Scott was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean?"Caroline steeled herself and explained, "We can start being together after Grayson's birthday!"Scott was astonished, his lips trembling as he questioned, "Could you repeat that?"Caroline nervously took a sip of water. "You understand what I'm saying. Maybe it's not exactly fair to you—""This isn't about fairness," Scott swiftly interrupted, his smile growing wider.His clear eyes began to well up with tears. "I've waited nearly six years to hear these words from you."Caroline felt a sense of relief and said with a smile, "I'm glad you're okay with it.""I've always been okay with it! I know you have things to sort out. I'll patiently wait for the day when I can take care of you and your children," Scott said in a reassuring tone.Caroline blushed. "Haven't you been taking care of us all this time?""It's different," Scott said smilingly. *Scott and Caroline visited Lily at the hospital after dinner, just before she r
Caroline felt sorry for her children, but she couldn't do more until she resolved things with Daniella and Grayson.She couldn't bear her children being taken away again. She couldn't manage everything, so she had to leave them with Evan, even though it was tough.Safety was her utmost priority. Caroline embraced Tyler and Axel, their small group standing closely together.With a gentle sniffle, she assured, "I'll always be here for you, my dear children. I can visit anytime you want. Just hold on a bit longer, alright?"Tyler and Liora both nodded while Axel remained silent.Noticing Axel's lack of response, Caroline eased her hold on him and looked at him. "Axel?"Meeting her gaze, Axel cautiously asked, "Will I get to go with you too?"Caroline felt a pang of sadness but responded quickly. "Yes, my precious. You're coming with me too. How could I ever leave you behind?"Axel smiled,Unexpectedly, Liora chimed in. "He tried to make me talk, Mommy!"Caroline was puzzled. "
Caroline could not refrain from trying to complain, yet Alex interrupted her. Alex sat down and explained, "Evan is here to see someone, Caroline."Caroline was suspicious because the attendees were all ordinary staff members. How could there be someone important enough for Evan to visit in person?Caroline smiled. "You're joking, Mr. Pierce. I believe no one here is worthy of Mr. Jordan's personal visit to my measly gathering.""Are you not, Ms. Shenton?" Alex asked Caroline with a smile. Caroline refuted, "I'm not worthy."Evan's expression turned solemn, and he said bluntly, "I'm not here to see you. I'm looking for G."Caroline was stunned by Evan's truthfulness. Kenny looked at Caroline and leaned close, whispering, "You're doomed. They are here for you!"Caroline glared at Kenny in displeasure and warned him softly, "Stop whispering."If Evan discovered more, it could cause problems. Since she was planning to give Scott a chance, she didn't want unnecessary connectio
Meanwhile, the music at the venue came to a halt.Amidst the silence, the email notification ringtone chimed.Evan's gaze fixed on Caroline and Kenny.Shortly after, Kenny retrieved his phone, swiftly glancing at Evan when he noticed the incoming email.Their eyes locked, and Kenny's expression turned visibly anxious. He quickly put the phone in his pocket, feigning nonchalance.Evan sneered and concluded that Kenny was G.'He won't agree to my higher offer, so it seems he's siding with Caroline. Why? Are you trying to prove your love only for Caroline despite the temptations?' Evan pondered.Evan lifted his glass and downed his drink.Observing the situation, Paige refilled Evan's glass, ensuring her best friend remained out of trouble.In a playful tone, Paige instigated, "Drinking alone is no fun, Mr. Jordan. You should get Mr. Pierce to join you!"She was about to pour a drink for Alex as she spoke.Alex covered his glass swiftly. "Why don't you drink with your employer
There was no way to tell how Evan felt from his expression. "I'm just here to ask you a question. What's your relationship with G?"Caroline was rendered speechless, thinking, 'What do you mean what's my relationship with G? What relationship can I have with myself? Has Evan mistakenly assumed that G is someone else?'Caroline said, "I'm not obligated to answer your question."Evan looked at her scornfully. "G is wildly conceited with limited perspective. Even if he is extraordinarily talented in some ways, he won't go far.""Why do you have to speculate a designer's progress from your businessman's perspective?" Caroline was amused. He regarded her as having limited perspective just because she refused to work for him.'Will I only be able to grow my influence by relying on MK?' she wondered sarcastically.She had never relied on him for the past five years, yet she still achieved her dream of becoming a top-notch designer. Evan casually twirled his wine and remarked, "Unles
Alex sat up and noticed Paige wrapping herself in a blanket while their clothes were scattered on the floor. He suddenly realized he had slept with Paige the previous night."I'm talking to you!" Paige shouted when Alex didn't respond.Rubbing his buttocks, Alex stood up. Paige's eyes widened in shock as she noticed something."You…" Paige glared at Alex. "Are you an exhibitionist? Have you no sense of shame?"Alex's expression was calm. He picked up his clothes and dressed slowly while saying, "Why are you still feigning your innocence after you've used it?"Paige gnashed her teeth in rage. "Do you think that everyone is like you? It's my first time!"Paige got out of bed swiftly and dressed before running out of the room.Alex sighed when he heard the door slam. He would never intentionally sleep with a virgin, so how could that have happened accidentally?After putting on his shirt, he flicked on the light. Immediately, his eyes caught a few dried bloodstains on the bed shee
Reuben walked into Evan's office and reported, "Mr. Jordan, the businessman from Flortine is coming to Angelbay tonight. Would you like to meet him?"Evan looked up and asked, "What brings him to Angelbay?""He claimed that he is coming to consult an outstanding surgeon from Angelbay Hospital to treat his son's tumor.""Look into the doctor that he wants to consult.""Yes, sir."Reuben was getting ready to leave when Evan asked, "Any news on the paternity test?""I've already arranged for someone to speed up the test results. You should have them in three days," Reuben replied. "Noted. You may leave." Evan looked at the computer screen once again. At the same time, his phone rang. An email response from G appeared, so Evan opened his email inbox.G: [Please consider looking at other candidates, as my abilities are limited.]Evan sneered.Evan: [If I understand correctly, you decided not to join MK because you've opted to join someone else, correct?]While assisting Caroli
Caroline headed straight back to Bayview Villa after work to help Kenny with the move.Kenny hurried over as soon as she walked in. "Hey, where are the kids, G?"Caroline replied, "They're at Evan's. Complicated story. Let's move your stuff now, and we'll chat later."Noticing Caroline's reluctance, Kenny didn't pry.After they finished unpacking, Caroline ordered some food delivery.Ten minutes later, a knock sounded at the door.Caroline moved to answer, but Kenny intervened. "I'll handle it."He jogged to the foyer, opening the door to reveal the man. It was just as he had planned!Evan's expression turned solemn when he saw Kenny. "Why are you—""Uncle Kenny!"Liora stuck out her head from behind Evan before he could speak. Kenny's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hands to pick up Liora. "Lia! I missed you so much! Where did you and Ty go? I have good news for you. We will be living together and get to see each other every day!"Kenny's remark sounded harsh to Eva
