn't you give it to me? Also, who's Marietta Weiss? Why do I feel like I've heard this name before?" Sean stared at her in absolute shock. Just a few days ago on the cruise ship, Caroline had passed out after Yvonne had mentioned Marietta. This time, though, she hadn't had much of a reaction to the name and had even asked him about it.What exactly was going on? Overwhelmed, Sean said, "Hold on. Go back to your room first. I-I have some business to attend to. I need to make a call."Seeing how nervous he was, Caroline could only leave the room. Once she left, Sean wasted no t
"Yes," said Sean. "I can't ask you about me and Mr. Y's relationship in the past then?""Yeah." Sean nodded.Caroline pursed her lips. "I get it." So, she couldn't ask him why Mr. Y was willing to help her or about the woman Mr. Y loved.Sean sighed inwardly when he saw Caroline lower her head in disappointment. The cruelest thing that could happen in the world was that two people who loved each other couldn't be together. He had experienced it himself, so he could empathize with her. "Do you want to go? To where you were invited, I mean." "Can I?" Caroline answered him with a question. Sean smiled. "Certainly. Since Ms. Weiss' name doesn't mean anything to you now, you can go and meet her.""I'll go then." She had nothing to do every day, anyway. If she had too much time on hand, she would start overthinking, which was far from what she wanted. She checked the time written on the invitation. The 17th. It was tomorrow. Sean said, "Alright then. I'll have someone d
This time, Yvonne managed to come up with an excuse really quickly. "Didn't I tell you last time that I wanted to get to know Caroline all over again?"Besides, you have your reasons for speaking so highly of her. That's why I'm looking forward to seeing her."The weight on Marietta's heart finally lifted after hearing Yvonne's explanation. "That's great. You should chat with her when she comes. She's been through a lot, so she's experienced in all kinds of things. You can learn a lot from her."Yvonne had always disliked it when others nagged her about something. Waving a hand in annoyance, she said, "Okay, okay, I get it.""I'll go and get things ready for tomorrow," she added before going to the kitchen once again. Seeing how Yvonne had grown, Marietta couldn't help but smile at her. Children would grow up someday, after all. After telling the cook which dishes were to be prepared the next day, Yvonne left through the back door and called the psychopath. "Follow the plan
"I've never seen you get along so well with someone younger than you by so much," said Sean."You don't understand, Sean. She has some kind of magical power that makes people enjoy her company."Then, she said, "She's the total opposite of Ms. Weiss' daughter." Her brows knitted together as she continued, "Yvonne's conceited and materialistic. She's impertinent too. I once heard that she comes from a well-known family. But why doesn't she seem like she does at all?" Sean wasn't interested in Yvonne in the least, so he let Betty rant on while he went upstairs. Meanwhile, now that Caroline had gotten her head together, she was more like a curious young child. Looking out the window, she realized that everything around her was unfamiliar to her. She wondered if she would feel the same way when she met Marietta later. Even when the latter's name was brought up, Caroline's mind was like a blank slate. She couldn't recall anything related to Marietta. Just then, she realized that
When Kirk carried Caroline out, he saw the group of Shadowers staring at him in disbelief, as if they had seen something amazing.He frowned and said, "Hurry up and drive! What are you waiting for?"Anthony, the head of the Shadowers, was the first to take action. He quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and called for a car.A black Santana soon arrived.Kirk carried Caroline and quickly got into the car. He provided the driver with the address for Michael's student's clinic. "We need to go there right away."The driver hesitated for a second before starting the car and driving.On the way, he stared at Kirk from time to time. He was in disbelief when he saw how nervous Kirk was. He silently wondered if this was still the same Kirk he knew.The car finally arrived at the psychology clinic.Kirk carried Caroline into a room, where he ran into Michael.Upon seeing Michael, Kirk's face brightened up. He asked, "When did you return?""Just this morning," Michael said. When he sa
After Michael left, Kirk slowly crouched down. He gently brushed aside some strands of Caroline's hair that were damp from her tears."Caroline, I'm here."His gentle voice was like the first rays of morning sunshine breaking through the darkness. His warm breath landed on her brows.Caroline's eyelashes stopped quivering. A moment later, she opened her eyes, like a person who had just surfaced from drowning.When she saw Kirk, Caroline's eyes started to well up with tears again."Mr. Y.""It's okay. It's safe here," Kirk whispered.Caroline lifted her head and looked at Kirk. After a few moments, her body stopped shaking. She bit her lip and slowly asked, "Where is that man? Who is he? Why did he …"She couldn't finish her sentence, and her body started to tremble again.Kirk gently stopped her, saying, "Don't worry, he's already been arrested. As for the rest, you don't need to think about it. I'll … have someone look into it."After hearing what Kirk said, Caroline finally
Michael was puzzled by Kirk's reaction. He had expected Kirk to be overjoyed by the news. After all, Sean had mentioned that Kirk was rather distraught because he couldn't be with Caroline. He could only follow her and watch her from afar every day. Just hearing about that had made Michael feel sorry for him.At first, Kirk could only appear in front of Caroline in disguise. Now, he could even stay by her side directly. Why wasn’t he happy?"Caroline knows that I have someone in my heart, but she doesn't know that the person is her. And I can't tell her yet."Kirk sat down in a chair, his voice dripping with helplessness.Realization hit Michael when he heard that. "No way ..."Kirk was finally able to stay by Caroline's side without any restrictions. But now that she knew Kirk had someone in his heart, she might start avoiding him.Michael didn't know what to say to comfort Kirk at the moment.Even if Kirk was successful in business, he was a bit unlucky in love....Mean
