After a brief moment, the two of them collapsed on the ground, panting.Gwen leaned against the door panel. "You've gotten out of practice after being away for so long."Ignoring Gwen's mockery, Sean leaned on her shoulder. "How long do you plan on staying here?"Gwen's breathing slowly evened out. "I'll leave as soon as the project is complete." After a pause, she asked, "What's going on with Carol? She can actually meet Marietta now. Also, what's happening with Kirk?"Sean stared at Gwen intently.Gwen felt her heart pound at his gaze. "What's wrong?""I can't believe you're only asking about Caroline and not how I have been during this time." Sean's voice was gentle and soft, without a hint of resentment. However, it made Gwen feel like a scumbag."I … How have you been doing?"Sean smirked. He had a gentle look in his eyes, but they had a hint of cunning. "Not so good."Gwen asked, "Why not?""I thought about you every day, but I couldn't even see you. Did you think I w
Yvonne had returned home after getting humiliated by Caroline at the poker game. In a fit of rage, she tore all the clothes on her bed into pieces to vent her anger. After she was done, she remembered what Marietta had said on the way home.On the way, she had whined to Marietta, wanting her to help pay the ten million dollars. But to her surprise, Marietta had rejected her requests for the first time. She even said, "Yvonne, you're no longer a child. You need to learn how to take responsibility for your actions."The implication behind her words was clear. She wouldn't help Yvonne pay that amount of money.Yvonne had wanted to snap at Marietta, but when she had seen the latter's resolute expression, she realized she wasn't joking. If she and Marietta fell out, everything she had might be taken away.A fear that Yvonne had never felt crept into her heart, so she had no choice but to reluctantly agree, "All right, Mom. I'll figure this out myself."Now that she recalled everyth
By the time the Shadowers discovered that Caroline had been shot, it would already be too late.Yvonne found it hard to agree. "But after what happened last time, both Caroline and the Yates family have become more cautious. I don't think they'll show up that easily."A small smile appeared on Avery's face. "Ha! Caroline's best friend is here to visit her. I doubt she will decline an invitation from her best friend."Yvonne's eyes lit up at her words. "Then, do I need to do anything?"A hint of murderous intent appeared in Avery's gaze. "Of course. You need to …" After thoroughly explaining what Yvonne needed to do, she hung up the phone.Holding her phone, she looked over at Finn, who was smiling half-heartedly at her. She frowned. "Go on, make fun of me. I know you have plenty of comments about this."Finn put his legs on the table. After observing Avery, he said with a smile, "Oh, Avery, I won't make fun of you. Since I see myself in you, I would just be making fun of myself
Since Gwen had come to Macldo, Caroline had been visibly happier. However, Gwen was here for a business trip, not for fun. After spending time with Caroline for two days, she moved to a hotel in the city.Caroline wanted to drop Gwen there, but the latter stopped her."Carol, I'm relieved to see you doing fine. Besides, it takes about four hours to get to the city. Since you haven't fully recovered, you better rest at home and not be out and about too much. "I'll come over to see you again during the holidays next week.""All right." Caroline's eyes landed on Sean behind Gwen. "I can rest assured since Dr. Yates is taking care of you.""What on earth are you talking about, Carol?" Gwen's cheeks turned slightly red. Then, she looked at Sean and said, "He's just taking me to the hotel."Caroline simply smiled at her words, saying nothing in response.Gwen's face got warmer. After poorly disguising her embarrassment, she said to Caroline, "All right, enough. It's time for me t
Caroline could only pat Mr. Y's hand gently. "Although I've forgotten how we met and what our relationship was, I can tell you're not a bad person. You don't seem like a scumbag, either. "I have no idea why you want to stay with me. W-We can be friends, but I don't want to be your beloved's substitute."A faint smile appeared on Kirk's face, but he didn't explain himself. Instead, he focused his gaze on the back of his hand, where Caroline had touched him.This was the first time Caroline had taken the initiative to touch him after losing her memories. He looked up at the sun, not far away. Everything was moving in the right direction.He now believed Michael's words. One day, Caroline would recover her lost memories. After regaining her memories, she would also come to terms with many things and finally move on from Jude's death.But it was just a matter of when that would happen. Even so, he was willing to wait for that day to arrive, no matter how long it took."I told you, C
While Gwen was lost in thought, the woman had already approached Sean. "When did you come back, Sean? Why didn't you tell me something so important? Do you even see me as a friend?" She raised her fist and hit Sean's body as she said that.At first glance, Gwen could tell that they were close. She clenched her fists. "Since you've bumped into an old friend, I'll go upstairs," she said, wanting to leave immediately.As if she had just noticed Gwen, the woman asked in surprise, "Who's this?"Sean grabbed Gwen and said, "This is my girlfriend."Gwen's eyes widened slightly at his answer.That woman looked at Gwen in disbelief. After a moment, she recovered from her shock and said gracefully, "So, she's your girlfriend. Forgive me. Hey, I remember the person I saw in the hospital didn't look like this."She asked, "Are you wearing makeup? I heard that the makeup in Easton is great. It can change someone's appearance completely. No wonder I couldn't recognize you."Gwen's expressio
Gwen was stunned. "A-Are you serious?"Sean's expression didn't change. "Of course, it doesn't matter if I can't find them. I can get the surveillance tapes for the times I've met Katie.""Are you insane?" Gwen stood upright and leaned close to Sean. "Why are you doing something so meaningless and unrewarding?""Why would it be unrewarding?" Sean smiled gently. "As long as you believe me, it'll be a rewardable task. You're my biggest driving force in doing this."Gwen met Sean's gaze and opened her mouth to speak. "Sean, I know what you're doing, but it's no use. In fact, I've thought about moving forward. But every time I moved forward, I would think of the times my mother and I caught my father having affairs."She had vivid memories of those events. The mistress screaming from being beaten, her father panicking, and the passersby pointing at them …Those memories had been engraved in her body and soul. She would never forget about it."Gwen." Sean looked at her calmly.
Sure enough, Caroline was moved. She picked up the tickets and carefully looked them over."You have to attend it. My mother will definitely be thrilled to see you there." When Yvonne saw Caroline easing off, she knew she had achieved her goal. She couldn't help but smirk.Caroline held the tickets and asked, "How much are these tickets?""You don't need to pay. Since it's my mom's lecture, it's my treat."Yvonne stood up. "It's getting late, so I'll take my leave." After saying that, she left.As Caroline watched her leave, she looked down at the tickets in her hand. For some reason, she had a strong urge to attend this lecture."Are those tickets to Marietta's lecture?" Betty's voice rang out from behind her.Caroline nodded."Do you want to go?" Betty asked with a smile.Caroline nodded, then shook her head.Betty knew that Caroline was hesitant because of what had happened last time. "If you want to listen to the lecture, I can ask the organizer to contact the live broa
